5/3/26 - Dragonfly Challenge May 2026 (Use Die Cuts) - Capturing Smiles,

Happy first Sunday of May at Dragonfly Challenge - this month we are making cards with Die Cuts and I used the Capturing Smiles from Online Exclusive for the challenge. I stamped the mini camera image onto the 2 tone cardstock, along with black film strips and this other film thingy (gosh, I don't even know what it is!) I put it all on top of a bright yellow DSP from Boardwalk Fun. I thought the blue hearts would be fun as well, rather than the typical red/pink heart. I hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge. 

Challenge: May 2026

Stamps: Capturing Smiles, 

Colors: Black, 

Papers: White, Black, Boardwalk Fun DSP, Blueberry Bushel, Shy Shamrock, Pool Party,

This is such a great way to use up a lot of your DSP and even scraps too. I hope you enjoyed this card and be sure to join us at the challenge.

4/24/26 - Color Dare Challenge #701 - Thanks Card

Welcome back Friday and another challenge here at ColorDare and today I used the 2^nd half of the diagonal piece from THIS POST (3/19/26) to create another card. Also check out 4/2/26 post. Because of the directional piece, I placed is on the top right this time and adhered a cardstock for the middle. Still used the Arch Dies and created a Thank You card. Can you see that instead of the RED, I did a twist and used the Glimmer Paper? Hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today an be sure to join us at the challenge.

4/21/26 - Cardz 4 Guyz #385 CAS - Cutest Crew Have the Best Day!

We are back on Tuesday at Card for Guyz for our monthly challenge and this month we are making CAS - Clean & Simple Card! Everyone's CAS card is different - lots of empty space, one focal point, minimal stamping/decoration/layers...etc. My CAS is easy to make and lots of open space and so I created a cute doggie card with Cutest Crew. This card is perfect for a kid's birthday card or any dog lover! The doggies are colored with Stampin' Blends with some shaded background and paw prints. Hope this card gives you some inspiration and please join us at the challenge.
