Sympathy Card

 Hello Saturday, more nice temps with the possibility of some rain at some point today.  Today I am doing a quick drive by post to share a sympathy card created using sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts sketch #418 and papers from the Simple Stories Vintage Bliss 6x6 paper pad. I used a Sizzix small label die, a Gina Marie flower die and a Recollections stamp for the sentiment.  Another card done and ready to go postal when needed.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #139 over at Cardz TV.  Today is also National Scrapbook Day, I hope to come back and share another project later.

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

Tuesday Morning Sketches #603

 

Hello Thursday, another nice weather day in our area.  Doing another quick drive by post to share another Mother's Day card created using sketch inspiration from Tuesday Morning Sketches.  The pattern paper is from an older Stampin Up pad, cut the heart with the Cricut CTMH Artiste cartridge, used a Unity stamp for the sentiment and a Bo Bunny enamel heart sticker.  Another clean and simple card done, I hope to get my Mother's Day cards in the mail on Saturday; hopefully they will reach their destinations in time!

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

Mojo Monday #558

 

Hello and happy warm Tuesday.  I'm doing a quick drive by post to share another Mother's Day card created using sketch inspiration from Mojo Monday #558.  I used papers from the Pebbles 6x6 Girl Squad pad, a Gina Marie flower die, a stamped sentiment and a few Paper Studio gems.  Another card done, the use of mostly pattern papers really makes the card stand out and I like it! I'm sharing this card for the Mother's Day Challenge over at Shopping Our Stash  and the Anything Goes challenge #139 over at Cardz TV.

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

Big Deal

 

Hello Sunday and start of a new week.  Today I am sharing a LO created using a selfie taken on my birthday. I used sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap #223, papers and embellishments from a Simple Stories Let’s Party 12 x 12 kit.  The flowers and pearls have been in my stash for a very long time, the quest to use my stash is so hard and I have found myself adding to it lately which is not good.  I am going to be working on more LOs this week.

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

CIU #224 - Mascline Cards

 

Hello Friday and welcome to the weekend.  Today's project share is my design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #224 is Masculine Cards and the sponsor is Taylored Expressions.

I wanted to do something a little outside of my normal and I had recently purchased the woodgrain  tree ring stencil so I went to their web side for some inspiration.  The only struggle for me is that I don't have very many ink colors just a few distress and oxide inks that I usually pick up on clearance.  I finally settled on vintage photo, I went to my Christmas dies and used one my unbranded tree dies and cut the bear using my SLICE machine (my all time favorite portable die cutting machine).  Finished the card by adding a few black gems and a stamped sentiment.  I really like the end result of the card, there are just a few minor changes that I will make  the next time I use the stencil.

Please visit the Cut it Up challenge blog, create and share your masculine themed project for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate from our sponsor.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, May 5, 2021 at noon EST.

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe and enjoy your weekend.

Wednesday Wanderings

 Hello Wednesday affectionately know as hump day!  Seasonal temps with a forecast for some showers at some point today which will lead to cooler temps for the next few days.  Today's drive by post is another Mother's Day card, created using mostly scraps of paper, the pattern piece is from the Pebbles Garden Party 6x6 pad.  I used a Spellbinder's die for the lacey circle and sentiment circle, finished the card by adding a few gems.  I am sharing this card for The Paper Players clean and simple challenge #537.

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe and hubby back.  I'll be sharing my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog on Friday.

April Showers MemoryDex

 Hello rainy Monday morning, doing a quick drive by post to share my monthly MemoryDex card.  I really like how this one came out as it is one of the few times the end result came close to the plan I had in my head!  I use a pattern piece of paper from a  DCWV paper pad along with other misc. scraps of paper from my stash (I really just need to toss  those scraps).  I cut the grass and tulips using the Artiste and Walk in my Garden cricut cartridges, used a SU punch for the umbrella, stamped, colored  and fuzzy cut the boots and the bee.  Added the bee and boots with dimensional tape and doodled the bee line with a sharpie, both were requirements elements for the challenge.  I'm sharing this for the Anything Goes challenge #138 over at Cardz TV.

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