Without further ado here is my card.

This weeks card I used the card Sketch and Theme.  I'm really loving the blue Christmas Tree and pattern papers from Not 2 Shabby Shop.  I used the Frosted and Fabulous Ephemera and Paper pack.

I also used a sentiment from Mama Elephant.  I thought it was a great sentiment for this theme.  I cut 3 different strips of pattern paper and glued to another pattern paper 4 x 5 1/4.  All was glued to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I had so much fun making this card I will be back with Next weeks Theme Challenge.

Classic Mustang Birthday Cards

 Hello I have a couple of cards to share using Unity Stamp Co.  I love Mustangs and I had to have this stamp set. I've had it in my stash for a bit so it was time to ink it up. Birthdays will be coming soon so it's nice to get a couple for my stash. I also will be entering my card in the Color Hues Challenge  Teal and Silver.  I love this challenge and it's been awhile since I entered.

Without further ado here are my cards.

Here is my first card, I stamped this rubber stamp called Still Turning Heads from Unity Stamp Co. onto white cardstock 110 pounds with Memento Tuxedo ink. I thought this stamp was perfect for the challenge.  I colored it in with my copic markers.  I used a rectangle die from a retired Ellen Hutson die set that cuts out a skinny frame so that die with silver Glitter cardstock.  I ink blended with Peacock Feathers Distress oxide ink around my image and stamped a sentiment from the stamp set.  I cut my image and glued it to a silver cardstock panel.  I framed the car with that skinny silver rectangle die-cut. I then glued my panel to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I popped up my sentiment with foam tape and I adhered some sequins and that finishes this card.

Here is my second card, I stamped this one with Gina K Designs Amalgam ink on 110 pounds white cardstock.  I also tried heat embossing this stamp.  I never could get a perfect stamping with this stampbut I still love it.  I'll consider it grungy.  I may try using a eraser on it?  I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder Mechanics with Silver Glitter cardstock.  I also stamped a different sentiment and glue it to a silver strip of glitter paper. I cut my panels and popped up the image with foam and glued everything to a gray A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. That finishes my cards and I hope you'll join these challenges they are fun.

Supplies:

Unity Stamp Co.  Still Turning Heads Stamp

Highland Cow Cards For November Yay Using Not 2 Shabby Shop

 Hello everyone.  I have a couple of cards today using my JR Box of the Month Subscription from the Not 2 Shabby Shop. If you are not subscribed I highly recommend subscribing. Those spots go quick.  You can put yourself on the waiting list and be notified.  I have so much fun when my subscriptions arrive. You can also join our Month Mood Board Challenge here the subscription coordinate with the Mood Board inspiration photo monthly.

Without further ado here are my cards.

This is my first card, I used the Udderly You stamp set.  I stamped this cute cow onto Neenah Solar White 110 pound cardstock with Memento Tuxedo ink.  I colored it in using my copic markers. I then used the Cowgirl Charm Paper Pad 6x6 and Pinkfresh Studio dies for these amazing circles.

I love making shaped cards.  I did cut out 2 large pink circles with pink heavy weight cardstock.  I then creased the top maybe a quarter down or so on one to glue the other circle together to form a card base. I hope that makes sense...like sandwiching 2 circles. I usually make it a top folding card base but you can make a side folding.  My cow image is popped up with foam tape onto my layers of circle pattern papers.

This is my other card using Rustic Farm A2 Card Fronts. I cut my card front all around and ink blended the edges with Scorched Timber Distress Oxide ink.  I then used a old corner rounder from Creative Memories to corner round 2 of the edges.  I also used a old Stampin' Up punch that punches holes for twine.  I placed some Doodlebug twine that I tied into a bow.

I then layered my card front onto some more pattern paper from the Cowgirl Charm Paper Pad and then glued my pattern paper and card front onto a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I popped up this cute cow ephemera and sentiment ephemera from The Herd's All Here with foam tape onto my card front.  

