6/30/2020 - Cardz 4 Guyz #248 Red, White & Blue - Happy Birthday

Welcome back to another week here at Cardz 4 Guyz – Red, White and Blue (provided by ME!). I don’t use a lot of Independence Day card so I’ve decided to make it into a birthday card using these colors. I first stamped the big circle in Night of Navy and then the smaller circle in Poppyseed Parade. Then I added a Happy Birthday sentiment but also used these 2 colors. To finish off, I added a layer of Night of Navy and adhere onto the cardstock. I hope you enjoy this quick and easy card today and be sure to check out everyone’s creation and join in for the challenge.

Happy Sunday – today’s card is using Sunday Stamps Sketch Challenge – Going in Circles, I decided to use the Way To Goat stamp set for these so I can stamp all 3 goat images and color them with Stampin’ Blends.

6/26/2020 - CAS(E) this Sketch - Let's Celebrate You

Happy Friday – today’s card is using CAS(E) this Sketch! I continue to use my new stuff from the 2020-2021 Stampin’ Up catalog. I stay true to the layout for this card and the circle layering piece I used the Vellum. Sunflower is color in with Stampin’ Blends, it is truly still the best at showcasing the shadows of the flowers. I did try something different this time around, I stamped the sentiment and cut it out the outline of the word. I hope you enjoy this quick card I am sharing today.

6/25/2020 - Freshly Made Sketches - Just a Note

Hi crafters – today’s card is using Freshly Made Sketches and this is what I came up with. I wanted to give all my newly stamps equal love so I used the Posted for You on todays’ card and paired it up with the Ornate Garden DSP. I don’t have Terracotta Tile  Blends so I ended up using the Rich Razzleberry Watercolor Pencil and Blender Pens to smooth out the line and created some depth in colors. As you can see, I am so in love with our Stitches dies that I have to use it all! I hope you enjoy this card I am sharing today. Please go out and enjoy the sunshine, it will truly make everyone feels hopeful about the current situation.

6/24/2020 - Tuesday Morning Sketch - You're Amazing

Happy Wednesday! Today’s card is using Tuesday Morning Sketch! Yet again, I am using the Flowering Blooms stamp set and I paired it up with time with the Peony Garden DSP. I know it’s really hard to see but I also decided to use Vellum with a punch to create a really fun and subtle border underneath the Basic Gary. I kept the sketch straight forward and very simple and elegant. To finish, I added a sentiment from the Ornate Thanks. Although You’re Amazing is suppose to pair up with So Grateful but I think it’s fine just use it by itself. Hope you enjoy this card today!

6/23/2020 - Try Stampin' On Tuesday - So Grateful

Happy Tuesday – today’s card is using Try Stampin’ On Tuesday Sketch. I really enjoyed this sketch as there are many ways to interpreted this and create many style of cards. I decided to go with the new goodies I got from SU – Ornate Thanks & Flowering Blooms. The coloring is done with Stampin’ Blends (although it’s a bit hard to see the shades). And I mostly used the colors on the DSP. It’s really awesome to have a coordinating dies for the stamp set so I don’t need to cut them out. I added a big sentiment and some pearls on the flower. I hope you enjoy this card I am sharing today.
