PTI Transformation Challenge

I always have trouble creating cards for the men in my life so when I saw this PTI Transformation Challenge.  I knew it was a perfect way to get  one done. 



This is the first card I made. I love that little PTI Envelope. This is an all occasion type of card. 

Here is my transformed card. I used PTI card stock and checked designer paper that I think is retired(good thing I bought lots of colors when it was on sale last year)  background paper. I stuffed the little envelope with a white piece of card stock embossed with a birthday embossing folder. The birds are from IO and the cat tails are Die Versions. This is a really quick and simple card.`

  2. I did see this challenge and was not sure how to do it. This is a great example of how to transform a card. No doubt about it, this is a fantastic masculine card.

  3. Kathy I absolutely LOVE this!! I liked the first card, but using the envelope on the front, and adding the cattails and bird is just GENIUS!! Plus I really like your colors, and the background paper is perfect. I think this is just spectacular, and a perfect masculine card!

  6. Two very different cards with the same theme. Love the first girly one and you certainly mastered the male card with the second one. It is such a fabulous one with the cattails and birds. Fabulous Kathy.

  10. The best advice I ever heard for making masculine cards is to take any feminine card you might make and simply change the elements to masculine. You sure showed how it works! Wow! I love both equally, but you know how I've got that nature bug in me. The yellow is sooooo pretty, too. My favorite color!