I love how both cards came out.  Also so easy with these A2 card fronts, ephemera, and pattern paper from the Jr Box of the Month.

 Hello everyone we have a New Inspired by...Challenge-Napkins #IB363.  We also have a New Sketch too. So much fun!  I love how you have the inspiration photo and a card sketch. Come join us I can't wait to see how you are inspired.  Don't forget to tag inspired_by_challenge on the socials. #inspiredbychallenges

On my card, so I was inspired by the sketch and the elements on the napkins.  I liked this green already embossed paper from a Michaels paper pad 12 x 12 in my stash.  I just cut it to mimic the sketch.  I also layered it on a white snowflake embossed panel 4 x 5 1/4 that you can kinda see between the green strips. So embossed on embossed.   I glued my papers to a gray A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.

Next, I die-cut a wreath and tree from a retired Sizzix Christmas Minis Thinlits dies set to mimic some of the elements on the napkins in the photo.  The snowflake dies I used are from Jaded Blossom Winter Banner Dies 2 that I cut out with white cardstock.  My sentiment is from Pink & Main Stamps called Merriest of Wishes that I stamped with black ink and cut it out using my paper trimmer.  

I hope you join us. If you win your card is shared on the Socials and you can receive a badge for your Blog.  So fun!!

Christmas Greetings

 Hello I have my last card to share for the Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  I had so much fun this week.  I hope you did too.

Without further ado here is my card.

I honestly had another card in mind for today but I was so excited to use the Betterpress November 2025 Club Of The Month Paws In The City from Spellbinders.  I love her so much!  I used some Spellbinders specialty paper and ink and watercolored with Karin Brush Markers, water, and a paintbrush.  Just fun loose watercoloring.  I did use my paint brush to draw in some ground placement for my girl and dog.

I also used a Layering Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called Layered Holly . Use VonFan10 to save.  I used inks from Concord & 9th in Poppy and Parsley for the leaves and berries.  I also used a Spellbinders Betterpress Plates from Christmas Greetings for my sentiment.  I glued my watercolored panel to a pink A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I had so much fun making this card. 

 Have a Wonderful Day!💗

Birthday Shaker Card For The N2S November Mood Board Challenge

Without further ado here is my card.

I chose to make a shaker card using the New Make A Wish Paper Pad 6x6 and Ephemera Die-cut pieces.  I used the EZ Wonder Die #1 for my shaker square with the stitched circle opening. This die is so much fun you can run a 6x6 paper and this die through your die-cutting machine and get tons of die-cuts through 1 pass.  I used vellum instead of acetate and lots of fun colored stars embellishments from my stash. Foam tape was applied to make my shaker. My green pattern paper was cut to 5x5.

This pattern paper and ephemera made this card so quick and beautiful.  I love it and I just shook my card just now...and it's so much fun. Everything was glued to a 5x5 pink heavy weight card base.  The birds saying Fun is so great and fun for a Birthday card.  I hope you'll add your card to the N2S Blog here

A Day Without Coffee...

 Hello everyone.  I have another Coffee card today for the Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  I'm loving all the coffee card I have been seeing.  So much fun.  

I chose to make a Coffee card today. I'm using a retired Essentials By Ellen Latte Love by Ellen Hutson.  I love this set and it doesn't get much love so I'm changing that.  I stamped this cup and cute bear with Memento tuxedo ink on white cardstock and colored it in with my copic markers.  I cut out the cup with the coordinating die. I tried to make it Holidayish with a red cup and Christmas Pattern paper from Sponsor Not 2 Shabby Shop A Woodland Christmas.  I used other Paper packs from Not 2 Shabby like #Coffeeandbooks Vol. 2 for the coffee stains and Cottage Roses Paper Pack for the plaid.  The other pattern paper for my last layer was from my stash.

I stamped this fun sentiment in black ink on white cardstock because it's so true and I really liked it.  I glued everything to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I had so much fun making this card.  It was so easy too.
