Such an elegant and beautiful masculine card! Love that it could be used for either a woman or man. Lovely!
Terrific start to a new year of creativity. Thank you for sharing your abundant talents!
Great job. You should do more masculine cards because you are great at it.
Happy New Year,
Peggy Allen
Gorgeous card Becca! Love the greens and the bit of lace. That sentiment is just incredible!
Great sentiment for all of us to start the NEW Year! Beautiful colors as well as layers. Wonderful work as always.
I always need ideas for masculine cards. This is great!
Wonderful card…great color and layout…I can see this as a gender neutral card!
Another fabulous card! I love the sentiment and the grunge cross is great!
Oh Becca this is beautiful, as always! While I don’t think of you and grunge together…. you certainly have the style down to a tee and I love it!!! Happy New Year to you!!!
Hugs,
Grace
I love grunge, and this is just elegantly done. Sophisticated Grunge, leave it to Becca to figure out how to do that.
You’re in my prayers
Love this grunge cross and that Juniper you used….I think this works as a guy card….but you have still kept that ‘Becca’ style with it.
Beautiful as always Becca..it’s always such a treat to see what SB combos you’ve put together too…lol
I am a pearl girl, so love the pearls you used! Great card for either man or woman. tfs
You are so creative as usual, hope the year to come is blessed in abundance for you and your family. I pray this country will turn to God and be saved. May we all be and do and act the way He wants us to. Hugs… Denice
What a classy card! Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy looking at what you have created.
Being the first day of the New Year, how fitting for your sentiment to encourage us o never give up. I pray that I will hold fast to this word no matter what he cost this year.
Great looking card! Interesting how a bow, lace trim and some pearls normally used in feminine cards still make a great looking masculine card. I aso love the grunge cross!
Luv, luv the grunge look and design elements and color cobination in creating this card. Masculine cards can sometimes be as difficult as feminie and once again you have pulled off another favorite!
Bec, even your masculine cards are out of this world stunning! I really love the colors you used on this and your deets are amazing as usual! Praying for a very blessed year for you and your kids….a year filled with healing, peace, and love! HUGS! Angie
You are such an inspiration with your beautiful cards. The saying is a good one
I always love your cards, but today I also really needed to be reminded of the message. Thanks for sharing your talents.
Becca, I just don’t how you do it. The cards you make are always top notch. I love the the saying in this latest lone. I need to remember it more often.
What a lovely ard. I truly love that sentiment.
Lovely card, Becca! I really like that clean teal and white look!
Happy New Year!
I love green! The car is wonderful! Congratulations and Happy New Year!

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful card. I love the sentiment and color choices you made. Eva’ s trims are my favorite. Best of luck in the new year. You are also ver talented.and inspritional.
this is a beautiful card Becca-love these new sets
Is it proper to say a masculine card is beautiful?!? Love these new stamps with the grunge look. Your son will also love his card!
I really love this! The colors are beautiful and it WOULD be appropriate for a man or woman, too. Just great!
As always….BEAUTIFIL
Beautiful as usual. Love the pearls and lace.
Becca,
This is about the closest I have seen you do grunge type of stamping. I love your fancy stuff but would love to see more grunge ala Tim Holtz style from you. Your take on it excites me!
Beautiful card as always! I have never been disappointed with any of your cards!
Gosh this is odd Becca, I have only just left my crafting goal comment for you on your previous post and now I’ve come to your card for today and it says, ‘Never, never, never give up’. After reading my comment you will understand the irony for me. But, thank you, it seems it was meant just for me today.
This is a lovely card and so different. I could not, however, ever give it to one of my sons; they would look at me with a stupid grin and ask if I had forgotten who they were! I am not allowed to use ribbon, flowers, bling… well nothing they class as girly! But hey, I was blessed with a daughter also, so I can send it all her way. :)
All the best Linda
WONDERFUL! Love the colors and the textures. So many elements all working so well together ~ it’s beautiful.
Love this card and all of the elements in it. The sentiment is perfect. This needs to become my mantra!!
Great card – what a wonderful set! Love these colors and the tag!
This is gorgeous. Love this image and sentiment. All the pearls, ribbon and lace make this so beautiful.
Very pretty card. Love your colors.
Beautiful card! You always amaze me. I’m so glad I found your blog!
very nice Becca!! I think I don’t have any masculine card so this set will be great!!
Thank you and Be bless in this New Year!!
Very nice, quite the pretty & grunge combo. With the pearls, lace & bow this would be enjoyed by females too.
A gorgeous card. Love the new stamps.
Happy New Year.
Beautiful card. Love the colors, pearls, & lace. Everything accents the beautiful stamps used!
I LOVE this stamp!!! I love the grunge look and really love this card.
Becca, very beautiful and some what different for you! Really like it . Thank a you for sharing and inspiring.
Joanie
Stunning as always! Thanks for the beauty in this card.
Becca, I love the juniper ink that you used and, of course,, the Never Give Up stamp set is wonderful. I think your son – or any guy – would enjoy receiving this card..
