Welcome to the April PTI Blog Hop!
This month's blog hop is dedicated to all the boys and men in our lives! Now's your chance to create Father's Day projects, boy birthday cards and more to build up your stash! Focus on masculine color schemes, fresh pattern combinations, understated embellishments and unique uses of images you may already have in your stash!
For this blog hop I kept it super, super, super simple. I literally had just a few minutes to put a card together and get it ready for this blog hop, so simple was the way to go!
Star Prints is a great set for masculine cards!! I paired that with the Boy Basics: Simple Circles set stamped on the Simple Circles Border die.
The stars are popped up for dimension, the twine and impression plate were added for texture.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to visit the rest of the posts in the blog hop listed on Nichole's blog!
