Just Us Girls Challenge #848 - Die Week


Well, I do have to say that this was a challenge just finding an acorn die.  But, I persevered and found one, from a set that I bought garage sailing no less.  That was a win.

 The foliage was from that same set, and I thought this sentiment strip worked with the images.

Therefore, after the "finding-it" challenge, I am okay with this card.

Your turn. Come on over to JUGS #848 and play along.

November Mini Slimline Hop


It's time for the fun Mini Slimline Hop over on Instagram. Once again, I am loving making this size card!

I used my favorite Merry Christmas Die from Kat's Scrappiness, along with the Mini Slimline Scalloped Edge Die for the card panel.  I have had this MC die for probably 5 years and, I use it every year!  I think the font on this word die is amazing!

I went with a non traditional color combo [yes, all CutCardStock] and I am really happy with it.



You can see the rest of the Mini Slimline Hop HERE.

The Male Room Challenge #216 - Animals


So many possibilities!

I always like to keep pet sympathy cards on hand.  This is the perfect opportunity to re stock my stash!

I used GKD Master 14 with stencil to ink on my colors.  The cats are IDK, but are in my dies.  They worked perfectly for a cat sympathy card.

The sentiment is from D2BA Pet Sympathy stamp set.

Your turn!  Come on over to The Male Room Challenge #216 and show us how you use animals on your card.

AAA Birthday Challenge #91 - Small & Dainty


Last month was big & bold, so it works for this month being the opposite.  

I went digging, and found the fun stem hearts and the smaller leaf dies.  Doing the butterfly in vellum is very dainty, and the cursive HB worked perfectly!

I think I nailed this challenge!

Your turn!  Come on over to AAA Birthday Challenge and show us your small & dainty card!

CutCardStock Day


I'm back with another Christmas card using CCS card stock.


I used Hunter Green, and Bright Foil Gold.  Just 2 colors, but with the added gold foiling, and scalloped framing,  I'm loving this card!

Addicted to CAS Challenge #320 - Mask


I took this challenge as using a mask.  I'm hoping this is correct.  If taken literally, I have NO, NONE, NADA "mask" images.

I found this flower image, and I even still had the "mask" I had made for it previously.  There's a win in my book.  I rarely do masking, but it really does give a fun effect! 


I wanted some pretty bright colors to go with this fun sentiment, so I dug out my Copics and went to town.  I'm good with this end result.

Your turn.  Come on over to ATCAS #320 and show us how you use "mask".

Just Us Girls Challenge #847 - CASE a DT Week


This is a fun week for the Design Team.  It's always such a compliment when someone CASES you!  I had my foiling machine out to make a stash of sentiments.  Because foiling takes some time, I figured I might as well make a card too!

I used some Pink Fresh products [from Laura's Box] and as you can see, went to town!  Stripes, graphics and a sentiment!  

I will be honest, I have to be "in the mood" to drag out my foiling machine and use it.  But, when I do, I love the shiny end results~

Okay, your turn.  Come on over to JUGS #846, check out the DT cards, pick one, and CASE away.
