Welcome to the Cardz 4 Guyz #364 challenge! Deb H., our host this challenge chose Lighthouses for the theme. When you finish here, please visit the challenge site to see what the rest of the very talented design team members created. Then, don’t forget to upload your creations to our gallery. We look forward to seeing your creations there!

Here’s my Lighthouse card:

Since this is a fun fold, I will be entering it in the gallery for the Creative Creases Challenge.

I haven’t made a side-step card in a while, so I went back to a Connie Stewart video for one of her Simple Stamping videos. Whenever I need a quick card and want to try a new fun fold, I know I can find something on Connie’s YouTube channel.

I used the retired Smooth Sailing stamp set and coordinating die set for my card. The Boho Blue DSP (designer series paper) is from the Cheerful Daisy paper set. I love Boho Blue with Copper Clay and am going to miss these colors when they retire with the introduction of the 2025 – 2026 catalog.

The front sentiment is from the Sweetly Scripted stamp set. The back sentiment is from the Special Moments stamp set.

I thought the DSP on the background needed something, so I used the compass rose from the Smooth Sailing stamp set. After rubbing down the DSP with my embossing buddy, I stamped the compass rose with VersaMark ink and covered it with clear embossing powder, which I heat set. I’ll never tire of watching the magic happen when heat setting embossing powder.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Have a Peachy Day!
