I always seem to run short of masculine cards.  I love this Country Woods DSP with all the weathered timber designs.  Great for all sorts of occasions.  

I teamed it with the Perennial Postage dies and cut a bunch of mix and match rectangles in 2 different sizes for these two cards.

The top card is a super simple card design with just a basic white thick card base and some of the patterned paper pieces.  I've scored a couple of lines at the top and bottom to add a little extra detail.  All you need for that is your scoring blade on your trimmer.  

The other card has a raised panel cut using one of the Perennial Postage dies and embossed with one of the Basics Embossing Folders. This cross hatched design is very versatile.   I really love these Sweetly Scripted stamps for greetings.  This stamp set is from one of our recent Online Exclusive releases.  I've used Crumb Cake for this card base - such a handy neutral that goes with everything.  The ink is Early Espresso.  

I hope your week is going well and that you can squeeze a little creating into your day. 

Happy stamping,

Cheers, Sue
