Oh My Stars

 

Good Sunday morning, doing a quick drive by post as I have a long to do list today.  Today's card was created using sketch inspiration from the Sketch N Scrap card sketch #298 for June.  I used mostly papers from a Colorbok Old Glory paper pad, a Jolee jar sticker and some wood stars all items that have been in my stash for years! This is the only 4th of July card that I'll be making and it will have to be hand delivered! I have so many cards that need to go postal which means I will need to purchase more stamps soon.

Thank you for your visit, take care and I hope you will visit again soon.

Hello Tuesday, doing a quick drive by post to share another 4th of July card that I put together last week.  I meant to share it on the 4th but as life would have it I didn't get a chance to create the post.  I have several dies in my stash that I hadn't used yet so I decided to use the postage stamp die and some paper scraps  from the Pebbles  Americana 6x6 pad.  The die did most of the work so I just added a stamped sentiment, a few star gems and attached it the card base with some dimensional adhesive tape.  I am sharing this card for the inaugural challenge over at A Cut Above and the Shopping Our Stash challenge #525 never before used stuff which in this case was the postage stamp die. I had never used it because I didn't purchase anything else to go along with it.  Maybe one day I'll get some of the accompanying items but for now I'll use it! I like how this card came out; I have already started working on my next project using this die.

Thank you for your visit, take care and hurry back soon. Friday is post day for the Cut it Up challenge blog!

CIU #228 - 4th of July

 

Hello and happy Friday more seasonal temps in today’s forecast. Today’s card is my latest design team project for the Cut it Up  challenge blog. The theme is 4th of July and the challenge sponsor is The ScrapRoom.

When putting my card together I used sketch inspiration from challenge #511 over at Try Stampin on Tuesday.  The pattern papers are from the Pebbles Americana 6x6 paper pad, used some Recollections foil paper, a Tim Holtz die set and a  Cardz TV stamp for the sentiment. The rhinestone star embellishments are from Love Nicole, I am really starting to miss AC Moore.

Please visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration, create and share your 4th of July project for a chance to win a card kit from our challenge sponsor. The  challenge starts today and ends Wednesday,  June 30, 2021at noon EST.

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe and have a wonderful weekend.

Independence Day

Hello happy Thursday and 4th of July, more high temps and  pop up storms in today's forecast and rain most of the weekend.  I am up early even though I could be sleeping in, I need to start my chores which  includes going outside to pull some weeds.  Today's project share is a card that I put together using sketch inspiration from Try Stampin on Tuesday challenge #414.  I used more papers from the Pebbles Americana 6x6 paper pad, I found the tag and sentiment in my stash of  cuts  from previous projects, added some rhinestone stars and a bow tied with twine and this card was done!  I am sharing this card for Patriotic challenge #117 over at Always Fun Challenges  and the Anything Goes challenge #92 over at Cardz TV.  Since I waited so late my July 4th cards will sit in my stash until next year!

Thank you for your visit, be safe and enjoy your holiday.

Happy Independence Day

Hello and Happy 4th of July, warm temps in our area today.  I am late posting because as life would have it time just got away.  Today's project share is a card that I put together using sketch inspiration from challenge #460 over at Tuesday Morning Sketches.  I used scraps from the Pebbles Americana paper pad, cut the sentiment using a Tim Holtz Sizzix thinlit die,  added a few Love Nicole rhinestone stars and this card was done!  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #54 over at Cardz TV.  Thank you for your visit,  be safe and enjoy your holiday.

Happy July

Hello and  happy Sunday, it has been a real lazy day but I need to get moving!  Today I am doing a driveby post to share a card created using skertch inspiration from challenge #270 over at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.  This is one of the cards that I worked on while I was at the crop yesterday. I used papers from the Pebbles Americana 6x6 paper pad, a sentiment stamp from Fun Stampers Journey and the little bow die is from Crafter's Companion.  I cut the fireworks with the Stand & Salute Cricut cartridge.  I didn't get this card in the mail yesterday so the recipient won't receive it before the 4th!  I am also sharing this card for the Shopping Our Stash  challenge #360 - Red, White & Blue.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll come back soon.

