CIU #346 - Anything Goes

 

Hello and happy Friday, praying that you had a blessed Christmas with family and friends. Today’s card share is the project created for the final challenge for 2025.for the Cut it Up challenge blog. The challenge for challenge #346 was Anything Goes and in keeping with my quest to use unused items from my stash I created a shaker card. When creating my card I used some very old pattern papers from a K&Co mat pad and a Momenta die set for the tree. The die set was one gifted to me a few years ago. The shaker bits have been in my stash  for some  years too, came from the Target Dollar Spot along with the sticker sentiments, I made a lot of cards bout failed to mail most of them, there’s always next year! I'm sharing this card for the December Christmas/Winter challenge over at Die Cut Divas.

Now that you’re seen my card I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge for more design team inspiration.  Create and share your Anything Goes project using a die cut, the challenge starts today and ends Monday, January 5, 2026 at noon PST.  

Continue to be safe during this holiday season! Thank you for your visit, I hope you'll visit again soon.

Sunday Musings

 

Wow, it has been forever since I share but I have been trying to get some crafting done.  I have been a little under the weather so I have been resting trying to get over whatever is going around.  Today's card share is another holiday card created using inspiration from Atlantic Hearts sketch challenge #660. I used pattern paper from a Park Lane paper pad,  a Tonic Studios tree die (first time using it), some gems and a TH label sentiment.  Another card and going postal tomorrow, not sure if it'll make it to it's destination in time!

Thank you for your visit, take care and enjoy time with your family and friends during this season.

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!
