Now let’s see how our amazing Design Team made their Cards for Guys!

Franci combined the large tree from Christmas Dreams with the snowboarding and popsicle snacking Yeti or Not cutie on her clean and simple design! She added a colorful Offset Sayings: Christmas greeting!

Christy created an amazing underwater Christmas card for her scuba-diving enthusiast brother! She used Christmas Fishes, You Are Sublime and Mermaid for You!

Samantha‘s birthday card features some cool guy-friendly colors to create the inky background for the One in a Chameleon critter! She turned the Leafy Tree Backdrop (die cut from the back side of the Fall Fling 6×6 paper) around to use it on the right side of her card, then she die cut it again from kraft cardstock to layer over the top! She included a Tiny Tag Sayings: Birthday sentiment in a Say What? Pets speech bubble.

Jessica‘s Yeti or Not birthday card is fun and cool and perfect for the guys in your life! She created the awesome mini scene with Stitched Mountain Borders!

If you are in the Southern Hemisphere, Karin‘s card is timely inspiration for you! She used images from Smooth Sailing and created a great ocean scene with Tropical Backdrop!

This charming birthday card by Joyce will make anyone’s day! She added a hat from Dad+Me to the character from Screen Time and made a Fall scene using the trees and apples from Tree Before ‘n Afters! The Build-A-House has a fun brick pattern and some friendly birds from Open Me!

Caly‘s Beam Me Up birthday card has a fun interactive element courtesy of the Let’ Toast Pull Tab Add-On! She created an awesome inky backdrop for this outer space scene!

Clearly our Design Team thinks that snowboarding and yetis are perfect for Cards for Guys! Samantha M added her signature style with an ink blended and splattered background and the stripey accent of black and white! She resisted the pull to add sequins or glitter to keep this fun design guy-friendly!

Jenn‘s Ready Set Snow snow globe design has just enough sparkle to suggest snow but she kept this card clean, simple and colorful! She used a mix of Lawn Fawn ink in Merman, Cilantro and Minty Fresh to create the background. Her snowmen are stamped with River Rock ink for a toned down look!

We will share Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 63 tomorrow!

And now we are so happy to welcome Mona Tóth as our Guest Designer for this challenge! She has been inspiring us with her gorgeous projects filled with amazing color and creativity! You can find her on Instagram as @mona.toth and at her blog! Now let’s check out her fabulous Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up!

Mona used the score lines provided by the Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up to put together this amazing You Are Sublime ocean scene! She replaced the front of the box with an acetate panel to create a view under the water!

She used more acetate as strips to suspend the fish so they appear to be swimming about!

I love Mona’s attention to detail! She added the little smart phone from Elphie Selfie so the scuba diver can document his undersea adventure!

Jessica used the flaps included in Peekaboo Backdrop as her fun fold element! This Beam Me Up card is a nod to the X-Files!

She added the tag line from the show white heat-embossed on the shaker window using Milo’s ABCs.

Open the flap for the surprise birthday greeting! This card is just so fun!

Christy‘s fantastic Jurassic Park themed card features Critters from the Past in a Z-fold design to make an extended scene! She used Stitched Mountain Borders as a background!

Samantha’s sweet Scalloped Treat Box includes a clever Stitched Gift Card Pocket! Her One in a Chameleon critter has a rainbow of color!

Karin added a Lift the Flap fold to her pretty in pink card!

Inside is a sweet Rub-A-Dub-Dub surprise scene!

Samantha had the same idea to hide some Screen Time cuteness under the flap!

She added a little nod to Super Mario Brothers with the little mushroom from Gnome Sweet Gnome!

Franci is dreaming of Christmas in July with her charming Scalloped Treat Box decorated with Winter House Add-On!

Joyce used a variety of Lawn Fawn cardstock to create a sweet Woodland Critter Huggers Goodie Bag!