Happy 4th

Hello and happy Saturday, more cloudiness and rain in today's forecast.  My plan today is to clean and do some organizing and planning since I am going to a crop tomorrow.  I sure hope I get more done than I did the last time!  Today's card share is one that I made using inspiration from Fall to Layout 76 Take Two from Palm Trees & Pogo Sticks, which is the new home for Clean & Simple Stamping sketches.  I loved this sketch and I like my finished card, used more scraps of paper, twine, a star punch and lots of dimensional tape!  Take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Tuesday Musings

Hello and happy Tuesday, I'm back today to share another one of my clean and simple signature cards!  We are in the last week of June with July coming in on Saturday so I decided to put together a few 4th of July cards.  The blue pattern paper came from a Martha Stewart Seasonal pad that I picked up in Tuesday Morning recently, the star was cut using the Summer Celebrations cricut cartridge using a sheet of the white pearl finish linen paper from Dollar Tree, added some glimmer mist to the red layer but you can't see it in the picture and finished the card by adding some mini starts from Nicole. I'm sharing this card for the First and Third Challenge 4th of July challenge over at SOC; the Any Holiday Challenge #306 over at Hiding in my Craft Room and the Cardz TV Card Crazy Crafters Anything Goes Challenge #4.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll come back again soon!

Happy Friday

Hello  Friday are you excited and ready for the holiday weekend?  Do you have plans or will you be like me and do whatever?   It is currently raining here and I am about to get dressed for work.   I was up past midnight putting this card together because I wanted to share it for a challenge over at Scraps of Color since I missed the posting deadline for the last challenge.   I am also sharing this card for  challenge #256 - Any Holiday over at Hiding in my Craft Room.  I used some leftover paper from last year's cards along with a stamp that I colored with my Spectrum Noir markers..  Proud of myself for coloring and using a Stampendous stamp for the first time that has been in my stash for several years.  I  finished the card by adding some stickles, sequins and one of my planner stamps for the sentiment!

Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a safe and fun holiday.

Happy 4th

Happy Independence Day!  I'm back today to share the last of the three cards that I made for the 4th of July;  they all went postal but I'm not sure they will receive them in time!  Today's card is one where I decided not to use more of the pattern paper instead I used a star embossing folder  I cut the firecracker using the cricut Summer Celebrations Cartridge, a Hero Arts stamp for the sentiment and added a few sequins and the card was done.  Even though it seems simple when I say what I did to the card it still takes me forever to complete a project!  I hope the card arrives with the sequins in tact!

Take care and enjoy your holiday!

Hello and Happy Tuesday, I am back today to share another holiday card that is going postal today!  I  am hoping that it arrives by Friday.  The inspiration for this card came from a design team member's post that was shared over at Scraps of Color, she posted that the sketch she used came was sketch #46 from Deconstructed Sketch.  I am all about clean and simple sketches so I decided to use it right away since I was making 4th of July cards; I only made three!  As previously shared I used papers from Recollections and the Paper Stack along with a few gems and stars; the sentiment is from the Summer Celebrations cricut cartridge.

I'm sharing this card for the anything goes challenge posted over at Use Your Stuff, they will have this challenge posted throughout the summer so you can participate/share too!

Take care and make it a great day!

Summer Fun

Hello and happy Friday, it's raining here and I really want to go back to bed!  I have way too much to do so I must press on!  Today's project is a LO using pictures taken on July 4th when my daughter and I attended a community outreach event at one of the local churches.  I used pattern paper from DCWV year round paper stack, washi tape, foam star stickers, and jellies.  The word summer was cut using the cricut gypsy wanderings  cartridge and I used K&Co epoxy stickers for the word fun.  The sketch inspiration for this LO is  from Tiare's Desk  to Done challenge #41 and will be shared for this week's Anything Goes blog challenge over at Scraps of Color.  Wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend.

Red, White & Blue

Hello Saturday, today I'm sharing a simple card that I put together for this week's blog challenge over at Scraps of Color.  I am happy to say that I have completed all of the blog post challenges and I am now current!  Now to get through the next few days of my own personal challenge.  Today's card was made using some pattern paper  that was in my scrap drawer along with a file from the Silhouette online store, a little distress ink and a Hero Arts stamp.  Wishing you and yours a great day!
