Today I am sharing the cards I made for Father’s Day this year for the guys in my life. These tend to be the hardest cards for me to make. So although the day is long behind us, if you also find “guy cards” difficult to design, maybe you can get an idea or two from these to help you in the future.
These were for my two sons, both of which are great grillers!
Can you get away with rhinestones on a guy card?
This card was for my father-in-law:
Had fun with my Copics on this one!
And finally, this one was for my hubby:
We are currently living in a very small cabin on a very beautiful lake.
This just seemed so… us! lol
Happy Crafting!

Love your cute little cabin and what a nice view!
Your card always inspire me, and I always go to your blog for some ideas!
Thank you so much for sharing your talent, Susan!
Susan, I agree regarding masculine cards being difficult to make. Your cards really are the ultimate masculine card. Especially love the your lion card. What beautiful coloring, which looks like watercoloring. Great framing too. Your husband’s card is fabulous! Beautiful rustic scene.
Yes, guy cards are really challenging. I like them all but particularly the camper card. It will be a true keepsake to remind you of this particular summer.
You could have fooled me you have trouble making guy cards. These are great!
I do not like making guy cards…strains my brain…so I usually end up CASING lovelies like this! LOL
These are fabulous. Love the rhinestones and your colouring!
these are all great, love the different techniques and your cabin looks so peaceful and such a pretty area!
These are all so perfect for any guy! I seriously love the one for your husband tho. 🙂 Its great!
Super male cards Susan!

Thanks for sharing these, Susan! We all need guy card ideas, for sure. They’re just perfect! I especially love the lion. I got a kick out of your hubby’s card and I’ll bet he did, too. Your cabin on the lake looks like a dream!
Yes I would say you can get away with rhinestones on the guy card. hee hee Another set of fabulous guy cards!
