I love sending cards to everyone, but it’s easier for me to create for women (lots of flowers) and children (animals) than teenage boys and men. They are harder though cars and sports are a place to start. Sometimes even architecture or ocean scene are appreciated. But for a real masculine look, type your sentiment over stripes. Here is how to create the stripes.
Stripes
Open New document of 1 inch by 1 inch
Pull guide to ½” line to divide the area in 2 equal parts
Use Rectangular marquee to select an area of 1” by ½” and Fill with Black, gray or whatever color you want
Now Ctrl/Cmd D to deselect
Ctrl/Cmd A to select the whole area and Fill – Define Pattern – I called it Stripes
Now open New document for your card – ie. 5×7
Layer – New Fill Layer – Pattern (it will use the last pattern created)
You can adjust the width of stripes by the % dropdown
Fonts in this card – Arial for “Happy” and “Day” – Magnolia for “Father’s”
