7/4/25 - Color Dare Challenge #659 & Darling Cardmakers (Kid's Birthday) - Poppin' By

Happy 4^th of July weekend!! Today I combined 2 challenges for this really cute card for the kids (Darling Cardmakers) and Color Dare Challenge #657 (Red/White/Blue/Black). I used DSP from Mediterranean Blooms for the background and instead of yellow popcorn, I made them white, w/out the butters! The film strips are just too cute to use, with the black glasses and shoes! I hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge.

6/24/25 - Cardz 4 Guyz #375 Check/Plaid - Poppin' By Pocket Card

Happy Tuesday and welcome back to our challenge here at Cardz 4 Guyz and this week we are making Plaid/Check pattern cards! I saw a really cool and fun card that I decided to CASE it. The cardbase is just a quarter of a cardstock (8.5” x 11”) and created a pocket to hold a pull out note card. I pulled the colors from the DSP to create into a masculine card. I just adore this bundle – Poppin’ Up and the bucket to hold the popcorns doesn’t have to be the traidtional red. Did you see the shoes, ahhhh too cute!! I really like how this turned out and I hope you will join us at the challenge.
