I needed a masculine birthday card. I went to my stash of items already cut and created a card.
This will be entered in the Double D Challenge Polka Dots: https://daranddiane.blogspot.com/2024/05/polka-dots.html
I will also enter this in the Can You Handle the Pressure: https://cyhtp.blogspot.com/2024/05/may-11th-2024-anything-goes-with-twist.html
All of the items used are Stampin Up, most retired, but some colors are still available. The banner die I used is Lawn Fawn.
I struggle with masculine cards a lot, but this finally clicked and was easy to create.

Love it!! Great masculine card. Like the polka dots with that embossing folder.
Thanks! I know I have made this style before, which is why I had cut pieces. It was nice to get it done, now I can get it mailed in time.
Great masculine card and love the polka dot design and embossing folder.
Thanks!
Great layout that works with so many papers. Love the embossed background as well!
It is so easy to create. I totally forgot as it has been quite a while. Thanks!
Sounds like you have created the perfect recipe for the next guy card
Thanks! It is ready to mail tomorrow. His birthday is next weekend.
What a fun & fabulous design Lisa!

I love how you got polka dots into this masculine card. Great layout. Thank you so much for joining us at Double D Challenge.
Thank you! Having a lot of patterned paper was the key.
Super masculine card. You could use all kinds of PP with guy type themes.
Love how you did the circles. It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen or done that and it really looks good.
Thanks! My brother received it and liked it.