Thank you so much for sharing with us.
hugs
Becca,
I showed this design to my husband and told him it was a guy card. He said “It’s all in the TOOLS!”
:)

Becca, your card is so beautiful! You are always such an awesome inspiration! Wishing you a blessed and Happy New Year! Hugs, Sarah
Loving the stamps already.
Great work Becca, I am relatively new to Grunge cards so enjoy seeing other peoples ideas. It is what my kids and their friends like in the way of cards, so I need to get into this trend.
I can’t wait until I can get this ordered. You did a beautiful job as always.
LOVE this–the colors are YUMMY!
i love the color ink that you used. it gives it such a different feel. sometimes i’m so stuck on b;lack i don’t use other colors for my base. i also like the lace and perls, so feminine.
Gorgeous!
Becca, I don’t know how masculine this card is, but I love it! I actually think it is quite gorgeous!
The parts of the design all fit so well together.
What a wonderful card.bow or not I think any man would like this card.
Beautiful work as usual.
A beautiful card and your son would be delighted I’m sure to receive it.
This is a wonderful stamp set. Can’t wait to be able to order it.
hugs
Your cards are always so gorgeous!
Such a pretty (cool) color combo. You always create great things, male or female. Thanks for sharing!
I truly love the ODBD stamps & really hope I’ll be the lucky winner this time.
There is always so much inspiration on these blog hops. Another lovely Becca card!
Another beautiful card, your work is always so elegant.
Beautiful. I love this cross.
craftymom205 at yahoo dot com
Becca, this is gorgeous! Love the colors and the large scallop border with pearls!
gorgeous card, Becca!!! I love those stamps!!!
I love this card! The sentiment is great & the image is really cool. Love the way it turned out.
It is a pretty card but I don’t think it is a masculine card.
I have to find some sentiment in French because yours with our Daily Bread match so well some reality and we don’t have this in French.
So for my second goal search French sentiment.
Merci beaucoup!
Francine
Love all the cards
Always a fun time when the hops come along. Love seeing all the cool ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful card Becca. I think your son would be very pleased to receive it. The sentiment is so spot on.
beautiful as usual, my husband or son would love it.
This card definitely says “Becca”! One of my goals for this upcoming year, as I mentioned yesterday, is to expand my supply of cards for the guys. Almost everything I have sold this past year has been purchased by ladies for gentlemen. The next goal is to catalogue all my stamps so I can see at the flip of a page what I have without having to rummage through all of them to find what might be appropriate for the card I have in mind.
Beautiful card, Becca! Almost everything I have sold this past year has been purchased by ladies for gentlemen. My second goal for this year is to catalogue all my stamps so I can see at the flip of a page what I have without having to rummage through all of them to find what might be appropriate for the card I have in mind.
As always, the extra details is what adds up to another awesome card! In true “Becca” style, it is a work of art!
Once again you took a little something and made it into a beautiful something! God bless!
An elegant card but I wouldn’t send it to a guy. My second crafting goal for the new year is to get and keep a head start. I need to have some cards– get well, sympathy, etc. done ahead of time so I’m not always caught short when something unexpected comes up. I also need to stop waiting until the last minute to make birthday and anniversary cards. I’m tired of the stress I cause myself by not being prepared. Procrastination serves no purpose!
As always, another beautiful card.
Perfect sentiment to start the new year, too!
Thanks so much for sharing!!
Wow, that is just head over heels gorgeous!!!
Another great card Becca. Always enjoy seeing your creations. Dianne
Once again Becca — a gorgeous card! I will definitely be looking at the ODB sets!
This is beautiful! It would be great for a “guy” card!
I ALWAYS have loved Becca’s cards, but this never give up stamp is perfect!
I absolutely love this quote! I may have to visit everyone on the hop :-)
Hugs, Antonella :-)
Such an appropriate message for so many occasions. Love the card!
Gorgeous card! love this set. The lace and pearls on the card is gorgeous with that bow!
What a wonderful card.
Holly Paulson
Beautiful card Becca.
Love it! Love the green.
Hey, beautiful cards you’ve done.
Greetings from snowy Finland.
Lovely as always. Not sure I would use the pearls, lace and bow for a masculine card, but I still love the card! Your creations are always so intricate and balanced. They all show your loving hand at work.
such unusual color and material combinations!
Love the colors and the saying is beautiful!
Another beautiful card. You used this stamp in such a pretty way.
I totally agree that this set makes a great masculine card or page, Becca – how perfect this is with the sentiment – that is usually the way the guys think when playing sports, but what a beautiful encouraging thought for someone who needs a lift! Hugs!
What a beautiful sentiment! Great card!
Love the card! it is so versatile – I could see this set used for so many occassions. The embellishments add so much – the lace, seam binding, pearls, and the brad. God’s Blessings!
Just Beautiful, I love this cross!
Becca, I just LOVE your work and your words of wisdom and kindness. Thanks so much for sharing with us!!
Thank you, again, for sharing your beautiful projects with us. The embellishments are stunning. I would not have thought to use the colors you used. Happy New Year!
