Two Masculine Card Ideas (With New Die-cut Tools) That are Perfect Father's Day

Handmade cards for dads, brothers, uncles, grandfathers, guy friends - sometimes it feels impossible to create just the right card for a GUY. Whether it's Father's Day, congratulations, or a birthday, today's card ideas and new products from Impression Obsession will hit the nail on the head for masculine card making! It's day 2 of our blog hop celebrating the newest release from Impression Obsession and there's so much to see!

The Hand Tools Die Set is fun for creating masculine themed cards, especially for the Mr. Fix-It in your life! Think about nontraditional colors you might want to use for tools. These also look amazing cut from shiny metallic and other specialty cardstocks. Switch up the Father's Day sentiment, and you could use this card to say thank you or happy birthday too!
The next card could also be for a variety of occasions. In addition to the tools, try the Wood Planks dies to create a cool textured background for your masculine cards. This die set cuts out 5 woodgrain textured panels. Add a little inking to really bring out the texture! For the "nails" on this card I used cute little silver embellishment dots.
