The Male Room Challenge #192 - Kinetic Card

I'll be honest, I did have to look up what this meant; movement.

I'm still working on Christmas cards and remembered a spinning front panel card.  Perfect!

I used this super fun textured card stock; Bonsai Green from CutCardStock, for my colored base.  It's a lovely Christmas green.

After I hot foiled the geometric background [Pink Fresh Geo Blocks Hot Foil Plate], I used some Silver Glitter card stock for the framing, hanging snowflake, and sentiment.  Another card for my stash!

Your turn.  Come on over to The Male Room Challenge #192.  You have all month to join in.

2024 Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Hop- Day 5

Only 1 card -- time isn't there to catch up.  That said, at least I got one card for the Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Hop today.

 

A basic card, but it will work for my x customer - turned friend.  They still go to Starbucks about 3 times a week.  This card will totally work.

The die sentiment is another goodie from Laura's Box. 😀
 

That's it for me today.  I still have lots to do [in my house], and have to get to it!  

Hope you had a great day~

Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Hop - Day 2&3

Even though it is Day 4 over on the CLH Blog, these 2 cards are for my day 2 and 3.  I was crazy busy over the week end, and simply had no time to create.  I made up for it today.  Hopefully, I will get "caught up" tomorrow.

I used a hot foil plate from Laura's Box with some very shiny red foil.  I grabbed a retired coffee cup die, and crimped an actual Starbucks sleeve.  

The sentiment is also from Laura's Box. [Yep, I got some fun stuff in her box 😀].

 

 

While I was browsing Pinterest, I came across a fun graphic wall decor that inspired me to create it for a card.  (I do love me a good graphic card.)  The cup is from a free download that was offered 2 seasons ago with the CLH.  They come in so handy!

The fun sentiment is from STAMPlorations Coffee Happy.

I had fun today!  Off to do some more commenting....

CutCardStock Day

I am taking a break from Christmas cards and went with a pretty floral one for today's card.

I used the [very pretty] Pop Tone Grape Jelly card stock to make this A2 card.  I don't usually care for purple, but this card - yes please.

Sometimes, it pays to get out of your comfort zone!

I hope you liked this card today.  I did have fun making it~

Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Hop - Day 1

It's that fun time of year!  Coffee Lovers Hop...yes please.

My JUGS teamie, Carol Mayne, had a card a couple of weeks ago, and I fell in love with Rupert!  Well, I am using him today!  I am also joining in over at the Color Hues Challenge #98; Red & Black.  I think he looks fun with these colors, especially drinking coffee 😀

He is a good size, so I put him on a mini slimline card base.  He totally makes me smile.

Are you playing in the Coffee Lovers Hop?  I hope to join in every day.  Off to leave some comments.

AAA Birthday Challenge #67 - Favorite Image

This is almost a tough challenge.  There are soooo many images I like. Since I use florals on most of my cards, I am going with those.

 

I started with a digi image, and then using different dies, layered them back on to the main image.  I do love this look.

 

I added a foliage die, along with a sentiment, and this pretty card is done.

 

Your turn!  Come on over to the AAA Birthday Challenge and play along.  

Can't wait to see what your favorite image is.

Just Us Girls Challenge #751 - CASE a DT Week

It's my personal favorite challenge over at JUGS.  It is fun to see how you are inspired by one of the team member's card. 

I went with a very basic card.  While it's elegant [IMO], it is perfect and so easy for mass producing.  Any ornament would work, and while I gold laminated the MC, a stamp would work much easier.

Okay, your turn!  Come on over to JUGS #751, pick a DT to CASE, and have fun!  Can't wait to see who you pick. 😀

A Fun Day

I had some free time, so naturally, I headed into my stamp room.  I looked up on Paper Playful for some challenges to join in.  Once again, PP comes through with new [to me] challenges.

I started with the Color Throwdown #817 colors, while using the sketch [new to me] from Atlantic Hearts Sketch #601.

                                           

I was rather happy with this end result.  These colors are just lovely, and the sketch brought them together in a unique way.

================================================

I came across Diane and Darlene's Stencil Fun Challenge for October, w/ an option of Halloween. [The player-ship is amazing for the site!]  Perfect for my [favorite] moon stencil!

I made a tag and temporarily adhered it onto a sponged, inked, textured background [with H colors too], for a gift Halloween card.  I was surprised how much I liked the colorful background with the purple tag.  It sure does scream Halloween to me.

Thanks Challenges - I had a fun time 😀
