  1. Oh, I really like both of these! That first one is great for a guy (I need that for my husband!) and love the red, white, and blue on the second card too.

  2. You did great with your wheel! I have not ever used mine either! Love both of your cards! I enjoy making guy cards ... maybe it's the challenge of trying to make something plain.

  3. Great cards. Love the tools. My grandpa was a carpenter, cards like these remind me of him. I sure miss him!! Thanks for the wonderful walk down memory lane.

  4. These are both great! I love the tool one, most of the guys I know fancy themselves a handyman (even if they aren't). The second one is wonderful, too. Very patriotic!

  5. I like them both. I'm always trying to find nice masculine cards. I finally unmounted all of wheels and use them on an acrylic block.

  7. Great job on the patterned background on the first card! The screw brads are a nice touch.

  8. Two great cards! I love the monochrome "manly" look on the first one and the fabulous embossing on the second. You should definitely break out those wheels more often!

  9. This sounds like a fun swap, for sure! I also have many wheels that have never seen ink...don't really know why. Both cards came out great! I especially like the fun accents you added to both to finish them off beautifully. Thanks for the inspiration today! :)

  12. They both look great! I love my wheel stamps, but I did unmount them. They are easier to use that way.

  16. For someone who doesn't use them often, you did a fabulous job with your wheels! I use mine on occasion for cards, but never on a scrapbook page...guess I'm worried it will be crooked since I like to 'free hand' my stamping! Two great cards for this swap!!
