It’s time to kick off our monthly challenge for May! Our challenges begin on the second Friday of each month, and each month will have a different theme. We hope you’ll use it as inspiration to create a card!
This month’s theme is: Masculine Cards!
It’s time to create some cards for the guys in your life! It can be for Father’s Day next month, or any other reason to send a guy in your life a card. And the definition of “masculine” cards varies wildly! However you wish to interpret this challenge is fine. Just create something for a guy.
Pink & Main products are encouraged on your challenge card, but not required. We just want to see what this month’s theme inspires you to create! You can enter your cards for this month’s challenge in one of two ways: in the Inlinkz link-up at the bottom of this post, or in the May album in our Pink & Main Creations Gallery Facebook Group. Enter for a chance to win a Pink & Main store credit worth $25.
Submissions close on Wednesday, June 11 at 11:59pm ET. The winning entry will be selected randomly and posted with the next new challenge blog post.
Let’s take a look at what our Pink & Main Challenge Team created with this month’s theme…
Brennan kicks us off with a classic masculine card for Father’s Day! He created a background with the Masculine Foilables Panels (very fitting, right?) and added his greeting with the new Happy Father’s Day Dies.
Dominique created a fun party scene in bold colors with the Icing on the Cake stamp set. Using the Cloudy Day Stencil in an unexpected color – yellow – is a great twist!
Jennifer’s adorable card features the Fast Lane stamps and dies. And how fun is the clever use of the Fireworks Embossing Folder in the background?
June turned to patterned paper in traditionally masculine colors for her card, here using the Great Outdoors Paper Pack. Bringing in papers is a great way to set the tone for the card.
Lee created a cute card for an outdoorsy guy! She combined the Campy Raccoons stamp set and Mountain Range Dies with the Card Cut Essentials 3 Dies to create her card layout.
And finally, a fun interactive card from Rosie! She used the Jackpot stamps and dies along with the Scratch-Off Sticker Sheets to create this fun card! We have an entire series of Scratch-Off products, check them out HERE.
We loved seeing all of your flower cards from the April challenge! We randomly chose a winner from all of the entries – congratulations to Peggy McCullar! Please send us an email to support@pinkandmain.com to claim your $25 store credit!

You have until Wednesday, June 11 at 11:59pm ET to add your link to your NEW creation with the “Masculine Card” theme to be eligible for the prize of a $25 store credit.
