Need “Guy Cards”? Try These 4 Easy Card Ideas (Plus a Fun Fold!)

Need more masculine card ideas that still feel stylish and handmade? In this live, we’re making 4 cards with one bundle (including a super fun Panel Z-Fold) using the Nature Symphony Bundle—plus simple layout tips, paper-tear texture, and embellishment inspo you can recreate fast.

In this live cardmaking session, we’re creating four handmade cards using the Nature Symphony Bundle—leaning into earthy, masculine-friendly designs while keeping everything beginner-friendly and totally doable.

Here’s what you’ll see in today’s tutorial:
Card 1: A layered, textured layout featuring a paper tear technique on Designer Series Paper (DSP) for that vintage-meets-modern look. Nancy shares how to tear just enough to show the white core and why it adds so much depth without extra work.

Card 2: A clean geometric card front with angled DSP pieces and bold layering. We talk through “building on the card base” vs. assembling layers first (and why crafting brains do it differently depending on the day).

Card 3: The star of the show—an interactive Panel Z-Fold card! Kayla walks through the scoring, the panel placement trick (with a Post-it note hack so you don’t glue the wrong section), and how to keep the pattern flowing inside the card.

Card 4: A crisp “To a Great Guy” card with subtle texture from the Exposed Brick embossing folder, plus die-cut layers using Textured Notes + Spotlight on Nature elements for an easy, elevated finish.

Along the way, we also chat about:
Craft room (and craft space) organization—because we’re real people and the mess happens
Juicy ink pad problems (and how to stamp small photopolymer sentiments without warping them)
Smart prep tips like die-cutting basic shapes ahead of time to make cardmaking faster
Our $50 order Card Kit offer: get the pre-cut supplies mailed to you so you can just sit down and craft
How to grab the written tutorial if you prefer to cut your own supplies
