Alphabet challenge - Keep smiling

Friday August 21, 2026

Hello 

We have a new challenge over at

Alphabet Challenge

Theme: I - for insects

I was over at my friends house just visiting and we decided to create cards.. I saw a template she had on her desk that had circles cut out of it. So grabbed the Ranger inks and three colors and just did circles where I thought they should be. 

Once happy with that I used her large Butterfly stamp and stamped it. I added the Simon says sentiment and a few diamond drills. I love how this came out. Was so simple but effective.

Cardz 4 Galz #283 Happy Birthday

Thursday August 20, 2026

Hello

We have a new challenge over at

Cardz 4 Galz #283 

Theme: Kraft and Blue

This was a fun card to create. Again I chose to use paper colors vs. copic coloring.  The products are Stampin up. The happy birthday ??? no idea but I like it.  I chose some different blues to work with and die cut the images and laid out different ways and came to liking this layout best. I added the white pieces as it felt like it needed more to fill in the gaps. I added the ribbon and the bling. I added it to a dark blue base.

Hello

We have a new challenge over at

Cardz 4 Guyz #389

Theme: Hot air balloon

I created the background with my Sky template and ground template. I then stamped the Stampin up trees in SU green ink. I die cute the SU hot air balloons and banner and added to the card to create a scene. I think I will send this to my brother and SIL for Christmas.. They were married in a hot air balloon quite a few years ago.  I had them in mind when I created my card.

Theme: ATG / Summer vibes

I was going through my dies and found this strip die from Simon Says and thought gee I've had it forever and don't think I have ever used it. Never...  so I thought now is the time.
