G’Day Friends,
I’m back with yet another project for our Anything Goes Saturday featuring the Field Notes Cardmaking Kit by Uniquely Creative. You will also notice that I changed it around a little compared to the video. I am liking the change much better.
You can see Robbie’s project HERE.
When it comes to cardmaking, masculine designs can sometimes feel tricky – but they don’t have to be! Today I’m sharing an easy male card featuring a fun card cluster design.
Why I Love This Design
I wanted a project that was quick to put together but still had a strong focal point. The cluster was perfect – it’s simple, classic and works for so many occasions. By layering a small card cluster with die cuts and patterned pieces from the Field Notes kit, I was able to give the design some dimension without making it feel too busy.
How to Make It
-
Choose your base – I started with a neutral cardstock, great for masculine cards – Misty Moonlight or a Navy or Green
-
Add background layers – A subtle patterned paper from the kit adds texture – Vanilla Cardstock with Pattern Paper layered on top
-
Build your cluster – I combined the bike creative cut with a few tags and small embellishments to create a layered cluster – love creating clusters with Creative Cuts & Die Cuts
-
Finish with a sentiment – A simple “Happy Birthday” or “Thinking of You” works perfectly – Mini Cut-a-Parts that come with the kits are perfect for this
Tips for Masculine Cards
-
Stick to neutral or earthy tones.
-
Use geometric shapes or everyday icons (like bikes, tools or maps).
-
Keep embellishments simple but layered for interest.
Why the Field Notes Kit Works So Well
The Field Notes Cardmaking Kit has a great mix of images, patterns and creative cuts that lean naturally toward a masculine style. It makes pulling together a card like this fast and fun.
Whether you need a birthday card, Father’s Day card or just a “hello”, this design is versatile, easy and sure to be appreciated.
If you’d like to see the process in action, be sure to watch the video where I show exactly how this card came together.
Until next time – stay inspired & keep creating!
