Today marks the fist in a new series for me! This Man Card Monday is for those of us that love making cards, but have a hard time with the cards for the guys. Guys are hard! We want to put bling and pretty bits on the cards that we take the time to make, but the guys . . . well, they don’t generally wants the glitz and bling!

So, each Monday, watch for a video from me that will walk you through making the cards, maybe with a little too much talking, sometimes . . . but that’s me! Some cards will be easier than others. Today’s card is a bit of a futzy one, but I LOVE how it turned out!

Today’s card uses papers from both I Heart Us and So Much Happy. Using the Make it From Your Heart, Volume 4 book made it REALLY easy to do!

The white dots from the Black and White Dots helps give it some ‘bling’, but still makes it ok for the guys!

Adding the water coloring on the cacti is what took the most amount of time, well, maybe fussing cutting them took a bit more time? Anyway, those cacti took the most amount of time of the whole card, but I think they are totally worth it!

I hope you like the cards, and that you join me each week for Man Card Monday! I look forward to seeing you next week!
