Father’s Day (Masculine) Theme Challenge #70

This week at Hand Stamped Sentiments it’s about celebrating Dad or the special guy in your life.  I know! I know! I can hear some grumbles out there because these type of projects can be difficult to create! No worries!  We’re here to inspire and to give you a few tips on how to create a masculine card.  Although the Design Team uses Stampin' Up! products, please use any brand you have on-hand. We’re here to inspire and have fun!

Sometimes taking a feminine card you like and making a few changes you can transform it into something more manly.

• Switch the focal point.  For example change a flower to a mode of transportation (like a truck, motor cycle, car or plane, etc.)
• Switch the sentiment.  By selecting a  less feminine sentiment you can transform you project. 
• Switch the accents,  Using twine instead of ribbon, map not flowers or use staples not rhinestones. 

Rules and Deets:

• You may use ANY BRAND of products to create your project.
• Use keyword HSSMT when uploading to public galleries.
• We would appreciate a link back to our HSS site.
• Incorrect links are not eligible and will be deleted.
• INLINKZ will close at noon (CST) Monday, June 13th
