Alphabet challenge

Theme: G for Girlfriend

I don't have a Girlfriend words in my piles of stamps.. at least I couldn't find one. So I chose Besties because my girlfriend is my bestie.. We have so much fun together.  I used a piece from one of her Stampin up Pumpkin kit.. It's to hold a tag or gift card.. I used a SU embossing folder and then added the holder that I added some Taylor Expressions flowers I die cut from Scraps I added some My favorite things leaves cut from scraps. I added the Reverse Confetti Besties and Tech. Tues. words. I finished with some Diamond drills.

Cardz 4 Galz #254 - Mr. & Mrs.

Thursday July 10, 2025

It's my brothers birthday so Happy Birthday to him... although he will probably never see my blog.. lol

It's time for a new challenge over at

Cardz 4 Galz #254

Theme: Wedding or anniversary

Perfect timing for this challenge as my grandson is getting married in August. So this is the card I created. The papers are stampin up and then I needed something for the front so I stamped Simon Says image and colored with copics.. I had a trial getting the colors to not be so bright but I remember Kelly Taylor (I watch on YT and love her coloring, style and fun story time) she says to use gray to tone it down and it worked. I am really pleased and glad I remembered her mentioning to do it.  I stamped the Mr. and Mrs. on front and added some diamond drills. I used a crop a dial to do the corners.

This is the inside of the card using Simon Says stamps.

Ram Stamps

I am using the image Letter to Santa from Ram stamps.. I colored with copics and used a My favorite things die to cut out and backed with the pink. I added to some paper I forgot I had in another closet as I was looking for something else and never found... but found this cool piece. It was a 12x12 which I cut down to 6x6 so I have other chances to use it.  I saw this sentiment from Simon says that could be great for the person receiving it vs. Santa receiving it.  I heat embossed it. I added some diamond drills so it looks like snow.

Sparkles Christmas #174 - A snowflake is winter's birthday

Tuesday July 1, 2025

Hello it's time for another challenge over at

Sparkles Christmas #174

Theme: Sparkle and bling

I made this quite awhile ago but didn't post it as I got the theme wrong when I thought it was getting posted. Glad I caught it before I posted it..  I did heat embossed the Comotion stamp and then using water colors from Mission gold created the colors then went with the Paul Reuban metallic paints to add shimmer, I wish you could see it in person. I added some diamond drills left over from my diamond paintings.. I added the sentiment.

Theme: Anything goes / Gate fold card

I used Stampin up products.. This is a gate fold with one side being not as wide.. I like this fun technique for the front.. It's just squares folded and added to create the zig zag.. cool look and nice to see the other side of the designer paper. Added a little sentiment to the front..
