October 2CCC DT Post with Beccy’s Place

I don’t know how it happened, but we somehow got to October 2020. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad we made it… but how on earth did the toughest year EVER go so FAST especially when each day feels so SLOW! Being October 1st, its the first day of the new challenge at 2 Crafty […]

Create and Inkspire July Kit – Take 2

I still had the debut Create and Inkspire kit on my desk and I really wanted to play with more of the stamps. (If you are visiting me for the first time, you can learn more about the kit HERE and HERE.) Today I chose a couple of the floral images in the big stamp […]

Create and Inkspire July Kit – Take 1

I’ve had this kit for almost 2 weeks and because life gets in the way, I’m just now playing with it. And man, oh man…  I have 10 cards in my head that I can’t wait to get onto paper!!! I posted about this kit earlier with a full description of what comes in it, […]

Jane’s Doodles Challenge #10 Stenciling

  Hello, my crafty friends! I told you yesterday that I’m on a critter card roll and here is yet another! I *love* how this turned out!!! I used the complete set of Jane’s Doodles Under the Sea stamp set to create this square card. The stenciling was done using MFT’s Ray of Light stencil […]

Still Young at Heart with Art Impressions

Art Impressions make some of the best people stamps, and this one called Retirement is no exception. While it includes some great retirement sentiments, it also have some great birthday sentiments which I chose to use on this card. Where to start? How about the background… I used a Gingham Cover a Card background from […]

Batty Without You

Not *exactly* a Halloween card, though the timing is fitting! This vampire cutie is from a Close to My Heart set called Creepy Creatures, which was easy to color up with Prismacolor pencils as most of the image stamped black. I used 2 sizes of Inverted Scalloped Circle dies from Spellbinders to cut a black […]

MFT Delightful Deer

My Favorite Things had a couple of challenges this week that I miraculously thought I could pull off… in one card! Take a look!   I used the My Favorite Things Delightful Deer dies to cut the deer in white and inked them with a few shades of brown inks. I whipped up an ink […]

Blueberry Butterfly Birthday

Say that 5 times fast! Blueberry Butterfly Birthday! Blueberry Butterfly Birthday! Ok, perhaps I’m getting a little giddy since I was able to finish off another half finished project laying on my desk. Take a look:   I know… very purple, right? Definitely not my go-to color, but there it is anyway 🙂  In fact, […]

Sending You Sunshine

I’ve been itching to make a shaped card but didn’t know where to start until I saw the weekly challenge at The Friday Mashup is Hexagons or Triangles.  Before Christmas, I just HAD to have the Spellbinders Hexagon dies, so it was time to break them in!   I used the largest die for the […]

Big Birthday Wishes

Howdy folks! Today’s card is bold, bright, and blingy!!! The inspiration for the layout is this week’s sketch from Techno Stamper. I was browsing through my 6×6 paper pads and Hip Hip Hooray by American Crafts was just begging me to use it today 😉  Now, I wouldn’t normally mix really bold papers, but I think […]

100% Adored

Just a quick CAS card for Valentine’s Day featuring Impression Obsession stamps.   The tree is from the Solid Tree stamp set, but instead of using the leaves from that set, I used the heart from the Love Seals stamp set. The medallion sentiment on the front is from that set too, which was then […]

Kissing Chameleons

OK, so I know I already made a card for my hubby, but this might have to replace it and save that one for our anniversary.  I am loving these sweet little chameleons from Elizabeth Dulemba! Look… they are making a heart with their tails!!!  Stinkin’ cute! I uploaded the image into the Silhouette software […]

Birthdays and Donuts

Mmm…… donuts. Oh, hi everyone!  Don’t mind me, I’ve had donuts on the brain ever since I came up with the idea for this card 😉  My dad has had more birthdays that he would care for, but definitely not as many donuts as he’d like, so I’m thinking this birthday card will bring a […]

It’s Your Day

Today’s first card was inspired by the challenges at Just Us Girls (for the color combo) and  Mojo Monday (for the sketch).  What an easy sketch to work with!  I have 2 birthday cards I need to be working on, and I’m not sure this will get used for either one, but I was aiming […]
