1/31/25 - Heart Shaped Bundle

Last card of the month is using 3 different popular online challenge sites and they all happen to be the ones I visited the most. I created a card using the current SAB bundle called Heart Shaped Bundle which you can get for every $120 spend. This one caught my eye right away when I was looking at the offerings. I cut out a gold piece of heart shape because there are some gold spots on the DSP. To make sure there are contrast, the flowers are die cut out from White since the background circle are Melon Mambo. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

1/29/25 - Freshly Made Sketch #671 - Ocean Friends

Today’s card is using Freshly Made Sketch challenge – I was particuarly drawn to Narelle F’s card of using Ocean Friend and decided to give it a try as well. I used the wavy dies with the DSP and cut out some waves and stamped the bubbles of waters and also sponge the cardstock with Stampin’ Brush. I really like how it turned out and I hope you enjoyed the card as much as I do.

1/23/25 - Cardz 4 Galz #242 Anything but a Square - Fun Fold with Mediterranean Blooms

We are making Anything but a square card at Cardz 4 Galz and this is what I came up with! I decided not to have any kind of square elements on the card so I found this fun template Here to create a unique fold card. This is a great way to showcase and use up some of your Designer Series Paper. I make sure contrast patterns are used on the card so they don’t conflicts with each others. The big lemon is cut out from the DSP itself so this card has no stamping at all. I hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge.

1/22/25 - Try Stampin' On Tuesday #662 - Submarine Life with Ocean Friends DSP

Happy Hump Day! Today’s card is using Try Sketch on Tuesday Challenge – it’s been awhile since I participated so it’s good to be back. The sketch calls for 3 circles but instead, my main focal point is a submarine and the 2 other circles are the water bubble and coral. This card is also going to be a birthday card for a little girl who is turning 7 in February. The paper is from another bundle – Ocean Friends so I am really happy that it’s perfect for the submarine. Thanks for stopping by.

1/21/25 - Cardz 4 Guyz #364 Lighthouse

Happy Tuesday and welcome back to another challenge here at Cardz 4 Guyz and this week we are making Lighthouse card. I don’t owe anything related to lighthouse so I asked someone in my Secret Sister group to send me some die cuts so I can create for this challenge. All the pieces she sent was white so I used Stampin’ Blends to color it in and adhered to the piece of DSP that kind of resembles cloud. I hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing with you and be sure to join us at the challenge,
