Friday Musings

 

Hello Friday, let the weekend begin! Doing a quick drive by post to share a birthday card using sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap card sketch #294.  Pattern papers from the K&Co Antique 6x8 paper pad, die cut a heart and tag; added a Crafter's Square flower. Finished by adding some Spellbinders gems and a stamped sentiment.  I think the card looks better in person and it will be going postal in the morning to one of my friends' grandmother.

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

Black History Month

 Hello and happy Wednesday, as February comes to an end I wanted share a card that I created for BHM, although I celebrate all year not just February.  This year marks the 100th year of officially celebrating Black History Month.

For my card I used sketch inspiration from Try a Sketch on Tuesday challenge #689.  I used items that have been in stash for years with the exception of the one piece of paper that I recently picked up from Michaels.  I made several projects using the one sheet of Recollections double sided paper.  I also used some random embossing folders, my Cricut to cut the sentiment and a Sizzix stamp set for the word celebrate which was heat embossed.

Thank you for your visit and comment, I hope you will visit again soon.

CIU #350 - By the Sea

 

Hello and happy Friday and happy post day for the Cut it Up challenge blog. The theme for challenge #350 is By the Sea (ocean, lake, river). This clean and simple card came together quickly with a few die cuts, some inking, a few some embellishments and a stamped sentiment.

I hope that you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration, create and share your By the Sea project. The challenge starts today and ends Monday, March 2, 2026 at noon PST.

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

Love

 

Hello Tuesday, I am doing a quick share of another card that I recently created.   We should share and express love at anytime but February is when we celebrate Heart Health month and Valentines Day. I created my card using sketch inspiration from the Stick it Down group on FB, papers from the Recollections Girl Squad paper pad, a Recollections embossing folder and the Inspire (Spellbinders) Love Vine die for the focal point. I really shopped my stash on this one and it came together nicely and will be going postal soon;  I need to be more intentional in getting my cards in the mail!

I am sharing this card for the February Reds and Pinks challenge over at Die Cut Divas and the Tic Tac Toe challenge number 286 using the top row across (hearts, die cutting, red/pink).

Hello Sunday

 Hello and happy Sunday, the start to a new week with new possibilities!   Today's card share was created using inspiration for Atlantic Hearts sketch challenge #668 and random paper scraps sitting on my desk! The typewriter is a Coco and Reno die from the snail mail set, added a few gems and this card with done. I used an EK Success punch for the smaller blocks. Another card done and ready to go postal, I really need to be more intentional about mailing my cards.

Happy Love Day

Hello and Happy Love Day, doing a quick drive by post sharing a card that I created earlier this week.  Actually I have been trying to post for a few days but as life would have I just didn't get around to getting it done.  I didn't follow a sketch, just used some papers from a Honey Bee Stamps paper  pad, some mini envelope die cuts and a heart die cut for the sentiment.  Finished by adding some enamel hearts and a heat embossed sentiment using a Sizzix stamp.

I'm sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge for weeks 738-739 over at Word Art Wednesday and the Just Us Girls  challenge #810 -  Word Week - Valentines.

Thank you for your visit, take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend. I hope you will visit again soon.
