House of Cards August Challenge, A Manly card with Man´s Tools and a Flower Happy Birthday Card

e="font-family: inherit;">










Another month another new monthly challenge at House of Cards, this time the theme is Metallics.



As you can read on this POST that I have now a Big Shot (yaayy happy me :)) I know it is late but it is new toy for me :)...is a real happiness to have this things :) also you can see all on this card was produced with that machine :)




I used embossing folder woodgrain and the dotted lattice. The Frame Polaroid is a DIES from Paper Smooches. The Man Tools is DIES from Memory Box. 





Here is the stamp I used for my sentiment. The Man´s tools was made from silver paper and red paper (I glued the red area on the top of the silver area). Last step I stamped the screws on the grey paper. (also no Design Paper on this card :))

  1. What a brilliant card Monika, I love the tools! If you get chance before Monday evening, I'd love it if you could join in with this week's Cardz 4 Guyz as I chose the theme this time and it is "T is for...." so Tools would fit perfectly!

  9. Isn't it fun to play with dies and embossing folders? Those tool dies I'm sure you're going to use lots as you love making male cards. And great idea to combine stamping AND embossing to make the background. It's a cool card!

  21. Two super cards, and what a brilliant take on the HOC Metallics Challenge - such a clever idea! I've been on holiday so am back and catching up with cardland. Thanks for your lovely comments. The 'Smile' die was a gift from a Card Chain Challenge friend so it isn't one I own. I think its from Simon Says Stamp... So sadly not one I think I'll ever buy. Now I'm back from my holiday I'll be sending a little package to Germany for my sweet friend, Monika! Hugs to you, Jo x
