Masculine cards. Why do they sometimes feel so much harder to make?
I think a lot of us fall into the same trap of reaching for darker colours, geometric patterns or the same handful of themes whenever we need to create a card for the men in our lives. But masculine card making really doesn’t have to mean limiting your creativity.
That’s why I’m so excited to be part of the new Rugged & Refined – Masculine Cards with Character online class from Altenew Academy.
Creating Masculine Cards with Confidence

Throughout the class, we’ll be exploring different ways to create masculine cards that still feel interesting, stylish and full of character.
It’s about looking beyond the obvious and thinking about colour, texture, pattern and design in a slightly different way. You can still incorporate beautiful details and plenty of personality without a design feeling overly fussy.
I’ll be joining the teaching team for the class, and there’s also a bonus live session, giving you even more inspiration and an opportunity to create along with us.
Whether masculine cards are something you actively avoid or you’re simply looking for some fresh ideas to add to your card making, I think there’s going to be plenty in this class to get you thinking differently.

I’d love to know as well — do you find masculine cards more difficult to create, or are they actually something you really enjoy making?
I’m looking forward to sharing more from the class with you soon.
