Make my Monday #249 - Just a card to say hello

Monday April 7- 2025

Hello

We have a new challenge over at

Make my Monday #249 

Theme: Spring daisies

For my card I tried a few things with some dies but came up with this card as the final. I stamped the My favorite things flowers using Simon says ink. I used some scraps and MFT dies to do the green cuts. I laid out on different papers for the background but liked this best. I used a Sizzix embossing folder and then added the flowers and leaves. I used the embossed Stampin up sentiment and die. 

Challenges:

Alphabet challenge - I'll always be there

Friday April 4, 2025

Hello

Time for a new challenge over at

Alphabet challenge

Theme:  Z for zoom anything that moves fast

Well is you have a small dog, my Maltese and Shih Tzu are small dogs and oh so fast. I loved seeing them chase each other around the yard. You couldn't catch up with them. lucky enough they were in our large fenced yard. The Shih Tzus  and Maltese have now passed.. so those zoom days are over.  I created the clouds and ground with my templates I made and used Ranger ink. I stamped the My favorite things doggie and I didn't color the color of our babes but used colors  I thought went well for this breed, and colored with copics. I added the sentiment from the set. I love this card. It brings back sweet memories of my pups... zoom zoom..

Cardz 4 Guyz #369 - You are Tu-Tu cute

Tuesday April 1, 2025

Hello

We have a new challenge over at

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.

Sparkles Christmas #171

Theme: Christmas Foliage

I saw this card being done - the shape and I liked it so made it, it's Stampin up products, Ranger and My favorite things... I love how it came out. I die cut the flower and leaves and used Ranger ink.. I see the leaves look dead. I may have to go cut again and make green...  if they aren't brownish when this comes on then I changed them.. LOL  (yup - later  I changed it)

This is the card open

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..
