New Challenge @ Cardz 4 Guyz #C4G388

 


Today begins a new challenge at...

Cardz 4 Guyz // #C4G388 ...A masculine challenge with a theme!!  The theme for this current challenge is SUMMER!!  I used Stampin Up's Relaxing Waterside die for creating my SUMMER themed card.  Sailboats and Summers go hand in hand.


Now it is your turn!!  When you think of guys and summer, what comes to  your mind??  And...what stamps, dies, or embossing folders do you have to create a card fitting our challenge??  Hop on over to our blog for all the details for this new challenge and for inspiration from the rest of the design team.

4 additional challenges inspired today's card...

Allsorts // #AC854 ...An "anything goes" challenge with an optional theme.  The optional theme for this current challenge is BY THE SEA!!  Sailboats are found BY THE SEA!!  Stampin Up's Relaxing Waterside die works perfectly for also playing along with this challenge.


Time Out Challenge // #TOC317 ...A theme challenge!!  WATER is the theme for this current challenge.  Sailboat need a body of water...Sailboats, Seas, and Summer.

A Cut Above // JUL2026 ...A monthly die cut challenge!!  This sailboat die from Stampin Up has endless possibilities.  I love that it is in a circle and that it gives space of stamping and stenciling to fill in the background.


Just Add Ink // #JAI790 ...A "just add" challenge!!  For this current challenge we are just adding DIE and/or STENCIL!!  I used both...a sun ray stencil from Funky Fossil and a sailboat die from Stampin Up.


UPDATE:  This card was a winner over at the CUT ABOVE challenge!!  Thanks for the prize from A Cherry On Top!!


Never Before Used // #NBUS88 ...

The NBUS blog doesn't give challenges but offers a great place to show off those items that have "never been used"...whether they are brand new or items that you have had for a while but haven't gotten around to using.  Today I am using one of Stampin Up's dies for the very first time...Relaxing Waterside.

    Your card is lovely. Mostly black with just hints of colour gives great effect. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink.
