Just For Ewe

 

Hello and happy Monday, if you are in the US you may be celebrating Indigenous Peoples' Day. I should have taken the off too but I will save that time for another day.  Today I am sharing a card created using sketch inspiration from Freshly Made Sketches #757. When putting this card together I used more paper scraps, something old (embossing folder) and something relatively new to my stash. The Spellbinders Counting Sheep stamp and die set is something that I recently purchased.  This is one of those cards that looks just like what you originally visioned!

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

CIU #361 - Emboss It

 

Hello and happy Friday, welcome to another card created for the Cut it Up challenge blog. The theme for challenge #361 is Emboss It (dry or heat) and I did both!  I embossed the background panel using the Spellbinders Splatter  embossing folder, colored it using distress oxide ink (stormy sky) and some Recollections ink for the green. Cut the wheelbarrow,  flower pots and tulips using different dies from my stash, heat embossed the sentiment and this card is ready to go postal!

I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenges over at A Cut Above and Word Art Wednesday for Weeks #762-763.

Now that you have seen my embossed project I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration. Create and share your embossed project (dry or heat) and don’t forget to use a die. The challenge starts today and ends Monday,  August 3, 2026 at noon PST.

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

Saturday Musings

 

Hello and happy Saturday night! I'm doing a quick drive by post of a card that I put together earlier today.  I created this card for the crafty dare challenge where I had to use distress inking (around the edges), embossing (dot folder) and snow which I cut with my cricut.  The snowman is a Darice die and the sentiment is from a Cardz TV stamp set.  I sam sharing this card for challenge 471 Winter/Snow over at Use Your Stuff.

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

Happy Birthday Dad

 

Hello and happy Tuesday, today is my dad’s 81st birthday and of course his cards will probably be late!  I got caught up celebrating Baby Girl and mailed his cards late.  Oh well I may take off and drive down to take him to lunch depending schedules and resources.  I created this card after watching some YT videos using the Sizzix 3-D embossing folder, it had been in my stash for almost two years and I hadn't used it.  I used some alphabet letter dies to to cut the word dad and a Woodware stamp set for the sentiment which I heat embossed, added a few black gems to complete the card.  Another card done using something that has been sitting in my stash unused!

Thank you for your visit, I hope you'll return soon.

Saturday Musings

Hello and happy Saturday, it is currently raining cats and dogs but they have cancelled the total wash out!  My original plan was stay indoors all day but as life would have those plans have changed.  I am up trying to get in a little 'me time' in before we have to go out.

I am back today to share a wedding card that I made for one of my crafting besties.  I struggled with the card because I really wanted to do something a little different.  I used a large background stamp from Sizzix that I heat embossed.  The stamp was  gifted to me by the recipient of the card.  I cut the sentiment using the cricut CTMH Artiste cartridge, used gold paper from a MS paper pad along with a piece of ribbon and a few gems.   I am pleased with end result and happy that I was able to use more items from my stash!  I am sharing this card for challenge #223 - Heat Embossing over at  Use Your Stuff.

Take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

It's cold outside, no snow though so I am happy.   I spent some time sorting and organizing before I worked on today's project as I am on a challenge for LENT.  I am back today to share another Valentine's Day card that took many twists and turns before I finally called it done.  After many tries on getting the jar to stamp crisp I wondered why I didn't just use a punch or die since I have several in my stash.  Oh well I guess I was just intent on using the stamps that came in the Recollections set.  I fussy cut the jar added some pop dots and put it on the card; I also used two different embossing folders.  I am sharing this card for this week's embossing folder challenge over at  Use Your Stuff.

Thank you for your visit, be safe and enjoy Valentine's Day.

Tuesday Musings

My how time flies, my play time keeps getting interrupted by life!  I have been trying to post since Sunday.  My friend Felisa is always on the look out for simple scrapping ideas and she forwards them to me and a lot of time she lets me know if I win a challenge too!  Today I am sharing a card that I made over the weekend using one of the ideas that she sheared last week.  I know this idea isn't new and perhaps I have even used it before but it is just what I needed so I plan to mass produce it since I have way too many embossing folders sitting around not being used.  Now I just need to find the time to make it happen!

Take care and have a great day!  We are waking up to cooler temps, how's the weather in your area?
