Tuesday Musings

 Hello Tuesday night, doing a quick drive by post to share another Mother’s Day card.  I put this clean simple card together using sketch inspiration from Try Stampin’ on Tuesday sketch #604,  pattern papers from Vicki Boutin Sweet Rush 6x8 paper pad.  Cut the flags using a Sizzix die, stamped the sentiment with a Studio G stamp and added  two brads from my stash and this card was done. The card came out cute but I think the bold print in the paper overpowers the flags.

Thank you for your visit, hurry back soon!

Happy Mother's Day

 

Good morning and Happy Sunday, Mother's Day and the start to a new week!  I am doing a quick drive by to share a LO that I put together yesterday, the only one that I completed for National Scrapbooking Day.  I had intentions of doing more but of course I didn't!  I used sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap #248, papers from the Simple Stories Faith 12x12 paper pad, the Spellbinder's Blooms #1 die set, enamel dots and pearl embellishments.  I stamped the title with an American Crafts stamp that I picked up in JoAnn's earlier this year. I added the journaling on the back, I took this selfie one day as I walked back home after dropping my car off to be serviced, I wanted to document me wearing a jumper that I had picked up from Aldi one of my favorite grocery stores!

Thank you for your visit, hope you have an amazing love filled day!

CIU #225 - Mother’s Day

 Hello Friday, let the weekend begin!  Today’s project is my first ever eclipse card created for my design team project over at Cut it Up  for challenge #225,.  The theme is Mother’s Day and the sponsor is CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.

When putting my card together I used a piece of pattern paper from a DCWV Year Round paper stack,  a piece of ribbon for the bow (used the cheater method), a Momenta alphabet set and some foam for dimension.  The next time I might use the multiple paper cuts instead of the foam. The card base is a piece of Paper Studio heavy weight card  stock.  I like how my card came out but I feel there is room for improvement.

Please visit the  Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration. Create and share your Mother’s Day project using a die for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate from our sponsor.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, May 19, 2021 at noon EST.

Use Your Scraps

Hello and happy rainy Tuesday!  I am back today not feeling up to par and unable to figure out why aside for allergy season.  I am not a real FB guru but it seems I have recently been added to more groups and challenges.  So today I am sharing another card that I put together using paper from my stash of scraps for one of the challenges.  When I was going through some stuff in an effort to de-clutter I was about to give away two flowers that came with some items that I was gifted so instead I used one of them on on this card.  Since I chose the flower first I just needed some paper,   the ribbon used was part of the gifted items too.  The sketch inspiration came from a recent Mojo Monday sketch and the stamp is from Hero Arts.

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

Take care and have a terrific Thursday!
