Alphabet challenge - V - hello

Friday February 7, 2025

Hello 

It's time for a new challenge over at

Alphabet challenge

Theme: Vintage

I remembered I had this set from Taylored Expressions and thought it would be perfect. I found colors I thought would look more vintage and stamped. I used My favorite things circle die and sent around the edges with Ranger ink. I didn't add any bling I wanted to keep it simple and vintage. 

Challenges:

As you like it - stamp or die/why? (I love stamps as I have so many and I find it easier to add a great background with stamps to highlight the focal image- most cards I make are with stamps unless the dt has a digi sponsor)

I used the image called Cake.. I know there is no cake but I decided to use the coffee mug/cup instead of the two together.. I colored with copics and added dots with a white gel pen. I went over the coffee with a spectrum Noir sparkle pen. I used Simon says die and added this to a piece of designer paper. I added the sentiment from Sugar pea designs. I die cut using Tech. Tues. banner. I added the little coffee beans from Doodlebug designs. I added some Stampin up flowers (also used SU ink for the sentiment) and added a few rhinestone diamond drills to the flower centers.

Cardz 4 Galz #243

Theme: Polkadots

Digging through my papers I found this polkadots and I don't know who made it. I liked the brown so I dug through my stamps and saw this image from The rubber cafe so stamped in a brownish ink. I stamped the Tech. Tues sentiment and heat embossed it on Vellum. I added a few blings.. the glue showed through the vellum. wish there was a way to keep that from happening. but it's there and I love the sentiment with the corset..

Hello and Happy February 1st

We have a new challenge over at

Sparkles Christmas #169

Theme: A cup of Christmas tea

For my card I still have these beautiful Quick Quote scraps on my desk so I worked from that.. I stamped the Stamp Simply tea cup and sentiment and colored the cup with copics. I fussy cut it out. I die cut the white board piece with a My favorite things die and added the tea cup. I added that to the background and added that to a red piece.

Do-Al(l)Creative #98 - butterflies

Saturday February 1, 2025

Hello and wow already February.. one day closer to spring although we did get our first dusting of snow today.. 

We have a new challenge over at

Do-Al(l)Creative #98

Theme: Wings

I left the sentiment off the card as I didn't feel it needed one. I used Stampin up products. I like the short fold on the front so the inside paper shows. I didn't want to color the butterflies as I thought they looked stunning as the are. This can be a simple and effective card to give to someone
