Make my Monday #273 - you made my day

March 9, 2026

Hello

We have a new challenge over at


Theme: Twine / ribbon / thread


This was a fun card to make. The background paper is so colorful and I thought a solid piece of card stock and the sentiment with a ribbon would be enough. I backed the dsp with a piece of card stock and then added to the yellow base.

Alphabet challenge - words can't express

March 6, 2026

Hello

We have a new challenge over at


Theme: W - wild flowers


I love wild flowers.. I love picking them on walks.. Living out in the country we have snap dragons on back roads and other such wild flowers.. This kinda reminded me of some I picked or loved to look at and smell, making sure a bee wasn't close by. I stamped the green base with the same doily stamp that I did on the white piece...  I stamped and die cute the flowers and ribbon.. I thought it needed a comforting sentiment. 

Challenges:
Beautiful blooms #38 - atg blooms / mood board

Hello

We have a new challenge over at


Theme: Embossing - wet or dry


This is one of my favorite embossing folders.. I was thinking of what else can I emboss it on. I did the copper card stock and love how it came out.. the lights give it the rainbow colors as I was taking the photo. I didn't want to cover much so I kept the sentiment simple.

Sparkes Christmas #182 - Thinking of you

March 1, 2026

Hello

We have a new challenge over at 


Theme: Snowman (or any snow person/gender)


I had fun creating this card. I had a star die from Simon says and I cut it out and then took a circle and die cut to size to work with the wreath. I wanted the stars behind to stand out so I took a watercolored piece that was left over from a project and smeared Wink of stella over it and die cut and added behind the start piece.. Oh I used Ranger ink and blended the sky then added the star piece to the watercolor piece.
I die cut the Simon says wreath out of a scrap and then used Paper trey ink holly dies and die cut a bunch in white. Then used Ranger to color.. Added them around wreath. I colored the cardinal with Ranger and added it. The snowperson is Gerda Steiner and I colored with copics and fussy cut out and added to the wreath.. 
I didn't want a plain background so I used a Sizzix embossing folder and the birch tree.  I had these sentiments from Stampin up already done so I grabbed one I thought was good as the snowperson looks like it's looking at the bird.. 
I am pleased with how it came out.

Theme:  Anything goes


Oh I love this card.. This is a fun stamp set and the different colors make it work. This can be a CAS card.. I did a simple happy birthday sentiment, but a sympathy would work or any sentiment.. You could probably change colors to more masculine colors / fall colors for that special guy
