Double the Fun with Two Bingo Board Creations! - And CRICUT links!!!
Today I'm sharing two design team projects for the latest challenge at the Christmas (or Not) Bingo Challenge Blog. Since our team is temporarily short a designer, I had the pleasure of creating two cards for this challenge. Both cards were inspired by the beautiful July 1 – August 15, 2026 Bingo Board.
The Bingo Board
The goal is simple: choose a column and include at least three elements from that column in your project. I decided to challenge myself by using every element from two different columns!
Card #1 – Column O
Double Diamond Pop-Up Anniversary Card
For my first project, I selected Column O:
- Fun/Fancy Fold Card Base
- Ivory
- Free Space
- Ribbon or Lace
- Embossing or Foiling
This elegant Double Diamond Pop-Up Card was created for a 40th Anniversary celebration. I was inspired by Sam Calcott's Youtube Tutorial. The ivory cardstock provides a soft, classic look, while embossed floral panels add texture and interest. Sparkly burgundy glitter matting frames the embossed panels beautifully, and pearl trim serves as the ribbon/lace element from the bingo board.
The center pop-up diamonds create a wonderful dimensional focal point featuring a "Happy 40th" sentiment and a cluster of flowers. Pearls throughout the design add a touch of elegance and help celebrate this milestone anniversary.
The fancy fold structure certainly fulfills the "Fun/Fancy Fold Card Base" requirement, and I incorporated embossing on the large panels to complete the column.
I've Included the Cricut Card Base Cut Link for anyone who has a Cricut and wants to try this one: https://design.cricut.com/landing/project-detail/6a396224c93b9205f0222911
Card #2 – Column I
Circular Stepper Rocker Birthday Card
For my second project, I chose Column I:
- Circle or Oval Card Base
- Masculine
- Free Space
- Stencil Paste
- Gear and/or Wheel
This Circular Stepper Rocker Card was designed with a masculine theme featuring a striking pheasant standing among cattails that I found on Creative Fabrica. The circular card base immediately satisfied the first requirement, while the outdoor scene makes a wonderful masculine birthday card.
To incorporate the stencil paste element, I added textured details to the lower decorative layers. The wheel requirement was met with the decorative gear-like embellishments positioned near the sentiment panel, adding both interest and a mechanical touch to the design.
The rocker base allows the card to gently move when displayed, making it another fun and interactive card design.

Which Column Will You Choose?
I had so much fun creating these two very different cards from the same bingo board. One is elegant and feminine with lots of texture and dimension, while the other has a more masculine, outdoors-inspired feel.
Now it's your turn! Grab the bingo board, pick a column (or several!), and join us at the Christmas (or Not) Bingo Challenge Blog. Whether you create something festive or not, we'd love to see how you interpret the board.
Thank you for stopping by today, and happy crafting!
