Today I'm sharing a card I made for a male family member on his 50th birthday. I find it a challenge to make cards for guys, but I thought the beer stein was a good image as he does enjoy the occasional beer.
The image is Doctor Digi's House of Stamps - Pint (Colour) and I fussy-cut so I could pop it up on foam tape. The patterned paper is from Basic Grey, and behind the beer stein is a square of brown jute. I stamped the "Finest Quality" circle (Darcie's), punched a circle shape, and then separately stamped the 50 (number stamps from dollar store).
I was inspired by the sketch at Crafting Vicky! She's reviving her blog with a new sketch challenge so I hope you'll head over and check it out. Crafting Vicky was the very first blog I followed way-back-when I first started blogging in 2013. Now she creates YouTube videos, so here is a link to her channel. I enjoy sketches so I wanted to join in!

Fantastic masculine card, I think most of us struggle with masculine cards we are too frou frou. (if that's a word) great use of the sketch and thanks for linking it as I love sketch challenges too.

A lovely masculine card for your family member, Kitty! It's great making birthday greetings with a good glass of beer, it seems just perfect for a man! :) Love the colours you choose, and that beautiful vintage patterned paper catches my eyes! The jute is a brilliant addition, as well your own sentiment, how fun with the double sense!
Have a lovely weekend!
Sending big hugs and love your way!
Gorgeous card!
