My Favorite 3D Folder...Fresh Daisies...

This morning I'm here to share with you a new card made using a 3D Embossing Folder.  Actually as the title states, it is my favorite 3D Folder because I adore daisies!  I'm entering this card in the Can You Handle The Pressure Challenge.  The theme this time is Anything Goes with a Twist of a 3D Folder.

I spritzed blue cardstock with water, added it to my folder and ran through my die cut machine then allowed it to dry.  Next I used white ink and lightly rubbed over the image just to highlight.   I stamped the sentiment and cut out and adhered to the card front...Easy Peasy and my card is done! I love it when a plan comes together!

I'm Still Here!

Good morning my friends!  I bet you thought I had moved on but I'm still here!  I have really been in a slump since I did my Fall cards and I just made myself do my Christmas cards and now I'm trying to get back in the swing of things.  

This card was made using a die from Heartfelt Creations and florals from Elizabeth Craft Florals 31!   These were released as Fall florals and I fell in love with them and decided I just couldn't live without them!  These are the first flowers I have made in such a long time as I have a jar with loads of flowers that were left over from other projects and I just tossed them into the jar!

The paper is from Heartfelt Creations Cascading Petals Collection and I just love the sweet little bird down in the front!  I had so much fun playing and hope to be back soon with more cards for you!

Another Fun Card for the Fall.....

Good morning everyone and welcome to my  blog.  In my never ending quest to use some of my many pretty papers, I'm sharing another card I made with you!  I have been playing with a Graphic 45 paper pad from long ago named An Eerie Tale.  I loved it then and I love it now!  This paper keeps pulling me in so here is my latest card.  This paper can be used to make pretty Fall cards as well as Halloween cards so it has many uses for me!

I'm entering this one in the Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge!

That's it for me...I hope you enjoy my latest card as I'm really having fun making this latest in my trying to use up some of my never ending paper!

Fall Fun...

Good morning my sweet friends!  It is once again time for a new challenge over at the Love Those Pretty Papers Challenge where anything goes as long as you use some of your pretty papers.  This challenge there is an optional theme of Fall Papers.  Well I just happen to have a card I just made using the Heartfelt Creations Beary Fun Retreat Collection.  I still have quite a bit of this lovely paper so I'm in the process of making Fall cards for loved ones and friends and hopefully some for the nursing home.  Here is a little look at my card:

I just love all the pretty shades of green and orange...then there is that gorgeous plaid.  Those falling leaves remind me that my own trees are beginning to lose leaves  and it won't be long until there are quite a few to get rid of!

Here is a close up of some of the elements of the card design.  I have been really enjoying playing with matting everything in black.  It gives so much dimension to my cards and they can still mail with one stamp!

So I am off to work on a black cat I will use on one of my Fall/Halloween cards soon. Hope you have a lovely day!

Fall Card For My Stash...

Good morning my friends and welcome to my blog.  I'm here this morning to share a Fall card I made to add to my stash.  I'm also entering this in the Double D Challenge and the Word Power Challenge.   The theme this time is Sunflowers and look what I just happened to have lying on my desk waiting for a little card to use it on. 

The papers have done the heavy lifting on this one...Heartfelt Creations Beary Fun Retreat.  The word Fall is a die I have lying about but I can't remember where it is from.  I'm afraid that is the way of a lot of things in my Craft Room.  

Well this does it for me this morning.  I hope your day is a good one!

 

Once Upon an Eerie Tale

Good morning my friends and welcome.  I'm here this morning to share with you a Halloween card I made and am entering into the Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge.

I am on a mission to use up some of my many pretty papers in my craft room and this ancient Graphic 45 pad has been tugging on my sleeve.  I was hoarding it for something....I know not what.... so here we go!

And the back looks like this:

I made this a tent fold card with a mechanism to help it stand and it will most probably go to the nursing home.  It can be displayed on a night stand or tray table or even on a nurse's station counter.  

It was a lot of fun to make and I hope you enjoy!

Lots of Roses....

Good morning my friends and welcome to my dusty blog.  I'm having so much fun playing along in some of the many cardmaking challenges out there and today I'm visiting the Love Those Pretty Papers Challenge.  As I have a hoard of pretty papers in my craftroom, this is perfect for me.

Today I'm using the Floral Fashionista paper from Heartfelt Creations from 2018. The colors and florals just speak to me and they have done all the heavy lifting for my card.  A little sentiment from my stash ... also from long ago (Life Lines from Flourishes.)  I'm not even sure if that company is still in business. 

 

This card was so much fun to make so I hope you enjoy it!
