CIU #301 - 3-2-1

 

Hello and happy Friday, let the weekend begin!  Today' project share is my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #301 is 3 - 2 - 1 ( 3 gems, 2 die cuts and 1 sentiment).

Not sure why this was a struggle for me but after a few attempts I decided to share this thank you card.   I used  3 Stampin' Up gems, a gift bag die and I stamped the sentiment on a stitched rectangle die cut.  I failed miserably at not adding items to my stash, this was my first time using the bag die, I did use  papers from the My Mind's Eye Stella & Rose 6x6 paper pad, it has been in my stash for a very long time. The sentiment is from a Spellbinders stamp set.

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration, create and share your 3-2-1 themed project.  The  challenge starts today and ends on Wednesday,  April 17, 2024 at noon PST.

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

Happy Easter

 Good morning, wishing you a wonderful day filled with the blessings of love and happiness!  Today's project share is a card that I put together using sketch inspiration from Tuesday Morning Sketches #750.  I wanted to use a recently created tag that was sitting on my desk so I decided to use it and a another die instead of the oval.  Everything used on the card has been on my stash for some time, this was my first time using the splatter embossing folder.  I shared this card over on IG for the @craftydares, @2crafters1design and the @satmorn challenges. I am also sharing this card for the Spring has Sprung challenge #518 over at Shopping Our Stash.  

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

Palm Sunday

 Hello and happy Palm Sunday, today's card share is another Easter card created using sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap card sketch #262.  I used mostly paper scraps, an embossing folder, an EK Success edge punch, cut the basket using an Echo Park die and a KS Crafts die set for the remaining die cuts. Added a stamped sentiment and a few gems and this card was done, I had a hard time getting a good picture; it does look better in person!

Thank  you for your visit, take care 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.

Hello Spring

 Hello Thursday afternoon, doing a quick drive by post to share another card.  Today's card uses sketch inspiration from Try a Sketch on Tuesday, challenge #643, miscellaneous papers and items that were sitting on my desk within arms reach.  I cut the pots using a Cottage Cutz die, the watering can and tulip are Echo Park dies and the sentiment stamp is from an unbranded set.  Finished the card by adding a few gems and it is now ready to go postal; no Spring temps in our forecast!

Thank you for your visit, take care and hurry back soon.  Tomorrow the Cut it Up challenge  starts and we are celebrating our 300th challenge so head on over for some awesome birthday creations inspiration!

Friday Musings

 

Hello Friday, let the weekend begin!  For some reason I am really struggling with daylight savings time.  I'm doing a quick post to share a card that I created using sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap card sketch #261.  The pattern papers came from the Sparkleberry Ink 6x6 paper pad from Michaels.  The flower and sentiment came from a Pink and Main stamp and die set, finished by adding some Paper Studio gems.

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe and enjoy your weekend!  I hope you will return soon.

MFT Monday

 

Hello Monday, doing a quick drive by post.  I am sharing a card for the March Monday MFT challenge being hosted on YT.  I don't have a YT channel so I will just share over on IG.  I don't have a lot of My Favorite Things products in my stash but I wanted to play along in an effort to use what I have!  I used sketch inspiration from Try A Sketch on Tuesday challenge #642 and misc. papers from my scrap stash.  I used the Full Support die and the Crush Cancer stamp set from My Favorite Things, finished by adding some bling.   This card will go into my stash to be used later.

Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a wonderful week.  I hope you will visit again soon.
