CIU #281 - Hello Sunshine

 

Hello and happy Friday, welcome to the weekend.  I have been feeling a little under the weather so I haven't posted much this week; I feel like I'm falling apart!  Today's project share is a super simple but cute card created for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #281 is Hello Sunshine and because I couldn't find the die that I originally planned to use I had to re-think my project.  I used a sheet of paper from the Photoplay Summer Daydreams 6x6 paper pad, a Crafter' Companion window die, a Pink & Main die for the sun and a Sizzix die for the sunglasses.  Finished the card by adding a few enamel dots and a Hero Arts stamp set for the sentiment.

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration, create and share your sunshine project.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, July 12 , 2023 at noon PST, don't forget to use a die.

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

Flitting By

 

Hello and happy Saturday, still cloudy and overcast in our area today; we may get some showers later. Today I  sharing a card created using sketch inspiration from Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge #712, used more papers from the Heidi Swapp Old School paper pad.  I cut the butterfly using an older Spellbinder's die set, used a Hero Arts stamp set for the sentiment and finished the card by adding some Stampin' Up gems.  Not sure you can see it in the picture but I did add some spray walnut ink to the butterfly.  I am sharing this card for the June Anything Goes #143 over at Crafting Happiness Challenges.

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

Happy Happy Happy

 

Good morning rainy Thursday first full day of Summer.  Doing another drive by post to share a card that I created using more of my stash!  I used a Honey Bee Stamps Cover Plate to cut the word Happy to use as the focal sentiment.  Stamped the word birthday using a Paper Studio stamp, added a few sequins and this card was done!  I am sharing this card for the Shopping Our Stash challenge #499 Sentimentally Yours. I still have lots of unused items that I need to used so I can decide whether I should keep them!

Take care and hurry back again soon.

CIU #280 - Masculine

 

Hello Friday, welcome to the start of a holiday weekend for some.  No holiday for me as I am having surgery on Monday.  Today I am sharing my card created for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The pattern piece of paper came from the DCWV Good Wood paper stack.  The card came together quickly as I used a sketch shared on facebook from MFT.  I used an unbranded stamp and die set for the t-shirt, added a few diamond dotz and the card was done.  I am still using things that have been in my stash for years; still have lots that I have yet to use!

For more inspiration, head on over to the Cut it Up challenge blog for masculine inspiration from other design team members.  Create and share your masculine project, the challenge starts today and ends Wednesday,  June 28, 2023 at noon PST.

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

Happy Birthday Sharon

 

Hello and happy Tuesday morning and Happy Birthday to one of my crafting BFFs!  I created her card using sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts challenge #529 and yes it is going to be late.  I had originally plan to attend a celebration for her this evening but as life would have it I can't.  The pattern paper came from the My Mind's Eye On the Bright Side 6x6 paper pad and all other papers came from my scrap stash.  I used a Sizzix die to cut the flowers, a KS Crafts stamp for the sentiment, added a few diamond dotz and this card was done!  I am also sharing this card for the flower challenge #486 over at Use Your Stuff.

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

Feel Better Soon

 Hello and happy Saturday, another day of gratitude because things could have been different.  I started this post yesterday but as life would have it I didn’t get the chance to share it.  I spent the day with my father at the hospital,  drove himself to the hospital on  Wednesday and he was well enough to be discharged yesterday.  I used sketch inspiration from the Stick it Down  monthly card sketch, some papers from a 6x6 paper pad that has been in my stash for a long time, the typewriter stamp is from a Jillibean Soup stamp set and the sentiment is a Newton's Nook stamp set.  Finished the card by adding a few random gems.  I am sharing this card over on IG for the 2Crafters1Design challenge, this week's challenge is a typewriter.

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