My card today will be shared with the Can You Handle the Pressure challenge blog group. Requirements include an embossing folder and an optional theme of RAINBOWS.
For my rainbow I used the Pink Fresh Studio Color Block Rainbow die multiple times to get my rainbow colors. After adding the color pieces to the frame, I embossed it usig a Cuttlebug dot embossing folder. The flowers are Gina K Designs ephemera as is the die and shadow.
Thanks so much for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and be safe.
My card today will be shared with Cards 4 Galz Challenge #194 to use vellum on your card project. After giving this some thought, I decided to stencil a Darice daisy stencil onto my vellum and then cut a Taylored Expressions frame from their Frame in Frame 3 cutting plate to use as my border and to be able to glue down the vellum. Looking through my patterned paper pads, I decided on this abstract piece which I think helps set off the embossed image. Sentiment is Taylored Expressions On Occasion stamp and die set and a little bit of bling for the flower centers will complete my card today.

A fun and inspiring green March mood board from Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge #35 which is an Anything Goes Christmas challenge. My card today is using Taylored Expressions liquid watercolor in spearmint for my background. Brushing water on my watercolor paper panel then brushing on the liquid watercolor, I let my background dry then added another layer of water and water color. After drying again, cutting down my panel ran it through my on it’s very last legs Big Shot (yes I should just get used to the Gemini but it’s hard to let go of my Big Shot) using SimonSaysStamps Kaleidoscope embossing folder, then lightly inking the raised portions with Taylored Expressions’ Poblano Pepper ink and inking the edges for a little extra dimension. Snow hills are SSS Layered Hills dies, sentiment from Catherine Pooler Candy Lane Cane stamp set stamped in Poblano Pepper and my snow people were saved from a store bought card I received. The image was way too cute not to use so let’s call it ephemera.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for my bonus grandson aka, favorite busser. While perusing Pinterest I saw several cards with a similar layout and using foil. I tried embossing the foil but that didn’t go well for me, so I just crumpled it. After it was all put together, I thought if I used a black stamp pad and a brayer it might soften the glare of the foil. So, I took it apart, used a different piece of foil, brayered it and was happy with the result and put it back together. Center square is Stitched Squares by Die-namics with sentiment printed on the computer. Square is popped up.
Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
I used Honey Bee Spring Joy Bouquet stamp and die set. I colored it with Spectrum Noir markers. The background paper is Stampin Up Blushing Bride and Basic White. The patterned paper is also SU Perfectly Artistic which was released in 2016. I looked it up to the get the name and the date was in the blog I found.
Hello and welcome. Time again for dear-old-sisters’ chuckle of the month card.
Sentiment, “It’s OK to pretend you’re Irish on St. Patrick’s Day, After all you pretend you’re good on Christmas!” was found online. Leprechaun and 4 inside clovers are from an online coloring page colored with Copic’s, border was also found online. Well, isn’t this just one of the shortest posts ever???
A new day and a new challenge or two! AAA Cards Challenge #235 is always a clean and simple challenge and this month the challenge is ink blending along the edge. Stencil Fun March Challenge which you are required to use a stencil is also a CAS challenge so I’ll be sharing my card with both of these challenges.
Using the Tim Holtz Layering Lace stencil and very, very carefully masking my border, I ink blended pink, red and orange inks. Unfortunately these inks seemed closer in shades then I expected so the don’t have a lot of dimension. A sentiment from Taylored Expressions’ Scenic Sentiments stamp set and this card is completed. AND no fingerprints!! Nope, not adding anything else!!

The Halloween stamps and supplies are always within in reach with now not only one monthly challenge but two! I will be sharing my card today with the Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge – March Anything Halloween challenge and a newer to me Most Magical Time of the Year challenge blog #6 which is either anything Christmas or Halloween Artist Trading Card or Coins! So of course I had to google this ATC and decided on making a ATCoin and attaching it to my card front and was totally inspired by Two Old Bats Halloween mood board for my card.
After die cutting a 2-1/2″ circle, I used a SimonSaysStamp bat stencil and versamark and green embossing powder (probably hard to see), then decided for some reason to add the bloodshot eyeballs (now it looks like a black moon). This was my ATCoin part of the Magical challenge. Back to the card, found my Hero Arts bat background stamp and stamped in veramark again and embossed with Taylored Expressions glitter green embossing powder. Die cut the Whimsy Stamps Drippy Frame die which was lightly sprayed with Tim Holtz Twisted Citron Distress Oxide spray, SSS sentiment strip and Taylored Expressions bats from Gus & Gertie halloween stamp and die set completes my card today.
