Theme: Spring flowers

I had fun creating this card but unfortunately it was for a loss in the family. This card has already been sent out.  

I die cut the the leaves and flowers and using Ranger ink added the colors to the dies. It was fun laying out the scene and I used a Paper trey ink sentiment and added a little color so it wasn't stark white. I die cut these images over at a friends house and for some reason I did not write down the company.. but most of her products are from Gina K..

I found this DCWV piece and so just added it to a black card base. I have a stamp from Stampin up that has a sheet of sentiments and the die that cuts them all at one tine .

Cardz 4 Guyz #384 

Theme: Color change / light blue and brown

I was visiting my Stampin up friend and created this card with her supplies.. We always have fun creating and I like crafting with her over at her house cause she doesn't like to color, so it gives me different looks. When I craft at home I usually end up coloring with copics.

Hello

We have a new challenge over at

Crafty Catz #709

Theme: Anything goes

I know it's kinda a winter card but some of us are still in the winter weather and I just thought this little guy needed to be used before I lost him. I stamped my friends snowman/person.. and I fussy cut it out and never used and as I was clearing my table I saw it and thought why not make it work... I love the ATG theme,, 

I stamped the Sheena design holly leaves around the card. I colored with copics. I added a little 
Ranger around the edge.. I then took the die cut arms and hat and the hat I used a white and silver pen and just doodled on it to make the ball tassel and the brim of the cap.. I used Ranger and a brush to give the snowman a little shading. I adhered the hat and arms. I found this Reverse confetti sentiment and stamped it and then added the snowman. I added this piece to a card base.

Hello

Alphabet challenge

Theme: W - wild flowers

I love wild flowers.. I love picking them on walks.. Living out in the country we have snap dragons on back roads and other such wild flowers.. This kinda reminded me of some I picked or loved to look at and smell, making sure a bee wasn't close by. I stamped the green base with the same doily stamp that I did on the white piece...  I stamped and die cute the flowers and ribbon.. I thought it needed a comforting sentiment.

Sparkes Christmas #182 - Thinking of you

March 1, 2026

Hello

We have a new challenge over at 

Sparkles Christmas #182

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.

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
