Masculine Cards Workshop 2015

Last month, I had a workshop and my favorite ladies got to create masculine card for Father's Day, Birthday or whatever.  I would like to share what we did.  First off, I wish to give credit to some very talented consultants who were the creators of some of the cards.  The card entitled "Pull My Finger" was a creation by Nikka Gears that I cased almost exactly.  I grew up as the only girl amongst brother's so you can see how I would think this was such a perfect guy card.  What a hoot!  Next, the men's suit jacket was created by Jan Schmidt (and she has wonderful instructions on her blog for this card).  The third card that I would like to give to credit to is for the World's Greatest Day card I found on Pinterest but alas I could not find the author of this work.

All of the cards are standard size cards.  I like cards that can go through the mail fairly easily so I tend to stick to standard size cards:
