Hello

 

Welcome to the start of a new week, it's raining a little so I'm thinking it may be an inside day!  I'm doing a drive by post to share a card that I created using sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts challenge #645. I just pulled random papers from my stash as I was using the plaid sheet as my base, it is from Recollections,  I used a really old Richard Garay stamp and die set for the telephone, added a stamped sentiment and a few gems and this card was done!  

I am sharing this card for the September Anything Goes challenge over at Die Cut Divas and Crafts Galore Encore #139.  You too can visit these blogs for more inspiration!

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

CIU #304 -Send Me Flowers

 Hello and happy Friday, let the weekend begin; it has been a long work week.  Today's card share is my latest design team project for the Cut it Up  challenge blog, the theme for challenge #304 is Send Me Flowers.  

When putting my card together I used a piece of paper that has been sitting on my desk for while for the base, cut the flowers using the Sizzix Bold Flowers die set and paper scraps from my stash. Finished the card by adding a stamped sentiment  a Woodware stamp set and a few gems. I'm sharing this card for the monthly Anything Goes challenge #123 over at Crafts Galore.

I hope you will visit the  Cut it Up challenge blog for  more design team inspiration, create and share your flower project (don't forget to use a die). The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, May 29, 2024 at noon PST.

Thank you for your visit, have a wonderful weekend and hurry back soon!

CIU #300 - Happy Birthday

 

 

Hello Friday and let the weekend begin!  Today at the Cut it Up challenge blog we are celebrating our 300th challenge by sharing our birthday themed projects.

When creating my project I decided to step out of my comfort zone by doing some things a little different from my usual clean and simple style. So off to YT University for some ideas that included using some of my unused stash!  I created the background by inking some clouds, adding some word stamping and finally  some splatter.  I used some TH salvaged patina distress ink and splatter.  I even made my own cloud stencil. Cut the balloons, added some burlap twine, made a bow and added to the card with some adhesive foam. The word happy was leftover from a previous project, added a few gems and the card was done!  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #121 over at Crafts Galore  and the monthly challenge over at Die Cut Divas.

I hope that you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration  as we have some guest designers that have joined us for our 300th challenge.  Create and share your birthday themed project, the challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, April 3, 2024 at noon PST.

Thanks for your visit,  take care and hurry back soon.

Thursday Musings

 

Hello and happy Thursday, little Friday.  It's another great weather day here in our area so I hope to get in a mid-day walk, I have been struggling to meet my weekly movement goal.  Today I am doing another drive by post to share a card that I created  using some items that have been in my stash for almost a year but hadn't been used.

I pulled out the TH snowman die set (Chilly & Freezy) that was created as a gift set for Simon Says Stamps.  I used random papers from my stash, a snowflake embossing folder, a mason jar cut using my Cricut (Stretch my Imagination), a Cardz TV stamp for the sentiment and a Recollections heart gem.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes Monthly challenge over at Crafts Galore.

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

Birthday Greetings

 

Hello Thursday, little Friday; I meant to share this card yesterday but as life would have it I didn't have time to post.  I created this card for one of my scrappin' besties, her most favorite  color is purple!  Her birthday was yesterday, I'm not sure it arrived  on  time so I shared it on FB and IG; I am not liking the US Mail right now.  I shopped my stash to make this card, my first time using the paintbrush dies which I've had them for over a year.  I am sharing this card for challenge #114 over at the Crafts Galore challenge blog where the theme is always anything goes.

Thank you for your visit, hope you will return soon!

Happy Easter

 

Hello and happy Tuesday, nice weather day outside so I need to get moving so I can get some outside time in today!  Today's card share is a Easter card that I put together using scraps that were sitting around from other projects.  I cut the ovals using a Sizzix die, stamped the bunnies with a Simple Stories stamp set that I picked up from TM during their going out of business sale.  Colored with bunnies with color pencils and added a  little bow and finished the card by adding some Honey Bee Stamps gems.  I am sharing this card for the Easter challenge #481 over at Use Your Stuff and the Anything Goes challenge #110 over at Crafts Galore Encore Challenge Blog.

Thank you for your visit, stay safe and hurry back again soon!

Happy Heart Day

 

Hello Tuesday and Happy Valentine's Day! Just doing a drive by post to share my card using sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap card sketch #235.  I used more papers from the Honey Bee Stamps Hugs & Kisses 6x6 paper pad, cut the jar using an unbranded jar  die, used some Recollections silver cardstock and vellum for the top.  Finished the card by adding a stamped sentiment (heat embossed),  some enamel hearts and a heart gem!  Although this wasn't the original plan when I started the card I still like the outcome!  I am sharing this card for the Crafts Galore Challenge 108 - Anything Goes.

Thank you for your visit, I hope you'll come by and visit soon.
