Today’s card was made using Taylored Expressions Party Pop stencil/3D embossing folder combo. This is part of TE’s Combo Club program for which I signed up. The stenciled/embossed side panel was left over from a card that uses the larger panel for an A2 card. Since the panel was not as wide as needed for the traditional gatefold fun car, I adjusted my folds. The larger panel was embossed. Sentiment is TE’s Ring Around the Words die but cut the circle away from the word die.
My card with the prominent sentiment will be share in:
After running a panel of Gina K Designs Cone Flower Garden poly-glaze foiling sheets through my Fuse laminating machine, I ink blended the panel with GKD orchid ink trios. Taylored Expressions May Lily of the Valley from A Year in Bloom was stamped, lightly colored, die cut and adhered to the focal panel. The TE Feature frame cut and layered 3 times was added to my card. Sentiment is GKD’s Lovely Notes card kit from January 2023. Each month TE adds a free gift with each order and this year the theme is A Year in Bloom. It seemed like the perfect time to use this with the theme for
Another Christmas card done, yay! I don’t know why, but this is the third fractured Christmas card. Card stock is Stampin Up, background paper is Echo Park, label die was bought on Amazon. Center die cut is Stitched Squares by Die-namics, center Nut Cracker is computer clip art. The red border on the label is the same die cut in half so it’s only on the top and bottom. Strips were run through a dotted ef from Stampin Up.
Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
It was too difficult for me to decide on one color from Colorful Options May 2025 Challenge this month so decided to use the soft rainbow colors on my silhouette scene. The tree line and butterfly are part of Gina K Designs Friendly Silhouettes and a combination of SimonSaysStamp and Taylored Expressions inks. A TE oval masking stencil was used from my ink blending and to stamp my trees however that left side just wouldn’t completely stamp over the stencil so I found a sentiment strip from my stash to try to cover that section.
It was a bit different from the usual color challenge at Colorful Options but fun to play along with them.
This was a collaboration challenge with Park Hopping: My Happy Place but since I did not use a Star Wars or galaxy theme I will only play with Colorful Options.
Our lawn is begging to be mowed after a week of rain, rain and more rain and it will just have to be high for another two days so we can get back on schedule with grass collection service. It is amazing how quickly everything turned green and the plants look like they are on steroids, too. More rain expected mid week but we should be under control by then. Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care, stay safe.
Hello and welcome. Yay, another Christmas card done.
Background paper is from Echo Park, center jingle bells are from a computer coloring page colored with Copic’s. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program. Square die cuts are Stitched Squares by Die-namics. I thought it would add a little interest if the green die cut was cornered.
Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
I made a birthday card for my brother following the alphabet challenge at Splitcoast Stampers.
Our letter is S and my brother’s name fits the challenge. The AAA Cards challenge is a Clean and Simple birthday card. This fits perfectly for that challenge. The AAA Cards challenge site has sister challenges. One of the sister challenge is a birthday challenge. I am also submitting to that challenge.
I used Sizzix dies to cut the stars out of SU Specialty Glimmer paper. The greeting is from a Park Lane stamp set and the name is from a Your Next Stamp alpha set. This is CAS as I didn’t add a lot of other things. I followed an idea I found on Pinterest which helped me place the tiny stars around the larger star.
Thanks for stopping by. I am happy to have this card ready to mail as soon as I do something on the inside.
Each month I receive a stamped image and sometimes patterned paper to create a card with. The month of May was Sue’s month. I received images from Stampin Up Friendly Hello set and patterned paper. I own this set so I added a few leaves and a die cut to add a bit to balance my design.
The white frame to hold the images is from Stampin Up and is very retired. I cut out the bird and flower image provided, but added the large flowers in the front. I had those in my stamp case already colored, so I matched the marker colors to the small flowers. I found some pink paper in my stash that worked well with the provided patterned paper and placed everything on a white card base. I added gems to the center of each flower; once again very retired SU.
I am adding this card to each of these challenges linked.
For the May Triple B challenge, I have a bird and flowers.
The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge is about flowers.
The Word Art Wednesday is Anything Goes.
Seize the Birthday is to add flowers to the birthday card.
It is nice to create a card that fits so many challenges. Thank you for stopping by and seeing my card. Last month was Virtual Stamp Night at Splitcoast Stampers. I hosted a challenge and made several samples for the other challenges. It is nice to be able to make a card that I want to make that is not dependent on a time frame and specific challenge. This card happened to fit all of these challenges.
Embossing folder floral challenge! My card today was made using Taylored Expressions Summer Nights Layering Stencil which was a gift with purchase. An add on die and 3D embossing folder competed my collection for this set. A separate panel was ink blended and splattered with gold and then a second TE Embossing Folder Dots of Diamons was used for a bit more texture. Sentiment is Gina K Designs Sunshine & Love StampTV kit and a few TE Dragon Tales for dragonflies were added to complete my card. This card is going in the mail tomorrow for friends anniversary.
Hello and welcome. Getting a little jump on my Christmas cards this year. Background paper was found online, center die cut is Stitched Squares by Die-namics. Center Christmas tree is computer clip art, sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program. For my fractured cards I usually cut the strips 1/4″ but since I wanted both red & green each strip is 1/8″.
