Are you looking for a more masculine Valentine idea for your 'manly' man? I have a fun idea to share with you today - it is really easy to create and you man will love it especially if he loves hot-rods, choppers or loves to build things.
What makes this Valentine masculine? First, the colors chosen: Crushed Curry and Tranquil Tide. The neutral is Very Vanilla which adds an antique neutral feel.
The Geared Up Garage bundle and Classic Garage designer paper continue that masculine tone; don't you love the patterns in the designer paper?
And because this is a Valentine's Day card for your manly man, a new hearts are in order too, using the Be Mine Stitched framelits. If you want to order these products click on any of the product photos to link over to my online store.
And here's the masculine Valentine - what do you think? I think the phrase is super fun and your man will love it! Under the card photo is a list of ingredients and step-by-step instructions. Have fun!

- Very Vanilla : Scraps for hearts
- Silver Foil: Scraps for die cut
- DSP: 5” x 3 ¾”
Instructions:
- Start with die cutting your hearts. If you want to make them easy to adhere, I recommend using the adhesive sheets –put your cardstock on it and then cut. (I keep a container with cardstock that I’ve add the sheets to just for this purpose!) Cut out the ones in both Very Vanilla and Tranquil Tide. Choose the sizes you prefer (I used the 2 medium sized ones with the scallops –cut them out together with the smaller one inside the larger one to get the heart frame. For the green ones I used the 3 largest ones without the scallops).
- Die cut out the foil piece. (I also used the adhesive sheets on the back )
- Stamp the sentiment on the Very Vanilla solid stitched heart using Basic Gray ink.
- Attach the background hearts in whatever direction you choose by either removing the adhesive sheet backing or fine tip glue pen.
- Attach the heart with the sentiment using dimensionals.
- Attach the silver foil die cut on the top of the sentiment heart.
- Stamp the inside with either an anniversary or valentines sentiment. (If you prefer to add a sheet of very vanilla to the inside, cut a piece 5 ¼ x 4” and then stamp your sentiment)
