1/29/2024 - Make My Monday #218 Use Your Pattern Paper - Bee Mine Bundle

Welcome back to another bi-weekly challenge here with us at Make My Monday and I am the hostess this time and we are making cards with Pattern Paper! I decided to create a shaker’s card with the Bee Mine DSP to show case Stampin’ Up’s paper is always awesome becaues it is double-sided. I also used some pearl balls with punch hearts for the shaker factor and finish the card with a cute bee and jar of honey – which is fuzzy cut out from the DSP as well! Hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge.

1/26/24 - My Time To Craft #526 Hobbies - Crafting with You Bundle Sending You Handmade Hug

Happy Friday! I am hosting another challenge this week at My Time To Craft and this time the theme is Hobbies! What are some of your hobbies beside card making? I also enjoyed reading, hiking and playing pool. Today’s card is using the tutorial I saw from Wendy Cranford and inspiration is Pinterest from Cindy. The bundle I used is Crafting with You and I think it’s perfect for the theme! The bundle has many images that related to hobbies (Sewing, painting, and of course, paper crafting) and I used the painter related images for this. I also have some tips/tricks at cutting the paper for this cute Center Step Card if you don’t have a SU trimmer that can guide you through cutting the way Wendy Did. Hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge.

DSP Strips – TWO 1” x 3” for the side, LONG piece is ¾” x 5 ¼”, CENTER is 3 x 2 ¾” or longer if you want it to touch the horizonal DSP

Cardstock – 5 ½” x 8 ½”           

• On 8 ½” side, score at 1”, 2” and 5 ¼” into the cardstock at 1 ¼” – this is done by both side
• Score at 4 ¼” only in the middle.
• On the short side, then cut from that square of 1” x 1 ¼” down to the other score line you did, 5 ¼”

1/23/2024 - Cardz 4 Guyz #339 No Balls Sports - Many Thanks with whistle

Todays’ challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz is a bit hard for me since I couldn’t find any sports related stamp set that I have so I have to be a little creative. The theme for this week is No Ball Sports and I decided to go with a whistle since some sports will need a referee and they will probably need a whistle right?! I kept the card very simple with the stamp set, ribbon and a DSP. It’s hard to see but the heart has Wink-a-Stella in it to make it sparkly. Hope enjoyed this card I am sharing today and you can also be creative and see what you come up with!
