Welcome back to another bi-weekly challenge here at Make the Cards Challenge and this week we are making Washi Tape card!

9/12/2022 - Freshly Made #552/Tic Tac Toe #178 - Birthday Wishes

Happy Monday – a bit gloomy here in the Chicagoland area but sun should be here tomorrow. I am using Tic Tac Toe (Sentiment/Free/Any Shape Dies) and Freshly Made Sketch Challenge for today’s card. I saw soooo many awesome samples for the sketch and I wanted to give it a try. Instead of measuring the rectangle size, I just used the Deckled Dies from SU for this challenge. I used the punch for the sunflowers and the leaves are from another set of die. It’s subtle but I also used the embossing folder on the Whisper White Piece. I hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and check out the list below for the supplies.

Also – this Week’s Stampin Up Special

9/12/2022 - Make My Monday #183 Friendship - Good Friends are Forever

Welcome back to another week of challenge here at Make My Monday and this week we are making Friendship card! Now I am in my 40’s I know a few things about how hard a good friendship is to come by. I made this card for a dear friend that I’ve know since college. I used the Treasured Kindness stamp set and paired it with the Split Card Dies for this. Both the trunk and leaves are 2 step stamping therefore you can use 2 different shades of the same tone for it to create a shadow affects. I think the split card dies might be better if I used a solid color cardstock rather than DSP. I hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge!

9/9/2022 - As You See it / TGIF Challenge - Fall Thank You Card

Happy Friday! This is a short week but still felt very long! My parent went back to CA already and coming back at end of the September to join H’s birthday party in October. Today’s card is using As You See It Challenge & TGIF Challenge. The sketch is perfect enough for me to make this pumpkin card in just under 10 min! (I actually time it and it's 8 min 38 sec to be exact) I used the oval shape dies to create the pumpkin and tape a ribbon underneath for some interest. And since it’s a fall card, I decided to use the Thank You sentiment. The paper is last year’s selection of fall paper from Stampin’ Up. I hope you enjoyed my creation for today!
