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!

Happy Hump Day! Today’s card is submitted at Inspired Create Challenge for using new items from the 2024 Mini Catalog / SAB brochure. I finally got my order so this is a perfect challenge for it. I used Filled with Happiness stamp set for this. I love how you can use the punch to punch out the inner image and make it pop by using different color of cardstock or coloring in the image. The paper is from one of the SAB offering and I added some Gems. Thanks for stopping by!
