Another Masculine Card

Another totally masculine birthday card (remember, one of my New Year's resolutions are to make more guy cards!!).
I kept this one really, really clean and simple!! A Kraft base, some awesome masculine papers from BasicGrey (the bottom is Gorp and the brown is Brown Sugar, both from the Granola collection), a bit of hemp, and a very clean font sentiment. This particular font comes from the Birthday Basics set from Papertrey Ink. I love it for masculine cards because the lines are bold and strong, sans serif is more masculine looking if you ask me!!!
How are you doing with your stash of masculine cards??? Hey, a quiz for you.... does anyone out there know what Gorp is??? Hint - my son and I made some yesterday!!

Wow, that paper played tricks on my eyes! I thought you'd done some sort of half-fold thing with the bottom and then realized it was an optical illusion in the paper. Too cool!

Good Old Raisins & Peanuts is a staple for Boy Scout hikes! As Marty said above, the "recipe" doesn't stop at its name. Favorites for our son and his buddies included chocolate and peanut butter chips, M&Ms of all kinds, mini marshmallows, freeze dried banana slices, and coated nut clusters from cereals. It's a yummy energy source.
