I have to admit that I love making Man-cards. I know many struggle with them, but I guess being the only female in my household has made it easier for me to design projects for the boys in my life. Here is a retirement card I did recently using the new Traveller stamp set:

Maculine retirement card featuring the Traveller, Work of Art and Really Good Greetings stamp sets. |
I started with a piece of Typeset specialty DSP which I mounted on a Basic Black mat and then adhered to a Lost Lagoon card base. On some scrap Very Vanilla card stock I stamped one of the brush stroke images from the Work of Art stamp set three times in Lost Lagoon ink. Then I stamped the globe, suitcase and camera images over top in black ink. I punched each one with the 1-3/4" circle punch and then matted each one with a 2" black circle.
The sentiment is stamped in black, cut into a pennant and embellished with some black twine from my stash as well as a silver button. I adhered it to the card with dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the brush stroke image in Lost Lagoon and the sentiment from the Any Many More stamp set in black over top. I thought it was the perfect sentiment for a retirement card!
Great manly card. Love it for a traveler too.
