Alphabet challenge - happy birthday

Friday October 2, 2026

Hello

We have a new challenge over at

Alphabet challenge 

Theme: L - for little kids

This was a fun card to create.. I've used this wood stamp so much that I've worn off the name of the company. It's an old stamp and I love it. I stamped her and used copics to color. I used My favorite things circle die and added her to Basic grey designer paper. I added twine and added the happy birthday and Stampin up flowers. I added a little diamond drill to the flower center.

Cardz 4 Galz #286 - happy birthday

Wow October already.. How time flies

We have a new challenge over at

Cardz 4 Galz #286

Theme:  Easel card

I wanted to make a different kind of easel card so I of course went to You Tube.

this is the card I made. Using Stampin up card stock, Basic Grey designer papers. The embossed piece is Cuttlebug embossing folder and swiped Ranger ink over it to tone down the orange of the cardstock. I used Spellbinder die to cut out the front pieces and Stampin up dragonfly and colored it with copics.

With the card open in the easel position I thought the inside needed something so using the same Basic Grey pad I chose this foliage print that I thought went with the dragonfly image.  You really don't want to see the sentiment on the inside so this made a better view.. I do think if I make it again I would put the stop strip higher up so the card would be open more to enjoy the inside piece.  The back of the card I put a white piece to add your greeting to.. I didn't think you needed a picture of that. 

This was a fun card to create..  Thank goodness for YT

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.
