Hello and welcome. I just couldn’t resist using this online coloring page image again. Background paper was found online. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program, bats are Hallmark clip art. I kind of messed up the bat’s eyes by using a toothpick to add a little red Stickles. Image was colored with Copic’s and popped up. I actually think this is kind of cool.
Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy, safe and cool.
I enjoyed creating a card for the Retro Rubber Challenge. It allows me to use what I have and enjoy it once again.
I used the Shine On stamp set from Simon Says Stamp which was released in July 2022. It as part of a kit that used the Simple Stories Vintage Lemon Twist paper pad. I purchased each piece, so I have a lot of this paper left to use.
I colored the lemons with Daffodil Delight and Lemon Lolly inks to watercolor each lemon. I used Lemon Lime Twist to color the leaves. The flowers began with yellows then decided to add more blues, so out came Azure Afternoon; that is why there is a tinge of green in a few of the places. I chose the background paper as it has a mixture of blues to fit the color scheme.
I think I managed four of the colors. I always enjoy this challenge and love color challenges. Thanks for coming by and seeing my creation.
A new stamp set from Unity “Flock Talk” that tickled my fancy, Cutlebug Pop Culture embossing folder “checked” border which was embossed and then white pigment ink swiped over the top of the embossing and Taylored Expressions Easy Strips 1/4″ Patterns die is what was needed to complete my card today.
My card today will be shared with:
Can You Handle the Pressure? Challenge: Anything Goes with a Twist of Stripes and/or Checks.

Hello and welcome. Now I have Halloween cards done for all 5 great-grandkids.
As usual, background paper was found online, ghost is from an online coloring page colored with Copic’s, and fussy cut. Ghost is on a wobbler. I did add some Wink of Stella to the yellow pumpkin light and ghost’s eyes. Sentiment was printed on the computer, cut on my paper trimmer. For the edges of the label, I used Tim Holtz edge rougher (sorry, I forgot what it’s actually called).
Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy, safe, & cool.
Hello and welcome.
Recently I bought this no name embossing folder on Amazon and thought I better use it. I’ve had this ornament punch from Stampin Up forever. After printing the sentiment and punching it out I punched just the top from glitter paper to add. String is just scrapbook thread. It doesn’t show much in the photo but I added Wink of Stella to the ball to get e little shine. Bottom border is computer clip art that also has Wink of Stella on it. I can’t decide if I like it or not.
Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy, safe & cool.
Diane and Darlene are at it again with a new challenge “Love Those Pretty Papers” challenge. This month’s challenge has an option of Triangle patterned paper designs and easy fun fold triangle cards. I like to play along with the options so I decided on the Triangle designer papers. I think my designer papers were a freebie from somewhere. It is two sided so it worked perfectly for this design by switching two of the triangles around. Taylored Expressions Breezy Boughs Stamp, Stencil and die was used for my focal image, die cut an oval vellum circle to help separate the Simon Says Stamp sentiment from the background.

Hello and welcome. We just had a short but fun 2 day visit from our daughter & s-i-l celebrating our anniversaries. They had 28, we had 61. Now back to the craft room.
Being so pleased with the wobbler snowman card I recently made, I thought it would be fun to do a Halloween ghost one. Background, bats, pumpkins and ghost were all found online. I pulled all elements into my Hallmark card program and printed it off. I see now that I should have put the ghost a little higher. It’s been fun making the ghost dance.
Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy, safe and cool.

Playing along with a Shades of Blue theme hosted by our Buddy Johanna at Cardz 4 Galz and my mind went immediately to snow flakes in various shades of blue. It is easy to get four card fronts with Taylored Expressions Create in Snowflake Quads stencils. The layered stenciling is the easy part trying to add more interest is a little more difficult. My first card uses Sizzix Tim Holtz Santa & sleigh die and the sentiment is from a stamp set from my stash. TE sentiments were added to the next two cards and the last card I added a decorative acetate sheet to my card front and a few snowflakes.

One stamp and layering stencil = 3 cards in primary colors of Yellow, Green and Blue. My cards are part of Taylored Expressions June 2024 Combo Club release Time to Fly. The stenciled panel was cut into thirds (almost — LOL) ink blended in yellow, green and blue inks. My inks were, to me, close to the Stampin Up colors listed in the challenge. For each card, I stamped the panel in the same color ink as the cardstock and added either wink of stella or a spray of shimmer, cut a few butterflies and added a Gina K Designs sentiment to circle dies.

As You See It Challenge: Challenge #327 Primary Intensity
