Alphabet challenge

Friday August 8, 2025

Hello 

We have a new challenge over at 

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.

I used Quick quote designer paper which is beautiful and took a scrap that happened to go well with it and stamp the Stampers anonymous in Stampin up ink and went around the edges with Ranger after I used a Spellbinder rectangle die. I added a few diamond drill left over from a diamond painting I've done.

Hello.. Hope your July is going good and you're doing something fun and that you love to do. 
It's hard to believe August is almost here. 
I am not ready for summer to be over.. 

We have a new challenge over at

Theme: Masculine card


This is another card I made at my friends house that is a Stampin up kit. She orders the pumpkin kits.. I think that's the name and it comes with pieces to make a bunch of cards. It has a little square ink pad and a few stamps and embellishments.. it's really a nice way to go if you need something quick without thinking. The cards are double sided so she cuts them down the center so you get twice as many cards to create. I though this is a nice masculine card. The birds and sentiment were stamped the rest is already done, The blue is vellum you put over the blue that was already there.. I think you could save the blue and use it on another plain card base and create with it. Anyhow this is my masculine card. 

Challenges:
Simon Monday - summertime blues
Krafty chicks #778 - for the boys
