Paper Sweeties September 2020-Release Sneak Peeks!





Today I'm sharing my card for the September Release Sneak Peeks!  The new set is Heartfelt Thoughts!  It has many sentiments along with the label for sympathy, thinking of you, or even Christmas projects!  It's a very versatile stamp set, which I'm sure will become one of my favorite go-to sets!  The new stamp set will be available to purchase tomorrow!




I decided to make a fall sympathy card.  It's always good to have a sympathy card on hand.  I started with a white card base and paired it with Sunny Studio Paper.  The leaves are from the set  I'm Nuts About You.  The label was colored with copics.  The scallop frame is from the set Sweet Cuts-Oval Scallop Frames.  Nuvo drops-Dandelion Yellow and Ribbon-creamsicle  to finish the card.




The inside sentiment is from the new set, also... Heartfelt Thoughts.

A sunny hello!




Hi, there!  I hope you are having a wonderful holiday weekend!  We had a couple busy days here with yard work, cooking a meal for a friend who broke her arm, and going to the funeral home.  A dear sweet lady who I used to bowl with passed away recently.  This Covid crisis makes it more sad that we weren't able to visit friends and family in the nursing homes.  Just a couple weeks ago they opened up and allowed to visit, but appointments had to be made and some weren't allowed to visit as in this case.  Anyways, I'm happy for the times I did visit Barb and made her cards.  She was like a mother to me and two other gals on our bowling team.  She will be dearly missed.

On a lighter note, I am sharing a card that I made for my son.  I made a couple more and sent them to a few friends to help brighten their day.  I'm entering this card over at...NBUS Challenge.  




For my card, I started with a white card base and die cut the rainbow and clouds from a Catherine Pooler die.  The sun from Paper Sweeties was die cut and colored with copics.  It was fun and easy peasy to make!




Sending out a sunny hello and sunshine to all of you, my friends!!  I hope you are doing well and have a great week!!

Hugs!

Dies R Us Challenge September 1, 2020! (Back to School)



Hi, Friends!

It's time once again for the Dies R Us Challenge!  And, the theme is (Back to School)!  It's hard to believe that it's that time of year again!  Lots of changes this year for the school kids and teachers. I know that here they will be wearing masks.  I believe some will be going a few days and the other days be at home with their learning.  Such a change our world is going through at this time.  The big question is when will all return to normal.  Lots of prayers are needed for the school kids and teachers for the school year! 

We ask that you use at least one die on your project for the challenge.  Come and join the fun and have a chance to win a gift certificate...enjoy creating!




I decided to make a card using dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.    I colored the scissors, ruler, and pencil with copics.  I added apple washi tape for the borders.  The checkered frame is from IO.  The teacher sentiment is from Paper Sweeties.  And, the #1 die is from Sue Wilson(Creative Expressions).  A stitched ribbon to finish the card.





For the inside of the card, the sentiment is from Paper Sweeties.  The apple was fussy cut using paper from Simple Stories.  


All dies and inks 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!


Dies R Us has a sister store with warehouses in the USA and Canada called Didi Crafts. 

It will ship to both the US and Canada.  Didi Crafts will carry some of the same products as DRU, but most will be different.  Now our Canadian friends don't have to worry about huge taxes or shipping fees. How great is that!?!


My teammates have some fabulous inspiration for you today.  Sit back, relax, and take a look.... (you can click on their name to go to their personal blogs and get more detailed information about each project)
