CIU #354 - Colors of Spring

 

Hello, happy Friday; let the weekend begin!  Today's project share was created for the Cut it Up challenge blog. The theme for challenge #354 is Spring Colors, 

I used sketch inspiration from Try a Sketch on Tuesday #693, papers from Illustrated Faith, a coneflower die, a Spellbinders die for the sentiment; finished by adding a few gems!  I like how this card came together and the coneflower die is one of my favorites! I am sharing this card for the monthly Anything Goes challenge over at A Cut Above, this month's challenge includes an optional twist - pastels!

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration, create and share your project using Spring colors. The challenge starts today and ends Monday, April 27, 2026 at noon PST. Don't forget to use a die.

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

Wednesday Musings

 

Hello Wednesday, where does the time go? This month, this year it’s just passing like a whirlwind! Today’s project share is a card created using mostly random scraps of paper from my stash,  trying to be more intentional about using my scraps. I even used an old textured card base from a box of Hot Buy cards from Michaels, one flower is from Fun Stampers Journey and the two are Paper Studio (spare parts; all items that have been in my stash for a number of years.  Added a few gems and a stamped sentiment and this card was done!  

I am sharing this card for the Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes for Weeks 748-749 and Cards Galore Anything Goes monthly challenge

Friday Musings

 

Hello and welcome to the weekend! I am doing a quick drive by post to share another birthday card.  I created this card using sketch inspiration from Try a Sketch on Tuesday challenge #692.  The patterned pieces of paper came from a Crafters Square paper pack, and the other papers are mostly scraps, the sentiment die is one that I have had for a while, finished the card by adding some sequins! This bright and cheery card will probably be added to my stash until I need a card for a kid.

I haven't had much time to play this week but it's the weekend and I hope to at least get some playtime! Thank you for your visit, take care and hurry back again soon.

Happy Birthday Cheryl

 

Stopping in today to share another card, that I created for one of my scrapping besties.  I used a mix of items that have been in my stash for a while including a cover plate (Bold Curves), some flowers cut with a Spellbinders die set, cut the sentiment using a scrapbook.com die set and finished by adding a few gems. It has some imperfections, need to figure out if the cover plate or the paper is the problem. 

I am sharing this card for the Shopping Our Stash #570 - White Our and the April challenge to create a birthday or anniversary card over at Die Cut Divas.
