Gecko Galz - July 2024

Hello friends!

Happy July!

Summer fun is in the cards!  Our June was super rain and colder than usual, so I'm excited for some heat and pool time!

I fell in love with Flamingo Court Junk Journal Kit and have tons of projects to share!

I hope you will check out all the amazing designers creations this month.

There are a ton of Challenges for you to participate in and you can even grab FREE products from the blog to get you going! You can find the Challenge Blog HERE.  

Our theme in July is Sea of Dreams.

I created the 2 bookmarks for this theme using the Sea Life Digital Collage Sheet!

There is only one rule, and that is 

you need to use at least ONE  product from Gecko Galz!!  

It can be one of the free products, stamps, collage images, or digital papers!!  It is up to you!!

The winner will receive a $25 Gecko Galz Shopping Spree!!

There is also a Facebook Challenge group for some other fun challenges - and you can find that HERE.

Onto my projects!!!

I started with 4 cards.  Aren't they fun? I fussy cut out the entire Junk Journal Kit to get started and then just started arranging the pieces. I typed up the sentiments on my computer and printed them out.

 

I used images from the Flamingo Court Junk Journal (special monthly kit!) to make this card. I

Next up...my very first Junk Journal!

 

Finally, I created a Tag and a Scrapbook Layout!

 

I hope you enjoyed this month's collection and you will come along and play. Don't forget about all the free images on the blog and the gifts with purchase!

I hope you will check out all the amazing products Gecko Galz has to offer!!   Enjoy and I'll see you soon!

CuteNCrafty Mommy - Birthday Pebbles

Hello friends!

I have a quick, just for fun project to share with you today!  I always need to have a stash of birthday cards on hand, and sometimes I tend to gravitate towards making more girly cards!  SO - I'm trying to make more neutral ones, and this cute little penguin digi called "Birthday Pebbles" from CuteNCrafty Mommy fit the bill!  

 

I also used the Birthday Paper Digi Pack to make this card.

Here is my finished card:

I seem to really be enjoying inking edges again lately - not sure why!  But I still love that technique! 

Thanks for stopping by!  See you again soon.

I chose to work with the GORGEOUS digital papers from DIGI826-833FS   and the Pansies in Teacup Stamp Set!

Here is my card opened up:

This was an amazingly simple, but gorgeous card!  I started by printing off the Purple and Green splatter papers onto white cardstock (easy right?).  

I took Nuvo Embellishment Mousse in Spring Green and applied to to all the edges of my newly printed paper.  I really love the soft green edge it added!

 

I stamped the teacup image onto white cardstock using Versamark Ink and Embossed with Platinum Detail Embossing Powder (EP326).  I colored the teacup and flowers with my TwinTouch Markers! I added a hint of Impulsive Purple Glitter G1069 to the teacup with my small Nuvo Glue Pen and some Sweet Lilac Crystal Drops.

My card base was scored at 2", 4", 8" and 10" (it was 12 inches wide).  I stamped the sentiment using Versamark and embossed with Palm Green Embossing Powder EP372.  All of the layers were adhered using 1/2" Tear-ific Tape.  I tied a bit of green seam binding ribbon around the card to keep it closed.  Finally, I added a heart design (free handed!) with the Sweet Lilac Cyrstal Drops!



 

I'm the last stop on the hop, so if you are just starting here, go back to the beginning to Chris's Blog HERE to make sure you check out all the amazing Designer's work!

Until next time,
