CIU #277 - Ribbons and Bows

 

Hello Friday and Happy Cinco de Mayo!  Today's project share is  my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #277 is Ribbons and Bows.  I created my card using inspiration from a YT video while searching for some inspiration using the bow die since this was my first time using the die.  I have so many items in my stash that I haven't used ; I need to get in the practice of using my stash as soon as I purchase them.  I used the Tim Holtz  Sizzix Bowtied Colorize Die set for the bow (I didn't use the tails)  and a circle die set for the circles that I used to create the background on the card base. I used Recollections silver foiled card stock and DCWV Glitzzy Pastel paper stack for the circles.  I finished the card by adding a small tag with a stamped sentiment.

Now that you've seen my project, I hope you will head over to the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration, create and share your ribbons and bows project.  The challenge starts today and ends, Wednesday, May 17, 2023 at noon PST, don't forget to use a die.

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

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.

Tuesday Musings

 

Hello and happy Tuesday, final week of 2021 and it has been a little bit since I shared.  It's not that I haven't done anything its just that life has prevented me from sitting down and doing a blog post.  I hope you had a good holiday and that you enjoyed some time with family and friends; I  am thankful that I got to spend time with my family.  Today I am sharing another installation from my 12 days of creating memory dex cards; I have just two more that I need to do this challenge will be marked complete!  I used some Recollections paper, a Sizzix die for the santa and a Momenta die for the sentiment; added some Bo Bunny gems for the eyes.  I'm sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #156 over at CardzTV.

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe and hurry back soon.  I will be sharing my Cut it Up design team project on Friday.

Monday Musings

 

Hello and happy Monday, another nice weather day here with a forecast with the possibility of some rain later today.  Today I am doing a quick drive by post to share another holiday card created after watching another YT Video from Mary over at Cardz TV.  I am indeed a hoarder of scraps so this video allowed me to finally just finish off the Simple Stories Classic Christmas 6x6 paper pad.  I cut the poinsettia using some DCWV papers and a Sizzix die, the sentiment is from the same Cardz TV stamp set that she used in the video!  I am so enjoying Mary's countdown to Christmas card series, I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #155 over at Cardz TV, happy to share one of my previously shared cards was randomly selected to receive another one of her stamps sets!

Thank you for visiting, hope you are well and practicing self-care as you go about.

Mother’s Day

 

Back again with my second post of the day, doing another quick drive by post.  I am sharing my first Mother’s Day card of the season created using sketch inspiration from Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge #600.  The Sizzix heart die is one of my HL clearance items that I picked up last year, this is my first time using it, the papers came from the Ki Memories (Hero Art) Growing Garden 6x6 paper pad and the mini enamel hearts are from Pink & Main.  I hope to get all of my Mother’s Day cards done and in the mail before the end of the month.

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