Several of our Design Team Members and Guests decided to play along - Read the description below each card to see who made it!

| Tricia Traxler (May Guesst Designers) used two textures on this cute card - a stamped wood frame plus Metal staples and brads! She used the lightbulb stamp from Around the House set - so much fun! |
 |
Samantha used wood as a background on her card! She featured the lamp from the Around the House and added some fun yellow vellum to look like the light shining out! Love This!

 |
| Christine used the cute bear from our Winston's BBQ set. She added him onto this card with a fun wood frame and wood stars! So perfect for Father's Day! |
 |
| Danielle used a wood frame on her card from our Around the House set. Inside the frame is some fun canvas, made to look as if it's stamped by Newton from Newton's Antics! Isn't that fun? He literally has Inky Paws!!! |
 |
| Tessa used a wood embossing folder to create her card base and a wood thought bubble too! She used that cute little bandit from the Sweetheart Tails stamp set! This card is so simple and sweet! |
 |
| Larissa used a fun piece of wood and paper pierced the fun tape dispenser from the Around the House set. She also added some metal tape and metal toned sequins! Love that bit of Metallic!! |

| And one by Me - I managed to get in all 3 textures. I used used a big circle of Cork and stamped beer bottles on it with White ink. Then I added metal brads and a wood heart too! as a background on her card! The bear is from our new Winston's BBQ set! I love how fun this set is for Father's Day! |
