Hello, Ribbon Lovers! Do you struggle to find a way to use ribbon on a masculine card? When I do, I look for textures and fabrics that make me think of men's ties and suit coats. So for this slightly snarky birthday card, I chose to work with Shell Grey Shimmer Satin on the bow. Top the bow with a grey button and a little birthday charm for the perfect finishing touch.
You can also layer a patterned ribbon, like this Black and Grey Diamond Print Grosgrain Ribbon over the same shimmer satin to create a stunning border treatment. Simply place a layer of 1/2" Scor-Tape on the card base, then wrap the ends around to the back side of the card panel for a neat and tidy finish. Follow the same process with the Diamond Print grosgrain, but use 1/4" Scor-Tape this time. Top with a trio of the same grey buttons. This look makes me think of a man's French cuff. It's very chic!
Here's a peek at the inside of this fun masculine birthday card. Clean and simple works just fine here.
I hope I've shared some tips and tricks that will help you make your next masculine card with ribbon!
Thanks for stopping by!
Cheerio,

I love this. We were just talking the other day and saying that Common Sense is no longer common. Ugh! Great card. [Bunny]`
