4/22/2024 - Make My Monday#224 International Jazz Day - Piano with Classic Label Punch

Welcome back to another bi-weekly challenge here at Make My Monday and this week the theme is International Jazz Day and I made a piano card for this challenge. Sadly I no longer have any guitar/music dies so I have to be creative for this challenge. I saw a video from Tammy White and decided to CASE it. I happened to still have the Label Punch that I can use. My Basic Black piece is 5 x 3/1/2” and then layering Sweet Sorbet piece is bigger than that. I finished the card with a ribbon and a sentiment. I enjoyed making this card and I hope you will take the time to join us at the challenge.

4/18/2024 - Cardz 4 Galz #223 Movie Madness - Bee Mine Hello

Welcome back to another bi-monthly challenge at Cardz 4 Galz and this week we are using Movie Theme to make our card! I have to google (I KNOW!) what movie are related to the stamp set I have and I found the Bee Movie (cartoon). Sadly I’ve never watched it before but I guess now I would! I used the Stitched with whimsy Dies to create an irregular borders to give it some texture. The strips of DSP is cut ¾” x 3 ½”, which you can adjust to your liking. I also used Vellum for the wings and underneath put a cardstock for layering. Hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge.

4/16/2024 - Cardz 4 Guyz #345 CAS (Clean & Simple) - Brewed for You

Welcome back to another bi-monthly challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz and this week we are making CAS – Clean & Simple card! To me, CAS is lots of space, a major focal point and not a lot of layering. I used a die from Build a Milkshake as a template to sponge a little background and the 2 beers are stamp and die cut out, to put on a layering circle piece. Brewed for you and the coordinating dies are retiring soon, so be sure grab it by end of the month! Thank you for stopping by and be sure to join us at the challenge.

4/15/2024 - Atlantic Hearts Sketch #573 - Filled with Happiness with 2022-2024 In-Colors

Today at Atlantic Hearts Sketch, we have a fun sketch for you, that I turned it into a vertical orientation card for you. I know I want to use the Filled with Happiness stamp set (soon to be retired) so I *NEED* to make the sketch works for me, hahahha. So instead of the horizontal sketch, I made it into a vertical sketch by turning the sentiment. I used mostly the 2022-2024 In-colors, the DSP, the cardstock and the coloring. I first stamped the whole image onto Tahitian Tide and then just the bird image onto White and punch it out to adhere onto the Tahitian Tide piece. Hope you enjoyed this card and let’s be creative and join us at the challenge!

4/15/2024 - Sparkles Challenge #175 Flowers - Bottle of Happiness Sending a Little Message.

Welcome back to our monthly challenge here at Sparkles Challenge and this month I am the host and we are making Flower cards! I continue to use as much soon to retire items from the 2023-2024 Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog as possible. The Bottle of Happiness comes with a coordinating punch that you can make into a shaker’s card. On this card I used a bit non-traditional flower colors – Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party. I wished I didn’t stamped the bottle with Basic Gray, a bit too dark. I hope you enjoyed this cared I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge.

Happy Thursday! Finally a blog post that’s not for design team! Today’s card is using As You See It #320 but sadly I missed the deadline! I am also submitting this to The Crafty Addicts to the design team application. The card used all of the 2022-2024 in-colors, before they retired for good! I used the small flower image to stamp across the card and added some sequins for interests. Hope you enjoyed the card!
