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.

Cardz 4 Galz #284 - Merry Christmas

Thursday September 3, 2026

Hello

We have a new challenge over at

Cardz 4 Galz #284

Theme: Interactive - any kind

I knew what I wanted to make but didn't know how so I just created. It works but not as pleased as I would like to be....

I cut a strip out of the card front. I then stamped the Simon Says trees and snowflakes with Stampin up ink. I added some ink to the ground for snow. I had a stamp I think for Rubber baby buggy bumpers that was hills so stamped that in the snow so look like mounds. 

I cut the bear out of white dp and the bear is an Amazon die. He's so cute. I stamped the Merry Christmas on a scrap strip and added it for the pull piece. I added the bear to this piece. I used a Marvy punch to cut the half circle for the pull area. I added this to a card base.  It works.. lol  

                                                This shows the bear sliding over

Cardz 4 Galz #283 Happy Birthday

Thursday August 20, 2026

Hello

We have a new challenge over at

Cardz 4 Galz #283 

Theme: Kraft and Blue

This was a fun card to create. Again I chose to use paper colors vs. copic coloring.  The products are Stampin up. The happy birthday ??? no idea but I like it.  I chose some different blues to work with and die cut the images and laid out different ways and came to liking this layout best. I added the white pieces as it felt like it needed more to fill in the gaps. I added the ribbon and the bling. I added it to a dark blue base.

Thursday August 6, 2026

Hello

It's time for a new challenge over at

Cardz 4 Galz #282

Theme:  Blue Skies

For my card I used Ranger ink and created the ground and used Rubber seed grass stamp and Stampin up ink.  I stamped the branch and it's an old wood block and no name now.. I colored it in with colored pencils.  I then stamped the Stampin up kitty and coloring in the heart with colored pencils. I used my cloud template and Ranger ink to create the sky.  I wanted to bring in the pink from the heart so I saw a strip of pink card stock in my scrap box and cut a couple strips and adhered behind the piece. I added this to a card base. I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set.

Hello

Cardz 4 Galz #281

Theme:  word inspired rainbow

I used my friends Rainbow die from Stampin up and thought the designer paper behind from DCWV was perfect for color.. The stamped sun and fun sentiments from the Simon Says set.. I love how this came up and not having to color the inside pieces.. There are also dies to cut the inside rainbows so you can get a cool design using card stock.. him I may have to buy this die set.

Theme:  For a friend / friendship

I hardly ever use a stamp like this.. meaning not coloring with my copics but I am liking this just using the ink as a background and stamp the open image on it.. I added the diamond drills and sentiment. I also stamped the background card stock with a foliage stamp. I like how it came out.

Cardz 4 Galz #273

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..

Theme: A splash of green

This card was in a Stampin up Pumpkin kit.. It was fun to put together. (there were other cards to create in the kit) The only think I stamped with the to Celebrate message.. the rest is already done. It's just a matter of punching out the Happy and adding the bling.. I like cards like this when you need a break from thinking and creating something from scratch.

Theme: Embossing - wet or dry

This is one of my favorite embossing folders.. I was thinking of what else can I emboss it on. I did the copper card stock and love how it came out.. the lights give it the rainbow colors as I was taking the photo. I didn't want to cover much so I kept the sentiment simple.

February 19, 2026

Hello

We have a new challenge over at

Cardz 4 Galz #270

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.

Cardz 4 Galz #269 

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

Theme: Country Scape

I really thought about this card.. I guess we all have ideas what a country scape looks like.. If I look out my windows from the north and south.. This is what I see.. We live out in the country. Yes there are  fields all over, but we are surrounded by hills, evergreens and mountains.. I live in Washington State..

So when I saw this Stampin up Pumpkin kit  I know I had to make this card.
