I love you - C4G #269

Hi!  It is time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  Our theme - probably because Valentine's Day is coming up - is "hugs and kisses."  

My image is a Sweet Pea digi from stash.  The sentiment is Die-versions I Love You with Sizzix Thinlits Essential Type "x" and "o."  The BG panel is DCWV Love & Wedding paper.  The flower is from my stash. 

We'd love to have you come play along at Cardz 4 Galz!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day! 

Minibus, Bulli, Kombi, or hippie van?

What do you call  a WV van?  They've had many nicknames over the years.  We say "Kombi" because that's what they call it in Brazil, and we saw them everywhere on our trip there a few years ago. :)   Anyway, my daughter loved them, and I found this die set and made her birthday card...  

My "Kombi" is Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers: Beach Bound.  It was a little fussy to make, but such a fun outcome! I inked my cardstock with TH before cutting the main part of the vehicle.  I tried to make the BG panel look like a road and sunset.  I inked blended with TH brushed corduroy, mustard seed, ripe persimmon, and barn door Distress Oxide inks.  The tree is Die-versions Four Seasons.  My sentiment is Penny Black Your Day. I cut it twice in black and glued them together then cut it is silver and adhered it slightly offset to make it pop.

You warm my heart - SCC #168

Happy New Year to you!!  Wishing you all a wonderful and blessed 2025! 

New year, new month, and new challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenge.  I know... Christmas was just last week!  But if you sent all your cards, you need to start working on new ones. :)   Our theme is "warm and cozy."

I embossed the front of an A2 card with Sizzix Eileen Hull Sweater.  My mitten is Papertrey Ink Mitten Die cut from Carta Bella A Wonderful Christmas.  I always cut an extra strip and crimp it for the band at the wrist.  My leaves are Poppystamps Delicate Poinsettia.  My sentiment is Technique Tuesday Hello Winter Sweater that I cut (and matted it) with Die-versions Stitched Circles. I added a double bow of baker's twine behind it.  

I hope you come play along at Sparkles Christmas Challenge! 

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day! 

Glory to the newborn King - SCC #167

 Happy December 1st!!  Christmas is almost here!!!!  

A new month and a new challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!  This time our theme asks you to feature a Christmas carol/song.  I'm using a phrase from the chorus of Hark, the Herald Angels Sing!

I stamped and heat embossed the Neat & Tangles Joyful Sentiment on a sheet of the Paper Studio "the Classics."   I added the Die-version Nativity Border in black and layered the star in gold.  

Time's flying, so if you still need to make some more Christmas cards, let SCC be your inspiration and come play along with our challenge!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day and a very Merry CHRISTmas!! 

You're such a blessing - C4G #238

 It's time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz.  Our theme is texture.  That can mean texture from pastes or embossing or layers or embellishments.  Or add them all! :) 

My paper is Echo Park Sunflower Market. I used Carta Bella Dotted Diamonds stencil with TH stormy sky and peeled paint.  I then embossed the panel with Cuttlebug Diamond in the Rough and brushed white pigment ink over it.  My sentiment is Echo Park Better With You.  It's cut with Die-versions Stitched Circles.  I fussy cut a flower from the paper and added Carta Bella Holiday Sprigs leaves.  The honeycomb is a die from Sizzix Impresslits Sweet Friend. 

We'd love to have you share your textured cards for gals with us!  Please come play along at Cardz 4 Galz. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day! 

Happy birthday 2U - C4G #235

Hi!  Thanks for coming by to see my card for our challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!   Here's my birthday card using our theme of circles...

I created my own slimline card base with Kraft.  My paper is AC Dear Lizzy Neapolitan.  The circles are cut with Die-versions Stitched Circles.  My sentiments are the "happy" from a Happy Christmas that was a freebie many years ago, the "birthday" is from Spellbinders Yana's Layered Script Sentiments, and the "2u" are stickers from the same paper pack that I colored to match.  

We'd love to have you come play along with us as you create cards for the galz in your life!  Just click HERE.
