Two for the Guys

I could go on and on about the benefits of subscribing to a kit, especially one like Artful Delight's card kit, but I seem to be running short on time this week so I'll spare you. Just know that you certainly get your bang for your buck, and each kit contains so many elements.


Trying my hand at two masculine based cards today that feature the solid card stock in the Artful Delight June kit as well as the fun patterned paper.

Short and sweet today, hope you all have an excellent weekend!

    Both cards are awesome, Karen! I struggle so much with masculine cards - thanks for the inspiration - love all the green on the first one, and those playful patterns on your second card are so fun! Happy weekend! :)
