CIU #313 - Colors of Fall/Autumn

 Hello and happy Friday, the weekends get shorter and shorter!  Today's project share is my project for the Cut it Up challenge blog for challenge #313.  The theme is Colors of  Fall/Autumn, Fall is my favorite season.  

When creating my card I used sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts sketch challenge #595, the pattern papers came from the Simple Stories Fall Farmhouse paper pad, and the sticker sentiment is from Elle's Studio. I used an embossing folder, a TH Sizzix coffee cup die and Sizzix Stephanie Barnard dotted oval die and finished it off by adding some gems.  All items have been in my stash for a while. I'm also sharing this card for challenge #530 over at Shopping Our Stash -  Don't Really Need Another One, true confessions I don't need another coffee cup die!

Head on over to the Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration; create and share your Fall/Autumn colored project.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, October 2, 2024 at noon PST.

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

Sending Hugs

 Hello rainy Tuesday, liquid sunshine in the forecast for the next few days.  Today's card share is one that I created using sketch inspiration from Try a Sketch on Tuesday challenge #655, papers from an old My Mind's Eye 6x6 pad (trying to finish it off), some butterflies that I punched/die cut, added some gems and used  a Unity Stamps die for the sentiment.  I am also sharing this card for the Double Trouble  any way you punch it challenge #175 Word Art Wednesday anything goes challenge for weeks 665 and 666.

Thank you for your visit, I hope you have been inspired to create and share; continue to be safe and hurry back soon.

Sunday Musings

 

Hello and happy Sunday, doing a quick drive by post to share another card that I recently created.  I used sketch inspiration from Tuesday Morning Sketches #773 and some papers from an American Crafts 6x6 pad that was headed to the donate pile.  I really need to work on de-cluttering and organizing my stash.  I used a CTMH stamp for the sentiment, some Recollections flowers and I finished by adding some diamond dottz to the centers of the flowers.  Another card done and ready to go postal soon.

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

Thursday Musings

 It's another Thankful Thursday!  Today's project share is a clean and simple card that I created, the recipient is a male recently diagnosed with cancer.  I thought the flower pattern in the paper was subtle enough for a man.  I used sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts challenge #594,  Violet Studio papers, a Stampabilities stamp and some gems.  This card is going postal in tomorrow's mail, still trying to put a dent in my scraps of paper and my unused stash.

Thank you for your visit, I hope you'll return again soon!  Take care and be safe!

Expo

Hello and happy Tuesday, doing a quick drive by post as I need to get out and get my walk in before work.  Today I am finally sharing a layout that, I actually completed two layouts this past weekend!  For this layout I used pictures from a Stamp and Scrapbook Expo that I went to earlier this year, this was actually my first time attending.  I went with a group of ladies from a local scrapbook club! I used blocks of patten paper from the Simple Stories Crafty Things 6x8 paper pad, empherma, stickers, enamel dots and my label maker.  I am sharing this layout for the Challenge YOURself #129 Use Lots of Pattern Paper.  

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

Sunday Musings

 

Hello and happy Sunday, doing a quick drive by post as  I need to eat, get dressed and get out!  Today's card share is one created using sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts  sketch challenge #593 and more papers from an old fall themed paper pack.  I used a Cottage Cutz scallop rectangle die set, a Sizzix tag die set, a Love Nicole stamp set for the sentiment and finished by adding a Recollection flower and gems.  The card came together quite nicely and will be going postal later this week

CIU #312 - What's in Your Garden?

 

Hello and happy Friday, although it was a short work week it has felt longer.  Today's project share is my design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog; the theme for this challenge is What's in Your Garden.

I love sunflowers, they just seem to make me light up; I like that they grow tall and stand out!  For my card I used a sunflower die, a leaf and stem die and a dotted oval die for the stamped sentiment.  The plaid paper is a sheet from a Simple Stories fall themed paper pad and the sentiment came from a CTMH set gifted to me from a coworker.  I made this card with one of my scrappin' besties in mind so it will be going postal later today. I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #127 over at Cards Galore.

Now that you've seen what's in my garden I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration, create and share your project.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, September 18, 2024 at noon PST.

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