Cas Mix Up Challenge July 2026

This has been a busy travel season so far. We have been gone on a family vacation in June and then on to a fabulous Europe river cruise. What great experience it was. 

But time away from my craft has been too long. I have not made a card in 6 weeks.! When I saw this new challenge, I thought I would give it a try. I just made it before it was ending. 

We are to make an Eclipse card. 

Here is the card that I made using these supplies:

Gina K Designs Whimsical Primrose stencil

It comes with a die, but I did not use it. 

The sentiment is Waffle Flower 

Inks are Pink Fresh Clementine, Persimmon 

and Ocean Breeze, Mermaid Cove

A few dots of Diamond Stickles to finish ( hard to see in the photo)

I will enter this card in the new challenge Called Cas Mix it Up Card Challenge

Thanks for stopping by and I always appreciate your comments!

Seize the Birthday #331 - Square card + non white base

Glenda is the hostess for this next challenge and she wants us to make a Square card, but this is a twist as the base must not be white. I quickly made a square card, but forgot the non white base. Easy fix, and I just sponged on pink ink to my white base. Lol  It is amazing how quickly you can fix a mistake. 

If you are not doing the topping, just make it a Birthday theme card. 

Here is my card.

Dies:  Gina K Master Layouts #3, Fluttering Fall Bundle

STB - #330 One or more Numbers

Cathy is the host for the next two weeks and she has chosen Numbers! 

Use One or More. 

Thanks Cathy for a great Birthday Challenge. 

I had an idea of what I wanted to create, but went to Pinterest to see more. There I found the card that I wanted to make exactly. To my surprise, it was one of my teammates at Seize the Birthday who did it. 

I will give Jules the credit and I didn't much improve it. 

Crafted by Jules: Age is only a number

I loved this so much that I just CASE it. 

Here is my card

I cut up so many numbers from scratch paper that I can make lots of cards with numbers. 

Supplies are:

MFT numbers die

Computer generated sentiment in the center

Embossing Folder From Sizzix Happy Birthday

Gina K Sentiment from So Many Sentiment stamp

If you are not using the topping, please make it a Birthday Theme

Remember if you use the topping, you may get a chance to be our next guest designer. 

It is so easy to use the topping on this challenge I hope to see lots. 

Please stop over at the blog and take a look at what the team has done for this challenge.

Our Surprise Party Guest is Lynda
