Cardz 4 Galz #243 - I'd squeeze through anything for you

Thursday February 6, 2025 

Hello 

There's another challenge over at

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

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. I wrapped  Stampin up cord around the edge and added the whole piece to the white card base. I added the two sentiments. I used Spectrum Noir sparkle brush to the tea (or coffee for me) 

Challenges:

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

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
