Last week was Mo's birthday along with some other family members so we had a little party for all the birthday boys. Mo ended up with some gifts and so he needed some thank you notes. I decided to make up some quick notecards for him. I really like the flat postcard like notecards for thank yous. They have enough room for a proper thank you without feeling like you've got this tiny note in a huge card.
Whenever I need to make masculine cards, I always seem to reach for trees. I figure they are always a safe bet. I knew I wanted to use this tree from Cornish Heritage Farms. I like the shape and looks of it and I wanted to stamp it off the side just a bit. The tree is stamped with Momento rich cocoa ink.
The patterned paper strip at the top is from Papertrey Ink.
What I also like about these flat notecards is that I can make a bunch in a short period of time. You never know when you are going to need a notecard and you know me, I am a firm believer in mass production!
Here are some of the finished product all ready for Mo to write in.
Humid weather here has me wilting. I am in serious need of a tall glass of water! Hope your day is a good one.
perfect GUY cards! I always go for trees/nature -type images too when Im thinking up a guy card.. these are beautiful..and ideal for a guy...
TFS!

These are perfect for a guy! Funny...I always pick trees for men as well. The nature stuff is great...reminds me of camping...flannel shirts...smores...

That is a great tree image, and especially for masculine cards (when it's so hard to know what to do). I love the brown and the strip of PTI paper.

Oh those are great masculine cards for sure. I don't mass-produce generally speaking, but I did make a set of thank yous like this for each of the kids..so in this case, it's OK ;) Get that water and cool yourself down, girl!
