Monday September 8, 2025

Hello

We have a new challenge over at

Make my Monday #260

Theme: Fun with stencils

I was over to another friends house and got to use her craft room and create. I found this Gina K stencil and so I used my Quick Quote chalk ink and created this lovely design.  I brought it home and finished creating the card adding the sentiment and heart. I softly went around the white area with my blending brush that probably had Ranger ink on it that was blue. Just to soften the white.  I am sending this to my daughter and son in law this month.

Theme:  Vellum

I was looking for a cute bee die and found this on Amazon.. May Joy DIY.. I don't usually do this but didn't know where else to look.. I used a lot of scraps. I did vellum on the larger bee wings, and vellum besides the leaf dies.  I like the look and figured no place for the sentiment so it will all go inside. I did add a gem to the flower centers.

Alphabet challenge

Friday August 8, 2025

Hello 

We have a new challenge over at 

Alphabet Challenge

Theme: I - for ink blending

I had fun creating this card but I have to admit I YT how to use the stencil.. It came with 5 different stencils and I tried using them all and I did not like what I created so hence.. You Tube.. 

I used Stampin up card stock, I used SU ink and the stencils. I used just a couple of the stencils and felt better when it was done this time. I used a spellbinder die and cut two of the die and cut them in half and layered. I added the heat embossed sentiment.. I was an old red rubber stamp and the name was rubbed off the word. guess I have used this a lot over the years..I added the glittery ribbon strip.  I added some SU leaves, punched flowers and the blue in on the flowers is when I have used those ink sprays in my wooden box and on a paper towel and love the colors so much I glued it to a white card stock. Now when I need something pretty I used it.. So besides the stencil work being ink blending, the center blue of the flowers is ink blending... I finished with a few gems.. I added to a white card base.
