Greetings! It's time to explore a new 3-2-1 Recipe Challenge from Double Trouble. This is biweekly Challenge #218, opening on Monday. June 8, 2026, and closing on Sunday, June 21, 2026, at noon, Eastern time.
Trouble Maker has provided us with the new recipe for the challenge, "My Guy." Following is a summary of how I incorporated the elements into my card.

3 Washi tape or patterned strips.
Four patterned strips were added to the card.
2 Die-cut Elements

OPTIONS
Twisted Sister wants to know more about a special man in my life.
This year, Father's Day is celebrated on Sunday, June 21. I only have one brother, David, who is alive with children, so this card is for him. David has two grown sons. They enjoy hunting, fishing and other outdoor activities. Last Father's Day, I created a card for David with a fishing theme, so this year I went with a deer theme, though the focus isn't specifically on hunting.
Double Dare is offering a sketch from Try a Sketch on Tuesday Challenge #697, shown below. This biweekly challenge runs from Tuesday, June 9, through Sunday, June 21, 2026, at noon (ET). You will be eligible for yet another chance in the random drawing if you also use this sketch for the Double Trouble Challenge.
The TSOT sketch was used to create the Double Trouble card.
To create my card for Double Trouble #218, I gathered masculine-themed papers from my stash. The strips were matted with cardstock to provide a shadow. The die-cut deer was added onto a trimmed die-cut circle. A bit of ephemera was used for the sentiment. The sentiment and circle were adhered using foam tape for dimension. The inside of the card was lined with white cardstock and decorated with a die-cut deer and ephemera to create a banner.
The Design Team has an array of cards available for your review at the Double Trouble Blog. We invite you to take a look and hope you gather inspiration to create a few cards as well.
Thank you,
Melanie
