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.

Hello

We have a new challenge over at


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

Cardz 4 Galz #270 - butterfly

February 19, 2026

Hello

We have a new challenge over at


Theme: Wings (butterflies / birds / fairies


I created this card with scraps.. I had a piece of acetate left on my desk from last month. So since it's hard to lose since it's clear I thought lets use for this card.  I cut strips of designer paper and adhered diagonally and then turned over and cut the over hanging pieces off. I added to a die cut  card piece with a few foam strips behind the strips to hide them. And added this to a card base the same color. I added the foil color butterfly that was die cut out.  I opted to not add a sentiment cause I didn't want to take away from the front beauty.

February 17, 2026

Hello

We have a new challenge over at


Theme: Monochrome colors



I had a friend over and I was making cards for design teams I am on and she was just using my stamps and papers and creating. She made a card with this old red rubber Stampin up set.. And I said oh wow I need to create a card and dug through my scrap box (it's big) and found these scraps. Now to find a card base with that color.. found it. so I stamped and fussy cut the flowers and leaves. I used a zig zag die for the steam and used the Simon Says smile die which I stacked to make it sturdy.. I really like how it came out.

Theme: Hugs and Kisses


This was a fun card to create. I did a different scene and hated it so a day later I redid the scene and like it so much more. I used Ranger ink and my cloud template to create the sky. I stamped the My favorite thing pigs and flowers and colored with copics. I die cut the grass (MFT) from scraps. I saw this XOXO stamp from Simon Says and it had the years as one stamp so I used those. I then created the scene. I layered it on a piece of deep purple card stock and then a piece of DCWV dp
