7/28/23 - My Time To Craft #513 Shades of Blues - Timeless Arrangement

Happy Friday! Welcome back to another bi-weekly challenge here at My Time to Craft and this week we are making *Shades of Blue* card. Blue is one of my favorite colors (can you tell by my watermark?! Haha) so I was really happy to create this card to share with you. I used the 2022-2024 in-colors DSP as well as the cardstock for this card. Each stripe of DSP is cut down at 3 ½” x 15/16” or almost 1” and the White piece 5” x 3 ¾” for layering. The die cut flowers and sentiment are from the Timeless Arrangement Bundle, which I just love! To finish the card I added some pearls. Hope you enjoyed the card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge.

7/28/2023 - Cardz 4 Galz #204 Cats/Kitty - Scary Silhouettes

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another bi-weekly challenge here at C4Galz and this week I am hosting this challenge and it’s P for…. (I picked Paper and Paper Crafting!) I picked for another reason because it’s first letter of my first name! I recently bought the Inked Botanical DSP and I just wanted to keep using it because it’s so gorgeous. I followed a layout by Kitchen Stamper and the DSP (2x4 each strip) and I used the Crafting with You Bundle since it works perfectly for the theme of Paper Crafting – Big Shot, Rule and Scissor! I added a sentiment, some hearts and sequins to finish the card! I hope you like the card I am sharing and be sure to join us at the challenge!

7/25/2023 - Cardz 4 Guyz #327 On the Water - Bottle of Happiness Sending a Little Message

Welcome back to another bi-weekly challenge with Cardz 4 Guyz and this week we are making On The Water card! As you can see, I have to be creative again for the theme this week. I don’t have any watersport images nor any water flowers so I did the clever thing where the Bottle is on the water and sending the message to someone! I did a similar card there with the bottle dome but this time I just stamped the image and punch it and adhered it on the water beach scene that I’ve created. I hope you can join us at the challenge as well and show me a clever way to create this!

Welcome back to another bi-weekly challenge here at Atlantic Hearts Sketch and this week we have a wonderful sketch that I can showcase Timeless Arrangement bundle! I made the card into horizontal orientation and die cut out many of those layering flower pieces and 2 that I colored in with Stampin’ Blends. I added a warm sentiment that I think it will be perfect for a dear friend of mine. The layering Old Olive piece I made sure to embossed with a folder to give it some texture and added some sequins – it just looks so awesome.

7/22/2023 - Less is More #488 Theme Under the Sea - Vintage Bottle for message

Happy Saturday! Welcome back to another bi-weekly challenge here at Less is More and this week we are making *Under the Sea* card and I have to be creative for this. I don’t have any sea creatures stamp set so I though this bottle punch will be perfect for message in the bottle card and buried under the sea! I used Pool Party cardstock and used Bottle Punch to do a negative and use the dome with some pearl balls. The red paper message is just using the DSP with twine. I hope you enjoyed my creative way to create a theme for Under the Sea and I hope that you will use your imagination and creativity to create one, even if you don’t have a stamp set!

Happy Friday! Today’s card is using Try Stampin’ On Tuesday Sketch. I decided to go with the 2023-2025 In-Colors for this creation.

Welcome back to another bi-weekly challenge here at My Time to Craft and this week we are making *Summertime Water Play* card. I have to be creative with this card since I didn’t have any summer activities related stamp set but I did found a die cut with a fishing pole and I thought, hey – fishing is a fun summer activity, right?! I used Basic Black cardstock for the fishing pole image and simply just layer it on a rectangle white cardstock. I kept the card pretty clean and simple so it’s perfect for guy in our lives.

7/13/2023 - Cardz 4 Galz #203 Cats/Kitty - Scary Silhouettes

Hi crafters – welcome back to another bi-weekly challenge here for Cardz 4 Galz and this week we are making Cats/Kitten card. This was hard for me because I don’t have any cats stamp set but I was glad that I got this dies – Scary Silhouettes (Halloween Theme) during clearance and there is a cat image in it, so I decided to make a Halloween Card, I know, it’s way too early for that but I can still save this card for later! All the pieces are from the die cut and I punched out a 1” circle with cardstock and sponge it around the edges. Another detail I added is that I colored in the kitty’s eye with green markers, scary looking for sure! I hope you enjoyed my creation today and be sure to join us at the challenge.

Happy Saturday! Welcome back to another bi-weekly challenge here at Less is More and this week we are making B for Beach card!
