Make my Monday #281 - Smile

Monday June 29, 2026

Hello

It's time for another challenge over at

Make my Monday #281

Theme: Add 2 or 3 color blends

I had fun creating this fun card. I used Oxide Ranger inks and created the stripe. I then cut 3 flowers from Taylored Expressions and stacked them and added to the strip of blended ink. I colored another strip and using Simon Says smile die cut it out and added to the card. I love the colors and the black silhouette flower.

Theme: E  -  embossing / wet or dry

I love this stamp set.. I like that I made the octopus a coral color.. The embossing is sideways to make it look like water.. All products are from Stampin up.  

Love the octopus and did you see the show on Netflix with Sally Field called Remarkably bright  creatures... It was a great movie and made you cry so heart warming..

Cardz 4 Galz #270 - Congrats

Hello

We have a new challenge over at

Cardz 4 Galz #279

Theme: CAS  (clean and simple)

for my card I used scraps on my desk.. I have been creating a couple cards with this designer paper and had a few pieces left over so I adhered to the card. I had this green want to be flower but didn't like what I was trying to do to another card so used it and the congrats was there. So it's simple and kinda clean.. no bling.. almost one layer.

Crafty Catz #716 - flowers in a vase

Hello

It's time for a new challenge over at

Crafty Catz #716

Theme:  Anything goes

I was over at a friends house and she had this stamp set on the table.. I said let's play with this so we did and this is the results.. I like it but seems like it needs more.. I didn't want to add a sentiment as I don't know where or who it's going to.. All products are from stampin up.. Die cut the oval and square. Stamped  the flower to the die cut pieces and and then die cut the vases and added under the flower. Great way to use scraps.

Hello

We have a new challenge over at

Cardz 4 Guyz #387

Theme: Garden / Gardening

So I don't do gardens or do gardening. (I do have plants around the house and my hubby does the weeding and watering)  I hate getting my hands dirty.. funny.  But I do have some potted plants in my house. So this is my gardening and I love this background designer paper. It works perfect for this card I thought.

Theme: Use a stencil

Oh my I love this layered stencil set from Emily Moore Designs.. I used Ranger ink to create to flowers and leaves.. I love that you can use any colors you want with the stencils (or any stamp you want to use)

I didn't want to cover the pretty flowers so added some Stampin up gold cording and then die cut the hello from Simon says 4 times and layered to get a nice sturdy hello..
