More male birthday card inspiration
Hello it's Jane here today with my 2nd design team make for our current "Male Birthday card" challenge. I agree that male cards are quite difficult to make and design but this Visible Image "Ride the wind" bike stamp is a really cool image to use, regardless of whether the recipient is a biker or not.

March 2023 - Birthday card for a man
Welcome to our March Challenge. This month the theme is Birthday Cards for man chosen by our lovely Corrie. We hope you will enjoy joining us in this challenge. Don't forget, by entering your name gets added to the draw to win a £20 gift voucher to spend in the online shop!
Hi everyone,
Welcome to the blog where we start a new challenge today! It is also my turn to host. Because it is my birthday this month, I have chosen the theme 'birthday card' but instead of making just any birthday card I want you all to make a BIRTHDAY CARD FOR A MAN! Yes, I know, we all struggle with that one. So to start off the challenge I have made a really easy and quick card just using designer paper and one stamp. Here it is:
My male birthday card make for this challenge is a version of a card I made for my son's recent birthday using the cats from the awesome new Visible Image "That lovin' feline set". I will be demoing this (and LOTS more) for Country View Crafts at the Ally Pally Craft show which is now less than 2 weeks away! (11th/12th March)
If you would like to see how and made my card and also find out more details about Ally Pally
hop on over to my blog here, where all is revealed.
Happy March everyone! Bye for now,
Jane x
For our March challenge I made not just one but two masculine birthday cards.
These cards are for twins, Peter and David who have recently turned 60.
If you like my cards, please visit my blog for the tutorial.
Hi everyone. If you are like me and find it hard to create anything masculine, here's your chance to be inspired and have a go! I must say that I really enjoyed creating this Birthday Boy walrus card - I hope you like it too!
please pop over to my blog Let's Art Journal.
Hugs, Jo x
