Hello, I found a new challenge site to play along with. It’s called Christmas Kickstart Challenge. It’s hard to think about Christmas cards in February but it’s good to start sometime. It’s exceptionally hard when the temps are supposed to reach 83 today. I like warm, but seriously! This card may seem familiar, as I posted a card very similar to this one a few months back.
Card details: Poinsettias are from Memory Box, the white floral cover plate was from a friend, and the sentiment is Verve.
Hello, I thought a little crafting would do me some good today and I found the perfect challenge to play along with. My dad fell last weekend and it’s been a rollercoaster week of emotion with very little sleep. I am pleased to have finally gotten him out of the hospital (a terrible experience this time) and back at a Rehab facility that I trust. So things are looking up.
Over at Inspire. Create. Challenges they have a blank canvas as their sketch so the sky’s the limit. I didn’t feel like creating something from scratch so I decided to CASE a favorite card of mine. Here you can find my first card!
Card Details: Here is a bit about my card! The Flower and U are from Verve and some of my very first stamps/dies! The leaves are a punch from SU and then embossed for added texture. The flowers are MFT and were colored using the smooshing technique and oxide inks. The heart die is also from MFT, the love die is from Neat and Tangled. The background was lightly stenciled with an MFT die.
Another day off tomorrow, which is great, as we have a meeting at the Rehab facility in the morning and who knows maybe a little shopping after that! I already did a little stamp shopping (shhhhhh…don’t tell the mister.) Shopping always makes me happy! LOL
Hello, I hope your day is off to a great start! Crazy busy here so I need to get right to it! It’s Color Week at Just Us Girls and this color trio is one of my favs for sure! This card went together very quickly as the Dies and Designer paper did all the work.
A few card Details: MFT-Flowers and floral sprig, Sentiment-SU, Designer Paper is DCWV, and the leaves are a punch.
Hello, I want to pop in today to post a card for the fun color challenge going on over at The Paper Players. These cards were super fun and so easy to make. The colors were a bit tough to photograph but the puzzle pieces that read “to pieces” were stamped in red ink.
Card Details: Stamps- Stampin UP, Martha Stewart border punch, The heart dies are from MFT.
Hello, Today over at Seize the Birthday our topping starting is Show me your White Space. Remember that white space doesn’t have to be white like I did myself, but what it really refers to is leaving a good portion of your card open and uncluttered. Barbara has selected our topping and the DT and our guest did some really amazing cards. So you must come by and check them out.
Card details: Butterfly is Pretty Pink Posh, the sentiment is Stampin Up, and a bit of colored pencil and Oxide inks.
hello, The word started this week at Just Us Girls is stripes! Easy Peasy huh? For my card, I have used a mix of MFT- Stitched Flowers, Spellbinders-scalloped circle, a SU-stitched circle, and a Verve- sentiment. Oh, and the Designer paper is from DCWV.
I hope you have a very creative day and consider stopping by JUGS and joining us! Nanc’
Hello, I am here with two nearly identical Valentine cards for a couple of challenges. These cards are quick and simple and easy to mass-produce. The Love die is from Simon Says Stamps, the heart flower die is also Simon Says and the You sentiment is from Verve. I am linking these cards up over at The Card Conceptwhere my style is CLEAN and LAYERED and Casology where the word is Sweetheart.
Hello, I saw a perfect word over at Time Out Challenges and I knew right away what I was going to use. The word is Affectionate! I had two beautiful pieces of DP from Bo Bunny that I have been itching to use on a card. The paper did all the work for me. If you have never seen their paper you are in for a treat! You have been warned! LOL I paired it with this great stamp set from SU to make the card complete. Some added hearts, gems, and pop dots and I was done. This card is going to the store this week for Valentine’s Day they apparently sold out.
I was perusing the internet and I stumbled upon a new to me challenge site called TGIF Challenges and I would love to link my card up there as well! They have a Valentine’s theme going on too. Love when I find new challenges, don’t you? My card says Happy Valentine’s Day in the inside!
Finally, I am linking up once again with The Paper Playerswhere they have a theme of Love is in the Air!
Hello, If you know me a lot or maybe a little, you know I love a good Color Challenge, so when I saw the colors over at The Color Throwdown I knew right away I wanted to play along. Look at that graphic…aren’t those mittens super cool? I needed a card for a baby shower for a co-worker, so I had to go that direction instead of the typical Valentines’ that everyone is starting to create this time of year. All of my supplies are MFT except for the sentiment which is Verve. What do you think of the Tag insert…was it a stupid idea? I am on the fence. LOL I used a mix of Prisma and Copics for my sweet Elephant and kite.
I am also going to link my card up at The Paper Players where they have a love theme starting. I thought my card worked perfectly since it says “Love is in the Air” and my Ele is floating among the clouds.
So happy you paid me a visit, they always bring a smile to my face. Nanc’
