Season's Greetings


 It's Saturday and it is another hot day, staying inside and doing as less as possible!  Doing a drive by post to share  another Christmas in July card. I used sketch inspiration from Tuesday Morning Sketches  challenge #717, papers from my scrap stash, a  Momenta snowflake die, a sticker for the sentiment and a few gems.  It has been so hot  this week so I haven’t felt like doing much.

You're So Hip

 


Hello and happy Friday, let the weekend begin!  This  week over at the Cut it Up challenge blog the theme is Animals Parade.  I created this card using sketch inspiration from a watching a YT video, used a Stampin' Up stamp and die set that was gifted to me recently.  I colored the hippo with color pencils and cut the glasses with some glittter cardstock. Used a DCWV  card base, a piece of vellum and pattern paper from the Simple Stories Vintage Bliss 6x6 paper pad.  Finished the card by adding a few gems and I like it! I am sharing this card over at the Crafting Happiness challenge blog where it's Always Anything Goes!

Wednesday Wanderings

 


Hello and happy Wednesday,  just stopping by to share a card that I recently created.  I have been trying to use some of the items that have been sitting unused for some time.  Last week two of my co-workers assisted me with a task so I made them a thank you card.  For this card I used the Spellbinder's Post Box die set, random paper scraps,  a Cricut cartridge to cut the sentiment; I think it came from the CTMH Artiste cartridge.  I really like how this card came out so I will be using that die again for a holiday card!  I am sharing this card for the challenge #489 (three item cluster)  over at Use Your Stuff,  My cluster of items are nested in the lid of the post box.  I am also sharing it over at Shopping Our Stash for their challenge #501 (no stamping allowed).

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

Sunday Musings


 Hello Sunday evening, the weekend just goes by too fast; my to do list has too many items that I didn't complete.  Oh well I did manage to create this card that I created using sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts sketch challenge #534.  I used papers from the Simple Stories Faith paper pad (scraps leftover from another project).   I used a piece of ephemera from the Simple Stories Bits & Pieces from the Full Bloom collection and a Love Nicole die for the sentiment.  Another card done, now I need to take some time this week to get some cards in the mail.

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

Christmas in July

 


Hello Tuesday, today I am sharing two more holiday cards created using the Echo Park Celebrate Christmas 12x12 paper pack.  I created the cards using some embossing folders which aren't really visible in the picture and cut a-parts from the paper pack for the sentiments; though they are clean and simple they look better in person!  I'm sharing them over at Shopping Our Stash for their No Stamping Allowed challenge. Two more cards to add to my stash to use or donate.

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

CIU #282 - Look Up in the Sky

 


Hello and happy Friday, looking forward to getting a lot done this weekend.  Today’s project share is  my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog. This week’s theme is Look Up in the Sky, I created a mini slimline card.  I used scraps of paper from my never ending stash of scraps, an Echo Park kite die, some stitched cloud dies (recently gifted to me from another crafter) and a Sizzix stamp for the sentiment(first time using it). I inked the clouds and added some dimensional adhesive to the sentiment. I really like how this card came together, makes the perfect encouragement card.

Now that you've seen my project, I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration. Create and share your Look Up in the Sky project, don't forget to use a die.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, July 26, 2023 at noon PST

Thank you for your visit, enjoy your weekend and hurry back soon.
