7/12/2022 - Cardz 4 Guyz #300 - Congratulation - You Did It, Congrats!

Welcome back to another week of challenge here at Cardz 4 Guyz and today we are celebrating #300 with a Congratulations card! I used some masculine DSP and punch out 2 circles with the punches and the middle piece is a die cut pop up from He’s the Man DSP. I added some interests with the gold ribbon tucked behind the main image. Of course I can’t create a card without a CONGRATS sentiment! I hope you enjoyed this card today and be sure to join us at the challenge.

7/11/2022 - TGIF Challenge / The Paper Player - You are wonderful

Happy Monday! Hunter is thrilled because Ah-Ma is coming tomorrow to Chicagoland! Today’s card is using The Paper Players (Color Challenge) and TGIF (Sketch) challenge. I am never good at color challenges so once in a great way I would challenge myself to see what I can come up with and this is the card! Instead of using Circles like the sketch, I used Sunflowers and leaves to represent the sketch. Of course it is rare that Sunflowers are blue but hey, it still does look pretty, right?! I hope you enjoyed the card today and always challenge yourself to think outside of the box!

Happy Friday, so happy that this is a short week! Today’s card is using Tic Tac Toe Challenge and Fusion. I continue the theme from yesterday making a masculine tree card. I always love a  good sketch and this one has so may possibilities! I also used the Mask Pattern on the blue piece of DSP.

Today’s masculine card is using the Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge and I turned it into a birthday day for my cousin in Taiwan! I used 3 strips of DSP (1 ¼” x 4 1/2”) and then just stamped the simple tree image using the colors from the DSP. I finished the card with a bday related sentiment and I think my cousin would really enjoy this card.
