9/27/2021 - Sunday Stamps - Happy Christmas

Happy Monday! Today’s card is using Sunday Stamps Sketch Challenge. I wanted to use one of my new favorite from the July – Dec 2021 SU Holiday Catalog, Delivery Cheers. There are multiple images to create a girl holding holiday cheers. This one I made it into a Christmas/Holiday cards. The bundles she is holding is coloring with 2 colors of Stampin’ Markers. All the images are using Markers since I don’t have a lot of colors in Stampin’ Blends. I paired it with the Penguin DSP from Sale A Bration. I hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today!

9/27/2021 - Make My Monday #158 Embossing Wet/Dry - Thank You

Welcome back to another week of challenge here at Make My Monday and this week we are doing Embossing (Dry/Wet). I found this technique that I wanted to try. First I stamped the image with Versamark on the Designer Series Paper and pour the black embossing powder over it. I think it gives it a really nice look when it’s on a designer paper but the trick will be that the background need to be the lighter color. I also did the same with the sentiment. To double the challenge, I also dry embossed the Whisper White background. Be sure to check out all DT’s creation and join us at the challenge, see you there!

Happy Friday – Today’s card is using Just Add Ink (Sketch) and TGIF Challenge (Inspiration). I used the Gather Together (one last time before I sell it) and coordinating dies for the pumpkin. I don’t have Stampin’ Blends for this color so I used the Stampin’ Markers to color it in. I would say most of the items I used are all retired but I am happy to be able to use up some of the items. Thank you for stopping by.

The frame of the sentiment is from a different die cut set and I wanted to see if using Misty Moonlight for the flower is better than Coastal Cabana. I hope you enjoyed this quick card I am sharing today and Happy Hump Day!

Today’s card is using 2 challenges – FB CASEing Tuesday & Global Design Project Color Challenge.

9/13/2021 - Make My Moday #157 Autumn/Fall Theme Card - Just For You

Welcome back to another week of challenge here at Make My Monday and this week we are making Fall/Autumn theme card. I kept the card very clean and simple again but just showcasing the Designer Series Paper and layer it on top of Early Espresso cardstock. A trick I wanted to share is that I die cut the tree image with the layering piece since a DSP is going on top of it and you can’t really see it, it’s a great way to save some paper! Then I finished the card with a sentiment and a ribbon. I hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and be sure to check out DT members’ creation!

9/9/2021 - Try Stampin' On Tuesday / CASEing the Catty Sunday - Love You, Friend

Sunny day here in Chicagoland. Today’s card is using FB – CASEing the Catty Sunday & Try Stampin’ On Tuesday. I paid up the new dies from Sale-A-Bration with the Pattern DSP for this wonderful card that you can send to a friend.
