Card Ideas For Men

Pop-Up Cards

These cards are a good idea to make for a birthday or a wedding anniversary.

How To Make It

Cut a colored card into a rectangular shape.
Mark off the card in the middle and fold it in half.
With a pencil, mark two points on either side of the midpoint. Make small cuts and form a flap by pulling the cut portion inside the card.
Create a picture or a drawing, which you intend, should pop up when the person opens the card.
Stick the pop-up image on the lower portion of the flap.

Embroidered Cards

These cards could be one of the best ideas you could come up with when making a card for a man.

How To Make It

Get a sewing needle, embroidery floss and a heavy card stock.
Fold the card stock towards the back, and make holes a little distance away from the outline of the fold.
Thread the needle with the embroidery floss and begin threading the holes that you have made on the card in such a way that there is a loop created on the paper similar to a backstitch.
Switch colors as needed. Once you have finished, do not clip the thread. Rather, let it hang from the sides like tassels.

Cards With Pencil Shavings

This is the easiest way in which you can make handmade cards for men.

How To Make It

Sharpen a pencil and collect the long and unbroken pencil shavings.
Cut a colored card into a rectangular shape and fold it in half.
Trace a picture or design on to the card.
Glue the pencil shavings on to the card over the traced design into the shape of your choice.

Cards With Crayons

How To Make It
