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.

Hello Tuesday doing a drive by post before  work as I actually started this post on Sunday and as life would have it I didn’t finish it! I created this card using sketch inspiration from Try a Sketch on Tuesday challenge #702. I used a Spellbinders die set for the balloons, random papers from my stash including a pattern sheet from Bazzill  School Days. Stamped the sentiment using white pigment ink and a Crafter's Square stamp.

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

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.
