Tuesday Musings

 

Hello and happy Tuesday, final week of 2021 and it has been a little bit since I shared.  It's not that I haven't done anything its just that life has prevented me from sitting down and doing a blog post.  I hope you had a good holiday and that you enjoyed some time with family and friends; I  am thankful that I got to spend time with my family.  Today I am sharing another installation from my 12 days of creating memory dex cards; I have just two more that I need to do this challenge will be marked complete!  I used some Recollections paper, a Sizzix die for the santa and a Momenta die for the sentiment; added some Bo Bunny gems for the eyes.  I'm sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #156 over at CardzTV.

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe and hurry back soon.  I will be sharing my Cut it Up design team project on Friday.

CIU #241 - Holiday Gift Giving

 

Hello Friday and welcome weekend as the flurry of holiday activities continues.  Today”s project share was created for the Holiday Gift Giving challenge at the Cut it Up challenge  blog..  Our sponsor for challenge s#241 is The Cutting Cafe.

The pillow box file provided by our sponsor is the perfect packaging for lots of gifts and this challenge was the perfect time for me to finally open my Silhouette Portrait.  I won it over a year ago from one of my FB groups.  I used some Recollections paper to cut my box and since the files from  The Cutting Cafe comes with everything that you need so all I had to do is fill it once I had cut and put it together.

Now that you’ve seen my signature simple gift packaging idea I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration.  Create and share your project for a chance to win 3 designs from our challenge sponsor.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, December 29, 2021 at noon EST.

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

Monday Musings

 

Hello and happy Monday, another nice weather day here with a forecast with the possibility of some rain later today.  Today I am doing a quick drive by post to share another holiday card created after watching another YT Video from Mary over at Cardz TV.  I am indeed a hoarder of scraps so this video allowed me to finally just finish off the Simple Stories Classic Christmas 6x6 paper pad.  I cut the poinsettia using some DCWV papers and a Sizzix die, the sentiment is from the same Cardz TV stamp set that she used in the video!  I am so enjoying Mary's countdown to Christmas card series, I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #155 over at Cardz TV, happy to share one of my previously shared cards was randomly selected to receive another one of her stamps sets!

Thank you for visiting, hope you are well and practicing self-care as you go about.

Hello Friday, let the weekend begin!  Today’s project share is my design team project for challenge #240 at the Cut it Up challenge blog, and the sponsor is Oddball Art Co.

I colored the tree image from our sponsor using color pencils, used some DCWV shimmer paper  and pattern paper from  a Martha Stewart Crafts holiday mat stack; a strip of Recollections burlap ribbon and some star gems and this card was done.  This card came together quickly using papers that have been in my stash for almost ten years, I really have to make a more conscious effort to use my stash!

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration, create and share your holiday card for a chance to win a $10 gift certificate from our challenge sponsor.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, December  15, 2021 at noon EST.

Hello and happy Wednesday, another mild weather day in our area!  I am moving right along with getting my holiday cards done, hoping to get them in the mail by next weekend.  I’ve already sent cards for two different swaps so I just need to finish the cards for family and friends.  Today’s card share may very well be the one that I make  multiples, just need to see if I have the larger paper pad.  I put this card together after watching a Cardz TV YT video,  I used papers from the Craft Smith Say Freeze 6x6 paper pad, cut the deer using the December 25th Cricut cartridge, a Hero Arts stamp for the sentiment and some Gina Marie Designs enamel dots. I was really pleased with how this card came out, I think the paper choice really compliments the design.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #154 over at Cardz TV, thank you Mary for your inspiration!
