Theme: Grateful

This is another Stampin up kit. I was over visiting my friend and she has a bunch of these pumpkin kits from Stampin Up, so we like to use them and visit and just have fun. It's so nice to have a best friend and one that you just love to spend time with. This kit comes with all that you need to create cards. This card was to be landscape but I turned it to be portrait and I like it better. I stamped the sentiment and love the colors.. I appreciate you more than you know.. I am grateful you visit my blog and leave a comment. I love the kind words and for your time to visit me. Thank you.

I chose the theme

Theme: birthday add at least one flower

November is my birthday month and some of my loved ones.. So though birthday and at least one flower would be a good theme. 

This is a card using Stampin up products.. the background was stamped with the flower and then stamped and die cut out. The sentiment and dies are SU. There is a die cut scallop and you can see on the bottom photo you can see the hole through the front. I thought it was cute. My friend thought of this design.

Alphabet challenge - O

Friday October 31, 2025

Happy Halloween if you celebrate it.

I don't.. too old and we live too far out for kids to come up to our house.

We have a new challenge over at

Alphabet challenge

Theme: O - Oval card and with One word sentiment

I used a Stampin up die and cut it out.. I used thin card stock cause I was worried the die wouldn't cut through both layers so I cut it twice and adhered them to make it feel thicker. I also added the Stampin up punch to enforce the top. I used paper I found in an envelope some one sent me and thought perfect for the card. My one word sentiment is Smile.. I cut it 3 times to make it thicker. The die is from My favorite things.

Halloween isn't my thing but I sure love the colors.. I used a scrap base and used a Stamp camp over all stamp for the marble background using Stampin Up ink..

Arranged into pin wheels and added a button to the centers.. haven't used buttons in quite awhile and I like the look vs. die cutting a circle. the sentiment is from Simon says  and used a Tech. Tues banner die.

Alphabet challenge - N - Dreams drift on ebony skies

Friday October 17. 2025

Hello

We have a new challenge over at

Alphabet challenge N

Theme: Night - moon / clouds / sleeping image

I was over at another crafty friends house and used her products. I took a lot of the die cuts, embossed papers home so I could create when needed. This turned out perfect. She had this embossing folder that is clouds and she had the moon.. I cut the moon 3 times thinking for other projects but once I was getting my card together I ended up stacking them and it looked better. I used Ranger ink to create the night sky. I sprinkled (too heavily) Perfect Pearls. I also used perfect pearls on the moon so it has a nice glow. My best friend for many many years who was also a crafter and who passed way to soon made up this saying and had it made into a stamp. I got that stamp with a few others she was had after her passing. I loved that it fit this card theme perfectly.. I used Paper trey ink die and went around it with Ranger ink.
