Steph: I have used blue card stock with white dotty embossed card. Lili of the Valley 'Dads The Word' stamp with blue ink and coloured with ProMarkers, Added blue Candi and blue organza ribbon to finish.

Josie:I really struggle with cards for men! But with Lili of the Valley stamps and toppers it's really easy! I used my new Lili of the Valley Happy Times stamp. Coloured with Pro markers and backed on to some lovely Basic Grey paper. If my brother is lucky he may get this card!

Stephanie-Emma:  I've also used a Lili of the Valley stamp which I have coloured with Aquamarkers.  I stamped the letters and coloured them blue before using glitter film over the whole rectangle of silver card to make it extra sparkly (the sparkle doesn't photograph well).  I needed the word to be the main focus of the card as my Grandad is almost blind so need him to be able to read it!! Finished it off with a piece of paper punched with Martha Stewart punch, some ribbon, candies and nesties.

Jacqui H: well this had to be the daddy of cool, Mr Frank Sinatra. I used a blue card blank and cut the corner off the right side of the front and approx one inch off the front so the back peeps through. I made an insert using a marble vellum. Using Music Score vellum as the backing paper and mounting the image from KanBan on the front. I cut a co-ordinating panel and used this for the base of my greeting sentiment and added this to the insert so it was viewable from outside.

Jacqui M: I used my little Super Hero digi stamp for this card. I then did some matting and layering with blue and black cardstock, and some gingham dp. I used the smallest star nestie and wrote the letters dad on them. The self adhesive gems were coloured with a permanent marker pen and the image was coloured with the trusty Promarkers.

Helen: Last week I was asked to make birthday cards for a customer's two grandsons. Having made their birthday and Christmas cards for the past three years, I have a good idea of what they both like now, and knowing that Bryce loves football, I thought this Lili of the Valley 'Football Crazy' stamp would fit the bill perfectly. Luckily for me, it also coincided with the theme for our second challenge!

I've used Promarkers to colour in the image in our local football team's strip, and die-cut it using a Nellie's Multi Frame, then mounted onto papers and card from my stash. The football has been highlighted with Glossy Accents and I've used a Martha Stewart punch on the yellow card, and Papermania Kraft cardstock as a base. The Happy Birthday sentiment is from Papermania's It's A Man's World clear stamp set.

(We are very relaxed here at GG towers, but please make sure you have a peek at the rules!)
