Day 2 – 7 Days, 7 Cards – Just for Him Series!

G’Day Friends,

Welcome to Day 2 of our 7 Days, 7 Cards – Just for Him series!  Today’s theme is Nature-Inspired, celebrating the great outdoors with earthy tones, leafy textures and woodgrain details.  This design is perfect for Father’s Day, birthdays or just because – especially for the men who love nature.

Why Nature-Inspired?

Nature never goes out of style.  By using organic textures and warm, earthy colours, you can create masculine cards that feel both grounded and heartfelt.  From leafy patterns to rustic twine, this design is simple yet full of charm.  This layout just happens to be one of my favourites.

  • Patterned paper with leaves, woodgrain or nature prints – Paper Rose Studio Lakeside Memories 6 x 6 Paper Collection
  • Green and brown cardstock scraps – Old Olive & Very Vanilla Cardstock
  • Adhesive – Liquid Glue, Dimensional Tape
  • Sentiment stamp or printed greeting – Gina K Designs Birthday Wishes

Day 2 – Nature Inspsired

Final Thoughts

The Nature-Inspired card is a heartfelt, masculine design that’s quick to make and easy to customize.  With earthy tones and organic textures, it’s a versatile card idea that works for so many occasions.

Stay tuned for Day 3 – Geometric Vibes, where we’ll add sharp shapes and modern patterns to our masculine cardmaking series!

Until tomorrow – stay inspired & keep creating!
