It’s time for another Lawn Fawnatics challenge! If you are like us, you know the struggle to make cards for the men in our lives! So let’s inspire each other with a challenge dedicated to increasing a stash of masculine cards! This challenge will run through Sunday, June 17th (Father’s Day here in the US) at 11:59PM ET.

For each challenge, we will randomly select a winner to receive a $25.00 gift certificate to the Lawn Fawn shop! We will also be highlighting a few of your fabulous projects at the close of each challenge! By linking your projects to our challenges you will give permission for us to post your work to this blog and our social media sites. Check out the How to Play page for a few guidelines to play along. We want this to be FUN so we’ll keep the rules to just a few!

Now let’s be inspired by our amazing Design Team!

Franci created a fun design with Monster Mash that’s perfect for a guy of any age! How cool is that Stitched Heart cut in strips as the background!

Jessica‘s hubby is a band director so her brilliant design reflects his musical interests! She combined Happy Happy Happy with Critter Concert to create this stunning card!

We know most guys love the outdoors and camping is a great way to experience it! Joyce‘s adorable design pairs Love You S’more with Happy Trails!

Karin‘s clean and simple Reveal Wheel design features our adorable Duh-nuh shark! A watercolor background is all this awesome little scene needs to make it so special!

Christy‘s underwater scene is totally “sublime”! From the ink-blended backdrop to her awesome coloring this You Are Sublime design is spectacular!

Who says guys don’t like cute? Samantha‘s delightful card adds whimsical elements from Plane and Simple with a clean design that’s sure to make any dad smile!

Jenn‘s pirate-inspired Ahoy Matey card is a layered masterpiece!

This awesome card by Jenn combines Stitched Wave Borders, Stitched Hillside Borders, Puffy Cloud Borders and Palm Trees dies inside a Stitched Scalloped Square Frame!

Samantha‘s whimsical Dad’s day scene combines Yeti Set Go, Dad+Me and Beary Happy Holidays! She used a Stitched Journaling Card and Itsy Bitsy Polka Dot Backdrop to create a fun panel on a Gotta Have Gingham layer!

Kate‘s beautiful clean and simple design features Float My Boat stamped in nautical colors of Deep Sea, Merman and Lobster! Her clever greeting combines Simply Sentiments with ombre inked Louie’s ABCs!

We will have Design Team inspiration for you over the next two weeks and of course our Featured Fawnatics and Random Winner for Challenge 29 tomorrow!

She tied them up with our signature Lawn Fawn cord! (We use this cord to tie up our retail orders before we send them out to you!)

Franci’s card set is so charming! She stamped Gingham Backdrops with our pretty Minty Fresh ink to create a lovely background for the Easter Party images! She combined the sentiment in Easter Party with a Happy Happy Happy sentiment stamped in Sunflower ink!

Jessica made a colorful set of get well cards using Gotta Have Gingham papers and our Get Well Soon mini set! She color matched the ink to the gingham shades!

Cheerful paper patterns and our adorable Meow You Doin’ kitties make Christy‘s bright card set extra special!

Samantha M made multiples of one gorgeous watercolor card design! I love the texture in the cardstock and the beautifully colored Gleeful Gardens images!
