Hello

Hi, I hope you are doing well. For today’s card, I am playing with the lovely color challenge at The Color Throwdown. As soon as I saw that pretty color combo, I knew I would do everything I could to find the time to play along.

After seeing this picture, my first thought was lemons, so I pulled out my Spellbinder’s Lemon Zest set and went to work. By the way, it’s on Sale right now over on the website for 1/2 OFF. I paired that with the Spellbinder’s Outlined Sentiments and my favorite Flower Frenzy 3D EF. I used some Oxide Distress Inks to give all my dies a little bit of depth. The hello is mirrored-gold paper. I have also used some foam dimensionals too.

I really miss you…

Hello, I have been making cards for the store the past week or so and today it was time to do some mass producing. I have a design that is very popular and fun to do and it turns out I have never shared it here on my blog.

I am linking up with a new to-me challenge called. As You See It. What they want us to do is make a card with a Theme of the Outdoors and make it in under 10 minutes. This card takes me about 6 min. and 10 seconds. I am a bit of a slow ink blender and too much of a perfectionist. LOL

Card Details: Oxide Inks, the cloud stencils are from Miss Ink Stamps, the sentiment is from Honey Bee Stamps-Missing You set, and the palm tree is from Whimsy Stamps but sadly not available anymore.

Take some time to be creative as it’s good for the heart and certainly better than watching the news! Nanc’

Wish You were here

Hello, It’s Saturday and time for the next challenge at Just Us Girls. Sue is our wonderful hostess for CAS Week. I am certainly enjoying this change to our line-up at Just Us Girls as Clean and Simple is something I want more practice with.

Before I got started, I went in search for another challenge to join this week. I came across AAA Cards where they are asking for a CAS card inspired by a Movie, Book, or Song. I decided to use the song by Pink Floyd- Wish you were Here for my sentiment.

I really enjoyed putting this card together.

Card Details: A little masking with torn paper and some Oxide inks for my water and sand. The cute little crab and shells are found in the set called Best Beach Friends from MFT. The sentiment is from MFT’S Couch Potato stamp set.

You have to come over to Just Us Girls and check out my fabulous teammate’s cards along with the talented Michele Ferguson.

Take care and happy crafting! Nanc’

I will have all of them listed for you below. I just love this sweet bunny from the Floating Bunny set and I had to play with him/ her once again. I had such a great time putting this card together.

***The umbrella die that I used is no longer available but I have linked an alternative one called Umbrella Bloom Etched Dies that is really fabulous! It has 6 different designs for your umbrella along with florals and leaves in the die-set.

Things in a Garden

Hello, I am hostess this time over at Seize the Birthday and what I have chosen for our Topping is Things in a Garden. I thought it was appropriate since we are at the beginning of Spring here in the States. I have had these scraps hanging out on my desk for quite some time so this card was really quick to put together.

Card Details: MFT- Garden Shed Dies and Scalloped Dies. The rose DSP is just gorgeous but I don’t recall whose it is. The lattice is from Whimsy Stamps, and the sentiment is from Scrapbook.com.

I certainly hope you will head on over to Seize the Birthday and check out what is popping up in my teammate’s gardens…along with our two guests-Hilary and Anagha!

Take care and happy creating, Nanc’

A Cozy Birthday

Hello, I hope you are doing well! I don’t know about you but when my mojo is missing and I need a quick jumpstart one of the things that I do is… pull out a few fun die sets from MFT and decorate a space. Nothing like a bit of interior decorating to spark some creativity.

Also, the Spots and or Stripes from AAA Birthday helped with my interior design.

Card Details: MFT dies- Potted Plants, Decor and More, Take a Seat and Couch Potato Sentiment set.

Thanks for coming by and I hope you are having a wonderfully creative day! Nanc’

Sweet

Hello, I am back today with the next challenge at Just Us Girls. Elizabeth is our hostess for Photo/Moodboard Week. She has picked a wonderful array of photos that are sure to inspire. They certainly inspired me. I was immediately drawn to the lemons in the photo and knew I had just the paper and supplies to pull it all together.

