Welcome back to another bi-weekly challenge here at Cardz 4 Guyz and this week we are making Festive Creatures for Holidays and of course I have to pull out my Penguin Punch! He is just so adorable and it’s a great way to make lots of cards in one setting, just by punching out all the elements and do it as a assembly line. I used a really cute sentiment to finish the card and with a layer of Designer Series Paper. I hope you enjoyed this card and remember to join us at the challenge.

11/16/2023 - Cardz 4 Galz #212 Embossing (Dry/Wet) - Happy Birthday

Happy Thursday! Today at Cardz 4 Galz challenge we are doing Embossing (Dry/Wet) Card. Dry Embossing is what I consider an easy pop factor that you can use on a card beside embellishment. It just give fun texture and background to your card. I embossed my White cardstock and adhered some Designer Series Paper as another background before the cup cake image. Hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge.

11/11/2023 - Less is More #496 CAS Anything Goes - Bee Mine Love You

Hi crafters, welcome back to another challenge here at Less is More and this week we are making Clean and Simple (CAS) card! What is CAS you asked? Well, it’s mostly 1 layer/no layer card with minimal stamping and embellishment and something you can definitely make in less than 3-5 minuets. I used the painter’s tape to block off a section and sponge some Balmy Blue around it. The image then is stamped with Memento Black, although I think Stazon Black might work a bit better. The images are from the new Bee Mine Bundle which will come out in January 2024 with Stampin’ Up. Hope you enjoyed this card and let’s share your creation with us!

11/6/2023 - Make My Monday #213 Light The Way - Happy Birthday

Happy Monday and Happy Fall! Welcome back to another bi-weekly at Make My Monday and this week we are making Lighting the Way card (Candles, Lights…etc). I decided to make a Birthday Card using some Designer Series Paper. I am not good at free cutting the flames but from Songbird Punch, there is a wing image that coordinate with the punch and it’s perfect as a flame/fires so I used that with some Crushed Curry cardstock – Easy Peay! This is also a great way to use up some of those smaller strips of paper! I hope you enjoyed the card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge!

Happy Thursday! We are officially in November and it’s the season of being thankful so today’s creation for Cardz 4 Galz is Thank You/Thankful/Thanksgiving card!
