CIU #326 - Spring Colors

 

Hello and happy Friday, second day of Spring!  Today’s card share is my project created for the Cut it Up challenge blog; the theme for challenge #326 is Colors of Spring.  This card came together quickly once I pulled out the box that contained my Spring/Summer dies.  The peep dies and the stamped sentiment came together an is one of those items that had been sitting unused.  The papers used were mostly scraps from other projects. added the gems and this card was done!

I am sharing this card for challenge #95 over at 2 Sisters on the Blog and the Anything Goes challenge over at Creative Inspirations.

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for inspiration, create and share your Spring Colors themed project; don't forget to use a die cut.  The challenge starts today and ends Monday, March 31, 2025 at noon PST.

Thank you for your visit, take care and hurry back soon.

Make a Wish

 

Today's drive by post is a card that I created for a challenge hosted over on Instagram.  This crafty dare challenge was to include postage, a number and at lest three layers  The pattern papers came from a DCWV paper pad, I used a postage stamp die set and other die sets for the sentiment, the number 4 and the balloon.  Finished the card  by adding some Spellbinders gems.  This super cute card will be going to my girl friend's granddaughter.

Thank you so much for your visit, continue to be safe and hurry back again soon.

Wednesday Musings

 

Hello and happy nice weather day, feels like Spring is trying to make its way into our area!  Today's drive by post is a fitting post for what lies ahead!  Today's card was created using scraps of paper from my stash and a Spellbinder's die set, it is called Step into Spring.  I really like it and it may sit in my stash before I decide to pass it along; I will probably create another project using that die set again soon.   I am sharing this card for the March Anything Goes challenge over at A Cut Above.

CIU #325 - Happy Birthday

 Hello Friday, let the weekend begin! Today’s project share is my design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #325 is Happy Birthday.  

I am trying to use more scraps and finish off some 6x6 paper pads so for this card I used papers from the My Mind's Eye Blink of an Eye pad.  I used several dies to cut the stars, stamped the sentiment and cut the 2U with a Sizzix die set; added a few gems and this card was done!

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration, create and share you birthday themed project using a die.  The challenge starts today and ends Monday, March 17, 2025 at noon PST

Wednesday Musings

 

Hello Wednesday, been awake most of the morning so I am feeling like it should still be Tuesday! Well such as life will have I must press on and get through this day.  During my sleepless night Input this clean and simple card together using scraps of paper, a stamped sentiment and a Prima flower. The sketch inspiration for the came from Atlantic Hearts sketch challenge #619.  I am feeling a bit overwhelmed because of some things going on right now so I'm unable to create/play as much as I would like.  I'm sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge for weeks #689-690 over at Word Art Wednesday.

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe and hurry back soon.  My next post will be my design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog on Friday!

Tuesday Musings

 

Hello and happy Tuesday, doing a quick drive by post to share another card; trying to do better in posting.  I created today's card using sketch inspiration from Try a Sketch on Tuesday #664, rather than straight lines I used torn edges.  The papers came from a very old Graphic 45 6x6 paper pad, I  heat embossed the sentiment and added a few gems and this card was done. I am all in my stash trying to declutter and decrease!

Thank you for your visit, take care and hurry back again soon.

Just Because

 Hello Sunday evening, just doing a quick drive by post to share a card that I created using sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge #617.  I used papers from a Bella Blvd Make Your Mark 6x8 paper pad and some Recollections gold paper to cut the heart doily.  Added a few gems and a stamped sentiment and this card was done.  Another card created that will be included in a swap that is due at the end of this week!
