Happy Birthday Rachelle

 

Hello and happy Sunday doing a drive by post to share a card that I created for one of my crafting friends. I am not sure why but I almost forgot so she'll be getting her card late. I created the envelope shaped card using the Spellbinders Envelope of Wonder die set.  l used a MS punch for the butterflies and added gems to some of the flowers and stamped the sentiment. This is one of those sets that requires time and patience; not sure when I will use it again! 

I shared this card over on IG for a shaped  card challenge and for the Tic Tac Toe challenge #299. I used the right diagonal row (insects, gems, free).

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

Saturday Musings

 Hello Saturday morning, it's raining and I'd like to be in bed but there's too much to do! I'm stopping in to share my last graduation card of the season (hopefully). I used random items from my stash and paper that matched to school colors. This signature clean and simple card came together just as I planned and will be given to the recipient today as he is celebrated. I am sharing this card for the Shopping Our Stash challenge #574 - Congratulations and the Tic Tac Toe challenge #293, where I used the center row (gold, free space and congrats sentiment).

Thank you for your visit, enjoy your holiday weekend and hurry back again soon!

Thinking of You

Hello Tuesday, it has been a while; doing a quick drive by post to share another card. I created this card using sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap challenge #296. This is another scrap busting project, where I just pulled random pieces of paper to use on the card. I cut the flower with a Momenta die, and stamped (heat embossed) the sentiment using  a Recollections stamp set. Finished the card by adding some enamel dots, going postal this week! I am sharing this card for challenge #291 over at the Tic Tac Toe challenge blog.  I used the middle column (die cut, wet emboss and layers) 

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

Love

 

Hello Tuesday, I am doing a quick share of another card that I recently created.   We should share and express love at anytime but February is when we celebrate Heart Health month and Valentines Day. I created my card using sketch inspiration from the Stick it Down group on FB, papers from the Recollections Girl Squad paper pad, a Recollections embossing folder and the Inspire (Spellbinders) Love Vine die for the focal point. I really shopped my stash on this one and it came together nicely and will be going postal soon;  I need to be more intentional in getting my cards in the mail!

I am sharing this card for the February Reds and Pinks challenge over at Die Cut Divas and the Tic Tac Toe challenge number 286 using the top row across (hearts, die cutting, red/pink).

Happy Birthday

 

Hello and happy Tuesday and Happy Birthday to one of my scrappin' BFFs Rachelle!  I'm happy to report she received it on time, the mail can be a little unpredictable sometimes.  I was pleased with the outcome, and it received high marks from her as well.  I used mostly scraps of paper to cut the brush using a die, I used a Stephanie Bernard's stitched oval die for the velum, a Pink Bow Ties stamp for the sentiment, added a few gems and it was done!  I am on a personal quest to use more of  the stash of goodies that have been sitting unused. I am sharing this card for the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #174; pink, patterned paper and die cuts.

Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a pleasant day.

Friday Musings

 

Hello and happy Friday, hello weekend.  I'm stopping in to do another quick drive by post, today's card share is going to one of scrappin' besties son.  He is currently in basic camp training for the Air Force, I should have been sending him encouragement cards along the way but as life would have it I didn't.  When putting this card together I used Mojo Monday Sketch #558 and papers from a really old 6x6 paper pad that I picked up on clearance from HL.  Most of the sheets were Army specific but I made it work, used the Cricut Stand and Salute cartridge to cut the fighter jet which I popped on a stitched circle die cut.  Added a few Paper Studio stars and use my DYMO embossing label maker for the sentiment and this card was done and will be going postal later today.  I am sharing this card for the Tic -Tac -Toe Challenge #167, I used the bottom row (metallic, gems and pattern paper).

Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend.

Wednesday Wanderings

 Hello and happy Wednesday, it is cloudy with some rain drizzle in our area today.  I am getting ready to go on a little girls getaway so pray for traveling mercies.   I'm doing a quick drive by post to share a card that I created over the weekend using some plastic wrap and ink to make the background and for the flowers.  I didn't have the type of ink that was suggested on the video that I watched so that may have something to do with the outcome.  It is like the ink smooshing technique but using plastic wrap.  The flower is an unbranded stamp and die set, the sentiment is from the Woodware Birthday Strips stamp set added a few pearl embellishments and this card was done!  I am sharing this card for the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #162, I used the middle row going down (floral, free and embellishments.  This is my first time sharing on this blog, head over there for some inspiration for more inspiration.
