Crafty Catz #718 - Congrats grad

Friday July 17, 2026

Hello

Before we go on summer break we have one more challenge over at

Crafty Catz #718

Theme: Anything goes

I made this card for my Great grandson as he graduated from high school. I used a club scrap stamp and very light ink and stamped a car on the far left. It's hard to see but he is so into his car thought it was perfect.

I used scraps of their school colors - Black and Red and cut strips and adhered to a piece of paper and then using Paper Trey Ink number dies cut it out.  I used Pretty Pink Posh cap and diploma and die cut out and added to the card. I finished with the sentiment. 

The inside had a couple of hearts from Simon Says dies as a little extra love and cut from scraps of the numbers piece.

Good day.. Hope you're having a beautiful day

We have a new challenge over at

Alphabet challenge 

Theme: B - butterflies 2 or more

I had this beautiful scrap piece from Stampin up and I didn't want to throw it away and it's so small - but I thought maybe I could make it work with this card. I took a piece of Stampin up card stock and embossed it with an old Sizzix folder. I added the Stampin up piece and then I die cut 3 butterflies from Tech Tues. I wanted colors that would look more for the dry weather climate. I have no idea if dry weather areas have butterflies  - sad if they don't have butterflies.

Hello and hope all is well

We have a new challenge over at 

Cardz 4 Guyz #367

Theme: Men's clothing

So thought hard on what to use then remembered I had accessories from the crazy bird collection from Tim Holtz.. So dug through scraps and stamped and die cut out.. Then how do I display these pieces and then remembered I had this die so I cut it out and added to a black scrap. I laid out the pieces. I used foam tape for the sentiment and hats. Rest are flat to card base. I like the way it came out..

I saw that paper from Pink Fresh Studio and thought it made for a perfect background. I stamped the Pretty Pink Posh images and used Prima watercolors.

Hello

I am back with another new challenge today over at

Do-Al(l) Creative #69

Our theme this month is

BACK TO SCHOOL

For my card I used Cosmo Cricket dp.. I stamped the Club Scrap sentiment. I then stamped and using Prima watercolors painted the kids. I used the dies and added them to the card. I thought it needed more so I stamped the glasses and apple. I colored the apple with copics and added the glasses to the little boy.  I chose the sentiment because there is always so much peer pressure in school / in life to follow others and in most cases it's not for the best... but it's best to be yourself, as long as you're doing right.

BOX CARD

Crafty ribbons

So I have never made one of these before so this was fun to watch U-tube and find one that Sandi MacIver had done that folds up to an A2 size. so it fits the standard !2 envelopes. 

I used some scraps of papers I had. Lil inker dies, Spellbinder dies, Pretty Pink Posh dies My Favorite Things dies, Stampin up punch (to create the candles cutting the banner in half) and Mama Elephant.  I used markers to give color to the balloons. I am looking forward to making the reminder box card for the 15th. This was fun. 

This is the back where the greeting will go.

THINK PINK

I thought.. ok Pink.. hum  So I had some of these Stampin up pieces cut and I just happen to find this pink in my large scrap box.. in fact there were two of them.. what. those shouldn't of been there but it worked out perfect. So I added the dies to the pink then thought now what... So I look at my stamps that had dies and saw these cute Pretty Pink Posh flowers. So stamped a few and colored with copics. I added some Spectrum Noir sparkle brush to them and then added them with foam dots to the card. I tried a few sentiments but nothing looked good for placement so left it blank. I finished with some left over diamond painting drills. (I have so many since I have been doing so many diamond painting kits.)
