Crafty Catz #720 - happy birthday

Friday September 25, 2026

Hello

It's time for a new challenge over at

Crafty Catz #720

Theme: Anything goes

This was a fun card to create. I love the doily behind the image and the gray / black designer paper. Living in the country it's awesome to go outside and hear chickens and roosters.. the roosters are always making their rooster sound.  The products for this are from Stampin up. I did very little coloring and probably should of made his comb red but just didn't.

Make my Monday #288

Theme: Pink card with a pink ribbon - for breast cancer month

For my card I used a Stampin up card base. I found this background sentiment over all stamp from Simon says and using Stampin up ink stamped it. I dug through my scraps and found some watercolor papers that I used for my July calendar page and used it for the hearts that the dies are from Stampin up. I didn't have any pink ribbon so I used twine and ran it through the SU ink I used for the background piece. I added to the card and some diamond painting crystal drills left over from a project.

Alphabet challenge - I'm in no shape to exercise

Friday September 18, 2026

Hello everyone

We have a new challenge over at

Alphabet challenge

Theme:  K - for Kitten (s)

I have a few of these cute stamps and thought it's the perfect time to use it. 

I stamped the kitten and colored with copics. I used 
Spellbinder die to cut it out. 

I cut a brown piece to add behind it and used my corner rounder on it and added a little Ranger ink around it. I found this designer paper and have no idea who it's by but I thought it worked with the image. I stamped the sentiment and it's pretty much smeared off the wooden block so sorry no idea who it's by. I used a My favorite things die cut it out and used some Ranger ink to soften the white.

Cardz 4 Galz #285 - happy birthda

Thursday September 17, 2026

Hello

It's time for another challenge over at

Cardz 4 Galz #285

Theme:  Fantasy - fairies, dragons, witches, wizards   

I won a few Lavinia stamps from Allsorts challenge awhile back and now finally using them.  First I used Ranger inks and created the background colors. I then used the fairy and the tree branch look that's on the right side of the card and stamped them. I used Posh impressions and added some leaves coming down from the top and a stamp to add grass to the bottom.  I added the sentiment from Simon says.  I finished with a white gel pen which I kinds wished I didn't after it was already too late. Oh I also added some Paul Reuban metallic splashes to the background. I like it but I learned some things I would do different.  I like what I did do though.
