4/29/25 - Cardz 4 Guyz #371 Water - Submarine Life

Tuesday is here again and we have a fun challenge for you at Cardz 4 Guyz and this week we are making Water related card. I created this unique fun fold card using Sumbarine Life – it’s currently on the last chance list if you still want it. I paired it with Ocean Friends DSP and I think it’s perfect to create a underwater scene card. I learned this fold from Megan L. I have a quick instruction below so you can pair it with the video. I hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge!

4/28/25 - Atlantic Hearts Sketch #627 - Thankful Garden, You Make a Difference

Happy Monday at Atlantic Hearts Sketch and today I created a special card for a dear friend who helped us organized a Secret Sister group. Instead of using the stamp set – Thankful Garden outline flower, instead, I just used the mask to create the floral image. I used 3 different shades of Yellow and 2 different shades of Green. To finish, I used a mask of the outline image and sponge it with Boho Blue, althugh the alignement was a little off. Thanks for stopping by and be sure to join us at the challenge.

4/21/2025 - Make My Monday #250 Wings - Paper Butterfly Accents

Hi everyone, welcome back to Make My Monday and this week we are making Things with Wings card. I picked out Paper Butterfly Accents from Stampin’ Up to use. This is soon to be retired so be sure to grab them if you like. (currently on sales too) I used Blending Brush with ink pads to color in the butterfly and used Night of Navy circle as a layering piece so the butterfly can really *pop*. To finish the card I added some sequins as well. Hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge.

Happy Friday everyone – todat at My Time to Craft we are making Circle Shape card. I actually created a stand for it so I can have it standing to display. Since there is no room to stamp a sentiment as I want to showcase the flower, I use the Alphbet die cut out a Hi for this and added a ribbon to finish. I hope you enjoy this card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge.

4/17/25 - Cardz 4 Galz #248 Art Deco - Geometric cards with Stitched Circle Dies

Hi Crafters! Today we are making Art Deco card with Cardz 4 Galz – the definition I got for Art Deco is Geometric, Streamlined, feature bold colors and symmetry so this is what I came up with. I used different shades of blue – MY FAVORITE colors, along with Stitched Circle Dies and glue them all together, from dark to light. Then I just cut it in half and glue them down, with the smallest circle touching the edges of each other. To finish I added a sentiment. Hope this gives you some ideas and inspiration to join us at the challenge!

4/15/25 - Cardz 4 Guyz #370 Fancy Fold - Tune In Bundle

Hi everyone – I am so happy that we are doing Fancy Fold at Cardz 4 Guyz, I always love an opportunity to create these type of cards as I don’t do it often. The card is using the left over piece (or another side) when I created a fun fold for my other challenge. (click HERE to see). So I just used the other side of the piece to create this fun card using the soon to be retired Tune In Bundle. I added an extra flap for the TV to be on. This is a fun set to create a retro TV. I hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge.

4/15/2025 - Sparkles Challenge #187 Weather - Sunny Day card with Hearts & Hugs die

Today’s card is with Sparkle Monthly Challenge and this month we are making *Weather* card! I don’t really have any related stamp set so I have to be a little creative here. I went with the cloud and create a scene of garden to represent good weather! I didn’t put any sentiments so it could be for any occasion! I hope you enjoyed this card and be sure to join us at the challenge.
