Sweet & Simple Stash Busting Day #2

Hello and Happy Super Bowl Sunday!  The Game really doesn't mean a whole lot to me other than it's being played in Tampa Bay Florida this year and I'm a Floridian.  While the Hubs is watching the game, I will retreat to my crafty space and have some uninterrupted time at the crafting table.

Today is the second day of my Sweet and Simple Stash Busting makes.  Today features an A2 card with an embossed backround that I splattered with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink mixed with water.  I used Dollar Tree embellies, a die cut heart, Baker's Twine and sequins..all from my stash. 

Another Valentine's Card for 2021 however this card could be used for any theme or occasion.  Feels good to use stash items.  Do you have plans to dip into your stash soon?  I hope I've inspired you to so so.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

My Time to Craft

Triple Heart Easel Card

Hello and Happy Thursday!  The first week of February 2021 is almost history and with 6 more weeks of Winter (so says Puxatawney Phil the Ground Hog), what a better way to spend the day than to make a Triple Heart Easel Card.

Although it may look complicated, it's an easy make with a heart template, dies and pretty paper.  

To make the bases, I used 3 different sized heart templates; each size different by 1/2".  I folded patterned card and traced the templates leaving the tops of the hearts flat; hanging the curved tops of the hearts over the fold.  I then die cut stacking hearts for embellishing.  

Adhering each base to one another, I created each into an easel and decorated with dies cuts, ribbon and tiny heart punches. The sentiment is from the Cardz TV "Mini Messages" stamp set.

I'm in full St. Valentine's Day crafting mode.  I hope my swap recipients receive in time for Valentine's DAy....my Christmas cards were so delayed...some are just now receiving...and it's February.  I hope this year, holiday mail will move faster.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Creatalicious Challenges - Anything Goes with Optional: Hearts

Hello Everyone and Happy Monday.  January 31st started a new challenge at Creatalicious Challenges with the Theme of Anything Goes with Optional:  Hearts.  The sponsor for this round is the cute Di's Digital Stamps and for my design team project I created a card using Maurice the Mouse.

I think Maurice is lovely and I created a standard A2 sized Valentine's Day Card using the optional Hearts in my design.  I colored with my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, added some sequins and Wink of Stella for a bit of sparkle and called it finished.  I love how this card turned out.

Please consider joining us at Creatalicious this round, we look forward to seeing you.  Until nect time, Happy Crafting!

Make My Monday Challenge - Red, Pink and White

It's Monday and a new challenge starts today at Make My Monday.  The theme for the challenge this week is Red, Pink and White.  Since we are close to Valentine's Day, my design team project is a Valentine's Day card that incorporates all the colors in the theme.

The card measures a standard A2 with gorgeous papers from Recollections.  I die cut the heart and backed with red paper, then layered on top of a pink paper doily I had in my stash.  Finally, a few pink sequins were added for some bling.  

We hope you will join us this week at Make My Monday Challenges; we are looking forward to seeing what you create with the theme colors.

Also, don't forget to visit the new challenge blog The Paper Funday Challenges this Wednesday for the announcement of the winners from the January challenge and for the start of Februarys' challenge.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Cardz 4 Galz - Hearts

Hello and Happy Thursday!  Today is the start of a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz Challenge Blog.  The theme for this round is Hearts and using the colors Red, Pink or White.

This time of year, I am crafting for Valentine's Day so my design team project reflects the holiday along with all the theme elements.

The card is a standard A2 size with designer papers from the Recollections paper pack titled Love and Devotion.  The Unicorn face is a Cricut Design Space cut from the cartridge Unicorn Hair, Don't Care.  This cut would also make the cutest T-shirt!

We hope you will join us at Cardz 4 Galz for the challenge.  We look forward to seeing you there.

Also, the 6th of February will start a new challenge month at The Paper Funday Challenges.  The theme for February is Love and there is a Twist of the colors Red, Pink and White.  Please join us there also!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
