Make my Monday #257 - it's the little things that matter

Monday July 28, 2025

Hello.. Hope your July is going good and you're doing something fun and that you love to do. 
It's hard to believe August is almost here. 
I am not ready for summer to be over.. 

We have a new challenge over at

Theme: Masculine card


This is another card I made at my friends house that is a Stampin up kit. She orders the pumpkin kits.. I think that's the name and it comes with pieces to make a bunch of cards. It has a little square ink pad and a few stamps and embellishments.. it's really a nice way to go if you need something quick without thinking. The cards are double sided so she cuts them down the center so you get twice as many cards to create. I though this is a nice masculine card. The birds and sentiment were stamped the rest is already done, The blue is vellum you put over the blue that was already there.. I think you could save the blue and use it on another plain card base and create with it. Anyhow this is my masculine card.

Theme: anything goes




I decided to make a z fold card as I wanted a designer paper background and these papers are from Stampin up. I colored the image with copics. I added nuvo drops to the flower centers and sprinkled glitter over the wet centers. I added to the dark green and used my corner chomper to give it a different look.  I added the heat embossed Reverse confetti sentiment and used a Tech. Tues banner die.

Cardz 4 Guyz #376 - When being together is more important

Tuesday July 15, 2025

Hello

We have a new challenge over at

Theme: Summer holiday (for us in the USA - that's vacation)


I love going to the beach, any water .. I would take a nice river or lak, but beach / ocean is my choice.. I die cut the sea gulls and colored with copics. I took out of the die cut area and then created the land, water and sky using my templates I created using x-ray film.. Then stamped the SU sentiment and added the sea gulls back in the area I cut them out of using foam squares to give height.. I layered on some brown card stock.
