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.

This card is made with Stampin up products. I do love the colors.

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.. I then stamped the sails from a stampin up set in SU ink and cut them out.. 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.

Do-Al(l)Creative #106 - a little note

Wednesday October 1, 2025

Hello and Fall is in the air 

We have a new challenge over at 

Do-Al(l)Creative #106

Theme: Easel

I thought this time I would try a landscape easel vs. portrait.. I think I like the portrait style better but this was fun.. Picked different designer papers from Stampin up and stamped the boots.. I like rain boots with designs on them so this was fun creating. cut them out. Found a blue that could represent water and cut out a frame area and mounted it on a white A2 size. Stamped the "a little note" and then added the boots.. I creased the card base for the easel part and added the boot piece to that. 

Opened the easel part and added the "sweet friend"
