CIU #366 - More Than One Die Cut

 

Hello October, another busy month with lots to do and less time to play! Today’s project share is a layout that I put together documenting my participation in a 5k for ovarian cancer awareness. I am sharing this layout as my project for the  Cut it Up challenge blog. The theme for challenge #366 is to use more than one die cut. When putting my layout together I used  five different die sets (letters, butterflies, circle, number and sneaker).

I hope that you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration. Create and share your project using more than one die cut. The challenge starts today and ends Monday, October 12, 2026 at noon PST.

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

Wednesday Musings

 

Hello, rainy morning doing a quick post before I get ready for work. It has been raining most of the night so I won’t get a morning walk done but I am hopeful that I will get out this evening. I am still trying to find my crafting mojo! Today I am sharing my latest layout documenting our lunch date on Baby Girl”s birthday earlier this year. She didn’t want a big celebration so we all just went out to lunch.  I just pulled random items from my stash and loosely following a sketch I got this layout done! I used some really old die sets to cut the typewriter and numbers. I had a mishap with the splatter so that required some adjustments.

I am sharing this layout for the Anything Goes challenge over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends.

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

CIU #365 - Orange and Black

 

Hello and happy Friday, today I am sharing my project for the Cut it Up challenge blog. The theme for challenge #365 is Orange and Black (dominate colors).  I created this fall themed card using  four different die sets, a pattern piece of paper from a Love Nicole 6x6 paper pad, and a piece of acetate for the window (can't see it in the picture). I  decided not to add an additional sentiment on the front of the card. I am sharing this card for the Word Art Wednesday challenge for weeks #770-771.

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration, create and share your orange and black project using a die cut. The challenge starts today and ends Monday, September 28, 2026 at non PST.

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

 Hello Saturday, stopping in to share a Fall card created using Freshly Made Sketches  #573 for inspiration. I am still pairing random papers with scrap pierces from my stash as I am working on using unused or less used items from my stash! I used a TH Sizzix Wood Slices die set, finished by adding some Simple Stories enamel dots.  I am sharing this card for the Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes challenge for weeks #768-769.

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

Happy Thoughts

 Doing a quick drive by post to share another recently created card.  I used sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts  challenge #698, more papers from my scrap stash with some pattern paper pieces from My Minds Eye Hootenanny 6x6 paper pad. Cut the flowers from one of the Spellbinders die sets, a stamped sentiment from Hampton Arts; finished by adding a few gems and a bow tied within some twine. I am sharing this card for the September Anything Goes challenge over at A Cut Above.

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

Tuesday Musings

 Well I started this post last night and never finished , I am doing a drive by post so I can get moving toward getting out of the house this morning! I have  mixed feelings about this card as I haven’t really been in a creative mood lately and it seems my “crafting mojo’ may be on vacation! Today”s card was created using sketch inspiration from Freshly Made Skerches challenge #752. I used more papers from my scrap stash, a wreath die,  a bow die, a stamped  sentiment and a few gems. I hope this week brings me some renewed energy!

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