Hello

We have a new challenge over at

Cardz 4 Galz #279

Theme: CAS  (clean and simple)

for my card I used scraps on my desk.. I have been creating a couple cards with this designer paper and had a few pieces left over so I adhered to the card. I had this green want to be flower but didn't like what I was trying to do to another card so used it and the congrats was there. So it's simple and kinda clean.. no bling.. almost one layer.

Friday June 19, 2026

Hello

It's time for a new challenge over at

Crafty Catz #716

Theme:  Anything goes

I was over at a friends house and she had this stamp set on the table.. I said let's play with this so we did and this is the results.. I like it but seems like it needs more.. I didn't want to add a sentiment as I don't know where or who it's going to.. All products are from stampin up.. Die cut the oval and square. Stamped  the flower to the die cut pieces and and then die cut the vases and added under the flower. Great way to use scraps.

Aud Sentiments #338 - happy birthday

Monday June 1, 2026

Hello  

We have a new challenge over at

Aud Sentiments #338

Theme: Monochrome / Birthday 

and always a sentiment

This was a fun card to create.. The dies are from Emily Moore Design.. I borrowed this one from my friend but I do have a few of her dies and stencils.  My friend showed me how to make the birthday shinny and stand out.. Adding packing tape over the card stock and burnishing it down and then run it though your die cutting machine and how you have a shinny sentiment.  This was so simple to create since the happy birthday takes up the card. Emily does have a smaller one and I am thinking of getting that one.
