CCC April Monthly Challenge - Sunflower Wishes

 Here is the second card I made from Terry's card kit (terry serman). It was so fun playing with this little bee stamp and the beautiful papers she sent us.

 This is very similar to the first card that I made only it's turned sideways. I used another sticker from the Graphic 45 Let It Bee collection that says, Sunflower Wishes and Honey Bee Kisses. I used Copic markers to color it, this time using Y15, T7, and G21. I still have some leftovers and look forward to making a few more cards with this kit.

CCC - Let It Bee

 Good morning. Just. Happy Saturday. I hope you are all doing well and storm free. We had a rather wet day yesterday but glad to see the sun shining today even if there is a slight chill in the air. Second week done for this semester - only 12 more to go until summer break.

This is the first of two cards to share today. Our hostess this month was Terry (terry serman) She sent us such a cute kit with little bees (a bee stamp) and pretty flowers. Bees are almost as good as butterflies. I made two cards so far from the kit. Here is the first one.

I don't know what I did with the instructions from Terry that tells what the dsp is but it's so pretty. She did include the strip of washi tape which I used for a border at the bottom. I used my oval Nestabilities die to cut out the image and the mat. I think I used SU Crushed Curry for the mat and card base. I did not write that down. I used a yellow enamel dot for the center of the flower and some Stickles Crystals on the wings. For the sentiment I used a sticker from the Let It Bee Graphic 45 collection. I love their products. The sketch is from SCS Sketch Challenge 447.  I used Copic markers to color in the bee - C21, T7, and Y18.
 

CCC - Love You Deer-Ly for March 2026

 Here I am again with the last of my cards for catching up. I'll be back later in the month with my April card. I was the hostess for our March challenge. I decided to use this NBU image and die set from Technique Tuesday. It has so many sentiments with it that you can use it for just about any holiday or occasion.

 Supplies Used:

• Image and Sentiment - Technique Tuesday, Dani Deer
• Ink - SU Baked Brown Sugar and Early Espresso
• Designer Paper - SU - Spring Flowers.
• Embellishments - Sequins from my stash; Ribbon - SU Chocolate Chip.
• I also used the SU scallop punch as well as Nestabilities oval die.

CCC - February Valentine Challenge by Suzy

 Hello again. I'm on a roll so why quit. The February challenge on Creative Card Chicks - SCS came from Suzy (SusyZ1104). She gave us a lot of detail for her challenge - Valentine's Day. I need to do more of these. I do a lot of Christmas cards and then drop off usually to get birthday cards done. Once my classes are done at the end of the year, I hope to have more time for creating. Lots of hearts on this one.

 The dsp comes from Recollections. I think you can find this at Michaels stores. I believe she said that the images were from Deadbeat Designs who are no longer in business. I stuck to a simple card just using the supplies that Suzy sent. I did color the chocolate kiss and the postage sticker with my Copic markers - E47, R46, and RV63. I think I used SU Pretty in Pink for my card base. 

CCC - December 2025 Summertime Challenge

 Hello, friends. I'm still playing catch up and might just do it here soon. My school semester is just about over, so I'll have about a 2-week break before the next one starts. Just two semesters more to go and I'll be DONE! I can't believe that soon I'll have a bachelor's degree, something that I've always wanted to do. It has only taken me eight years since I started!!!

Well, to get down to the card making. This one is a leftover from 2025 - Creative Card Chicks - from hostess Vikki Jo. I was late getting in to start because my first kit never showed up at my house, so Vikki Jo had to send me a second kit and then it was the holidays and then school started again. She sent us a very summer-themed kit and I just used what was in the kit - no coloring or images. 

 

 Sorry, but she did not include where the paper or embellishments came from, so I don't have any information for it. It was fun and I still have some leftovers, so maybe more summer cards coming up.

I used Stampin Up Crushed Curry for my card base and mats. 

Warm Hugs - CCC - January 2026

 Hi again. This is card No. 3. My first card for 2026. This kit was sent by Roxie (morgainegeiser). Roxie sent us a cute stamp set from Echo Park as well as beautiful designer paper.

Items Used:

Stamp Set - Echo Park, Cozy Winter

Designer Paper - Echo Park, Winter Fun

Mat Paper - I used a silver glitter paper from my stash

Copic Markers - G21, G24; R24, R29, R43; Y18

Creative Card Chicks - November 2025

 Hi again. Here is catch up number 2 for November 2025. This card kit was sent by Sue as the hostess for November.  

 Sue sent us the Birthday embossed card stock sheet. I used it for the background. She also sent a piece of vellum with balloons (Paper Studio) all over it. I also used a banner die from Emily Moore Designs. The images are from my stash. I need to go check and see which one it was from. A fun happy birthday card.
