6/30/2025 - Make My Monday #255 Summer - Bee Mine with Triple Fun Fold Card

Welcome back to another Make My Monday and today we are making Summer theme card. We always see lots of bees in this natural center by us when we go hiking so I’ve decided to create a bee card for this challenge. As you can see, this is also a fun/unique fold card. I found a video from Patti Dolan for this Triple Fun Fold card and wanted to give it a try and also use up the Designer Series Paper I have for this suite. I love how this turned out and will be sending this to my SS and will probably make more of these for other challenges as well. Hope you can join us at the challenge and share your Summer card with us!

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.

6/20/25 - Color Dare Challenge $657 - Hearts & Kisses Sending Birthday Hugs

Todays’ card is a DT card with Color Dare #657. I am trying to not use floral images when creating card for color challenges, it’s hard for sure! I decided to use Cardstock/DSP for this challenge to see if it works. I used Shy Shamrock with Calypso Coral from SU for this. I colored the Walrus with Stampin’ Blends and the nose, heart and layering cardstock is Calypso Coral and the DSP layering and cardstock I used Green. I hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge.
