After being inspired by Buddy Johanna’s recent card that featured a rub on feature, I dug deep in a file cabinet and came across this DCVW Safari Kids Girls run-ons that are glittered. How old and neglected are they? Well they are so neglected they were almost brittle and needed a bit of glue to hold some edges down. The background is a stenciled pattern and a square frame was backed with a piece of vellum.

My card will be shared with:

The Neglected Stuff Challenge March 2025

Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care, stay safe.

I felt ambitious to continue with my rainbows and use some of the extra pieces that were die cut for the card posted yesterday. Pink Fresh Studios Color Block Rainbow die and sentiment is Taylored Expressions Happy Occasions. This time the extras did go in the trash. I kind of like the patterned paper rainbow on black cardstock.

Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and stay safe.

I went through my patterned paper stash and pulled out patterns in each color of the rainbow then die cut a rainbow for each color using Pink Fresh Studios Color Block Rainbow die. My sentiment is Taylored Expressions Happy Occasions and added a few clay hearts to complete my card. If I find the patience, I can make a few more rainbow patterned cards. IF!!!

My card today will be shared with:

This Taylored Expressions Rainbow Bright 3 die cut background has been on my desk way too long. A masculine challenge popped up but with an embossing folder. After searching through my embossing folders, I decided on Cuttlebug’s Traffic Jam! Well I wasn’t too happy with the end results but Hubby Will saw a road and I searched out Newton’s Nook’s Love Quarry stamp and die set. I fussy cut the hearts away from the shovel per his request, added a sun and clouds from a Gina K Designs set to complete this card. This will be sent to our youngest grandchild. I’m thinking Owen will like it as he does love trucks. BOYS!!!

My card today will be shared with the fun challenge with:

It’s a black & white simple birthday card today but I’m really lovin’ it! The unbranded coverplate die didn’t seem to leave my desk so I put it back to work making my background panel. SimonSaysStamp’s Chunky Happy and a birthday word die that was gifted to me from a friend completes this card.

Since the sentiment is the focus of my card, i will be sharing it with:

Playing along with a “F” theme alphabet challenge today with a FISH card. Pulling out an old Gina K Designs Quite A Catch stamp set for my queen fish and Hero Arts Fishy Stamp & Cut for two accompanying fishes and sentiment for meet the challenge. Taylored Expressions Rainbow Bright 3 die which was colored with some Spectrum Noir markers and the required embossing folder is also TE’s Rockin Rhombus. The EB folder reminded me of bubbles. I did clean my my “elf” space and used all the layers and notecard from my “mess”.

Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Another snowy day so soup is in the crockpot and should give me time to play. The forecast is calling for rain tomorrow to wash away today’s snow. That works for me. Take care, stay safe.

My new favorite card design! Four strips of Gina K Designs masking magic, Taylored Expressions Cherry Pop red ink for blending, Gina K Designs Vintage Summer butterfly stamped in versafine black and clear heat embossed then colored with red Spectrum Noir marker and sentiment from same stamp set. The butterfly was also die cut in black and vellum for layering and a little more dimension. I would liked to share my card with:

Lots of white space maybe an extra layer for a true CAS card but I think it will work.

Today’s card uses Penny Black’s Heart Drops die, blooms from Taylored Expressions die which is somewhere lost on my work space. Sentiment is also TE’s Endless Valentine and a frame was cut from my Waffle Flower A2 layering dies with hot pink cardstock from Michael’s. I will be sharing my card with:
