Masculine Cards? A Foolproof Formula for Personal Clean and Simple Cards [2024/03]

[@CanadianQueenmagenta]

I've been making cards since the early 90s. The most exciting thing for me is to learn new things and you certainly deliver on that! The wave template is genius. I am so enjoying your channel. Thank you. Jan

[@nbcascards]

Oh thank you, Jan. That's lovely to here. Glad to have you with me. x

[@simonesmucker525]

So thoughtful! I always benefit from your videos.

[@nbcascards]

Thank you!😃❤️

[@MargueriteAtHome]

Very helpful and such meaningful cards! THAT is the joy in card making-making sure the recipient can tell the card was made especially for him or her. Thank you for all the great prompts too! 😊

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! I agree - a big part of the joy of handmade cards, is making them specifically tailored for the recipient. x

Wow! Incredible ideas, The list you showed is well worth keeping, it expanded the few thoughts I normally think of. Loved how you used them in putting together three fabulous cards. Thank you for a very informative video, take care.

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Elizabeth! Glad you found it informative. :)

[@ramonalee1]

Oh my goodness! So beautiful and creative. I just found you and have watched several of your videos today and of course subscribed. Not only are you very creative but you explain so clearly and your voice is nice. You are now one of my top 3 favorite card makers on KZbin.

You're very welcome, Robin! Thanks for watching. x

[@kathyreed6841]

Great video, it was good to see your thought process in making the cards and not going with the obvious images, just an essence.

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it. x

[@janetlunn9502]

My goodness you are so talented. Every video I watch is something I haven't thought of before and completely different. I haven't long found you so I have a lot of videos to work my way through!! Thank you so much ❤

[@nbcascards]

Thank you so much! My pleasure. x

[@dawnmulder3540]

Thank you for sharing your thought process! The cards turned out great!

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Dawn! Glad you liked them. x

[@reneeallen1118]

Watching you make these cards was fun but I’m sure not as fun as making them. Thanks so much!!

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much, Renee! Glad you found the video fun. :)

[@isabellebaudin5240]

Thank you for the inspiration. Your cards are awesome.

[@valeriarae581]

I find the text on the screen to be very distracting.

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much, Isabelle! x

[@nbcascards]

Hi @valeriarae581, I generally don't add any text to my videos. Maybe you have subtitles (cc) switched on by accident. x

[@allisonjames2923]

The cards are great! I especially love that cricket one. Although a bat resting against some stumps would have been the perfect touch for the higher set one. And perhaps a stray confused seagull, since there always seem to be seagulls wandering around the cricket pitch, no matter how far from the sea you are 🤷‍♀️

[@nbcascards]

Great idea!

[@charlottehutcheson740]

Your masculine cards are so clever and unique…thank you for sharing your talent…and happy new year from Austin, Texas!!

[@nbcascards]

Thank you so much, Charlotte! Happy new year to you too. x

[@anniefaint6373]

Lovely men cards ,,,xxx

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! x

[@nathalieheath5693]

Love love love!!

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Nathalie! x

[@sharonedwards777]

Love these cards and the video Natalie. I’d be nervous of getting those Nuvo drops in the right place!

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Sharon! I know what you mean - it always feels like a risk, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. :)

[@carlabundy563]

Thanks for this video! These cards are so pretty! Where can I get the mat with the card/envelope sizes? I can see that having that to lay the card on would be very helpful!

[@nbcascards]

Thanks! This is the mat: amzn.eu/d/6p2rk2U

[@lynettelemon9274]

What a great selection of male cards. Your comment about using a geli plate to transfer the ink to the brayer got me thinking ... would I be able to use my geli plate instead of a grip mat when ink blending? If so, this would be a great use for my sadly neglected geli plate lol. Would love to hear your thoughts.

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Lynette! I think a geli plate might work. The only way to find out is to give it a go. Let me know how you get on! :)

[@smaragden15]

Did you have The list som place? I whont too write it out. (sorry bad on english)

[@nbcascards]

Click on the link in the video description. :)

[@smaragden15]

I can't find it 😢

[@raenellepearson405]

May I ask where you got your stitching stamps?

[@nbcascards]

It's this one: shopellesstudio.com/products/home-sewn-stitches-stamp :)

[@christinabotha5652]

I'm facing an order for a car enthusiast and the whole family to sign/message and it'll have to be a A4 folded in half - don't know the size in card terms - don't have any vehicle dies or cardstock for that matter - no idea how to tackle the problem - still thinking about it🙄

[@nbcascards]

Sounds tricky! Perhaps you could ask a few questions about what kind of car the person has, or what car-related jokes they might find funny. If you google 'card enthusiast cards' or 'car lover card' you might find some ideas. Not sure what country you're in, but if you go to scrapbook.com and search for 'car' you'll find some papers and stamps etc which might give you a few ideas. Hope that helps. x

[@katherinevegaleon4721]

You may use digital stamps, and die cuts
