Thursday Musings

 

Good morning and happy Little Friday!  Doing a quick drive by post as I sip my morning tea before I get dressed for work.  Today's card share was created after watching several YT videos on how to use the Spellbinders Open House Door die that I had picked up earlier in the year on clearance in Hobby Lobby.  The die set comes with 16 dies and they have add-on sets, I have one in my shopping cart now (smh).  I used an embossing folder to create the brick layer, stamped the sentiment with some white pigment ink, cut the little wreath using a Sizzix die and finished the card by adding some Paper Studio stars! I sharing this card for the Emboss at a Boss challenge #509 over at Shopping Our Stash and  challenge #56 over at Never Before Used Stuff, this was my first time using the house die.

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

Hello and happy Tuesday, nice weather day; I walked to my polling place and voted this morning.  Today’s card share is one created using sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts challenge #550. The pattern stripes are from the Paper Studio Miss Mary Christmas 6x6 paper pad, I used Gina Marie die and enamel dots.  I like the card but looking at it now I probably should have used gold and not silver on the gnome.

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe; I hope you will visit again soon.

CIU #290 - Layer it Up

 

Hello and happy Friday, let the weekend begin!  Today's project share is my design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #290 is Layer it Up, the challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, November 15, 2023 at noon PST.

When putting my card together I used pattern papers from the Brushy Floral 6x6 paper pad by the Paper Studio.  I also used unbranded stitched rectangle dies to cut some of the layers, cut the word happy using a Sizzix die set and stamped the word birthday using a Woodware Stamp set.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #496 over at Use Your Stuff.

Now that you've seen my project I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for inspiration.  Create and share your Layer it Up project using a die.

Thank you for your visit, take care and have a wonderfully weekend.  Don't forget to fall back if you live in a state where you have to change your clocks!  Hurry back soon.

Merry Christmas

 Hello Thursday evening, I have been trying to share this post for the last two days.  It has been cold for the last few days so I finally had to turn the heat on this morning.  Today's card share is one created using sketch inspiration from Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge #731.  I used mostly paper scraps, the pattern sheet came from an old American Crafts 6x6 paper pad ;an unbranded die for focal point and a stamped sentiment that  was in my waiting to be used stash.  I really like how this card came together, a nice addition to my holiday cards.

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