Saveapenny - thinking about it I think that's where I got mine from when they were having the sale?????????? I bought 2 of the aperture cards to go with the decoupage, I always struggle when it comes to men's cards so I thought they would be great. Did you get the one of the man on the toilet????????

The cards you all make are fab.

Since making my wedding invitations last year, I have been bitten by the bug and am now making various birthday cards, but struggle to find anything suitable for making cards for men. Can anyone recommend websites or shops to find toppers/ideas that are suitable because I have been struggling to find anything in my local shops. Went to a hobby craft recently but they didn't have very much.

Thanks

CT19720 - I am exactly the same, I find I always have loads of cards made for women, but never any for men. I have used a range by Buzzcraft before and I made some really nice cards with them. They do decoupage sheets, waterfall card sheets and matching backing papers for men. Here's a link,

the shop also sells loads of decoupage, quite a bit of it for men:

they are having a 10 - 30% sale at the minute, free postage over 15.00

Will you behave yourself and go and make your Christmas cards!



Here's my effort for the challenge. I used a muffin case and an old pink file divider to make the cupcake and decorated it with sugar strands and a sugar flower from the baking cupboard. It's for my daughter in uni as I try to send her a parcel from home most weeks and usually pop a card in too.
