CIU #354 - Colors of Spring

 

Hello, happy Friday; let the weekend begin!  Today's project share was created for the Cut it Up challenge blog. The theme for challenge #354 is Spring Colors, 

I used sketch inspiration from Try a Sketch on Tuesday #693, papers from Illustrated Faith, a coneflower die, a Spellbinders die for the sentiment; finished by adding a few gems!  I like how this card came together and the coneflower die is one of my favorites!

Hello Monday

 

Hello and happy Monday, the winter chills are still in full force. Doing a quick drive by post to share a birthday card created using a a Stamp Market cover plate die, ink blended the letters and  placed them back into the insert.  I used a Sizzix die for the word happy, added a balloon die cut and finished by adding some diamond dots! Trying to add more male themed cards to my stash!

I am sharing this card for the February Anything Goes challenges over at Crafts Galore Encore Blog and A Cut Above.

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

Thursday Musings

 Hello Thursday, I am so over this Winter weather. The icee won’t melt so it is making for dangerous driving conditions and fall risks. Today I am sharing a card that I created for one of the nurses that won a daisy award. She won it because one of the patients parents was impressed with the level of care she provided. I put the card together using a stamp and die set,  paper from a scrapbook.com paper  pad,  and a Spellbinders die for the sentiment. Finished by adding some CTMH sequins and it was done. I am sharing this card over at A Cut Above for their Anything Goes monthly challenge and the January Anything Goes challenge over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends.

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

Warmest Wishes

 Hello Friday evening, stopping in to do a drive by post as I meant to share this card earlier this week. Today’s card share was created for a  FB challenge that I started last month and still haven’t finished. I used a Spellbinders dancing snowman die as the focal point. I still have quite a bit of items that I have never used  or want to revisit (shopping my stash) so I am always looking to participate in challenges. I might just be crafting Christmas all year!

I am sharing this card for the January 2026 Anything Goes over at A Cut Above and the Free is Good Challenge #564 over at Shopping Our Stash.

Thank you for your visit and hurry back again soon!
