Handmade Male Birthday Cards Or For Any Occasions
Handmade Male Birthday Cards can often be hard to design. Why is that? Sometimes,
we don’t even think about creating a man card, or we don’t have the right stamp or papers.
To start to design a card, why not consider hobbies, type of work, and or interests. For example, the card created for Father’s Day centered around fishing. There is a great stamp in the 2019/2020 Annual Catalogue (page 150) and yes, the images are about fishing. Also, there are dies to cut out the various images, plus a couple of dies that do not have matching stamp images, but, compliment the other images.
