Welcome back to another Make My Monday here and this week we are making our own background!

I sponge the White cardstock with Peach Pie  and then stamped the bag images around the frame. The dracula is colored in with Stampin’ Blends and cut out and put on a dimension.

Hi everyone – Happy Friday and welcome back to another bi-weekly challenge and this week we are making Spring Theme card. I saw a very cute sample on the internet and wanted to give it a try!

Then I sponge the background with light purple/light blue for the sky. To finish the card I added some butterflyaccents and a sentiment. I think this card will go to one of my customer!

Today at Cardz 4 Guyz we are adding Dry/Wet Embossing onto our card! I remember embossing folder as one of the first, easy fun techniques that I used very early on on my cards! I know it’s hard to see on this card but I emobossed the White cardstock with a subtle embossing folder and paired it with A Little Latte DSP. I used multiple designs from the DSP on this card, and all cut into 1” x 4” to start and trim to fit. I added a bold sentiment and colored it in with Stampin’ Blends. I really like how this card turned out and I hope you like it too! Remember to join us at the challenge and share your creation!

Happy Friday and welcome back to another bi-weekly challenge here at My Time to Craft and this week we are adding some textures onto our cards!

9/5/24 - Cardz 4 Galz #233 Squre - Birthday Wishes with Mediterranean Blooms

Happy Thursday and welcome back to our first challenge of the month at Cardz 4 Galz and this week we are making Squre card. Instead of doing a Square size card, I decided to just use the square elements on mine. I saw a cute sample on Pinterest (which it’s been so popular) and I wanted to give it a try. Each smaller square is 1 ¼” x 1 ¼” and the layering piece is 4” x 5 ¼”. The birthday greeting piece is die cut out with but you can always do a manual layering piece for 2 ½” x 2 ½”. The orange image is cut out from the designer paper as well as those smaller pieces. Since I didn’t get the coordinating stamp bundle with this paper, this is a great way to showcase and use the DSP. Hope I give you some inspiration on this challenge and be sure to join us!

9/4/24 - The Male Room #190 Fun Folds - Latte Love

Happy Hump Day and welcome back to another monthly challenge here at The Male Room and we are making Fun Fold Cards! I saw a diagonal fold from Meg Loven and decided to give it a try. You will have to score a full sheet of cardstock in half on both end (which is 4 ¼” and 5 ½”) and then cut from end to end to create this. For some reason I couldn’t get my cardstock to fit in my trimmer so I used an exacto knife for this. The DSP is 4” x 5 ¼” and then cut in half and then you can decorate as you prefer. I used the Latte Love bundle for this. The coffee mug is stamp, colored and die cut out. The French press is just with cardstock. Hope you enjoyed this card and be sure to join us at the challenge.
