Cardz4Guyz // #C4G341 ...A masculine challenge with some fun folds.  We have a new challenge that begins today and runs for 2 weeks.  Our challenge to you is to create a masculine card that have multiple folds...a fun fold card!!

#C4G341 // Fun Fold

My take on this challenge included a basic tri-panel card base (2 folds), along with a duo of fun fold pinwheels.  These pinwheels are fun to make and are perfect for a little birthday boy!!

Now it is your turn!!  We are excited to see how you use our "fun fold" challenge to create a masculine card.  Hop on over to our blog and get all the details for this challenge.  You will find some fantastic inspiration from the rest of the design team.  Happy Stamping!!

One other challenge inspired today's card...

CAS on Friday // #277 ...A clean and simple challenge with a male/boy theme.  Perfect challenge for this "birthday boy" sentiment.  My second card for today's post would also work for this challenge.  It is clean and simple and it was created for a young man going through a tough time.

Card #2 inspired by 2 challenges...

Just Us Girls // JUG714 ...A mood board challenge!!  Ina picked this mood board and talked about the purples hues being her favorite.  Even though purples are not my favorite I decided to come back with a second card that used purple!!

Just Add Ink // #JAI689 ... A color challenge!!  The color combo for this current challenge: Gorgeous Grape, Tahitian Tide, and White.  A perfect color combo for my surf and sailboats!!

4 challenges inspired today's card...

Alphabet Challenge // 09FEB24 ...An alphabet challenge!!  W is for weddings!!  I have 2 nephews getting married, one in May and one in June, so this challenge came along at the perfect time.  This card is my second entry in this challenge.  I used the same heart die but created a totally different look.  You can see the other "Happy Wedding Day" card here.

INKspirtional Challenges // #IC309 ...A "word prompt" challenge!! HEARTS is the word prompt given for this current challenge.  I used a heart shaped die along with a double heart charm for my HEARTS element.

Colorful Options // FEB2024 ...A month long color challenge!! PINK is the color for February's challenge.  I still have ribbon, card stock, and ink remaining of Stampin Up's Pretty in Pink retired color.  It was one of my favorite pinks that they ever had.

Make My Monday // #MMM219 ...A theme challenge!! LOVE is the theme for this current challenge.  Nothing says love like a wedding...two souls unity...bound by LOVE!!

Card #2 inspired by 3 challenges... 

Just Us Girls // #JUG714 ...A "mood board" challenge!! Ina choice for this mood board was all about the purples because she loves purple.  But purple is not my favorite color to work with so I used the peachy color that you find in each of the picture that make up the mood board.  I love shells and was excited to play with my new Circle Sayings stamp set from Stampin Up.  The seashell stamp pairs up perfectly with their Friends Are Like Seashells set & 3D embossing folder.

The Paper Players // #PP677 ...A clean & simple challenge with a FRIENDS FOREVER theme.  Not only do I have a great collection of seashells, I have a great collections of friends!!

Never Before Used Schtuff // #NBUS59 ...A "never been used" challenge!!  The seashell stamp from Stampin Up's Circle Sayings stamp set got inked up for the first time today.  This is gonna be a fun addition to my collection of seashell stamps.
