Tuesday Musings

 Hello and happy Tuesday, more warm temps in today's forecast.  Doing a drive by post to share another card created using inspiration from a Stick it Down challenge hosted on FB.  I used mostly paper scraps from my stash and a TH butterfly die and a stamped sentiment and this card was done! I really like it as I have been trying to use that piece of paper for while. I'm sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #235 over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends and the Just Because challenge #529 over at Shopping Our Stash.

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

CIU #311 - Anything Goes

 

Hello and happy Friday, let the weekend begin! Today's card share is my design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #311 is Anything Goes, I really wanted to share a scrapbook layout but I didn't have a chance to finish it.

When putting this card together I pulled out another die and stamp set that I hadn't used, it is called Carpe Denim from Concord and 9th.  I used papers from the Vicki Boutin  Color Study for the panels and scraps for everything else!  Heat embossed the stamped sentiment, added some Paper Studio gems to the jacket a flag and a few sequins and it was done!

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration, create and share your project using a die.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, September 4, 2024 at noon PST.

Take care, continue to be safe and hurry back again soon!

Monday Musings

 

Hello and happy Monday, I'm stopping in to do a drive by post of another card. My original plan was to share yesterd but as you can see that  didn't happen.  Today's share is a card created using some gingerbread dies that I recently added to my stash during the Amazon Prime days!  The plaid paper is from Park Lane and the foil is from Recollections. The orginial plan was to use a cookie sheet but I didn't have a die that was sized in proportion with my card but I've since added one from the Silhouette design store for futuer use!  I've gotten really lazy which means my electronic diecutting machines aren't my "go to" tool of choice! I'm sharing this card for the August Anything Goes challenge over at A Cut Above, another blog that host monthly challenges where you can share projects created using dies.

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

Happy Birthday Rachelle

 

Hello and happy Friday, let the weekend begin.  Today I am sharing a card that I created for one of  my scrapping BFFS Rachelle is celebrating her birthday today; my cousin Josiah is also celebrating his birthday today.  When putting the card together I used several items from my stash for the first time, the Spellbinders rainboot die, the frame die and the pattern paper.  I like how this card came out and I hope Rachelle is pleased even though it is going to be late! I'm sharing this card over on NBUS August challenge #65 and Word Art Wednesday challenge 661-662.

CIU #310 - Thinking of You

 

Hello Friday, today's card share is my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  When putting my card together I used mostly scraps of paper, the pattern piece came from the Pink Fresh Studio Some Days 6x6 paper pad, the speech bubble die set is from Photoplay (picked) it up when I went to the Stamp and Scrapbook Expo in June.  Used an old Studio G stamp for the sentiment and added a few Violet Studio gems and this card was done!

Sunday Musings

 Hello and happy Sunday, doing a quick drive by post to share another card.  I created this card as part of the @craftydares challenge over on IG using sketch inspiration from Try A Sketch on Tuesday challenge #651. The dares for this challenge were:  fall, purple and embossing.  I used papers from my stash, a TH Sizzix Funky Floral wreath die, a Darice leaf embossing folder and the Cherry Lynn Fall word die (recently added to my stash) and the hello stamp is from Hero Arts! Looking at the finished card I noticed I made a placement error but I can't move the elements around now!

Today is Felisa's birthday and this is the card I made for her.  I used sketch #588 from Atlantic Hearts, papers from a Violet Studio paper pad, stamp and die tulip set that I picked up from Amazon (first time using it).  Finished the card by adding a stamped sentiment and some gems!  I colored the the tulips with some alcohol markers, I am still struggling as a colorist!  The card has gone postal but she won't receive it until after her birthday!
