Making cards for men can be a real headache.  My heart always sinks when I know that I have a male birthday coming up and I have to think of something that will go down well.  This also applies to Valentine’s Day and Father’s Day cards.  I love making cards but I have more fun creating whimsical, cutesy and/or feminine/shabby chic cards.
