Sunday Musings

 Hello and happy early Sunday morning, today’s drive by  post is an encouragement card. The card uses sketch inspiration from sketch  #565 over at Try Stampin on Tuesday. The paper came from the Love Nicole Time Machine 6x6 paper pad, a Studio G stamp for the sentiment and a WeR MemoryKeepers star die. I am so over this paper pad but it is my go to pad when I make male cards. This signature clean and simple card is going postal to a young solder in the Army going through a rough time.

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

CIU #257 - Treat Box or Bag

 

Hello and happy Friday, hoping we'll be getting some relief from the heatwave soon.  Today's project share is my design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  We were to create a treat bag or box for challenge #257 and the sponsor is Newton's Nook.

I created a Christmas treat bag using a Pink and Main die, paper from the Recollections Festivus 12x12 paper pad.  The die came with the tag so I just used a Big Picture stamp for the sentiment and a piece of ribbon from my stash; added some gift bag filler and this project was done.  The bag can hold small gifts (jewelry, lip balms, hand sanitizer) or food items.

Now that you've seen my project, I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration, create and share a treat bag or box using a die.  You could win a $20 gift credit from our challenge sponsor, it starts today and ends Wednesday, August 10 at noon est.

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

CIU #255 - Sketch Challenge

 

Hello Friday and welcome holiday weekend.  Today I am my latest design team project created for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #255 was to use the provided sketch to create our project, the challenge sponsor is DRS Designs.

I used a digital file provided by our challenge sponsor to create this super cut birthday card.  I still struggle with my coloring but I have markers and pencils in my stash so I have to use them. I used a sheet of piece of Recollections Rainbow Inks paper along with some other scraps from my stash to make this 5x5 card. I also used stitched dies to cut the different panels and the Stampin Up Label me Bold stamps set for the sentiment. This was my first time using this set which was gifted to me.  Finished the card by adding a few gems.

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge for more design team inspiration, create and share your project using the sketch for a chance to win a $20 gift voucher from our sponsor. The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, July 13, 2022 at noon EST.
