Double Fold Gate

 

Hello, happy Sunday, the start to a new week!  Today's card share is a double fold gate card with a ribbon closure.  I followed Creating with Kristina  video tutorial when creating my card, used pattern papers from the My Mind's Eye Fly a Kite 6x6 paper pad, a  candle die set that I ordered online, a stamp and die set for the outside sentiment and a piece of ribbon for the closure. All items used have been in my stash over a year with the exception of the candle die set!  I am sharing this card for the challenge #194 over at Tic Tac Toe Challenge.  I used the top row going across which was a die cut, fancy fold and ribbon/bow.

Winter Crafting

 

Hello and happy Monday, doing a quick drive by post to share some winter themed projects.  I created an Artist Trading Card (ATC) and a MemoryDex card using items from my stash.  When putting the ATC together I used a snowflake embossing folder, a Spellbinders die for the snowman, and a Cardz TV stamp for the sentiment. Finished by adding some gems and some faux snow from Dollar Tree!  The base of MemoryDex was cut with a die, cut the snowflake with a Szzix die, the ice skates using a Spellbinders die, the bow is a Papertrey Ink bow.  Finished by adding another Cardz TV stamp for the sentiment and some gems.  I am sharing this project for the Winter Fun challenge #488 over at Shopping Our Stash.

Thank you for your visit have a safe week and hurry back soon.

Saturday Musings

 

Hello and happy Saturday, why has it been a week since I last shared!  I guess you could blame it on life but I have been creating just not sharing.  Today I am sharing four cards using the same sketch which came from Stamptastic Designs.  I used papers from the SEI Juliette 6x6 paper pad, miscellaneous label dies and stamps from my stash.  I finished the cards by adding some Recollections pearl embellishments. I'm kicking off my 2023 use my stash campaign, hoping not to make any purchases, wish me luck!   My one word for the year is De-clutter so what better way to start off is by using and sharing my stash of crafting goodies. I am sharing this project the Anything Goes Challenge #1-2023 over at  A Perfect Time to Craft and Love to Craft Challenge #72.
