5/30/25 - My Time To Craft #551 Arch - Florals in Blooms with Arch Die

Today at My Time To Craft we are making Arch style card and I am very happy to be the host for this challenge. I used the Arch Dies from Stampin up to create this card. The cardbase is Basic Gray and I used the Floral Blooms DSP and the coordinating stamp set. I guess the only bad thing is that it won’t stand up itself! Thanks for stopping by and be sure to join us at the challenge.

5/22/25 - The Card Concept #217 - Double Z Fold Card for Year of Flowers

Today’s card is with The Card Concept Challenge #217 (Patriotic Décor). It’s hard when you need to come up with a Red/White/Blue card that is not for 4^th of July or Memorial Day. I wanted to challenge myself so this is what I came up with. I saw a Double Z Fold Tutorial and wanted to give it a try (Yes, I am in the fun fold land lately!). Tami White had a tutorial and I followed her easy instructions for this Happy Birthday card. It’s easy to make so I will definitely try with other bundles in the future!

5/21/25 - Sunday Stamps #360 - Split Panel for Pretty Floral

Today’s card is using Sunday Stamps Color Challenge. I’ve been in the mood to make fun/easy folds so I haven’t done this one (split panel) in a while so glad to be able to find a challenge for it. Cardbase is 11” x 8 ½” and score at 4 ¼”. Depending on how big you want the panel to be, you can cute down to the size of liking. For me. I make a cut at 1 ¼” so I can use the middle panel piece for the center. Per color challenge, I added a flower with Night of Navy and Balmy Blue for the challenge. Happy Hump Day!
