I have a card today for The Paper Players (Thankful) and over at The Flower Challenge it’s (CAS). I haven’t played with this Painted Harvest SU set in quite some time and the results are generally quite lovely. I think these flowers look great in any color. I just love Crumb Cake, White and Dark Red together.
Details: I have a mix of MFT and SU on this card.
Hope you have a creative day, Nanc’
Hello, It may not feel like fall in my neck of the woods quite yet…or ever…LOL, but it didn’t stop me from getting out my fall decorations today along with my favorite fall leaves from SU to make a card. Before I got to work, I needed to go find some challenge blogs to play along with. I sometimes feel like a challenge blog addict. LOL If I was retired I think I would start another one myself! The two I am joining today are The Paper Players Tic Tac Toe Challenge, where I have chosen the row going down (FALL, ORANGE, and LEAVES) and Happy Little Stampers (ANYTHING GOES WITH DIES.) Hold onto your hats folks…..I am about to say something a bit rare!! I am extremely happy with the way this card came out. In fact, so happy that I made two of them, and one I will be sharing later next month with a JUGS challenge.
Card details: SU-cardstock, sentiment, and leaves. I did the watercolor smooshing technique for the leaves. Then did the outline in gold to match the embossed sentiment. I distressed my kraft cardstock with some oxide ink. MFT-banner die and Mod Rectangles. Gold Nuvo drops to finish it off!
So happy you stopped by, Have a creative week! Nanc’
Hello, Today’s card is for a very fun and interesting sketch over at Just Add Ink. Before, I put my leaf stamps and dies away, I decided to make one more card using the small leaf stamp that comes with this set. Yet again, I used the smooshing technique to make the background colors on my larger leaves. This was a fun and simple card to do. The sentiment is from Verve.
Hugs, Nanc’
Hi, Over at Addicted to Stamps and More they have a nautical picture for us to be inspired by. I love making nautical cards, so I knew right away I would be playing along. This card was easy and fun to do.
Card Details: All products are SU except for the scalloped die which is Spellbinders.
Have a wonderful day, Nanc’
Hello, I am hosting this week at Just Us Girls and I really am in love with the color palette I have chosen. If you like the colors too, you must go check out the rest of the DT’s cards along with our guest Emmas. They are all so fabulous! I have a second card below.
Card Details: Altenew Rose Stamp Set (gifted to me by a fellow DT member and friend Bobby), both sentiments are from SU, and the edge dies are Papertrey Ink.
Have a fabulous day and hope you consider joining us this week at JUGS! Nanc’
Hello, The Trend at Just Us Girls this week is to make your sentiment the focal point of your card! Today’s card is made with all different sets of Stampin Up. The Victorian strip you see at the bottom is made with my Fiskars cutter. This card came together rather quickly!
Please come on over to JUGS and check out the team’s fabulous work along with our guest Emma!
Hope to see you there! Nanc’
Hello, Hope your day is off to a good start! Today’s card was inspired by the colors over at Just Add Ink. It’s been a while since I joined in their challenge and I must say they have a Design Team member at JAI that has really caught my eye as of late! Her name is Rochelle Blok. She makes the most beautiful cards I have EVER seen using SU products! Needless to say, I have bookmarked her blog and I have become a regular snooper! I don’t think she knows she has a new stalker on her hands. LOL The last three cards that she has posted have ALL taken my breath away! I have bookmarked her name, so you must run on over and check out her blog!
Now my card details: All products above are SU including the DP!
Thanks for checkin’ in on me, Nanc’
Hi Friends, I know…I am on a role with posting! Right? It’s been a great week for sure! I have one more card for a challenge that I have been eyeing all month long and is nearly ready to close. I made it, right under the wire. The card is for the CAS Watercolour Challenge where the challenge is something blue. I sure hope my card qualifies for CAS. It was very simple to make and still has a lot of white space, but I am a bit afraid that I added one too many layers. Fingers crossed! But if that one is a no go….. I am also linking my card up at Inkspirational Challenge where the word is Garden.
Here are a few details: The flower and leaves are from one of my all-time favorite Stupendous sets called Bouquet for You, and are obviously heat embossed and watercolored. They are then fussy cut, which was not hard at all. The white leafy swirl is from MFT and I have had it for YEARS! The double square frames were gifted to me from my friend Barb, so I am not sure whose they are. Love the look of them doubled and titled! The sentiment is from SSS. Added some sequins and I was done.
Thanks for all the love as of late, I enjoy each an every visit and comment. Nanc’
Boy do we have a fun challenge for you this week at Just Us Girls! Sue is our hostess and she has picked the word Retro! How fun, right? I let my fingers do some googling to come up with an idea and I 
came across this photo below, and I knew it would work perfectly for my inspiration. Then I came across this SU sentiment that reminded me of the Partridge Family lettering and I was all set. You have to come check out the rest of the cards from our DT and our newest guest Marlena McDeavitt! They are all so fun! And please welcome Marlena too while you are there!
My rings were made with my SU circle dies.
See you soon! Nanc’
Hello, Hope you’re having a great day! I finally had a chance to join in the fun over at the Twofer Challenge. The word they have for us this month is Wreath. I just got a a new stamp set this week from Stampin Up called Wishing You Well, and I couldn’t wait to ink it up. I needed a Thank You card for a colleague at work and also wanted to get back to making some Christmas cards, so that is where my intentions began. The Christmas card sentiment die on sparkly red, SU, card stock is from a dear friend of mine. The tiny red berries were hole punched and placed by hand along with the sequins. The bow die is from Paper Smooches. For the Thank You card, the fabulous bow and dainty flowers are also from the same SU set and the wonky rectangles are from MFT. The sentiment is also a go to of mine from a different SU set as well. Some added sequins and I was done.
Below, I have both the cards photographed for you separately as I struggled with that when they were together. Have a great day! Nanc’
