CiU #337 - Anything Goes

 Hello, happy Friday and let the weekend begin!  Today's card share is my latest project for the Cut it Up challenge blog. The theme for challenge #337 is Anything Goes, my original intent was to create a layout but as life would have it that didn't happen.  For my card I decided to use one of the Roots themed Brutus Monroe Creative Cards as my focal point.  I distressed the edges of one layer, used a cover plate die for the next layer and added the matted focal point.  I used a Prima glittered flower, some Recollections flowers with Stampin' Up gems and a stamp and die set from scrapbook.com for the sentiment.  Another card done and ready to go postal!

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration, create and share your Anything Goes project using a die. The challenge starts today and ends Monday, September 1, 2025 at noon PST.

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

Celebrate

 Hello Thankful Thursday, I wanted to share this post yesterday but as life would have it I just didn't get around to it!  For this card I used a sketch shared on the Stick it Down FB group, some random papers from Momenta and My Mind's Eye and  some dies from my stash! This card came together nicely, hoping my crafting mojo will return soon.  I am sharing this card for the August monthly charge over at A Cut Above and the Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes for the weeks 712 and 713.

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

Sunday Musings

 

Wow, the struggle is real, life has dealt me a hand that has been hard to manage lately which means there just isn't time and my mojo seems to be lacking.  I'm doing a quick card share that I created using sketch inspiration from Try a Sketch on Tuesday #676. In my effort to de-clutter I am on a quest to purge some random papers; for this card I used some pattern papers from a My Mind's Eye 6x6 paper pad, a birthday hat and label die and a Woodware stamps set for the sentiment.  Another signature clean and simple card headed out the door this week!

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe and send some positive thoughts my way.  I hope you will visit again soon.

Waving Hi

 

Hello Sunday evening, doing a quick drive by post to share one of my latest cards. I used sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts challenge #639,  I love their weekly challenges so I try to create with them every week.  The pattern papers came from a DCWV paper pad, an older My Favorite Things stamp and die set for the bear and the sentiment, added a few enamel dots to finish it!  Another clean and simple card, ready to go postal and I like it!  I am also sharing this card for challenge #552 - Wood is Good over at Shopping Our Stash.

Thank you for your visit, try to stay cool if you live in an area that will be experiencing extreme heat this week.  I hope you'll return soon!

CIU #335 - Monochromatic

 

Hello and happy Friday!   Today I am s haring my design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  I used some Creative Memories paper and flower embellishment to create my monochromatic card,  Created the scallop layers using a Spellbinders border die cutting set and a Fiskars stamp set for the sentiment and this card was done. Orange is not a color that I used often and I picked this paper up at a scrapbooking yard sale a few months ago and decided to use it.

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration, create and share your monochromatic project.  The challenge starts today and ends Monday, August 4, 2025 at noon PST.

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

Sunday Musings

 

Hello Sunday, my intention was to share this post yesterday but as life would go things changed.  Last week's  theme for 2Crafters1Design over on YT and IG was movies, perfect time for me to use a die set for the first time!  I used sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts challenge #638, papers from a Momenta pack, stamped a sentiment and added some Freckled Fawn enamel stars.  I used some antique linen ink on the popcorn might have to try something different the next time; I still think it came out fairly well.  I am also sharing this card for the Anything Goes monthly challenge over at A Cut Above.  It has been hard but I have to de-clutter and stop hoarding my crafty stash!

Thank you for your visit, stay safe and be mindful of your surroundings.  Hurry back soon!
