Poppystamps

Hey there friends! I'm up on the Poppystamps blog today. I would love for you to stop by to see what I used our newest stencil set to create. It's called Fanciful Flower and as you can see... it's CUTE!

Peace On Earth

Since it's been snowing all day I thought I would share a Christmas card I made this year but had not yet posted. It fits in well with one of the rows on the newest Tic Tac Toe challenge ~ Kraft, Die Cut and Markers. 

I put together several images from a Reverse Confetti set that were Copic colored and die cut to create this sweet nativity scene. I popped them onto an embossed panel (Simply Graphic) and then onto a kraft card base. Simple and ever so sweet!

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit!

Just Us Girls #762 ~ Hello, Friend

Ready for a new challenge at Just Us Girls? Ina is our hostess for word week and she's looking for FRIEND cards! I had some ready made bits and bobs in my stash that let me put this one together pretty easily. Take a look...

The little bird is and old SU! set I no longer have. I think it was a stamp and punch set. That leafy branch was part of the punch... I think! My pretty little silver leaves are metal. I picked them up a a local scrapbook store a long time ago. Same goes for that sweet gingham flower. I popped this all onto a card base embossed with an EF I bought at JoAnn last summer. I think this is the first time I've used it! I like the way it matches the stamping on the PTI Mat Stack die cut. I think this turned out kind of cute! 

Okay, how will the word FRIEND inspire you? 

I can't wait to find out!

Celebrating You

It's been a minute since I've been able to sit down and create. My dad went in for a heart valve replacement mid January, had a complication, spent a few days in the hospital, then a skilled nursing rehab facility and is now back in the hospital. My mom has vision problems and can no longer drive so we have been the official chauffeurs and caretakers. I don't mind, I wouldn't have it any other way! 

I needed some down time last night, so I got crafty. My sweet friend Michele is guesting at a new to me challenge ~ As You See It, so I jumped in with this card!

A sweet piece of patterned paper was my starting point. I popped it onto an ivory card base along with a panel cut with a SSS cover plate. An Altenew Fantasy Floral die cut was adhered to a pierced circle along with my Pinkfresh gold embossed sentiment. A trio of gold confetti bits and some knotted ribbon finished things off. I think I ticked all of the boxes for the challenge!

Thanks for stopping by, I sure do appreciate it!

Just Us Girls #761 ~ I Love You

 

Our new die cut challenge at Just Us Girls seems to be a big success! We enjoyed seeing all of your cards last month using your dies. I'm the hostess this week and I'm looking for heart die cuts. I know you have some of those in your stash! A new month also means a new guest designer will be joining us. Welcome, Stephanie we so happy to have you! 

And now for my card...

I've paired one of my favorite Poppystamps cover plates (Nordic Flourish Background) with one of my favorite Papertrey Ink heart dies (On the Border: From the Heart Border). Ivory cardstock and some vintage October Afternoon paper did the trick along with a wee sentiment by the Colorado Craft Company. 

♥♥♥♥♥

 Okay, your turn. 

I look forward to seeing what heart dies you choose!

I'll be linking this up over at The Paper Players.

They have a 'love is in the air challenge' this week.

The girls at Double D Challenges are looking for hearts!
