Cardz 4 Guyz // #C4G342 ...A masculine theme challenge!! The theme for this new challenge...Namesake Day!! Use a letter from your name!! I used my "return address stamp" with a big H (H is for Horst which is our last name) at the center to make a birthday card for my husband who has a birthday on Wednesday. With a March birthday I just couldn't help but make my collage for his card in shades of green!! And the green & kraft color combo makes a great masculine card.
What letter will you use?? If there is a story behind it, share that with us as well. This challenge is gonna be a fun one to follow because I am sure there will be all kinds of creative creation with fun stories to go with. Looking forward to reading your blogs over the next two weeks. Now it is time for you to get busy playing along with our challenge.
3 additional challenges inspired today's card...
Festive Friday Challenges // #FF0154 ...An "inspo list" challenge!! From the inspo list honoring St. Patrick's Day, pick 3 of the 10 elements to use on your card. For my card I picked: green, rainbow, and shamrock.
Colorful Options // MAR2024 ...A monthly color challenge!! Green is the color chosen for the month of March. Very fitting color choice don't you think?!? I used various shades of green ink along with two shades of green card stock.
SplitcoastStampers Sketch Challenge // #SC996 ...A sketch challenge!! I haven't used my arrow boarder punch in forever but when I saw this sketch I had to go dig it out. It was bigger then I remembered and used up more space than the sketch called for but I was all in with my idea and just adjust the panel size to make it work.

Freshly Made Sketches // #FMS625 ...A sketch challenge!! I had this boho paisley paper out on my desk from yesterday's card and decided it would work great for this sketch. So here is my take two on this designer paper.
Make My Monday Challenges // #MMM220 ...A technique challenge!! FUN FOLD CARD!! I decided that the sketch challenge from FMS would make a fantastic fun fold card. I was right...it worked perfectly to combine these two challenges
Sunday Stamps // #SSC330 ...A sketch challenge!! This is a great sketch for layering up some of that designer paper stash that you have been hoarding. That is what I did!! I love this boho paisley print and it's color combination is such a fun one. For a bit of added texture I paired the paper up with a paisley embossing folder.
How will you use this sketch?? How will you "raise the flags"??We can't wait to see!! Hop on over to our blog and check out the great inspiration from the rest of the design team...I am sure you will be inspired!!
Retro Rubber Challenges // #rrcb225 ...A "retro" challenge with a tic-tac-toe game board. By retro they mean that they want us to use a stamp that is over a year old. I used a Rose Wonder sentiment that retired from Stampin Up in 2018. My winning three in a row on the game board: patterned papers (retired DSP from Stampin Up...which makes it retro too), embossing (I used both dry embossing and heat embossing), gems (I used mustard colored rhinestone but they kinda blend in more than I like...there are 5 of them...can you find them??).
Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge // #AHSC566 ...A sketch challenge. Another great sketch for using up designer papers from my stash. This sketch was perfect starting point for my coffee & friends card.
INKspirational Challenges // #IC310 ...A "mood board" challenge. Macaroons need a cup of coffee don't they?!? The perfect blend just like coffee & friends!! To me the mood board had a vintage feel to it so I used some designer papers that had a vintage feel as well. The color combo was also an inspiration to me.

Color Throwdown // #ctd782 ...A color challenge!! The trio of colors called for in this challenge: burgundy, rose, and sage. I had this very old designer paper in my stash and decided it was time to quit hoarding it!! LOL!! It worked perfectly for showcasing this trio of colors!
Try A Sketch On Tuesday // #TSOT641 ...A sketch challenge!! This sketch would have looked even better if I would have used a slim line card base....but I didn't have one. In hind sight I wish I would have just cut down this base...oh well!!
Retro Rubber Challenges // #rrcb225 ...A "retro" challenge with a tic-tac-toe game board. By retro they mean to use a stamp that is over a year old. My winning three in a row on the game board: gems, butterfly, and floral. My retro stamp...Stampin Up's butterfly from the Papillon Potpourri from 2015. And my designer paper is very retro in deed!!

My winning three in a row on this tic-tac-toe game board: metallic (copper embossing powder and cording), any shape (all kinds of shapes on this card...rectangle/circles/all the moon phases), favorite color (I love navy blue!! In clothing and on cards!!).
