Moving Along with the Times September Challenge ~ 4-legged Friends

Hi Crafty Friends,
I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that it's September.  Fall is really my favorite time of year so I'm looking forward to the weather changes and decorating for everything Fall.
Our challenge at Moving Along with the Times is 4-Legged Friends.
I used Gina K Designs products to create this card.

Products used:

Gina K/SSS exclusive Stay Cozy stamp set

Gina K 1st Class Frame Cover Plate and Snowy background stamp.

I hope you'll play along with us this month.

Moving Along with the Times ~ August Challenge ~ Feminine

Hi Crafty Friends,
Time for another Moving Along with the Times challenge.  This month we're asking for feminine cards.
I had fun with a "new to me" die and stencil set from Pinkfresh Studio.

I truly enjoy using Pinkfresh Studio products.  Their amazing stencils make adding color so easy.  And, if you haven't tried any of their all at once dies ~ well, they're amazing.

I cut three sets of this die so I could stack them to add dimension.  I had the glittered mat in my Pinkfresh stash.  That, and a few gems was all this card needed.

Pinkfresh products used:

Ornate Rectangle Frames, Rising Wildflowers die and stencils, Extra Special sentiment stamp/die set and Glacier Glittered cardstock.  I also used Pinkfresh ink cubes.

Hope you'll play along this month.

For this design I chose the Hero Arts "Everything Flower" background cling stamp.

I used Copic Markers and an Ohuhu glitter marker.

The sentiment is Simon Says Stamp Fancy Thank you dies.

I also used Gina K Designs Master Layout 2 for the mats.

Moving Along with the Times February 2026 ~ Floral

Hi Crafty Friends,
We're asking you to use FLORALS for our Moving Along with the Times February challenge.
I've been trying to use all the amazing Pinkfresh Studio stamp/die/stencil sets that I've been ordering so this was a great challenge for me.

I've used Pinkfresh Studios Pure Joy pressplate stencil/die set.  I foiled the pressplate using my Glimmer foil machine then stenciled using PF inks.  I also used PF Ornate Rectangle die cut multiple time and stacked and splattered the background with lavender metallic paint.  The sentiment comes from the Betterpress You Are Everything plate and die set.

I'm looking forward to seeing your FLORAL creation.

Hi Crafty Friends,
Moving Along with the Times challenge blog has released its November theme, Winter Wonderland.
I took an online card class from SCT and was introduced to LDRS cardmaking kits.I used papers from the Wildwood Cardmaking kit for this project.

I also added branches from Sizzix and a Gina K Designs sentiment made using thermal foil and her Shimmering Christmas Polyglaze sentiments.  I ink splattered the design paper before adding the die cuts and sentiment.  LDRS also has rub on "splatters" if splattering isn't your thing!
