Stuck for ideas ~ Male Cards

Do you sometimes get stuck for ideas when thinking of a Male Birthday?

My rule of thumb is to try and keep them Simple....and I don't usually have many embellishments on them if the card is for an adult recepient........if the card is for a Male child.....then that's different....I add more fun embellishments...depending on the age of the child.....

Here's   a few samples I made recently to put in my card stash.....

For this card.....I just went with scraps of papers in my stash.....some cardstock from Bella.....found the chipboard words also in my stash.....I used my Fiskars Banners Away and Up in the Clouds Interchangeable Border Punches.......easy peasy....with very litte effort.

Once again I kept it simple for the second card....and added a punched border using the Fiskars Up in the Clouds Interchangeable Border Punch.

For the next card I decided to get out some stamps....but still not over doing things....

Once again I just used things from my stash.......this time darker colours...stamped some images and then fussy cut around them with my Fiskars Microtip Scissors...but you could also use the Fiskars Ultra Express Shapecutter to do this......to add a bit of dimension some 3-D adhesive was placed under the images......and there you have them......

I have quite a few male cards to make each year having 4 sons and a hubby to start with.....let along brothers,brother in laws,etc........sometimes I also add Sport Stickers or chipbaord pieces to my boys cards......and with Rod I may add a Fisherman Stamped image,etc......
