 Hello.

Popping in to share one of the fastest cards I've ever made; thanks to my bin of stuff left over. I grabbed an embossed panel, a bold sentiment panel and a die cut dove. 

Of course we also need inspiration and I took mine  from these challenges:

Word Power Make the sentiment the focus

Just Us Girls Die cut week 

Can you handle the pressure Anything goes, no option

 Hi Friends,

I'm excited to add 3 Christmas cards to the stash. The mood board at Peace on Earth Christmas challenge is responsible for this card idea.  I generally want gold on red at Christmas, but that red and white tree made me go in this direction: 



Two new to me stamp sets from SU - Falling Snow and Ornamental Christmas. My Favorite winter embossing folder from Honey Bee Snowy Pines, and several sentiments from Pink Fresh's Basic Banners. Stamp a whole sheet and cut once in various shapes. Fun. Nice to have a pile of sentiments ready to go.

I made a couple more as I loved how the first turned out after a couple of pivots and that makes for two more easy cards.

 Hi there...

Its been ages since I played along with Color Hues, so I was determined to do it today.


Mostly Stampin Up stuff...A round of Hellos stamp set. Paper-Every Day Happiness, Night of Navy and Hammermill, Inks-Night of Navy and Lost Lagoon. I could swear I had the round punch that went with this set but its hiding...no worries a pink fresh circle die worked just as nicely. One random teal gem to tie the flower to the stem and leaves. It takes me longer these days to make a card.  I used to whip em out in less than an hour.  Gotta make more cards and get that muscle memory back. This took an hour and a half...of course there were the usual design changes...lol.

  

Thanks so very much for visiting.

August already...wow.

I have one card for two challenges. This card will visit Cas on Friday - Flowers and As You See It - Summer Days. 


 I had to use that spellbinders sunflower die again, and that fabulous sentiment from Technique Tuesday.
