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,

Planting Smiles

 

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.

Hello Wednesday

Hello and happy Wednesday, it has been a week since I last shared; time really does fly! Today”s card share was created using a die set that was recently added to my stash and some random papers, lots of scraps. I am sharing this card for the August Anything Goes challenges over at A Cut Above and Crafting Happiness.

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!

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.
