After counting the votes for my new "challenge" it seems that Manly Cards won. This is gonna be a real challenge for me, since it's hard to make a manly card with flowers on it!!

I've been tossing this idea around in my head about drink recipes and cards... when I was REALLY into fiber arts - knitting & crocheting - my friend and I talked about designing patterns named after mixed drinks. It never happenend, but it got me thinking about the concept with cardmaking.

Since St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner I thought a nice Irish card would be perfect - this one is for my dh - he (we) love Guiness beer - and 2 of the recipes here use Guiness. I also added an Irish Coffee recipe so I could use the Latte set to embellish. The card measures 6.25" x 3.25" (yes another one for the business envelope), and the front has a pocket to hold the recipes - I covered the pocket with Basic Grey paper from Scarlett's Letter pack. I stamped St. Patrick's Day with Karen Foster Snap Stamps, and "Let's Party" is from Mike's $1 bin. The recipe cards measure 5.5" x 1.5" - they were just printed out on the computer. The recipes came from Webtender - it's such a cool site!

I really like the manly card thingy. I like the recipes also. Hum.....may have to go look up the site and try some....Thanks for giving me a new creative idea.
Just like the "Old Spice" commercial....."manly yes, but I like it too!". lol Which is exactly what I think of this card. Love the colors, added recipes and the size of the card. It definately pops. Can't wait to see what the next card will be.
Clever, clever, clever! This is so adorable!
Very cool! Great job!
