Hello, I am your hostess this week at Just Us Girls and the Trend I have chosen is to cut your card and or project into thirds. This card would work well as a wedding card in my opinion. The stamp set I used is an old one from Stampin Up that doesn’t get much use.
I sure hope you will join the girls and our guest Lindsey this week at JUGS! They all did a great job with this challenge! Nanc’
Today is Monday and instead of reporting to work, I am beginning a new chapter in this thing called life. Now I can say I am “officially” retired. So far so good! LOL My favorite part of my day is between the hours of 6-8 am. During that time you can find hubby and I enjoying the quietness of the new day while sipping our coffee and chatting about whatever we find on our electronic devices that we find worth sharing with one another. There is no television and it’s just peaceful. Now, this doesn’t have to occur on just weekends, holidays, or summer vacation but each and every day, and I am really excited about that! Squeal!
Speaking of new beginnings…Nothing says new start more than a wedding card and that is what I have for you today! I am playing along with The Paper Players challenge today.
I made this card using Stampin Up products for the puzzle pieces, rectangle die, and sentiment. The bow tie which is a tad hard to see is from Paper Smooches. It’s part of a bow missing the ribbons hanging down. For the girl puzzle piece, I used very small pearls.
I hope you have a wonderful day! Hmm….what shall I do? Nanc’
Hello, Happy weekend! Today we have a Trend challenge starting over at Just Us Girls and Carol’s code work is Mini. There is a various amount of ways to interpret this challenge. Whether you make small cards or maybe use miniature items on your card, etc… What I have done with my card is to use miniature items; small hearts, small text, and small gems. I just received these fun wedding ring dies from SSS and decided to include the background text stamp from SSS as well. I don’t think I have used this stamp before either. The congratulation sentiment is from SU. I intentionally tried to stamp the background lightly in case you were wondering.
I am also linking my cards up over at NBUS #14.
Thanks for popping in and I hope you decide to join us this week at JUGS! Take care, Nanc’
Hello, Another Saturday has rolled around and this week at Just Us Girls it’s Trend Week and Bobby has suggested we “Frame it.” This was an easy and fun challenge. For my card, I have a mix of; SU for my sentiment, Altenew for my Painted Flowers, MFT stitched Rectangles, and SU again for my stitched Oval. Then a glittery heart to top it off.
Thanks for stopping by!
Come and join us! Nanc’
Hello, Today’s card is for the Less is More challenge using Metallics. Anything with a bit of shimmer is so hard to photograph, and this card is nothing but shine so it was a real challenge. It looks ten times better in person!
Card Details: SU stamps, Silver embossing powder on all stamps and the Ribbon Heart die is from Poppy Stamps. Even the wire ribbon has shimmer. The smaller hearts are punched out of the same glittery background paper as the large ribbon heart die. Added some rhinestones for more shine.
Thanks for stopping in, Nanc’
Hi, I have a very CAS and easy card for the Less is More Challenge today. The word they have is Celebrations! The store that I sell my cards in needed more wedding cards, so I whipped a few of these up yesterday. That rose die is just so pretty…don’t you think?
All products are SU.
Thanks for stopping in! Nanc’
Hello, Here we are once again with another week gone by! Today’s challenge at Just Us Girls is to use an Embossing Folder. Easy huh? I paired my embossing folder with this fun puzzle piece heart from SU. The sentiment is theirs as well. It was heat embossed. Isn’t that paper so pretty! It’s Bo Bunny I do believe. A Big Thanks to Greta for being a fabulous Guest this month.
Get out those Embossing Folders and please come and join us! Nanc’
Hello Friends, Have we got a great challenge for you this week at Just Us Girls. Carol has picked the color Purple for our Color Week. After I finished the above card for this challenge, I realized I had a Christmas Card that I made last year that also is Prominently Purple that I had not shared with you. So here is that one!
I hope you have a fantastic day and will consider joining us over at Just Us Girls. The team and our Guest Karren hit this challenge out of the park. Come on over an check out all the Purple cards. If you join us you might even be selected as our Chic of the Week and then have the opportunity to be our guest too. Take care, Nanc’
Card info: First one is made with SU supplies/ Love the paper pieced die-flower.
Second card: Ornament ( stamped and lightly watercolored), Sentiment is Verve, the Bows are Paper Smooches and the Background stamp is from Stampabilities.
Hello Friends, I am hosting this week at Just Us Girls and we are in full fledge wedding planning at our house, so the Photo I was inspired by this week, fits my mind set perfectly! I hope you enjoy it! Remember, you don’t have to make a Wedding card per say, however the photo inspires you is all you need to do! All the products you see here are from SU. This card was very tough to photograph because of the shimmery silver paper and the silver embossing powder, but what can you do! Please come on over and join my fellow teammates and I this week!
Take care, Nanc’
My friend Judy is hosting over at The Mod Squad, and as soon as I saw her challenge I just knew I had to find sometime to play along. She has asked us to incorporate hearts and or flowers on our card and or project. Then I went searching for a bit more inspiration and I came across this great quilt over at The Fusion Card Challenge. Finally, I also realized that The Paper Players was having a Valentine challenge and the search stopped there. I snuck into my craft room before the Football Game (that ended poorly…I might add…what can I say I always root for the under-dog) and in between loads of laundry on Sunday, this is what I did. I decided to take my MFT Stitched Heart dies and lay them over some of the hearts from the MFT Heart cover plate die. Then I incorporated some MFT Stitched flowers in my design. The sentiment is something I have had for quite a while and it’s from Inkadinkado. I thought this would make a nice Valentine’s day card. The Dp I used is a pack from Stampin Up that I really love!
Thanks for popping in on me today! I sure do appreciate your visits. Nanc’
