Happy New Year's Eve

 

I'm cutting it down to the wire but I'm sharing my last post for the year.  Today's card uses a die that has been sitting unused on my desk for some time, the Spellbinders gift border and sentiment die, I used papers from the Vicki Boutin Sweet Rush paper pad, some CTMH Bitty Sparkles(which aren't visible in the picture) and a Spellbinders stamped sentiment.  Both the die and sentiment stamp were items that I used for the first time.  I am sharing this card for Challenge #155 Die-cember over at Double Trouble and the December challenge #57 over at Never Been Used Stuff.

Thank you for your visit and I hope you will visit again soon.  Wishing you and your a Happy New Year!

CIU #294 - Anything Goes

 

Hello and happy Friday, let the weekend begin!  Today's project share is the card that I prepared for the Cut it Up challenge blog challenge #294; the theme is Anything Goes.

When putting my card together I used sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap card challenge #256, some random papers that were sitting my desk, a circle die, use my Cricut to cut the numbers, added some faux stitching, and stamped the sentiment with a Spellbinders stamp.  Added some Recollections pearls and the card was done, I will make a few more and put them in the mail to family and friends. I am sharing this card for the Winter Holidays challenge #512  over at Shopping Our Stash.

I hope that you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration.  Create and share your project using a die, the challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, January 10, 2024 at noon PST.

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

Friday Musings

 

Hello Friday, this week has been a struggle but I'm trying to stay positive and keep pressing.  So much going on that I am not really in the holiday mood because I don't feel well.  Today's card was created for this week's #craftydares that is hosted over on IG,  the dare was to use splatter, 2024 and crafter's choice. I used a siliver piece of paper for the base, paint splattered the black layer and used some Paper Studio letters for the sentiment and a Sizzix die set for the rectangle and numbers.  It's hard see because of the splatters but I did add some tiny star embellishments too.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #737 over at Tuesday Morning Sketches.

Thank you for your visit, continue to stay safe and hug your love ones a little tighter this holiday season.  Take care and hurry back soon.

 Hello and happy little Friday, doing a quick drive by post to share another Christmas card.  I created this card using sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap challenge #255, more papers from the Recollections Frosted Juniper 6x6 paper pad, a Sizzix die for the skates and greenery; I used a Spellbinders die for the flower.  Finished the card by adding a stamped sentiment and some tiny stars.  This was my first time using the skate die and it took a while to figure out the laces.  I'm sharing this card for the December Christmas challenge over at Dragonfly Dreams.

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

CIU #292 - More Than One Die

 

Hello December and happy Friday, let the weekend begin.  Today's project share is my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  For challenge #292 we were to use more than one die, and I used four; the oval, circle, snowflake and the small stitched rectangle for the sentiment.

When putting the card together I used sketch inspiration from last month's card sketch on the Stick it Down  FB group.  I used papers from  the Recollections  Frosted Juniper 6x6 paper pad, several dies, a Spellbinders stamp for the sentiment and some Bo Bunny gems and this card was done!  I'm running behind on my holiday cards so I need to step up my game if I am going to make the post office deadline!

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration, create and share your project using more than one die.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, December 13, 2023 at noon PST.

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe, spread love as you go about!  I hope you will visit again soon.
