Masculine Cards - Class Wednesday 1st May

Hi everyone, apologies for being absent for a while. I've been away for a week and the internet cover wasn't as good as I had hoped, so no blogging. But, I'm back with a preview of what we will be making at our next class.
This class will cover all your Father's Day needs or the projects can be made for any man in your life. We will be making 2 cards, a gift box and a gift card holder. I can only share the 2 cards with you today as I'm waiting for some more supplies but hopefully this will inspire you to come and join us and make your own projects. Here's the first card:



I used the Clockworks stamp set and have loved playing with it in different colours. This card uses Crazy Cajun, Early Espresso and So Saffron ink. In the other projects, I changed the So Saffron ink for More Mustard as I wanted it to stand out a bit more. This card was pretty easy - I was going for the Clean and Simple Look. Here's a close up:



The next one is very similar but I stepped it up a bit using some 3D pads to raise images and I also used some small silver brads. This time I included Not Quite Navy Ink instead of the Crazy Cajun, and turned it into a birthday card:



And the close up:



Which colour scheme do you prefer? I couldn't decide, so for the gift box and the gift card holder I used all of them. I will have to show you those later though, once my Kraft gift boxes have arrived from Stampin' Up.
