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!

Sunday Musings

 

Hello and happy Saturday, doing a quick drive by post to share a card created for someone that needed some encouragement. I used sketch inspiration from Try a Sketch on Tuesday #700, papers from my scrap stash and a stamped sentiment from one of the American Crafts Bible Journaling sets. I didn’t add any gems since the card is going to a male. I am still using my stash, trying to organize and declutter so my posting is a little sporadic!

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

CIU #361 - Emboss It

 

Hello and happy Friday, welcome to another card created for the Cut it Up challenge blog. The theme for challenge #361 is Emboss It (dry or heat) and I did both!  I embossed the background panel using the Spellbinders Splatter  embossing folder, colored it using distress oxide ink (stormy sky) and some Recollections ink for the green. Cut the wheelbarrow,  flower pots and tulips using different dies from my stash, heat embossed the sentiment and this card is ready to go postal!

I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenges over at A Cut Above and Word Art Wednesday for Weeks #762-763.

Now that you have seen my embossed project I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration. Create and share your embossed project (dry or heat) and don’t forget to use a die. The challenge starts today and ends Monday,  August 3, 2026 at noon PST.

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

Christmas Cheer

 Hello and happy Sunday,  doing a drive by post to share another holiday card. I used sketch inspiration from Freshly Made Sketches #744, Recollections pattern paper, a postage stamp die set, created my reindeer girl using a marshmallow die set with  several other die sets! I really had to shop my stash to get this project done. The sentiment came from an ephemera pack from my stash. This is my second Christmas in July card, not sure if I will have time to create others.

I am sharing this card for the Die Cut Divas Christmas in July challenge.

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

CIU #360 - Create Your Own Background

 Hello Friday, today's card share is my project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #360 is Create Your Own Background. I created my background by die cutting the butterflies and  randomly glued them on the background layer;  cut the butterfly panel with the stitched rounded corner edge rectangle die thereby creating an embossed look background.  I then added the lilac colored butterfly on top of one of the butterflies on the  and finished by adding a stamped image and some mini gems. The inspiration for this card came from one of the people that I follow on YT. 

I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenges over at A Cut Above and Crafting Happiness.

I hope that you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration, create and share your project; don't forget to use a die. The challenge starts today and ends Monday July 20, 2026 at noon PST. We are also hosting a 1000 followers blog
