CIU #365 - Orange and Black

 

Hello and happy Friday, today I am sharing my project for the Cut it Up challenge blog. The theme for challenge #365 is Orange and Black (dominate colors).  I created this fall themed card using  four different die sets, a pattern piece of paper from a Love Nicole 6x6 paper pad, and a piece of acetate for the window (can't see it in the picture). I  decided not to add an additional sentiment on the front of the card. I am sharing this card for the Word Art Wednesday challenge for weeks #770-771.

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration, create and share your orange and black project using a die cut. The challenge starts today and ends Monday, September 28, 2026 at non PST.

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

Saturday Musings

 Hello Saturday, stopping in to share a Fall card created using Freshly Made Sketches  #573 for inspiration. I am still pairing random papers with scrap pierces from my stash as I am working on using unused or less used items from my stash! I used a TH Sizzix Wood Slices die set, finished by adding some Simple Stories enamel dots.  I am sharing this card for the Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes challenge for weeks #768-769.

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

Happy Thoughts

 Doing a quick drive by post to share another recently created card.  I used sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts  challenge #698, more papers from my scrap stash with some pattern paper pieces from My Minds Eye Hootenanny 6x6 paper pad. Cut the flowers from one of the Spellbinders die sets, a stamped sentiment from Hampton Arts; finished by adding a few gems and a bow tied within some twine. I am sharing this card for the September Anything Goes challenge over at A Cut Above.

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.
