Monday April 21, 2025

Hello and hope your day, week, month and year and going good.

We have a new challenge over at

Make my Monday #250

Theme: Thing with wings

For my card I used Stampin up products and a little Ranger ink and diamond drills from my diamond paintings.. There too pretty to throw away so embellishments for my cards I use them.

I used a brick embossing folder to the green background. I added the designer papers and die cut the white butterflies and using Ranger ink added color. I added them to the card and added the diamonds. I heat embossed the sentiment on Vellum. I love this card.

Thursday April 15, 2025

Happy April and hard to believe it's the middle of the month

It's time for a new challenge over at

Cardz 4 Guyz #370

I chose the theme

Theme:  Fancy Fold 

I used Stampin up products. I creased down the center of the front  and added designer papers on both sections. I then stamped the peaches and leaves and fussy cut. I added them to a piece of white that I stamped a mesh looking in green ink on it. I added the sentiment. I added adhesive right down the center fold and added the peach piece. Below you can see why it's just the center. 

This photo shows the card partially open the green embossed strip is placed on foam dots so they are higher and the front right fold is up against it to keep the card open. If you open the card all the way there is a space to write your sentiment.

Cardz 4 Guyz #369 

Theme: fun and games - any game or sport

After I made this card I thought... hummm not very masculine for Cardz 4 Guyz.. BUT I am sure there are lots of different ballet dancers that play different rolls and he doesn't have a top for his costume.. so it's a guy to me.. lol..and ballet is a form of art and sport.. I took an embossing folder and inked the side that is the background and laid a light pink card stock down and carefully ran it through.. I then stamped the My favorite things image and colored with copics and using a MFT die cut it out and added on foam dots. I added the MFT sentiment cut with Tech. Tues. banner. I added it and with a SU punch flower and some black diamond drills for the center. I do love this card.

Do-Al(l)Creative #100 - blog hop - Happy Birthday

Tuesday April 1, 2025

Hello and Happy Blog-aversary to us

Do-Al(l)Creative #100

Theme: Spring like birthday

If you're doing the blog hop you should of come over to my blog from Anne's .. Hasn't the DTmade some awesome cards? Great inspiration...

 This is my card. I bought a layered stencil and die from Amazon awhile back and now I am using it. I wasn't sure of where to use the colors but I think it came out pretty nice considering I started with white card stock... I used the dies and they came out nice. I thought they would have a large white edge but they didn't. I even have a few flowers left over. I then was looking for a good background and came across this orange which looked great so but plain so I used a Stampin up embossing folder. I laid out the design and and was happy with it. I used a Stampin up sentiment and die and finished with some black diamond painting drills.. I went over the flowers lightly with Spectrum Noir Sparkle brush. I like it and think I will create some other color flowers.

Now it's on to Caroline's blog.. 

I hope you leave me some love and leave some love over at Caroline's blog..