Card Details: I made my own ice cubes out of Vellum, Nuvo drops, and a bit of glitter. The large Stamp set is from MFT the word Sweet is from Jilly Bean Soup, I do belive. I heat-embossed the lemons in white on yellow paper. The glass and lemon dies are from Tim Holtz/Sizzix. I used a Hero Arts Postage Die. The lemon paper in the background is packaging left over from some Lemony cocktails I purchased eons ago. I saved it for just this very reason. I have some dimensionals for depth.

Now head on over to Just Us Girls and check out how the team and our guest-Michele were inspired and then we hope you will play along! Nanc’

Here’s to Fun in the Sun

Hello, I hope your week is treating you well. It’s the middle of the month so it’s time for our next Hues of Color at Color Hues. Marcia is our wonderful hostess and she has chosen Blue and Turquoise for us today. I have been itching to get out some of my favorite MFT sets and I was in the need of a House warming card, so that is what I have for you today. My Brother and Sister in Law bought a home here in Florida and are officially going to be snowbirds, and this card is for them.

Card Details: MFT-Beach Bungalow, MFT-Shady Palm, MFT-Life’s a Beach Sentiment. Oxide inks for my scene and a bit of Copics and Prisma Colored Pencils. I used a bit of white paint splatter as well.

Now, I certainly hope you will head on over to Color Hues and check out the cards by our fabulous team and join us. Don’t get hung up on finding the perfect Turquoise, as it’s pretty subjective-just do the best you can.

Speaking of Color Hues-DT…This past Tuesday my friend Carol and I got to meet up with CH-DT Member Karen Walker as she was vacationing in my neck of the woods. I love meeting up with teammates it’s one of the many things about this hobby that I love so much! We had a wonderful lunch and great conversation! So happy you escaped the cold and came to Florida, Karen!

Take care and make sure you find time to be creative as it’s good for the soul, Nanc’

Hitched

Hello, I needed to take a bit of a crafty break as my mojo was missing, so I decided instead of wasting my free time I would organize all my Spellbinders dies along with all the new supplies I have won and or purchased over the last year or so. The pile was getting so out of hand. It was quite the job and it always feels good once it is done. I wish I could say that every stamp set/or die set that I own is repackaged and labeled but I can’t. I would say I am about 85% done, and that isn’t too bad. Maybe this summer I will tackle the rest. We shall see!

Onto the card…I needed some wedding cards for the store so that is where I began. I had yet to open my new-to-me Spellbinders Sunday Drive set along with the Hitched Die set, which happens to be on sale right now, and I knew they would make a fun card. I find putting things with many pieces together can be very time-consuming but so relaxing at the same time. Do you?

I have all the products linked for you below!

Mirrored Silver Cardstock

I was going to leave the background completely white but decided at the last minute to make a road with my Hearts Honey Bee Stamps stencil. After I was done sponging, I got the idea to make the road more defined with thin white strips of paper and I think it really helped. I used plenty of dimensionals and a bit of sequins to finish it off. I think the mirrored paper really brings this card to the next level and the cans behind the car might be my favorite part.

I am linking up with Darnell over at NBUS!

Thanks for coming by! I hope you have a great day and find some time to get crafty too! Nanc’

Bundle of Love

Hello, and I hope you are having a good day. Today I am playing along with my friends over at The Paper Players. You know I love Color Challenges and LeAnne had a combo that certainly spoke to me. I did alter one of the colors to suit my design a bit. Instead of green apple, I used more of a seafoam green and I hope it’s okay. The green was just too bold with the rest of the tones I was using.

Card Details: I have been wanting to get out this adorable older set from MFT and make some baby cards and today I finally had the chance. The sweet sentiment is an oldie from Verve.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a chance this week to be creative. Nanc’
