4/26/24 - Sending Love & Big Hugs

Happy Friday! It’s been awhile since I made a card for other challenges. I combined a few and made this Sending Love & Big Hugs card using some retired items as well as *soon to be* retire Sending Smiles bundle! This bundle was one of my favorite and caught my eye early on when catalog came out so I gotta have it. It’s very versatile and the dies are great, it even has shapes that fits the sentiments. Azure Afternoon is a color that came out last year with the new SU catalog and I never USED it. Finally placed an order to get some cardstock and finally using it on a card. I hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and hope you get to create this weekend.

4/24/2024 - Christmas Craft Creation April 2024 - Non-Traditional Colors - Wild Wheat

Welcome back to CCC – Christmas Craft Creation and this month we are making non-traditional Christmas colors. The main colors that I want to point out on this card is the dark yellow/mustard colors that’s something we normally don’t see but when it paired it with the dark green/red it actually goes together! I also did a showcase on the DSP and this is such an easy layout to showcase your wonderful paper. Hope you can join us at the challenge.

4/23/24 - Circle Saying - Graduation/Congratulation Card

 Hi everyone - today I am sharing a batch of cards that I created for John. He needed some graduation card for those PhD students and this is what I can up with.  Since there are both Men/Women graduating and I a not sure how many of each genders, I used the most neutral colors and added some red DSP just in case. The sunshine image are colored in with Watercolor Pencils with Blender Pen and Aqua Painter and I used some fun circle dies for the layering. This stamp set and coordinating punch is on sales right now as last minuet items from the Annual Catalog, be sure to grab them if you like it!

4/22/2024 - Make My Monday#224 International Jazz Day - Piano with Classic Label Punch

Welcome back to another bi-weekly challenge here at Make My Monday and this week the theme is International Jazz Day and I made a piano card for this challenge. Sadly I no longer have any guitar/music dies so I have to be creative for this challenge. I saw a video from Tammy White and decided to CASE it. I happened to still have the Label Punch that I can use. My Basic Black piece is 5 x 3/1/2” and then layering Sweet Sorbet piece is bigger than that. I finished the card with a ribbon and a sentiment. I enjoyed making this card and I hope you will take the time to join us at the challenge.

4/18/2024 - Cardz 4 Galz #223 Movie Madness - Bee Mine Hello

Welcome back to another bi-monthly challenge at Cardz 4 Galz and this week we are using Movie Theme to make our card! I have to google (I KNOW!) what movie are related to the stamp set I have and I found the Bee Movie (cartoon). Sadly I’ve never watched it before but I guess now I would! I used the Stitched with whimsy Dies to create an irregular borders to give it some texture. The strips of DSP is cut ¾” x 3 ½”, which you can adjust to your liking. I also used Vellum for the wings and underneath put a cardstock for layering. Hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge.

4/16/2024 - Cardz 4 Guyz #345 CAS (Clean & Simple) - Brewed for You

Welcome back to another bi-monthly challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz and this week we are making CAS – Clean & Simple card! To me, CAS is lots of space, a major focal point and not a lot of layering. I used a die from Build a Milkshake as a template to sponge a little background and the 2 beers are stamp and die cut out, to put on a layering circle piece. Brewed for you and the coordinating dies are retiring soon, so be sure grab it by end of the month! Thank you for stopping by and be sure to join us at the challenge.
