Out of my pink comfort zone... or what??!!


Hi Bestest Blogging Buddies...

Yes... before you ask...  you are at Christine's blog....  you haven't got lost along the way, nor is blogger being a baddie and mis-directing your mouse...  it's ME!!  With very much an un-me card!! LOL

You probably all know that I don't normally do male cards... in fact when people ask me would I make one for their hubby/son/brother......  the answer is a swift NO!!!

But, needs must, as it's time for another challenge at Totally Gorjuss... and this time the theme is "For Your Men".  Soooooo  this is what I came up with!!  I got the idea from Pinterest a little while back - at the time I thought 'i have that punch!'....  and knew I wanted to try it out.  I chose the most male type colours in my cardstock pile....  it's pretty self explanatory really!  You just have to be careful to get the punch lined up on both sides of each piece.  I started off with 1.5 inch strips before punching... which gave me the right size.

Items used:

  • Martha Stewart Border Punch
  • Various blue cardstock
  • MFT Die-namics Fishtail Banner die
  • MFT Die-namics Star die
  • Paper Smooches Sentiment
So there you go... no pink, no glitter, no gems, and no image......  What's to become of me??!!  I don't know...... the things I do for my DT positions!!

This time we're sponsored by:


Why not pop over to Totally Gorjuss for more fabulous male card ideas from my lovely teamies..  and to see if you were a winner in our last challenge!

Take care all and have a good weekend..
Big hugs
