Thank_You_CardWould you husband, son or brother send a card if it reflected his masculinity?  If so, Stampin' Up! has finally designed a greeting card kit for men!  Men can now easily make and send a handmade masculine greeting card!

 

The Stampin' Up! Dude, You're Welcome! Kit includes materials for 12 manly postcards.  There are four different stamps ranging in greetings.  What I particularly like about the manly kit is that stamps, and not stickers, are included.  If one of the stamps does not fit his personality or needs, he can use the stamp or stamps he wants for all of the cards.  You can easily see where a man would easily need thank you cards, for example.

 

Even the box for the kit does not challenge his masculinity.   No pretty flowers, hearts or swirly-girly things for the man willing to make his own cards.

 

Dude_Youre_Welcome_Box

 

The Dude, You're Welcome Kit was designed by men.   Who should know more than what a man would want than a man?  Although, you might agree that sometimes we know them better than they do themselves. 

 

For_Men_By_Men

 

Had not paid attention to this before, but look, the stamps come mounted!  That is definitely a first with Stampin' Up!  Guess the men on the design team the most likely way to get them to use the stamps was to make it as easy as possible for them.  They have removed the possible excuse of "I don't know how to mount the stamps." 

 

Opening_Kit

 

The postcards come in a variety of neutral, manly colors.   You won't find any baby pink or baby blue colors for the man man enough to stamp his own cards.  Instead, the kit includes a full-size Basic Gray Classic Stampin' Pad.  Expect that you will probably have to show him how to open it.   Teach him right away so that obstacle is not an obstacle either.  If this reads a bit cynical in anyway, my research on excuses has been gathered over a 25 year period. 🙂

The Thank You stamp.

The I _______ YOU stamp.  Oh, just had an idea how this could turn funny if he made a birthday card for a brother or best budddy.

The Special Occasion stamp.

The Blankety Blank stamp.   Oh my, shutter to think of the reason for sending a card like that.

Another great feature of the Stampin' Up! Dude, You're Welcome Kit is in is not necessary, or even recommended, that he even try to stamp it straight.  Looks prefectly manly stamped at an angle and off-center. 

 

Imperfect

 

The kit also includes 12 light gray envelopes.  Those are not sold separately.  But, when he has used up all 12 postcards, you can easily create more for him by cutting  8-1/2" x 11" card stock into fours in Naturals White (would that not look great with the Basic Gray ink?!) or Whisper White.   He will still have the stamps and ink to use for many more cards.

 

You could use Vanilla Card Stock too.  Whatever card stock you choose, be sure to use envelopes in the same color.  Your man wants his cards to be manly but not uncoordinated.

Another option that would require no effort on your part would be to order for him a package of the Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes.  The cards are already cut and scored.  The price sure is right at only $5.95 for 20 cards with envelopes.

 

Order a Stampin' Up! Dude,  You're Welcome! Kits for all the men in your life in my online store now!   He'll stamp a thank you for you!  Tell him Shelly said so. 🙂

 

 

Finally, a greeting card kit designed for men from Stampin' Up!
