Cardz 4 Galz #253 - Happy Retirement

Thursday June 27. 2025 

Hello and hope you're having a great summer

We have a new challenge over at
Cardz 4 Galz #253

Theme:  Welcome Summer


I made this card for my best friend who retired . She loves the beach and goes out to our Washington Coast as much as they can and they vacation in Calif. So I wanted this to be a special card. I wrote the Retirement message inside. I did not want to mess up the front with a sentiment. I used Taylor Expression chairs, Ranger ink, Stampin up, I have arched dies?? the water and sand is an old rubber baby buggy bumper red rubber.  The background orange paper is scrap from Quick quote.  I used bleed proof white for the foamy water.

Cardz 4 Guyz #375 - We can do no great things, only small things with great love

Tuesday June 24, 2025

We have a new challenge over at
Cardz 4 Guyz  #375

Theme: Checks or Plaids



I dug through scraps and found this cool plaid.. funny when I look through my paper pads I always find plaids but when I NEED to make a card with plaids  ---- can I find one NO.. I dug through my scraps. 
I used the Stampin Up punch for the bird and leaves.. I used another SU die for the other leaf. I layered the punch pieces just to make them a little more sturdy. I added to the plaid. I added a diamond drill for the eye and a few blue ones to the card. I stamped the sentiment.

Alphabet challenge - Thank you

Friday June 13, 2025

Hello 

It's time for a new challenge over at
Alphabet challenge

Theme: E - embossing / wet or dry


I was digging though some die images I had already done a long time ago.. I saw these flowers and thought I better use them while I know they are there now.. lol.  I took a piece of scrap and a small Stampin up folder and ran it through. I then added the flowers together and laid them out I needed a vertical sentiment so found this one. I stamped but it looked a little off (it's a red rubber stamp) so I stamped on a piece of card stock and used Tech. Tues. banner die.
