A friend at work mentioned she wanted a card for her husband and of course I offered to make one! She just wanted a general card, no real purpose and she said he likes music, he plays the piano, and he likes food. So the wheels started turning for a design and I found this perfect quote online! Let me just say, making a card for a man is so much harder than for a woman! As my husband put it "guys don't give a sh** about cards, they just through them away after they read them". I guess that makes sense when you see that pretty much all cards are kind of girlie! So i finally came up with a dude design and at the very end decided to do a zig zag stitch on the edge. Big mistake, this paper is too thin for this! It kept ripping a little and the machine kept skipping stitches and jamming! I dejammed the machine probably four times and the worst part was the bottom but at that point I couldn't take it anymore. It was either throw the machine across the room or cover it up with ribbon. I chose option two thankfully. Finally got to use my Walnut Ink spray which was fun to use especially paired with my new Lettuce colored ink dabber.
Adam knows all about the difficulties in making man cards! Good work! I love the quote too!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how to make man cards. I'm just making cards with swears on them now for Tim. They just aren't fun to make. I like flowers.
