Do-Al(l)Creative #100 - blog hop - Happy Birthday

Tuesday April 1, 2025

Hello and Happy Blog-aversary to us

Do-Al(l)Creative #100

Theme: Spring like birthday

If you're doing the blog hop you should of come over to my blog from Anne's .. Hasn't the DTmade some awesome cards? Great inspiration...

 This is my card. I bought a layered stencil and die from Amazon awhile back and now I am using it. I wasn't sure of where to use the colors but I think it came out pretty nice considering I started with white card stock... I used the dies and they came out nice. I thought they would have a large white edge but they didn't. I even have a few flowers left over. I then was looking for a good background and came across this orange which looked great so but plain so I used a Stampin up embossing folder. I laid out the design and and was happy with it. I used a Stampin up sentiment and die and finished with some black diamond painting drills.. I went over the flowers lightly with Spectrum Noir Sparkle brush. I like it and think I will create some other color flowers.

Now it's on to Caroline's blog.. 

I hope you leave me some love and leave some love over at Caroline's blog..

The image is what I stamped when I was at a friends house and I don't know the name of the image but it's beautiful I think it's a Gina K image . That's why I stamped it.. lol.. I colored with Copics. I used My favorite things stitch die and cut the image and the green. I heat embossed the Simon Says sentiments. I used Nuvo drops on the top sprig. I added Taylored Expressions gems for the center of the flower and Spectrum Noir glitter brush over the petals. I added some diamond drills for extra bling.  I know she will love it..

Sunday December 1, 2024

Hello and Happy December 1st

We have a new challenge over at

Sparkles Christmas #167

Theme: Christmas song or carol

For my card  I saw this sentiment from Simon Says and thought lets do a different Christmas card.. I had water colored some papers awhile back and just put in a container.. I sometimes do this with paints that are just on my blending plate.. I figure I can use is some time or another.  So I took black card stock and used my Paul Reuban metallics and some white and splattered on the black.. Then set aside to dry and got out my watercolor strips and My favorite thing star dies and cut them. Then heat embossed the sentiment. I laid out the stars and the center one I used puffy dots. I like the way it came out. Hope it inspired you.
