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

Tuesday July 15, 2025

Hello

We have a new challenge over at
Cardz 4 Guyz #376

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.

I had fun creating this card.. Well I do for most of my cards.. I used the Stampin up embossing folder and then stamped the Stampin up flowers and colored with copics. I added twine and a SU punch heart that I embossed and swiped with gold ink. I added the sentiment and used Tech Tues banner die.

Friday July 11, 2025

We have a new challenge over at

Theme: G for Girlfriend



I don't have a Girlfriend words in my piles of stamps.. at least I couldn't find one. So I chose Besties because my girlfriend is my bestie.. We have so much fun together.  I used a piece from one of her Stampin up Pumpkin kit.. It's to hold a tag or gift card.. I used a SU embossing folder and then added the holder that I added some Taylor Expressions flowers I die cut from Scraps I added some My favorite things leaves cut from scraps. I added the Reverse Confetti Besties and Tech. Tues. words. I finished with some Diamond drills.

Cardz 4 Galz #254 - Mr. & Mrs.

Thursday July 10, 2025

It's my brothers birthday so Happy Birthday to him... although he will probably never see my blog.. lol

It's time for a new challenge over at
Cardz 4 Galz #254

Theme: Wedding or anniversary


Perfect timing for this challenge as my grandson is getting married in August. So this is the card I created. The papers are stampin up and then I needed something for the front so I stamped Simon Says image and colored with copics.. I had a trial getting the colors to not be so bright but I remember Kelly Taylor (I watch on YT and love her coloring, style and fun story time) she says to use gray to tone it down and it worked. I am really pleased and glad I remembered her mentioning to do it.  I stamped the Mr. and Mrs. on front and added some diamond drills. I used a crop a dial to do the corners.


This is the inside of the card using Simon Says stamps.

(Christmas, Vacation, gardening, picnic...

Ram Stamps

I am using the image Letter to Santa from Ram stamps.. I colored with copics and used a My favorite things die to cut out and backed with the pink. I added to some paper I forgot I had in another closet as I was looking for something else and never found... but found this cool piece. It was a 12x12 which I cut down to 6x6 so I have other chances to use it.  I saw this sentiment from Simon says that could be great for the person receiving it vs. Santa receiving it.  I heat embossed it. I added some diamond drills so it looks like snow.

Sparkles Christmas #174 - A snowflake is winter's birthday

Tuesday July 1, 2025

Hello it's time for another challenge over at
Sparkles Christmas #174

Theme: Sparkle and bling





I made this quite awhile ago but didn't post it as I got the theme wrong when I thought it was getting posted. Glad I caught it before I posted it..  I did heat embossed the Comotion stamp and then using water colors from Mission gold created the colors then went with the Paul Reuban metallic paints to add shimmer, I wish you could see it in person. I added some diamond drills left over from my diamond paintings.. I added the sentiment.
