FEMININE or MASCULINE?

Morning Everyone,

It's the start of a new challenge at As You Like It and we are asking whether you prefer to make feminine or masculine projects and don't forget to say why please.


For me it's definitely feminine. I'm fine with cards for young boys but when it comes to adult I always struggle for inspiration and, if I do make a male card, I'm normally not very happy with it.  Also, I have so many flower dies/stamps and embellishments to use.

For my card  I have used a Stampin Up woodgrain embossing folder for the background, a Craft Consortium circle die, an Altenew die cut sentiment and Spellbinders Be Bold Blooms for the flowers, which were cut from snippets.  A proper variety of brands for this one!
Some of the snippets used:




The sponsor for the challenge is:
with a voucher for the lucky winner

I would like to enter:

PIP Challenge #2507  - Anything Goes
Beautiful Blossoms - Anything Floral
Crafts Galore - Anything Goes
Snippets Playground - Celebration using snippets (all flowers)

I look forward to see your entries and thank you for your visit.

  2. Wonderfully feminine card and so colourful. I suspect most card makers will say they prefer to make feminine cards!

  9. What a beautiful card Lynne - I do so love your way with arranging die cut flowers! I too much prefer to make cards for females - and also confess I HAD to go and find that absolutely beautiful circle die. Not too fussed about the sentiment and shadow that comes with it - I NEED that circle die! You little enabler - if you lived closer you could be my personal shopper!! Grin.

  12. My cards usually tend to be feminine, I've got to start building a stash of masculine cards instead of waiting when I need one and then being stuck for ideas. Your card is gorgeous, I love all those pretty florals. Thanks for sharing your inspirational card with us at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge and please join in again soon!
