Some Masculine Cards

Welcome back

This week I am featuring some masculine cards that I have made using the Heartfelt Creations Under the Sea paper collection.  I am using these as samples in my upcoming cardmaking workshop at Gift Hutt on July 24th along with the cards that I have made using the Heartfelt Creations Italiana Riveria paper collection featured here.

I have used the lovely images in the paper collection and die cut them to make these very quick and easy cards.  Note to self – use a bit more glitter on the shaker card!
