I made a card using bees.
This will be added to Cardz 4 Galz: https://cardz4galz.blogspot.com/2024/05/225-world-bee-day-may-20th.html
I made this a month ago, but have not shared it. I used Lawn Fawn patterned paper, cross stitch pattern and die for this card. The bees are from Sunny Studio stamps. I really enjoyed creating this card. I find stitching relaxing and the end result is something the makes the recipient feel special.
Hello and welcome. Time for another Halloween challenge.
For the background I Googled Halloween backgrounds, skull image is clip art. Die cut is Stitched Squares by Die-namics. After cutting the 1/4″ strips I ran them through the Seaside ef from Stampin Up, then sponged them with black ink. Cardstock is Stampin Up’s Pumpkin pie. For a little interest I sponged the edges of the card base.

Hello and welcome. Today’s cards are the last 2 for our grandkids special gift.
Our oldest granddaughter has her own business making therapeutic corn wraps, so I thought a sewing theme was best for her. Die cut is Stitched Ovals by Die-namics. Half circle corner pieces have Wink of Stella on them but that doesn’t show well in the photo. Spools of thread are clip art.
Card with books is for our middle granddaughter who loves to read. She started “reading” books when she was 3. She now has quite a nice library in her house. Corners were punched with a small circle punch, label is Spellbinders. Both background papers were found online

Hello and welcome. This is the second grandkids card. This granddaughter is a labor & delivery nurse. Hats in the center are clip art. Die used is Stitched Squares by Die-namics. Thank goodness for the internet, it makes my card making much easier.

Hello and welcome. This summer I will be giving each of our 4 grandkids a special surprise gift, so I am making a personalized card for each of them. Today’s card is for our grandson who installs solar panels.
Luckily, I found this picture of a man installing solar panels. Name tag and corner strips were cut with an antique paper cutter and sponged edges with Night of Navy. The “things” on the name tag are solar tools I found online. Jake will know what they are, but I sure don’t.

I was inspired by a card on Pinterest to make my CAS card in gray, white and a pop of color. This is a top folding card and the bottom is embossed with an old Cuttlebug Pop Culture strip embossing folder. As this is a CAS card I didn’t want to add a second layer strip for the sentiment so I scored an area then stamped the Gina K Designs So Many Sentiments in white pigment ink and white embossing powder. The Taylored Expressions Versatile Vases was stamped with a linen background stamp in Sea Salt ink and Flower Market stamp and die were added to complete my card. It’s difficult to see the embossing but adds a little more to my “white” space IRL.

I choose butterflies! My mother loved butterflies and they have become a symbol of her nearness to me so to my surprise this past week a butterfly drifted past me when I was outside pulling those blasted weeds. One more reminder that my mom and my kids’ Nana will always be with us no matter how many years she has been gone. Now for my card: it was almost all Taylored Expressions products. First the bodies of the butterflies were stamped and clear heat embossed then using the layering stencils to ink from a stamp and stencil Butterfly combo set. Then additional details were added from Butterfly Wishes stamp set, Diamonds Piercing Plate die was used to emboss the butterfly panel, a frame from Frame in Frame 3 cutting plate, sentiment from Boho Sentiments and foiled butterfly from Beautiful Butterflies set. Inks were Gina K Designs Lilac trio and unbranded banner dies complete by butterfly card.
Today’s card will be shared with:
Triple B May 2024 Challenge – to include Birds Blooms and/or Butterflies in any combination.
And because of the mood board I needed to use purples.
Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care, be safe and look for the butterflies.
I was inspired with the fun mood board with The Two Old Bats Halloween challenge to make my card for the May challenge by combining the background tree in one of the panels as well as the pumpkins. So for my card, I stenciled white pigment ink on the SimonSaysStamp In The Round stencil then added some orange, purple and green to some of the dots. Penny Black’s large Dark Spirits tree was stamped and fussy cut eliminating the hanging elements and Recollections Halloween stamp for the two pumpkins also fussy cut, then Taylored Expressions Scripty Boo and backer were added to my card front panel. The lighter green boo was added over the dark green glitter die cut but it was too late for the strip which was glued in place and stuck fast. It was a lot of fussy cutting for that tree that really blended into the background!!!

A Gift with Purchase stamp set from Taylored Expressions gave me two cards by stamping and cutting the colored panels in half. The flowers on the colored cardstock was stamped in similar colored inks and some clear star gelly roll highlighting was added to them for a little sparkle. The panels lined up pretty easily after fussy cutting them out. The second card is below:
