Happy Birthday!


Hi, there!

I've been crafting away today in my craft room on this chilly windy October day.  I had a panel that was already stamped with beautiful flowers from Waffle Flower.  It is another card that I started at the Craft Retreat that I was at a couple weeks ago.  Colleen (One Smile Lifts a Spirit) showed us tips on blending.  I do love pink and didn't have one of the pinks, Tattered Rose.  When we shopped at one of the craft stores, I bought the ink. We had a wonderful time shopping!  I'm entering this card over at A Perfect Time to Craft.

The most difficult part of the card was measuring exactly where I wanted each ink.  The inks that I used are Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick, and Picked Raspberry.  I was going to keep it CAS.  Well, it's CAS for me...lol!  The ink splatters looked blotchy in some areas, so I decided to add Nuvo glitter accents(Fresh Snowfall), which was another suggestion from Colleen...thank you!  I'm sure I'll be using the glitter accents on my winter cards!


The birthday sentiment is from Clearly Besotted.  I added sequins and ribbon to finish the card.  I plan to send this card to my niece.

Ok, well that's all for today, friends.  I hope you are having a wonderful Tuesday!  Thanks so much for dropping by!

Hugs!

Hi, friends!

Welcome to Paper Sweeties October Release Rewind!

Debbie is releasing two new stamp/die sets this month called Sweater Weather and Hot Chocolate Season  Today, I am highlighting the Hot Chocolate Season set.  Emma and Madison are enjoying a day out in the snow.



Madison forgot her mittens, so Emma is sharing
an extra pair...sending warm fuzzies!

For my card, I started with a white card base.  I paired it with Doodlebug paper.  Emma and Madison are ready for snow fun!  They are dressed in their warm winter coats and hats.  Their outfit is from the set Let it Snow.  The images were colored with copics.  The label with sentiment is from the new set Hot Chocolate Season.  And, I must say...I just love the pretty label!!  The snowflake on their hats are from the set Snow Friends.  The snow along the bottom of the card was die cut by using Sweet Cuts-Sweet Borders.  Sequins(Robin Egg) for interest.  Yarn tied in a bow to finish the card.

A view of the inside of the card...



The frame was die cut using the set Sweet Cuts-Rectangle Scallop Frames.  The mittens, sentiment, and mug are from the new set Hot Chocolate Season.

Paper Sweeties October 15, 2019-Release Party!



Hi, friends!

Welcome to Paper Sweeties October Release Party!

Debbie is releasing two new stamp/die sets this month called Sweater Weather and Hot Chocolate Season  Today, I am once again highlighting the Sweater Weather set.



For my card, I started with a white card base.  I paired it with Lawn Fawn and Doodlebug paper.  Aren't those little sweaters cute?  It's very close to sweater weather around here.  The mornings and evenings have turned much cooler...crisp fall days...so lovely!  I'll soon be wearing cozy sweaters.

The sweater images and sentiment are from the new set Sweater Weather.  The images were die cut with the coordinating set Sweet Cuts-Sweater Weather.  Sequins(Strawberry) for interest.  Twine to finish the card.

The sending hugs sentiment on the inside of the card is from the set Thanks.


I decided to make another card after I came across the perfect DP from Lawn Fawn in my stash.  Isn't that how it happens?  You find something after you finish a project?  But, it gave me the chance to make another fall card.  I just love the bright colors and the words match the cozy weather sweater sentiment!



 I started with a cream card base and paired it with Lawn Fawn DP.  The sweater and sentiment is from the new set Sweater Weather.  The Scallop Oval Frames were die cut for the sentiment and the sweaters.  Sweet Cuts Sweet Borders were placed at the top and bottom of the card for interest.  White gel dots applied for the finishing touch.


The sentiment for the inside of the card is from the set Happy Fall Y'all.  The small pumpkins and leaves are from the new set Sweater Weather, also.

Dies R Us Challenge-October 15, 2019-Pumpkins and/or Apples




Hi, Friends!

Welcome to the Dies R Us Challenge once again for October!  The theme is Pumpkins and/or Apples!  You can use anything with a pumpkin and/or apples.  And, we ask that you use at least one metal die to be eligible for the prize.

I decided to make a Halloween card for my friend, Nancy.  In my stash I had a sheet of SEI paper with glittery stars for the background.  I think it was a great find for the Halloween sky.




For my card, I started with a black card base and paired it with purple and SEI paper.  The haunted house, pumpkins, and bats are from Impression Obsession.  The trees are from ScrapMan.  The stitched circle for the moon and sentiment is from Lawn Fawn.  And, the dog howling and at the moon behind the pumpkin on the left is from Lawn Fawn.  Twine and Wink of Stella to finish the card.




Fun spider Doodlebug washi tape for the top of the card.  The dog and sentiment is from Lawn Fawn.  And, my little gal, Sheila, dressed as a queen for Halloween!  Yes, she is a diva...lol!  But, we love her to bits!:-))   

All dies that were used for my card with links are listed below.  I hope you create a project using dies and join us for the challenge!
