Make my Monday #239 - No one stacks up to you

Monday November 18, 2024

Hello again

We have a new challenge over at 

Make my Monday #239

Theme: Food / Drink

I was over at a friends house in Oct. and she is a stamper / card maker too and I brought different papers over and some in and stamped some of her images that I thought I could use some time in the future.. Boy I am glad I did cause these stacked coffee cups is perfect. But I didn't write down who the stamps are from So sorry I don't know who it belongs to but I sure had fun coloring it. I put glossy accents on the dripping coffee and some Spectrum Noir sparkle on some of the cups. I had this sentiment from Stamp Simply that is perfect. I heat embossed it and fussy cut it out

I'm the host so I picked the theme.

Theme: Your 3 favorite colors

My favorite colors are the ones below. Purple, Orange, Green... I usually use for Halloween cards and so it's refreshing that I could use the for this card instead. All Stampin up products. I do love carrots and my favorite is carrot salad which my daughter hated growing up. we still kid about it.. I don't like eggs and she doesn't like the salad.

Cardz 4 Guyz #359 - Life is beautiful

Tuesday October 29, 2024

Hello everyone

We have a new challenge over at

Cardz 4 Guyz #359

Theme: Taste of autumn

For my card I took a piece card stock and folded it for an A2 size. Then cut off about an inch from open side. Then used a piece of designer paper from Stampin up and cut it a little wider than A2 size then cut off about 1.5 inches and took the largest piece and put on the front of the card and the 1.5 piece on the inside. I love the look of the continued piece. I added the sentiment having it go off the side. This is so easy and with so many beautiful dp out there it's a great way to get the full joy of using them and creating.

Inside of the card. Still enough room to add your greeting
