6/30/2022 - Cardz 4 Galz #176 Triangle - May Your Day

 Welcome back to another challenge here at Cardz 4 Galz and this week we are making card with Triangle elements! I couldn’t find any dies/mask/paper with Triangle so I decided to just cut my designer paper INTO triangles! I picked a DSP that I wanted to use and cut diagonally across from both end and flip over the design to put on a piece of Whisper White. I used the Heart Punch Pack for the heart in the middle and added a sentiment from Gumball stamp set and a ribbon tucked behind it. I hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and join us at the challenge using the dimension I have below.

6/28/2022 - CASEing the Catty Sunday Challenge - Windmill

Today’s quick card (but not sure quick to make) is using CASEing the Catty Sunday Challenge – using the favorite retiring product from Jan – June 2022 Mini Catalog. I used the Windmill Dies since it was on sales for HALF off and I thought maybe I can just create card with the dies and this is exactly what I did. All the die cuts you see here are from the dies. I used Fresh Freesia Re-Inkers with Aqua Painter for the flowers. I think I need to coordinate a little better for the colors of Windmills. 😊

6/27/2022 - Global Design Project/Sunday Stamps - A Card to Say Hello

Happy Monday! Today’s card is using Sunday Stamps (sketch) and Global Design Project (color) challenges. I used the 2022-2024 In-Colors DSP stack for the big panel in the middle and paired with cardstock. The flower pieces are cut out with Sending Dies and added Gold Pearls to give a pop factor for the card. I also stamped the sentiment as the same color as DSP.

6/24/2022 - TGIF/CAS/Just Add Ink - Thank You (with Shaded Summer)

Happy Friday! Today’s card is using 3 challenges (see below) and I started the card by picking Fresh Freesia as the color scheme and I stamped the floral image on the cardstock to create a tone on tone effect and decided to stamped the sentiment on Whisper White so it’s more visible. I also think it’s a little to PALE so I finished the card with White Dots toward the bottom of the card. I hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today!

Today’s creation is using The Card Concept and Freshly Made Sketch.  With the picture as inspiration, I decided to use Bottle of Happiness stamp set for this.
