Just Us Girls Challenge #774 - Word Week

While I was harvesting my lemon tree, I thought that fruit would be a fun word for this week's challenge. 

I had the perfect dies to use too!  Elizabeth Craft Designs, Everyday Elements Fresh Fruit.  I'm in love with this fun set!

I thought the sentiment worked too.  Sick/fruit - yep, that works.  Vitamin C ya know~


Your turn!  Come on over to the JUGS #774 Challenge and show us how you use fruit.

A Fun Hop Over on Instagram

 

I am happy to let you know that Jane Taylor has created a fun hop over on Instagram featuring Gift Tags. We will be hopping on the 5th of every month.  Because I enjoy making tags, I joined in the hop too.  Since not everyone does Insta, I will be posting on my blog too.

When I mail out birthday cards, I sometimes try and include a fun tag, [as a small gift] - especially if the recipient is a reader of hard covered books.  For today's tag, I did a mixed media background with water colored stenciling, and once dry, I stamped a few images.

To add some layering/texture, I used some dies from ECD's Everyday Elements Tag Variety Pack, and also embossed a few.  My main image is from  [yep, you got it] Everyday Elements Beetles & Bugs Stamp and Die Set.

You can find the hop HERE over on Instagram. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone created!  If you want to join in next month, just contact Jane Taylor, and she'll add you in!

Elizabeth Craft Designs Day

I'm sharing another card that I made with the new Everyday Elements Sunny Days Release.  There are some amazing products in this release!

I started with Soft Finished Card Stock for my card base, and the small amounts of white on my card. I used a lovely faux textured green paper from Colorful Collective Paper Pad, for the background panel, and another sheet, orange, for the oranges [Fresh Fruit Dies]. The leaves are also from this same set. Lastly, the sentiment is from Playful Sentiments.

 

I had so much fun creating this card!  I just love these oranges 😀.

See you next week with more ECD products~

CutCardStock Day


For my card today, I used my favorite colors!  I used an older Freshly Made Sketch, and, I am rather thrilled with the end result.

I used the beautiful Textured and Shimmery, Hummingbird Teal, along with Basis Blue, Dark Teal, and a little Bright White.  I am totally loving the texture of the Hummingbird - I feel it adds such an elegance.

 
I hope you enjoyed my card today!  You can check out all the colors offered over at CCS, HERE.

Addicted to CAS Challenge #282 - Fiesta

Party Time! Lots of bright colors too.

I'll be honest, I searched Pinterest for Fiesta and came up with a perfect inspiration photo!

The best part of this card is I used a die I haven't touched in years!  Yep, Tim Holtz Mini Paper Rosettes.  It has the 2 sizes, and over all, fun to create with.  I started with some designer paper, inked swiped on the colors, and then cut and created the rosettes.

I cut some fringe banners, and added a pre-stamped sentiment.  A fast and easy card 😃

Your turn!  How do you see Fiesta?  Come on over to ATCAS #282 and play along!

Just Us Girls Challenge #773 - Die Week

The gallery is going to be pretty! 
 
I used a few stashed products for this beauty.  Stickers on the 2 base corners, and some free ephemera I printed off a few years ago!  It is funny how you find forgotten items when looking for something else.
 
Yes, I am very happy with the end result!
 
Your turn!  Come on over to JUGS #773 and show us your card with die cut flowers~

AAA Birthday challenge #73 - Anything Goes

Happy Birthday to this challenge!  I've been on this Team since 2022.  I'm very glad that team members stepped up and took over the challenge...it almost was shut down!   That would of been a loss for sure.  Now, 6 years later and it is still going strong!

The timing is perfect as my great niece is also turning 6! I do love being able to actually use a DT card.

Once again, my friend Pinterest came through for an idea.  [I love the inspiration that site gives me.]

Such a fun card!  I hope she will like it too 😁

Your turn!  Yep, it is anything goes, just remember to make a birthday card.  You can upload your card over at AAA Birthday Challenge.
