Happy Wednesday!! I hope you are having a fabulous week!! I will announce the highest bid of the Blogs 4 Boobies Blog Hop at the end of this post!! But first, it's time for a new challenge at Scrapy Land and the theme this week is Masculine, plus a brand of die that Scrapy Land carries...there are over 40 to choose from!!
It seems I've been making so many masculine cards lately, which means no flowers and ribbons and bling :) And I have to apologize for some of the pictures...it's so hard to photograph the shiny aluminum.
For the background, I adhered aluminum tape to heavyweight cardstock and embossed it with Tim Holtz embossing folders. A Taylored Expressions Banner Stacklets 1 die was added next.
On the Impression Obsession Happy Birthday die, I covered it with Hammered Metal Embossing Powder from Emerald Creek. I love this stuff...it's think and really does look like metal!!
I also covered the Impression Obsession Classic Truck with it as well. I finished the cards off with a Taylored Expression Banner Stacklets 1 die...I cut it halfway and then flipped the die over to cut the fishtail on both ends.
Now it's your turn!! Head on over to Scrapy Land to see the amazing projects my design team sisters have created for today's challenge!! Then link up your project using a brand of die that Scrapy Land carries!! I can't wait to see what you create :)
And now to announce the winner of the card and matching gift box I had up for auction!! Thank you all again for stopping by and supporting the Blog 4 Boobies Blog Hop!!

Komen Foundation on July 1, 2016. Once Heather notifies me of payment, I will get your card and gift box in the mail :) Thank you again for your generous support in helping to stamp out cancer!!

Very cool masculine birthday card. You always have such creative ideas when it comes to making your cards. I am starting to try other techniques since I have the time. I also need to build up my die collection. They are so much easier than using the machine. It sure is overwhelming when I go to Scrappy Land since they have too many choices!
Holy cow, you rock all the styles Lisa!! Masculine can tough for us shabby girls, but you seem to pull it off with ease and style! I just love the metallic pieces you used. The silver and copper really add something extra to the background when you emboss it like that, love it!! The trucks are wonderful and I adore the curved banner across the front! You never skip a beat my friend. Hope you have a lovely day. hugs :)
This is amazing. Wonderful masculine card.

OMG! Lisa these two cards are so awesome! I love the Hammered Metal embossing powder! It really does look like metal! I am going to have to get some of that for sure! The truck is perfect for a masculine card! Great Job!!
Fabulous guy cards, Lisa! there's not a style you can't carry off with finesse and an eye for detail! I love the metallics and dies you've used, and that embossing powder is first up on my Emerald Creek shopping list! You've used it wonderfully here, and now I know I need to get it in a large bottle! Great cards, my friend! Big hugs!
Love it!!! LOL, they wanted to put 60 candles on my cake it wouldn't fit so my daughter got a flair candle. Hugs, Lori m

Fabulous Masculine cards Lisa. The embossing folders work so well and the embossing powder on the sentiment and truck gives it such a rustic look. Great layout and the more candles sentiment is priceless. Great card, my friend.
No apologies necessary Lisa, the light just shows up how wonderful the backgrounds are. The sentiment on the second birthday card is brilliant and I love the treatment you gave to the trucks! Hugs, Anne xx

I do like embossing the foil tape, so much you can do with that stuff :)
I love how the letters turned out!!!
Two amazing masculine cards love the grungy feel to the first one and the metallic look of the second . The truck looks so vintage .
Fabulous masculine cards! Love the embossed aluminum tape. I've always wanted a classic truck like this (but with modern engine). This die would be a good substitute :-0)

These are wonderful Lisa! I love the aluminum tape and that embossing powder really does look metal! Great guy card! Hope you have a great day!! Hugs, Robin
These masculine cards are great. I love the black and silver. And of course a truck - what could be more manly? Have a great day.

This gives me a much needed idea for a Fathers Day card! Thanks muffin! That Emerald Creek EP does look like metal and it looks super thick-how awesome sauce! What a grand and shiny card you have made for both! The copper is my fave only because I like copper. Hehe! Fantabulous design and the simple layering is spot on with no frills for the guys. Wowzers! Hugz to you muffin! ~Niki
Oh, Lisa, what a super cool masculine design on both of your cards! That EP really looks like metal and it's on my wish list now! You can create in any style you want because you are a super creative lady! I love your masculine cards! Big hugs to you! Branka xx
to make men cards is not easy , I find , but this card has become really wonderful! to characterize the idea aluminum paper and to use as a background is really great , that's certainly for Christmas in gold ;-) Greetings Sylvia
Great cards for men Lisa, I compliment you on these as they are some how difficult to make...you sure make it all look easy.x..xx {aNNie}
I love come here .

Spectacular cards my friend! You say, you have a hard time with masculine cards....yeah, right! You nailed this!!!! I LOVE how you did the background and how cool is that hammered metal embossing powder...wow, those pieces are stunning or so cool! LOVE, love this my friend! I need to put that powder on my list!
I hear you about going to the stores and seeing Halloween and Christmas stuff out. Geeze, let us enjoy some summer please?! Crazy, but I do think some people actually start as soon as they see stuff out. I mean, I saw a lady go out of the store with some and couldn't believe my eyes! I try not to even think about it until after Halloween. Although...I really should start my cards since I am ALWAYS behind, lol!
Have a super day..it is beautiful here! 75 and sunny! YES!

Really cool card! LOVE the metallic look!
Fabulous cards Lisa.....great designs, love the metallic look, perfect for masculine cards. Have a wonderful week!
Congratulations to your sweet winner! Your metal tape covering looks splendid with the way you've used on this perfect guy card. The truck is just fabulous, and works terrific with the gears embossing. The photos look good to me, and although you don't have your lush ribbons and bling, you've still got some great layering, texture and loads of color & shimmer with the metallics. Wonderful cards, and this is a new EP I'll have to check into! TFS & Have a super week. Hugs
It is unusual to see you making masculine, rather than feminine cards but you've done a wonderful job again. I may have said this before but I really like the silver and black combination. The die cuts and embossing folders work together beautifully and the sentiment has such wonderful dimension. Crafty hugs, Sandra X
These are terrific cards Lisa, I love how you design. The texture and shine is perfect and I know it's hard to photograph shine but you did a great job!
Have a wonderful evening!
Shelly
Those are sooo COOL Lisa! LOVE the Metallic look on the cards! Perfectly Masculine, and you seem to have that style down girl! Awesome cards!
