11/29/22 - Less is More #478 - Happy Birthday

Happy Tuesday! Today’s card is a DT submission at Less is More challenge -Theme challenge (outdoor). I created this clean and simple card for any golf lover. To make the card pop a little bit, I sponged Balmy Blue behind the golf ball to give it more dimension. This card is definitely easy to duplicate if you would like to just switch up the sentiment to Thank You and such. I hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today.

11/29/2022 - Cardz 4 Guyz #310 Birds - Happy Christmas

Welcome back to another challenge here at Cardz 4 Guyz and this week we are making card with Birds as element. I don’t have any bird stamp set so I have to be creative with this challenge. I have tiny birds die cut from Beautiful Tree Dies so I thought hey, that will work. I cut out the tree image with Whisper White and adhere onto a DSP that already has a wonderful wintery background. I added the 2 red birds, a sentiment and a ribbon to finish this quick and easy card! This will be a great one to duplicate for sure if you are short on time. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you will join us at the challenge!

11/21/2022 - Make My Monday #188 Things with Wings - Posted for You

Welcome back to another challenge here at Make My Monday and this week we are making Things with Wings and I pulled out Posted for You and picked the image with the birdies. I colored the image in with 2 colors and added Wink a Stella on the bird. I also used the Postage Punch along with the coordinating cardstock for layering. For some fun interest, I added the Gold/Vanilla 3/8 Edged Ribbon and I think it really make the card pop! I left the sentiment blank because I think it’s prefect for any occasion. I hope you enjoyed the card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge!

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

To make winter not too cold or miserable, I created this cute penguin enjoying himself at the sled, with EYE closed!

Welcome back to another challenge here at Card 4 Guyz and this week we are making Poppies/Remembrance card and this is what I came up with.
