Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our oldest granddaughter.
I’ve had the patterned paper, from Stampin UP, for years. Sentiment was printed on the computer, gems are Opal Rounds from Stampin Up. This was so quick and easy I almost feel guilty. For some reason I’ve gotten hooked on making fractured cards.
Thanks for stopping by your visits mean a lot to me. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
Using one balloon from Taylored Expressions Balloon Party layering stencils, I rainbow stenciled a balloon background. After masking areas around the chosen balloon, I started in the middle of the card background with a light red then filled in around that balloon trying to keep in rainbow order and not create any muddy balloons. After adding a TE frame and word sentiment popped up on a vellum circle, this card is finished. No extra gems or bling as this one may be included in my package for cards for troops.
Today’s card will be shared with two challenges:
Double D Challenges: Birthday Balloons
Make My Monday Challenge Blog Challenge #210 Create Your Own Background.
Thanks so much for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and be safe.
Hello and welcome. Today I decided to go green. The vellum package used is from Stampin Up. Patterned paper is from my stash. For the sentiment circle I found holly circle clip art online, brought it into my Hallmark card program, sized it and printed the Merry Christmas, cut it with Stitched Circles by Die-namics. I don’t like this one as well as the red one from yesterday but I think it’s ok.

Just how much fun is it to have a sleepover due to a school holiday on Monday. I will let you know that it’s a blast letting Brooke, my 11 year old granddaughter, take charge of my “elf” room and start designing Halloween cards. What a maker she is!!! This card was a combination of a fabulous patterned paper pack, Grumpy Pets and a Tim Holtz set. And if one card was not enough how about the rest of these amazing cards.
Brooke used some patterned papers, dies, pouncers, stickers, googly eyes, embossing folders and a whole lot of fun.
Just for fun I’m sharing Brooke’s cards with one of my favorite challenges:
Halloween Crafts All Year Round Challenge #8
Chase, Brooke’s brother, did his part, too. He ate all of the candy corn candy! And best of all chose his favorite card which was the top one.
Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care; be safe.
Hello and welcome. Today’s card is another addition to my Christmas stash. I saw several Christmas cards using vellum on Pinterest and luckily I had some embossed Christmas vellum in my stash. Patterned paper is also from my stash. Sentiment circle is computer clip art cut with Spellbinders Classic Circles and popped up. Circle looks like it has splatters on it but it’s actually little stars and snowflakes. To adhere the vellum I ran it through my Xyron.

This is my second card for today. I colored these roses several days ago and then got sidetracked with Halloween and other things. So, today I finished the roses card.
This card was created with the Color Hues in mind: https://colorhuesthecolorchallenge.blogspot.com/2023/09/special-challenge-lindseys-legacy-hop.html
I used SU gray for the cardbase, Accent white for the roses and the embossed shape. The stamp set used is Technique Tuesday Sending Roses along with coordinating dies. The shape was cut from SU Deco Labels and embossed with the Swiss Dots embossing folder. I added gems from Taylored Expressions (purple ones) and Stampin Up (red ones).
Today was the perfect day for me to post a rose card. It would have been my mother’s birthday and roses were her favorite flower. Each year, I would purchase a new rose set to use on her birthday card. This was a new set given to me, so I was thrilled to use it. I think my Mom would have preferred her roses to be just one color, but she would have enjoyed this card. Thanks for spending time with me and reading about my rose card.
Continuing to create with the Spooky and Mice set from Simon Says Stamp, I made a slimline card.
I saw a few cards created by the Simon Says Stamp designers and used a few for inspiration. One had a background of stars, another had the images arranged like this, and another had different coloring and many used the gel pen for highlights. I took all of their inspiration in and created this card. I used Gina K Designs Layering White cardstock for most of the images, and while laying this out, I needed a few more images. I have a pack of white strips from SU Basic White cardstock very close to where I create, so I took a strip and stamped more candy images. Then went to coloring with alcohol markers and adding the gel pen.
I chose three colors for the stars–Lawn Fawn Fake Tan (orange), Manatee (light gray) and SU Misty Moonlight (blue). The star stencil is a very old retired SU one.
First challenge, http://cardz4galz.blogspot.com/2023/09/use-stencil-sentiment-image.html
I used the stencil, many sentiments, and several images to meet this challenge.

I think that is enough challenges. I will post this to splitcoast stampers and link to Two Old Bats from there.
I enjoyed creating this fun card. This stamp set was definitely a good purchase for my daughter. She is the Halloween fanatic as she loves the holiday and finds many clear and rubber stamps to create with. She owns then and I use them; works perfect for me. Thanks for reading my long post. Have a wonderful last day of summer.
Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our granddaughter & grandson-i-l. It’s been ages since I’ve made a window sheet card. As usual the pp was found online. Die used for the sentiment is one I found on Amazon but don’t have a name for it. Sentiment was printed on the computer, inside hearts are from a small hand punch. The bottom panel, for our signature, is also a gift card/money holder. The Cajun Craze cs from Stampin Up is one of my favorite fall colors. I really enjoyed making this and am pretty pleased with it.
Thanks for stopping by your visits mean a lot to me. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
I have been coloring Halloween images to create a Clean and Simple Halloween card. Sometimes I want to keep adding, but I think I was able to keep it CAS.
The pumpkins and candy came from the Stamptember collaboration with Simon Says Stamp and Whimsy Stamps, called Spooky and Mice Stamps. I colored them using alcohol based markers, then added a white gel pen for highlights. The greeting is from Lawn Fawn Simply Fall Sentiments set. I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the spider web.
This will be placed at Splitcoast Stampers in this week’s Clean and Simple challenge with the Halloween theme. https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/3136679
It will be placed in the Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge: https://twooldbatshalloweenchallenge.blogspot.com/2023/09/september-2023-mid-month-reminder.html This was actually lined from my Splitcoast Stampers account. We had reached the limit on the blog.
The next challenge is called Halloween Crafts All Year Round: https://halloweencraftsallyearround.blogspot.com/2023/09/sept-15-oct-14-challenge-8.html
It will be entered in the Most Magical Time of the Year: https://mostmagicaltimeoftheyear.blogspot.com/2023/09/challenge-12-most-magical-anything.html
That is quite a few challenges. I have made a few Halloween cards this year for the Dirty Dozen Challenges, which I didn’t post here on the blog and one for a swap. This is the first one I have made with new images where I took time to color. I colored all of the images in the set, but only used a few here.
Thanks for reading!
