My nephew celebrated his 21st birthday recently and this is the card I made for him.
The denim paper is from Crate Paper. Denim is always good for male cards I think. The playing cards are from Kaisercraft Miss Match Collector. The poker chips are computer generated.
The digi stamp is from Tickled Pink Stamps “20’s Lad Luca”.
Here is a close up of Luca. He’s pretty cool isn’t he. I still really struggle with male cards but I think this stamp suits a young man’s style.
I think that I’ll probably be missing quite a bit over the next couple of “Olympic” weeks. Love to watch all the action on TV but for us here in Australia we have to watch late at night/very early morning. Being sleep deprived probably won’t help me create anything that I would want to share – in fact apart from that I’m in the card doldrums at the moment anyway. I do have a friend’s birthday in about 1 week so that might inspire me to make something which I can show you. I’ll try to post something for you to keep your interest.
Bye for now,

Hi Lorraine. I think the card was very appropriate if it was for who I think it was. Very trendy. sil Gailxxx

Hi Lorraine, that is a really nice card. I think we all struggle with male cards. Thankfully for me, a number of my male friends and relatives are railway fanatics, so that at least gives me somewhere to start with a card design! Enjoy the Olympics 🙂 Julie
