Just Us Girls Challenge #749 - Mood Board Week

It's my choice for this week's challenge. Since it is getting close to Halloween I went with that type of moodboard.  Ha!  Don't get me wrong, I still do not like this "holiday" but a lot of you do!

I literally have 1 Halloween stamp set from 2015, Memory Box, Halloween Sideshow with matching dies.  I'm very surprised it is still available!  There are some very cute images in this set.  Rather then a card [that I will never mail], I made a fun candy match box holder.  I added some of the cute die cuts to the top, and it was complete.

The sentiment is also in this set.

Here is a bigger image:

Your turn. I'm hoping you are inspired by this mood board and play along over at JUGS #749.

Cut Card Stock Day

I am continuing with Christmas cards all this month.

For this card I started with the very Christmasy Astrobright Re-Entry Red 100 lb Card Stock. The heavier weight is so perfect when mailing cards.

For the center stamped panel I used Classic Crest NATURAL card stock.  These papers take ink just perfectly.

You can check out the CCS store HERE.  They do carry other products!  I will showcase a few next week!

Addicted to CAS Challenge #269 - Wood

So many ways to use wood on your project!

I went literal - a wood background using designer paper, and a branch for this cutie [Simon Says Layered Berry Bird] to sit on.

I adore this guy!  He makes me smile every time I use him!

Your turn!  How do you see using wood?  Please share with us over at Addicted to CAS Challenge #269.

Seize the Birthday Challenge #293 - Dots

I do love me some dots!

I went with a very basic birthday card.  Some designer paper with dots, and die cut images.  Yes, this was a quick [last minute] needed card.

Sometimes quick is a good thing!

Your turn.  Come on over to Seize the Birthday Challenge and play along!  While dots are an option, being a birthday card is not.

Just us Girls Challenge #748 - Word Week

It is that time of year!  The leaves with the changing colors - so pretty!  I sure wish I had them in my town.  The leaves go from green to ugly brown.  Very sad.

Again, I made an inked panel, and then cut out the leaves with a mixed array of dies.  Now that I look, I probably should of added more of the pretty Fall colors - oh well, this works.

Also again, I don't know who made the hb die.

Your turn!  Come on over to JUGS #748 and show us your take on leaves.

Cut Card Stock Day

It's the first Saturday of October, and that means it's CCS Day here on my blog [and over on Instagram].  December is right around the corner, so I am continuing with more Christmas cards.

For my card today, I started with my go-to #130 Classic CREST Recycled 100 BRIGHT WHITE card stock. I just love this heavy weight! For the framing, I used the stunning non shedding Silver Glitter Card Stock.

 

I hope you enjoyed my card for today.  You can check out the entire line of CCS card stock HERE.

Guesting at Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge #109

I am thrilled to be Guesting with the Creative Artiste Mix Media Challenge #109.  I found this challenge a few months back and have joined in every month since!  It's always Anything Goes, and when creating mixed media, that makes it even more enjoyable!

For my Guesting project, I made a 5.5 x 5.5 size birthday card.  I used so many fun products; stickers, recyclable cardboard, self made tissue paper, washi tape, gesso, chipboard, ephemera, paint, and my favorite staples!  Yep, I really get into the products :)

I had so much fun making this card!  I am really happy with the end result also.  

Thanks Creative Artiste for having me as your Guest Designer.

Do you do mixed media?  If not, I can highly recommend it - it's very calming, and you can just keep adding to your creation if you aren't happy with it.  Come on over to the Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge #109 and show us what you created!  I'll be checking the gallery!

Just Us Girls Challenge #747 - Color Week

 

 This is an interesting combo!  I can't wait to see the gallery.

I inked up a panel, and then cut with a smaller cover plate.  I also used the colors on the coloring of the image.

The sentiment is from Altenew, Label Love.

Your turn!  We hope you come on over and play along with use at Just Us Girls Challenge #747!

The Male Room Challenge #191 - Trees

Since I have been on a Christmas card run, I went with Christmas card for this challenge also.

I really enjoy doing a collage type background with layering a mix of papers.  I used my "stash" of papers for this, using the bright yellow for contrast.

I do like this Tree die - once again, I have no idea who's this is.  The MC sentiment is a pre-printed sentiment strip from Simon Says.  Yes, I am happy with this layered card.

Your turn!  Come on over to The Male Room Challenge #191 and pay along with your trees card.
