CutCardStock Day


It's Saturday, and that means it is CCS Day here on my blog.  I needed a baby card made with generic colors [they are waiting for the birth to know the sex].  I came up with this card, using neutral colors.

I started with Canvas Textured Smoke Gray for my card base. [I do love the texture on this card stock.]  For the cute little feet, I used the pretty Stardream Metallic Opal, along for the small heart using Re-Entry Red.

I just love this card! 😀

I hope you enjoyed it too.  See you next Saturday~

Instagram June Tag Hop - Masculine


I do love joining in these Instagram Hops.  What is even better is when you actually get to use the project you made!  

This tag is for my son.  He is going into the Air Force as an Officer!   

I used the Curly Labels Tag from STAMPlorations, along with a tiny die strip of dots and x's. I grabbed a stashed, foiled sentiment which is perfect!

You can see more tags HERE over on Instagram.

Just Us Girls Challenge #826 - Die Week


I went with a CAS butterfly card.  Sometimes, that's all you need.

I used the STAMPlorations, Circles All Over Texture Cover Plate, for the background texture, and the STAMPlorations, Zen 1 Layering Dies, for the butterfly.

Lastly, a stashed, foiled HB sentiment.

Your turn!  Come on over to JUGS #826 and show us your die butterfly.

AAA Birthday Challenge #86 - For the Boys


This is always a fun challenge when it's for boys.  Since 90% of my cards I make are masculine, it's also an easy one. 😉

I totally love this guy!  [I also had forgotten I had him.] I'm glad I remembered, cuz he really is perfect for a fun little boy card.  Yep, my grandson is totally into dinosaurs and this one is for him!

Yes, I'm smiling too!

Your turn.  Come on over to AAA Birthday Challenge #86 and show us your for the boys card.
