A CAS for the Guys

Clean And Simple

Still working on my stash of guy cards. I ran short this month so I'm

making plenty for myself and others. It seems like there is always 

someone who needs a guy card. The inspiration for this card comes from

this week's Heart 2 Heart challenge: Clean and Simple.

Clean and simple  as 1-2-3

1. Use just 2 pieces of B&T papers.

2. Slant one sheet for interest and style.

3. Add a greeting and a few stars for texture.

Share your CAS with us at Heart 2 Heart this week.

Adding to my stash of masculine birthday cards fit just right with the

Color My Heart color challenge this week: Indian Corn Blue, Black,

White Daisy, and Silver. Great colors for that special guy card.

And then there is Lagoon

Brought to by the Birthday Color Challenge at Heart 2 Heart.

The challenge is to make a project using the color assigned to 

your birthday. My color was one of my favorites: Lagoon

So check out the color challenge at Color My Heart or find

your birthday color at Heart 2 Heart and share your project with us.

Let the Games Begin

First Game: Tic-Tac-Toe

Heart 2 Heart has a Tic-Tac-Toe game board to play from.

To play the game - you have to get three in a row 

either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

I chose diagonally with manly, ribbon, and embossing.

I used manly colors from the Wanderful paper pack, Black striped twill ribbon 

and the Chevron embossing folding to emboss the banner.

Note: this last week we had a family gathering for my Grandson's 21st birthday. 

When I went to my card basket would you believe I had No masculine 

birthday cards. So I'm stocking up on masculine cards this week.

So here's the "board" we played off of for Tic-Tac-Toe at Heart 2 Heart

Second Game: Bingo

Using the Bingo card from Jeanette Lynton's Blog, Make It from Your Heart 

I made another masculine birthday card to add to my stash. 

To play this game use the inspiration Bingo board: Close your eyes 

and let your finger land where it may. Then choose your direction.

I used all the guidelines listed under the "O" in Bingo

For my stitching and the exposure of the white core I did some

faux stitching on the black band. I used the Snapshots Dimensional

Elements for my frame. I used the Shinhan markers to color my stars and

the PML card is from the Hopscotch collection.

I do have to say the Bingo game was certainly a challenge. 

So if you're up for a definite challenge play bingo with us. 

To get your Bingo card visit Jeanette's blog Make It From Your Heart 

and let your creative juices take you to new places.
