Hi everyone – welcome back to 2025 and our first challenge of the year at Cardz 4 Girls and this week we are making cards using Stenciles.

1/7/25 - Cardz 4 Guyz #363 Tic Tac Toe - Meow = Thanks with Pets & More.

We are back at Cardz 4 Guyz and this is the first challenge of the year and we are using the fun tic tac toe to create a card! I am going down the row and picked Animal / Testure / Brown and created a Meow Thank You card. This is semi- CASE from the sample at Stampin’ Up. I uesd the letter dies and put Meow = Thanks in cat language of course, haha. And the kitty is stamped and cut out with 2 fishes as snacks. I also added some brown sequins for some texture. What do you think?! Did I used all the elements? I hope you can join us at the challenge and have a great year with us!

1/6/25 - Atlantic Hearts Sketch #611 - Happy Birthday with Cheerful Daisy

Happy Monday and welcome back to the first challenge of there year here at Atlanti Hearts Sketch! Today I am sharing a birthday card to kick off the challenge. I saw a similar layout on Pinterest and decided to kind of CASE it. The big piece of the floral image is cut out with White and it really pops on top of 2 layers of color DSP. The sentiment is also stamped on the muted DSP which I really like that since the paper all kind of coordinate. To finished the card I added some sequins. Hope you enjoyed this card and remember to join us at the challenge!

1/5/25 - Dragonfly Challenge Jan. 2025 Pink/Purple Colors - Painted Lavender Thanks

Happy first Sunday of the month and this is my first creation with Dragonfly Challenge as a Design Team Member! For this month we are making card with Purple/Pink colors and this is what I came up with. I use the current 2 new in-colors, Petunia Pop and Lady in Pink for this card. For some reason the stamped butterfly didn’t realy matched the DSP, perhaps it’s too juice. But I still hope that this card gives you some inspiration and that you will join us at the challenge.

1/1/25 - The Male Room #194 Clean & Simple - Happy Birthday with Pets & More

Happy New Year and welcome back to the first The Male Room Challenge and we are kicking it off with CAS – Clean and Simpe card! What’s considered Clean & Simple? Well, usually it means one focal image with lots of white space but everyone’s definition is different. I came up with this card after seeing an example on Pinterest. I put a layer of vellum underneath the empty circle and put a cute cat and his food, fishes next to it. Who says that guys can’t like cats and receive a cute animal card! I hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge.
