Yellow & black sympathy card

 Hi all, 

I finally took some time to pull out my foiling machine and play. It's been awhile since I have used it, but it's so fun to play with and the results are so cool. The card I am sharing was made with black foil from a foil plate made by Scrapbooking Made Simple. I foiled the black on yellow card stock and cut the image down with an arch die. I gave it a simple black border with the arch die and popped up the foiled flowers onto the background for a little dimension. I used a black vinyl sticker for the words and also popped those above the arched image.  I am submitting this into two challenges:

Color Hues challenge 135 - yellow and black

TGIF challenge 583 - Popping it up

This is also part of the bingo challenge for the Canadian Card challenge for May and June that I will hopefully submit on time.

Thanks for stopping by.

Color Hues Green & Purple Thank you card

 Hello again, 

I want to share a second card I made this long weekend. This one was inspired by the color hues challenge #133 using Lime Green and Purple. I decided to make a Thank you card for the TGIF challenge #577. The DSP is from an old stack from K & Company. The flower is from a 3D embossing folder from Memory Box called Breezy Bouquet that includes a die cut for the center flower. I'm afraid my picture doesn't show the colors very vibrantly, but I like how the card came out in the end. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Wedding Day May 2026

 Hi everyone, 

It's the Victoria Day long weekend here, so I managed to get in some good crafting time.

I made a cute wedding card for the Tic Tac Toe challenge #992.  I went down the left side of the board with Wedding, Floral, and Pink. I also used the sketch from Try a sketch on Tuesday (TSOT) #695 for inspiration and Double Trouble challenge #216, with optional wheel challenge using the car.

For this card, I used Dreamerland Crafts rubber stamp, Wedding Nuptials. I colored the image with alcohol markers. I used Echo Park Paper Co. Wedding DSP and added some pink pearls.

Freshly Made sketch 734 - Baby boy

 Hi all, 

I made some time this weekend to play in my craft room. I didn't have a specific plan so I looked at some challenges to play with. I found the Freshly Made Sketch # 734. I am supposed to be working on a diaper cake now, so I was hoping a baby card would inspire me to work on my order, but alas, I'm still not working on it. Here is my entry:

I hope everyone had a delightful weekend. 

Cheers!

Coral & Green challenge for Mother's day

 Hello everyone, 

I have made a few different cards lately, but I have not posted any of them. My family has been my priority lately.  I wanted to join a challenge to keep my momentum going when I am home, so I chose to work on the Color Hues challenge # 131 - Coral & Green.  My coral looks more orange in the picture, but I hope it will do. I made a CAS Mother's day card. The flower and frame die I used is from Spellbinders.

I hope to post the other cards I have been working on soon. Stay tuned and have a great day.

#FMS726

 Good day everyone, 

I had some time to finish a card finally.  I worked on three different ones yesterday. This one is for a sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches # 726.  I picked up a few new embossing folders from Spellbinders recently and thought I would give them a test run. These are the first 3D ones I've played with in my machine. It took a bit to figure out the sandwich that works for my machine.  I think with a tiny bit more time, I can master it. The "for you" part didn't come out as defined as I would like but that could be how it is. I look forward to keep playing with it.

 

Thanks for stopping by to visit.  Have a great day!

Green, Red, and Turquoise

 Good evening everyone, 

I was working on Christmas cards, but I have a few upcoming birthdays, so I switched my focus for a few hours. I was fortunate enough to come across some great card challenges for inspiration. I started with the color challenge from TGIF challenges.  Number 554 is to use Real Red, Coastal Cabana, and Granny Apple Green. I knew I had paper somewhere that could match these colors but I had no idea it would fit so well with the birthday theme I needed.

 My sketch inspiration came from Freshly Made Sketch #715.  I am also submitting this to the Just Add Ink Challenge #775 which is Celebration.

    

  

I hope my friend likes her card. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers.
