Yep! Another Man Card!!!

Hello crafty visitors.  Welcome to my blog.

Back again I am with another 'man' card.  Seems that's all I'm making at the mo (not really though) but when I'm on a roll, I've just got to keep going.  Do need lots of these during the year so it's all good.

This one was made with a mix of Maja and Kaisercraft papers.

I'm really liking the look of those tied down tags and so I've made a couple like that now.  Actually have a few more in the pipeline as well so you just may get sick of seeing these  but, as I said earlier, when I'm on a roll ....

 .. and flairs!!  Another fave at the mo.  Lizzy Hill got me started on these so, blame her, I do.  LOL!!  I actually found quite a lot of these in my stash.   I reckon I've had them for years and had totally forgotten about them.  Coming in handy now though.

 Metal cogs (always a fave of mine for 'man' cards) with a few prills (love those) and some washi tape (yep! Another fave at the mo.).

Attached a few  brads .. and more prills.

 Another flair .. a tiny one this time .. and, you guessed it, more prills.

 The usual on the inside ..

.. and the finished card!!

 

 I find with these double fold cards that you really need a closure if you want them to lay flat.  On the feminine ones I usually just wrap a ribbon around it.  It looks pretty and it certainly does the job.  For a 'man' card though, I find magnets are the way to go and I have found the perfect ones to use.  They are from Basic Grey and they are fabulous.  Slim and super strong they are perfect for cards and for mini albums too.  I have found that even with 3 or 4 layers of dp in between they still stick beautifully.  So, if you're looking for some decent magnets, get the Basic Grey ones .. I love them!! 

Well, that's it from me for now.  Thank you so much for dropping by and taking a look at my creations.  I hope I have inspired you in some small way.

Have a fabulous week!!

Take care and God Bless.
