Here are a couple "manly" cards from our birthday card swap:

This card was made by Pam Crane and features one of our retired sets, Best Dad Ever. 

I liked the one raised tie with just a single rhinestone tie-tack.

This card was made by Deanna Barton and features another retired set, Dapper Dad (I miss this one).  

Sponging and rounding the corners make this a fun and masculine card.

Here are a couple more of the swaps:

This card was made by Michele Murphy using the new Secret Garden stamp set.  

This card was made by Deanna Barton.  The Polka Dot Embossing Folder was a favorite of the swap participants.  

Here are few more of the cards we made:

This card was made from a swap I received from Lynn Anderson. I love popped out tie in the middle.  

This feminine b'day card used the Elements of Style stamp set. The image was stamped on the Shimmery White card stock, then stamped again (but lower) on a smaller piece of SW.  The smaller piece was die cut with the Hearts Framelits Dies and placed where the image overlapped.  See more detail below.  

The image flows together, but only the accent heart is colored. You can even see a little of the Shimmer in the card stock.  

This card was based on a swap I received from convention, then tweaked to add more color and of course, a butterfly for the perfect little girl's b'day card.  

Add little bling is always a good thing.
