One of my intentions this year is to limit the number of card-making challenges I read each week. I chose five to check each week, and here’s my interpretation of the CAS-ual Friday challenge to use brown paper and string. I need several birthday cards for men this month so this was a perfect combination.
The first card uses a sticker from Imaginisce that I knew I’d use either for cards or for a travel page in a scrapbook. I adhered it to a Hero Arts card, and stamped the banner and the sentiment from Papertrey Ink’s “Fly Away” sent, attaching them with some twine. The twine and Scarlet Jewel button are also from Papertrey Ink.
The next card is for my nephew’s 40th birthday this week.
This is a really CAS card that reads inside “looks good on you!” I die cut the numbers from MME’s “Fun Day” paper pack with Papertrey’s By the Number dies and layered them on the Mat Stack #3 die cut from a dark brown scrap in my scrap file. I inked the edges with the Tea Dye ink from Papertrey.
These are great for men,Karen.
I love both of these, but the second one in particular – very stylish. 🙂
Brown paper and string, Karen you make it fabulous!
Great cards. One of the things I’m letting go of in 2012 is card making and card making challenges. I”m sure i’ll come back to it later, but right now it’s not really calling to me and feels like a chore.

Both are FABULOUS!! Love the colors over kraft card stock! So glad that you play with us at CAS-ual Fridays! Please keep playing CAS Fridays challenges if you still enjoy it!
Oh, I like the kraft cardstock with the string look for cards for men, too.
Just catching up on some blog reading as we’ve returned from a 7-day cruise. Your JYC pages turned out lovely. Congrats on the sweet new baby!
Kraft always works for me! These are lovely.
You asked about the shapes on my layout today – yes they are cut with the Mistletoe Slice card
Perfect masculine cards, Karen! Works perfectly with the challenge! I’m trying to pare down my subscriptions, too, lol.
