Sunday Musings

 

Hello Sunday evening, doing a quick drive by post to share a card that I created this weekend. I used sketch inspiration form Atlantic Hearts challenge #1653 and a piece of pattern paper from a paper pad that was sitting on my desk from a recently created project.  Cut the snowflakes using two different die sets and the sentiment is a Sizzix TH die set; hard to see in the picture but  I added vellum to the oval opening.  Each snowflake also has a glittered gem in the center. 

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

CIU #342 - Thankful, Grateful, Blessed

 

Hello Friday, happy Halloween to those that celebrate. Today’s card share was created for the Cut it Up challenge blog, the theme for challenge #342 is Thankful, Grateful, Blessed. When putting my card together I used a book die, stamp and die set for the sentiment, some glimmer mist and distress ink. This was my first time using the book die and since this card came together nicely I plan to use it again soon!  I am sharing this card for challenge #559 - Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice over at Shopping Our Stash.

Please visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration. Create and share your project using a die cut and the theme, the challenge starts today and ends Monday, November 10, 2025 at noon PST.

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

Gift Packaging

 Hello Thursday, this week has gone by so fast and I really haven't had time to play!  Today's project share is a simple decorating idea for some packaging.  I needed something small to gift a magnet that I had picked up on a recent road trip.  I had some DIY bags in my stash so I just decided  to decorate the bag using a tree cut from the Pagoda Cricut cartridge.  I had pulled this cartridge for an Asian themed challenge hosted by 2Crafters1Design over on YT and IG.  Tied  a bow  using some twine and stamped a sentiment and it was done.  I'm sharing this project for the Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes challenge for weeks #722 - #723.

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

CIU #341 - Add Embellishments

 

Hello and happy Friday,  welcome to the weekend.  Today's card share is my project created for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #341 is Add Embellishments.  I had those Jolee donut stickers sitting on my desk leftover from another project so I just decided to use them on this coffee and donut themed card.  II used a postage stamp die along with two different coffee cup dies and a stamp sentiment from My Favorite Things. I was so sad that they closed their shop.  In addition to my donut embellishments I used some enamel hearts!  Another friend card completed and ready to go postal!

I hope that you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for  more inspiration. Create and share your project using a die and adding some embellishments.  The challenge starts today and ends, Monday, October 27, 2025 at noon PST.

Thank you for your visit and your comments; I hope you will visit again soon.

Hi Friend

 

Hello,  Happy Indigenous Peoples Day and the start of a new work week.  Even though today is a holiday I am going into work as I need to take off on Friday. Today's project share is a card created using sketch inspiration from the second WCMD sketch shared over on Sketch N Scrap. I used some random papers from a Kiwi Lane card kit that someone gifted me some time ago, the struggle is real trying to get through my stash of crafty goodies!  I cut the focal point using the Create-a-Critter 2 Cricut cartridge and used a Fiskars stamp for the sentiment which I heat embossed.  Another card done to add to my stash.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge for weeks #720-721 over at Word Art Wednesday.

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

The pattern papers and sentiment sticker came from the Me and My Big Ideas Breast Cancer Survivor page kit. Another card done and ready to go postal soon.

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