With all the cute, feminine papercrafting supplies--floral prints, lots of bling, silk flowers, gorgeous trim--it’s easy to forget about the men in our lives. Well, it’s time to give them a little attention!
This beautiful (but masculine!) card is great for a son or husband who’s a car enthusiast; bring him cheer with this nostalgic celebration of the glory days of the early motorcar, picture paused on the open road winding through the countryside. I love the clever double-fold of the card, shaped like hillsides, and the vintage car image cut from paper. Your man doesn’t like cars? Don’t limit yourself! Anyone—male or female—with a passion for all things vintage would appreciate a card like this.

Spring just makes me think of beautiful blooms popping up and creating a sea of gorgeous color all around. So I’m excited to share this fabulous flower project from Tantalizing Textures by Trudy Sigurdson.
Clear scrapbook fames are an ideal canvas for creating dimensional wall art, and metallic leafing flakes are a perfect medium with which to embellish them. This particular flower frame is perfect for all sorts of layout themes, but you can adapt it using whatever shapes fit your theme and personality.
