I needed a masculine card for my brother-in-law and was inspired by the design in a home interiors catalog (below). It immediately triggered images of Circle Circus, the foundation (along with Stampin' Up!'s Circle Punches) for the card. Need more "manly" ideas? Check out my Masculine Card Gallery!
Old Olive, Basic Gray, Basic Black and Whisper White are clean and crisp when combined for this masculine card.- You can't go wrong with simple shapes and minimal accents. Three Silver Brads are all the hardware needed to add a little jazz.
- I had a delightful time layering and punching the Circle Circus images with different sized Circle Punches.
- Stampin' Dimensionals add a touch of 3-D and enhance the geometry.
- Card base is 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".

Oh my favorite stamp set and I don’t use it… *smile* I so love this card, the layout and the colors are fabulous together. Hugs,
I’m horrible at masculine cards and yours turned out amazing…thanks for inspiring!
Great card as usual Mary! I love the clean crisp look that you always capture. Colours are very manly and nice to see the circle circus being used this way. It isn’t an easy set to make the most of, well I find that anyway. So great work and thanks for some inspiration.
What a great interpretation of the photo! Those circles are awesome!
Wow, Mary, you do talented work. I love how you are now showing us what inspires you.
Awesome masculine card.
I love the graphic bold look.
I love it!!!! I always have a hard time making masculine cards and this is a perfect one!!!
Love the card, Mary. Isn’t it fun to transfer interior design elements to a 4 1/4″ x % 1/2″ canvas! And of course I love the monochromatic theme.
