Hello friends! It can be so hard to find a nice paper collection that works well for masculine cards that aren’t little kid looking. Paper Rose has a great collection called Industrial that is perfect for masculine cards. Or for anyone that really likes that industrial look. I used several Paper Rose sentiment cut apart packs and sentiment dies for my cards.
I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one paper pad to make 42 cards.
Since I wasn’t planning on finishing off the paper pack, I didn’t photograph or keep track of the solid colored cardstock used. Black was definitely a popular choice though.
Here are close up pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. All of my cards are A2 size. For sketches that don’t include measurements, I simply figure the measurements out on my own, for what works for me. Go HERE to see my video explaining how I determine card sketch measurements. All cards are made using Paper Rose Industrial paper collection.

That is definitely a unique paper pad and I sure admire you for going right in and tackling it. You did an amazing job with a style that is not your usual one. I wasn’t sure I would like the cards because of how dark and grungy the papers look(which isn’t a personal preference), but I find I like them a lot. You’ve showcased the papers so well. Terrific work, my friend! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you so much, Jeanne! It’s so hard to find a masculine collection that isn’t for little boys. Even with all the dark colors and designs, I really enjoyed making all of the cards.
