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!

Ice Skates...

Good Saturday morning my friends.  I'm here this morning to share a Christmas card I have made to enter in the Peace On Earth Christmas challenge.  It has a miss matched use of different items from my stash and I think it turned out really cute.  

I used an embossing folder with no name on it and smooshed it with some white ink which helped to brighten it up a bit.  The wreath and skates are from Heartfelt Creations and the Snow word is just a random die I happen to have in my stash as well.  Also used lots of glitter on the skates and the snowflake.  This one is going in my box for the nursing home.

Bicycle Corner Tuck Card ....

Good morning my friends and welcome.  I'm here on the lovely Monday morning to share a fun fold card with you that has been around for a year or so but it is new to me.  I find I'm really enjoying making these cards and YouTube has a lot of videos about making these so I decided to give it a try.  I dearly love how this one turned out and I will be making more of these for sure.  I'm entering this card in the Can You Handle The Pressure Challenge.   (Any embossing folder with a twist of wheels)

I used a purple cardstock for the card base and papers from the Heartfelt Creations Sweet Magnolia Collection and the bicycle if from the Heartfelt Creations Young at Heart Collection.  The sentiment is from Just Right Stamps and is from long ago and far away.  The lovely embossing folder is a Sue Wilson folder named Fanciful Flowers.  

Here is a closeup of the bicycle...

 

And at last the inside of the card with a look at the sentiment.  

I hope you enjoy this card...it was a joy to make.  I'm always looking at new and different ways to make a different card.  

That's it for me this morning...I'm off to enjoy my Sunday.
