Cardz 4 Galz #257 - Bee cause

Thursday August 21, 2025

Hello

We have a new challenge over at


Theme:  Vellum




I was looking for a cute bee die and found this on Amazon.. May Joy DIY.. I don't usually do this but didn't know where else to look.. I used a lot of scraps. I did vellum on the larger bee wings, and vellum besides the leaf dies.  I like the look and figured no place for the sentiment so it will all go inside. I did add a gem to the flower centers.

Allsorts challenge #830 - something beginning with B

Alphabet challenge

Friday August 8, 2025

Hello 

We have a new challenge over at 

Theme: I - for ink blending


I had fun creating this card but I have to admit I YT how to use the stencil.. It came with 5 different stencils and I tried using them all and I did not like what I created so hence.. You Tube.. 

I used Stampin up card stock, I used SU ink and the stencils. I used just a couple of the stencils and felt better when it was done this time. I used a spellbinder die and cut two of the die and cut them in half and layered. I added the heat embossed sentiment.. I was an old red rubber stamp and the name was rubbed off the word. guess I have used this a lot over the years..I added the glittery ribbon strip.  I added some SU leaves, punched flowers and the blue in on the flowers is when I have used those ink sprays in my wooden box and on a paper towel and love the colors so much I glued it to a white card stock. Now when I need something pretty I used it.. So besides the stencil work being ink blending, the center blue of the flowers is ink blending... I finished with a few gems.. I added to a white card base.
