Happy Friday! Today is a chalkboard technique challenge for #TGIFC478. To demonstrate that technique, I’m using the Encircled in Nature bundle. This technique is an oldie but goodie. I haven’t made a chalkboard card in a very long time, but it’s so easy, I’m not sure why. For some reason, when I think of the chalkboard technique, I’m immediately drawn to a country motif. With that in mind, I made this card with the Encircled …
Happy Friday! As Father’s Day approaches, I have made a Gone Fishing Father’s Day card for #TGIFC47’s color challenge. It was perfect timing for me to use this set. I have made a masculine card with the Gone Fishing bundle before (you can see it here), but I didn’t use the tackle box die. The tackle box die is a lot of fun! You can set it up, and rearrange all your lures in many …
Today I am using Irresistible Blooms for an inspiration challenge. As you can see, I was inspired by all of it! I chose to use a soft purple background in Highland Heather and the flowers are a nice bright pink, curtesy of Melon Mambo. Two stamps sets were used in this card. The flowers and sentiment are from Irresistible Blooms and the butterflies are from Painted Lavender. Here are the supplies that you will need …
Happy Friday!! I have a pretty Citrus Blooms card for you today for the #TGIFC472 sketch challenge. This week’s sketch challenge is a great way to show off the bright citrus colors. The four windows make a great layout and really help the oranges and yellows stand out from the blue background. The Citrus Blooms stamp bundle is a newly released set from the 2024-2025 annual catalog. It is part of the Citrus Blooms suite, …
Happy Friday! It’s a technique theme for #TGIFC470 today, and I’m using the Flowers of Beauty bundle for it. What better technique than stuffing a pocket full of flowers! I don’t have any posies, but I do have a new stamp set called Flowers of Beauty and it works perfectly! The stamp set is on page 54 of the upcoming 2024-2025 annual catalog. It has a great set of coordinating dies. There are no sentiment …
Happy Friday!! Today’s card is made with the stamp bundle Crafting With You, for #TGIFC468 sketch challenge. I had a lot of fun with this sketch challenge. I have been wanting to use the Crafting With You stamp set for some time, and I finally got my chance. The six little baskets fit perfectly to mimic the hearts in the sketch! It was perfect timing too. A neighbor of mine is an embroidery enthusiast and …
Happy March 1st! Today I have a cute Easter Bunny card to share for the #TGIFC462 color challenge. This color challenge, Highland Heather, Balmy Blue, and Lemon Lolly, was admittedly a little hard for me. It’s not a typical color combo that I would use, and I almost didn’t participate. However, once I took a look at my stamp inventory, I quickly realized that it is the perfect combo for Easter! To get the pastel …
Happy Friday! It’s another theme challenge for #TGIFC460 and this time it involves Sale-A-Bration and Sweetest Cherries. I have chosen a couple of items from the Sale-A-Bration brochure to use for this card. One item is the paper and the other a stamp set. The background DSP is from the Sunny Days pack and coordinates with the Sweetest Cherries stamp set beautifully. It can be earned with any $50 purchase and can be found on …
