The Paper Players #725

Jan at The Paper Players has asked us to embrace and conquer our fear of masculine cards - you know it's a real thing.  It only took one look at their prompt to remind me of a die set I bought years ago and [as they were never cut apart] it was obvious I'd never used it!  That seldom happens around here, I promise.  It wasn't such an easy task to FIND it!


This is easily the most CAS card ever from me!


Another set from The Cat's Pajamas contains some really fun sentiments
one might not send to a gal pal - having said that, I have a few that this one
would be perfect for!


Thanks, Jan for the fun challenge!

LOL! This is perfect for Jan's challenge! Love his monocle, but his dashing little boutonniere is the best! Thanks for playing with us this week!

How fun, Michele! This is a very dashing fellow!

Fantastic! A cool card for a dapper fellow. I have this sentiment in a different set and I love it. Pretty sure I've sent it to girlfriends before. The font does a perfect job of carrying the swanky vibe to the inside.

Love the card and the sentiment. One of our very best friends who passed away several years ago, would have LOVED this card! He always had handle-bar mustache. Whenever I see one, I think of him.

Oh do I miss the Cat's Pajamas and I'm so glad you pulled out this delightful die set and sentiment, Michele! Your CAS card is so darling and you added the perfect little pop of color with the boutonniere! So glad you joined in this week at TPP!

Ok... I can't take the cuteness!! The flower for his invisible lapel is the best. Love this, Michele. WWCD!!

How has this gem been left to languish unused?!! Love the image and love the sentiment even more. This is a perfect CAS creation. Thank you for sharing it with us at The Paper Players.

Oh, Michele! This is the BEST clean and simple masculine card EVER! The derby hat, the monocle, and mustache are fabulous, but it is the little boutonniere that adds the perfect touch! Thank you for playing with The Paper Players this week!

Stephanie Lanzalotto said...
