CIu #345 - Oldie But Goodie

 

Hello and happy Friday, snow mostly gone but the cold temps are here to stay; it already feels like Winter. Today I am sharing my design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog, the theme is Oldie But Goodie.  I chose an item that every time I go to get rid of it, it tugs at my heart!  I really like the Slice little die cutting machine as a matter of fact I'm on my second one! I used two different SD cards on my card, one for the tree and the other for the sentiment.  Everything used to make this card has been in my stash for a while with the exception of the arch shaped die set.  I think the Slice machine is definitely one of my favorite tools! I am sharing this card for the December Anything Goes challenge over at A Cut Above.

Head on over to the Cut it Up challenge blog to see what everyone else has used from their stash.  I hope you'll look in your stash for an oldie but goodie item, create and share your project using a die cut. The challenge starts today and ends Monday, December 22, 2025 at noon PST.

Thank you for your visit and taking the time to leave a comment.  Be safe and hurry back again soon. I'm mostly done with my 12 Days of  Crafting challenge but I still have lots to do.

Tuesday Musings

 Hello and happy Tuesday, cold and snow here in our area so I will be staying in a little longer before heading in to work once the temperature comes up a little.  Today's card share was created using sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap card sketch #292 and papers from the Paper Studio Miss Mary Christmas 6x6 paper pad.  I cut the poinsettia with a Momenta die set, added some gold gems to the center and used a TH label sticker for the sentiment. 

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

Day 6 - Merry Christmas

 Hello and happy Sunday, the start of a new week.  I moving right along with my challenges barely keeping up but doing what I can! Today's card was created using Atlantic Hearts challenge #658 more papers from the Bella Blvd paper pad, a sentiment stamp from Scrapbook.com and a few gems.  I have mixed feelings about it as I didn't have a die to cut the pattern paper and I struggle with placement with my cutting board at times!  I might have to do another card using this sketch as I still have a ways to go in this challenge, this card marks the hallway point!

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

Day 3 - Joy

 

Hello early Saturday morning, not sure why I never  shared this post yesterday but here goes another drive by post. We woke up to some snow yesterday  morning; not too much but schools had announced closings and delays the day before.  Today I am sharing another card created as part of my crafting challenges for this month, it is really taking its toll on me but I have been managing to get it done!  For this card I used a Sizzix embossing folder and large die set, both Tim Holtz. I am sharing this card for the Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes challenge for weeks 728-729.

Thank you for your visit and hurry back again soon.

Day 2 - Happy Birthday

 Good morning, it's cold and rainy outside and I am not looking forward to going out.  Today I have my second project share for my twelve days of crafting challenge.  I created a birthday card using sketch inspiration from Try a Sketch on Tuesday #684.  I used papers from Echo Park Fashionista 6x6 paper pad, a circle die for the sentiment (one of my favorites) and a few gold embellishments. Another card completed and ready to go postal!  I am sharing this project over on IG along with another of my crafting friends; my instagram name is @iscrapmemories.

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

Thanks

 

Hello and welcome to my first project share for My Twelve Days of Crafting Challenge.  I am doing this challenge with one of my crafting friends, rather than doing 12 days of Christmas which is what we usually do; we aren't limiting our projects to Christmas projects. I created this card using inspiration from the Shopping Our Stash challenge #561, A Quick Thank You; I think I did succeed in creating this card within the suggested 30 minute once I selected the papers and the dies that I wanted to used.  I used papers from the Dear Lizzy Neapolitan  12x12 paper pad,  dies from Stampin Up and Scrapbook.com.

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

I really need to work on my presentation and photos of my projects!

Thank you for your visit take care and let the holiday countdown begin as tomorrow starts December! I hope you will hurry back as I have a personal challenge with one of my friends and we will be starting the twelve days of December creating!  I hope I can keep up or with the creating and sharing!
