Monday Funday

Hello and welcome to my Monday Funday post. If you’ve been following me, you’ll now you know the drill that I love to play with challenges and today is no exception!

First up is a card for 2 challenges:

I used a stamp set from Stampin Up called ‘ Picked for you’ inked up in SU inks Lucky Limeade, Certainly Celery and Lemon Lime Twist.

I think every teacher needs a bit of appreciation for all that they do!

Next is a card for AAA Cards #148.

I turned the sketch on it’s side and created a cloudy background for my Katzelkraft giraffe who has a bit of a boo boo!

The similarity to Ishani’s card is unintended as I don’t look at DT cards till I’m done. All I say is ‘great minds!”

Next is a card for another 2 challenges:

I used an old Stampin Up digital stamp for my focal sentiment and a wine glass and bottle from a set from an old craft magazine. I die cut the sentiment and popped it up to give some dimension to the card.

Lastly is a card for 2 more challenges:

I create an ink smooshed background with my Kaleidacolor ‘Caribbean sea’ ink pad. I then lifted some of the background with a baby wipe through a harlequin stencil. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp ‘Big Birthday Wishes’.

Well, that’s it for today. Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Hey there! I’m a card-making enthusiast with a passion for creativity that knows no bounds. Currently, I’m fortunate to be a part of four fantastic international card design teams, where I get to explore my craft and connect with fellow artists from all corners of the globe. It’s amazing how the world of card making can bring people together, and I’m constantly inspired by the diversity of styles and ideas that come my way. Beyond my card-making adventures, I lead a pretty busy life in the learning and development field, where I work full time as a Learning Lead. I thrive on helping others grow and reach their full potential, and it’s a role that keeps me on my toes and constantly learning. When I’m not immersed in the world of work or crafting, you can find me on the netball court, coaching and sharing my love for the game with a bunch of amazing individuals. So, whether I’m crafting, guiding professional development, or coaching on the court, I’m all about embracing lifes colorful and creative possibilities! Thanks for stopping by my corner of the web, and I hope you enjoy exploring my card creations and more.
