My Top Secret Exposed for MASCULINE cards

Masculine cards can be intimidating, but not if you check out this video! See how fun and simple they can be. Plus, I took on a double challenge of incorporating white space in all of these cards so I could collaborate with my dear friends Ardyth and Justine, who rock the white space. A double challenge? Let's do this!

It is always such a struggle to find good ideas for masculine cards. You nailed it sister!

[@inkhillrevival289]

So awesome, Laurel! Running theme through most of these cards is that bit of grungy texture mixed with the clean and simple white-such a great approach!

[@makua702]

I love your video! Thank you so much foe sharing masculine cards. This is something we don't see much of and it is the most challenging for me to come up with. Love your energy as well!

Hello, I just found you and I am so glad I did. Love, love your masculine cards, and just in time for Father's Day. I have to say that I am on my first bottle of Bearly Art Glue and love it too. I'm hooked and use only it. I had to pay $25.00 for 2 ounces (Toronto, Canada) so you know I have to love it to justify that crazy price. Thanks for all your great ideas.

[@allisonjames2923]

7:28 Lol. Those bits where you accidentally brushed away a bit too much embossing ink look like marks from fingertips clinging to the card. Kind of appropriate for the sentiment

[@melaniefisher8823]

Laurel, I told Ardyth I love these 3 videos and I'm glad you guys did them. I'm excited for the retreat!! IS there a glue video? I looked back on your videos but I can't find one with your going with the just the one glue and the one foam tape. Maybe I missed it?

[@LaurelBeard]

No dedicated glue video. I yap about it in a video when I first got it tho. It's really great.

Where did you get the buffalo die cut from? There was not a place to click for your supplies you used.

[@kristinagoodwin805]

Hey, Laurel! Barely Art has a silicone tip for the fine point!! Yay!! Nor needing to worry about my pin drying in the nozzle (don’t ask!) I saw Jennifer McGuire use it. Reasonably inexpensive (I think shipping costs more than the cap). Just thought you might like to know, as this glue has also become my one and only. Thanks for the video and ideas! Great cards and suggestions.

[@LaurelBeard]

Hi there! Yep, I know about that tip thing! I am too cheap to buy it. Hence the push pin with twine

[@michaleedwards4310]

Kristina what kind of glue is this she’s using? I do not see a supply list either.

[@kristinagoodwin805]

@@michaleedwards4310 Bearly Art Glue. I really like it! I can’t do the Art Glitter Glue because we get quite frigid in the winter, and the AGG can’t freeze. The Bearly Art Glue won’t freeze!

[@roxanneklinger3828]

I really love these masculine cards and revisited this video for inspiration. I know your reasons for loving the Catherine Pooler inks. But what about the Bearly art glue? Is is fast grab and is it as strong as some of the other glues? Why is this your exclusive glue now.

[@LaurelBeard]

It's the only glue I use. Its amazing, strong and goes on white but dries clear.

[@shadowguard3578]

Haha no it’s not a glue video but I need that glue! I recently bought a glue runner (or whatever it’s called) and I regret it. I find it difficult to align my backgrounds to the card base and once I’ve stuck the background down I can’t move it or take it off to make any corrections. I find myself becoming anxious trying to stick the panel to the card base. Great ideas for masculine cards. Thanks!

[@LaurelBeard]

lololol!

[@Dotalina33]

Thank you thank you! I love these cards. Why are most of so afraid of the simple cards like it’s not a real card if it’s quick and easy to make????

[@allisonjames2923]

I’ve watched a few cards made with strips recently. It’s interesting how none of you line up your strips to one edge of the card to optimise the size of your offcuts 🤔 Even one person who was re-using almost all offcuts to make new cards

[@christineking8860]

hi there. so refrwshing to watch a video that actually shows " how to" and not a life history with 5 mins of card making. i usually fast forward to 3rd way through for info but not this one. ive no dye cutter but you gave alternatives. thats much needed. i used a paper doilie inststed. Opend up may idears. Iv also kept those strips too but never found a way to use them without them looking like ive just plonked them down. Sons dogs birthday soon... me things im gonna steel your idea LOL... So from lady in England... many thanks.

[@bevp7838]

You said “mandala” but I was thinking “doily”.... which has me wondering... is there any significant difference, and how do I know?

[@LaurelBeard]

HAHAHAHA, I have no idea. I just referred to the die name... A doily and Mandala look similar to me, except a doily might be more intricate...
