I sorted all the cards I have stocked up for the big craft fair this Saturday (Nov. 6th 2010) and discovered I was pretty short on masculine cards, so that's what I've been working on for now. I love this Autumn Days set for men cards–anything with animals goes well around here. Still kicking myself for not buying Noble Deer or Wildfowl when I had the chance!
I keep the guy cards fairly simple–they don't "get" a lot of doo-dads, so I don't bother with a bunch of embellishments–just strong design, natural elements, and clean stamping. These cards use Soft Suede and Crumb Cake, with Soft Suede ink.
Back to the salt mines! I'm also low on sympathy cards. And patriotic cards–I'm excited about those! We'll see if it all gets done. It's birthday week here at our house, and I'll be lucky if I make it to the fair with my sanity intact. What? That ship has sailed, you say?!
Good luck! Birthday week here too – DD’s is today and DS is next week
