CIU #297 - Have a Heart

 Hello and happy Friday, let the weekend begin!  Today's card share is my design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog, the them for challenge #297is Have a Heart.

I got the inspiration for this card from scrapbook.com and because I thought it needed something else so I decided to emboss the background after I created it.  I have mixed feelings about it so I might try it with a different font or color the next time.  I used some momenta alphas to cut the Xs and Os, a Darice Heart embossing folder, heat embossed the sentiment and the card was done and will be going postal soon!  I am sharing this card for the Paper Players theme challenge #675.

Now that you've seen my project I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration.  Create and share your Have a Heart project, don't forget to use a die!  The challenge starts today and end Wednesday, February 21, 2024 at noon PST.

Thank you for your visit have a wonderful weekend and hurry back soon.

Thanks

 Hello and happy Friday, doing another drive by post to share a thank you card created using sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap challenge #253 and pattern papers from the Simple Stories Hello fall 6x6 paper pad.  Used a Sizzix die set for the sentiment and a sunflower and leaf die from my stash.  I'm sharing this clean and simple card for challenge #730 Thanks a Lot over at Little Red Wagon and Give Thanks challenge #665 over at The Paper Players.

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

Monday Musings

 

Hello and happy Monday night, I'm doing this drive by post to share one of the cards that I created over the weekend,  In all things give thanks is such an impactful statement and sometimes we forget to do just that.  I have been intentionally try to live a thankful and grateful life even during the storms.  This card uses one of the Operation Write Home sketches and more papers from the DCWV Farmstead Harvest 6x6 paper pad, a Kaiser stamp for the sentiment and a few gems and this card was done.  I used a punch for the squares and it did take some work to get the placement right!  I am sharing this card for the The Paper Players challenge #616 - Give Thanks.

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

Happy Birthday

 

Hello Tuesday, doing a quick drive by post to share another birthday card.  This card has already gone postal to California, I hope the recipient receives it in time, the mail is so unpredictable lately.  When creating this card, I used a Sizzix embossing folder, some linen and some pearlized paper from my stash.  This cute camera cut/embossing folder was one of  my previous years HL clearance purchases that hadn't been used, added a few bits to make it a shaker card which is optiional!  I'm sharing this card for the Clean and Simple Birthday challenge #563 over at The Paper Players and the Anything Goes challenge #151 over at Cardz TV.  I'm so glad that I am finally using more of my unused stash items.

Thank you for your visit, stay safe and hurry back soon.

Happy Birthday

 

Hello Friday and happy holiday weekend!  I have been missing in action, as I've said before sometimes life happens and it prevents me from sharing.  I'm doing a quick drive by post to share a birthday card that I  created for my nephew.  I used papers from the My Mind's Eye All Spice 6x6 paper pad, an unbranded die for the stitched circles, some wood veneer stars and a stamp for the sentiment.  I'm sharing this card for challenge #556 over at  The Paper Players.  It is a Tic-Tac-Toe challenge and I used the middle row across (birthday, die-cut/punch, masculine).  

Thank you for your visit, take care and be safe as you enjoy the weekend.  I hope you will return soon.

Friday Musings

 

Hello Friday, more rain in today’s forecast.  Today’s drive by post is another birthday card created using a Mojo Monday sketch.   This male themed card  uses more papers from the  Love Nicole Time Machine 6x6 paper pad.  I really miss AC Moore even though I really don’t need anything.  One of my crafting friends shared she is on a challenge to use her unused stuff so I decided to do the same.  So I used the Sizzix Sophie Aguilar Doodle Alphabet die set to cut the sentiment, it has been in my stash for almost two years I think (maybe more).  Finished the card by adding a star with some foam adhesive.  I’m sharing this card for challenge #554 over at The Paper Players, clean and simple masculine.

Thank you for your visit, take care and have a wonderful weekend.

Bee Happy

 

Hello Friday and let the weekend begin.  Today's card share was created using sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap card sketch #198 and pattern papers from the American Crafts Ready Set Go 6x6 paper pad.  I used the Create-a-Critter Cricut cartridge to cut the bee, freehand cut the tag and used a Hampton Art stamp for the sentiment.  Added a few Bo Bunny gems and this card was done!  I am sharing it for the The Paper Players challenge #550.

Thank you for your visit, I hope you will return soon; stay safe and have a wonderful weekend!

Hello and happy Friday and holiday weekend!  Happy Birthday to Rowena one of my college roommates. So what's on your agenda for the long holiday weekend, I hope to get some much needed chores done, purging and organizing of my craft supplies.  I also have a paint and sip birthday celebration on my calendar for tomorrow evening.

Today's card share was created using sketch inspiration  from The Paper Players #542 and papers from a Ki Memories 6x6 paper pad, a Sizzix stamp and die set from one of my many HL clearance hauls.  Finished the card by adding a few Pink & Main heart enamel dots.  Another card done and ready to go postal, I really have to do better with getting my cards in the mail in a timely manner!
