Waving Hi

 

Hello Sunday evening, doing a quick drive by post to share one of my latest cards. I used sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts challenge #639,  I love their weekly challenges so I try to create with them every week.  The pattern papers came from a DCWV paper pad, an older My Favorite Things stamp and die set for the bear and the sentiment, added a few enamel dots to finish it!  Another clean and simple card, ready to go postal and I like it!  I am also sharing this card for challenge #552 - Wood is Good over at Shopping Our Stash.

Thank you for your visit, try to stay cool if you live in an area that will be experiencing extreme heat this week.  I hope you'll return soon!

CIU #335 - Monochromatic

 

Hello and happy Friday!   Today I am s haring my design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  I used some Creative Memories paper and flower embellishment to create my monochromatic card,  Created the scallop layers using a Spellbinders border die cutting set and a Fiskars stamp set for the sentiment and this card was done. Orange is not a color that I used often and I picked this paper up at a scrapbooking yard sale a few months ago and decided to use it.

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration, create and share your monochromatic project.  The challenge starts today and ends Monday, August 4, 2025 at noon PST.

Thank you for your visit and continue to be safe safe.  I hope you will visit again soon.

Sunday Musings

 

Hello Sunday, my intention was to share this post yesterday but as life would go things changed.  Last week's  theme for 2Crafters1Design over on YT and IG was movies, perfect time for me to use a die set for the first time!  I used sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts challenge #638, papers from a Momenta pack, stamped a sentiment and added some Freckled Fawn enamel stars.  I used some antique linen ink on the popcorn might have to try something different the next time; I still think it came out fairly well.  I am also sharing this card for the Anything Goes monthly challenge over at A Cut Above.  It has been hard but I have to de-clutter and stop hoarding my crafty stash!

Thank you for your visit, stay safe and be mindful of your surroundings.  Hurry back soon!

Just Breathe

 Hello Sunday, it's thundering and raining again so I'm trying to get this post shared quickly.  Today's project share uses sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts challenge #637, some Echo Park pattern  paper, Gina Marie Designs chair die, used my SLICE machine to cut the tree and stamped the sentiment using an old Stamping for Less stamp set.  I am sharing this card for the Tropical themed challenge hosted on YT and IG by 2Crafters1Design and the Tic Tac Toe challenge #274 my card contains the elements from the last column: CAS, Summer Colors and Any Sentiment

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

CIU #334 - Christmas in July

 

Hello and happy Friday, let the weekend begin!  Today's card share is my design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #334 is Christmas in July.  Once I decided which dies I wanted to use the inspiration for the design of the card came from one that I had previously seen on YT.  I used an embossing folder and a Spellbinder's die set for the icons, a sticker for the sentiment and this card was done!  

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration, create and share your Christmas in July project.  The challenge starts today and ends Monday, July 21, 2025 at noon PST.

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe and hurry back again soon!

Joy & Cheer

 Hello Sunday, the start of a new week; grateful for another chance to do and be better!  Today's card share is one of my Christmas in July projects.  When putting this card together it took lots of turns and a few challenges as I have been working on multiple projects over the holiday weekend.  For this card, I used sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts challenge #636, the tree die and pattern papers are from scrapbook.com, and the sentiment came from a Spellbinders stamp set.  So many goodies that need attention in my stash, still working on my hoarding problem of my paper crafting goodies.

Thank you for your visit, take care and continue to be safe.  I appreciate your visit and comments, hurry back soon!

Happy 4th
