CIU #363 - Moving Along

 Hello Friday, sharing my project for the Cut it Up challenge blog. The theme for challenge #363 is Moving Along (Transportation). I decided to use a bicycle which I cut using a Sizzix die which was part of a set. This card contains a mix of old and new to my stash items.  The paper and sticker used for the sentiment were purchases from this year. 

I am sharing this card for the Word Art Wednesday challenge for weeks #766-767.

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration, create and share your transportation themed project using a die. The challenge starts today and ends Monday, August 31, 2026 at noon PST.

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

Happy Birthday Rachelle

 

Hello and happy Sunday doing a drive by post to share a card that I created for one of my crafting friends. I am not sure why but I almost forgot so she'll be getting her card late. I created the envelope shaped card using the Spellbinders Envelope of Wonder die set.  l used a MS punch for the butterflies and added gems to some of the flowers and stamped the sentiment. This is one of those sets that requires time and patience; not sure when I will use it again! 

I shared this card over on IG for a shaped  card challenge and for the Tic Tac Toe challenge #299. I used the right diagonal row (insects, gems, free).

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

Hello

 

It’s Wednesday and I am doing a quick drive by post before I go out for an evening walk. Today I am sharing a card created using sketch inspiration from  Atlantic Hearts challenge #694 and scraps of paper from a Close to my Heart  kit. I cut the flower using my Cricut, tied a bow with some twine and added  a few enamel dots and this card was done. I am sharing this card for the monthly Anything Goes challenge over at A Cut Above  where this month they have an added twist to their challenge;;they would like to see Fall flowers on your project!

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe in the heat and hurry back again soon,

Hello and happy Monday, the weekend goes by way to fast! I am doing a drive by post as I meant to share yesterday but didn’t get a chance. I am sending this card to my cousin as she is an avid gardener but going through a rough time right now. I hope this card lifts her spirits and makes a way for healing and restoration. When putting the card together I used stamps and dies from Waffle Flower Green Thumb and paper from my stash.

I am sharing this card for the Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes challenge for weeks #764-765 and Just Us Girls challenge #835 - Die Week,

Thank you for your visit, take care and have a wonderful week. I hope you will visit again soon.

CIU #362 - Add a Sentiment

 Hello and happy Friday, today’s project share is a card created for the  Cut it Up challenge blog. This week’s theme is Add a Sentiment. This signature clean and simple card was created using more stash items as I continue to try to de-clutter. The zigzag frame and sentiment are both dies sets from Scrapbook.com. The translucent paper is from a Canson  Effects Papercraft paper pad that has been in my stash for at least six years.

I hope that you will visit the  Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration, create and share your project using the theme and a die. The challenge starts today and ends Monday, August 17, 2026 at noon PST.

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

Today”s card share was created using a die set that was recently added to my stash and some random papers, lots of scraps.

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

Wednesday Musings

 

Hello Wednesday, doing a quick drive by post to share a card created using sketch inspiration from  Atlantic Hearts challenge #692. I created this card by stamping the image on a watercolor piece of paper, colored it with some Recollection watercolor crayons (something that has been in my stash for a very long time). The color actualy has a shimmer to it I guess that's why the packaging says speciality!  I am having a hard time parting with stuff as I de-clutter so I am using it to see if it should remain in my stash for a little while longer.  I cut the image with the die, assembled the card, added a stamped sentiment and a few gems and the card was done.

Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll vsit again soon!
