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.

I love using the Magic Mat with my die cutting machine, because it alleviates those pesky cutting lines on the underneath side of die cut shapes. You know, the ones from your best used cutting plates?
