 Hello-

I am popping in with a couple more cards, they are simple and quick. The first will be submitted to Peace on Earth Christmas  and  Tic Tac Toe.(left to right diagonal) The second card will go to Double D Challenges.

A very easy card, white heat embossed and some pink fresh clear iridescent drops added as ornaments.

   

 

This is very similar but with an added layer of gold mirror card, and the "dots" are pink fresh drops in gold.

Both of these cards will go in packages, as they probably won't play nice with the postal sorting machines.

Thanks much for stopping by.

 Greetings...

I have a Halloween card to share at Tic Tac Toe using the lower left to upper right diagonal, matching envelope, patterned paper, holiday.  I am also submitting this to Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge, the web was my inspiration. 

The papers, sentiment, gem and die pieces come from Stampin Up. I grabbed the die set from the clearance section, recently. It also has an arched cat silhouette.  I inked up the panel behind the house using HA inks in orange soda and butter bar.

     

Thanks for stopping by.

 Hello-

My Friday night date is in my crafty space tonight.  I recently got a witch stamp from a friend and I thought it would be fun to use it as the object for a thank you card. The included sentiment works perfectly for this.  My design inspiration comes from Tic Tac Toe...I chose the left to right diagonal...creepy, green and patterned paper. 

The paper is from SU, the stamps from Trinity stamps. Inks were distress in mowed lawn, pine needles and black soot.  I used a large stencil to mask the circle, and then when I took it away it seemed a bit too sterile and white so I added some green "mist".

Thanks for visiting.

 Hello,

A two post day...

This card is visiting three challenges.  

Triple B - June I chose Butterflies, Double D Challenges I made a blue monochromatic card, and for Tic Tac Toe I am using the far right column Die cut, bright color and CAS.

 

 The die came with my Gemini machine, and I finally tried it out.  I used a premade cardbase and matching envie from Stampin up and then inked a handful of the cut butterflies to match. They then were placed in to the spaces with the wings fluffed. The larger got a pearl embellishment.  Reminds me of cards I might have made 5-6 years ago...but I love it.

      

 Thanks so much for visiting...again.

 Hello-

Back in my crafty space.  This card will be visiting the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge.

These lush blooms are from Pretty Pink Posh...colored with zigs on bristol.

They have given us an optional moodboard...I love the deep pinks.

  

I have a second card, a fun fold graduation card for our nephew.  His university colors are green and gold and I found a patterned paper that was close to green gold.  I created an easel for the card to stand because it just opens with the top flap and then there is a pocket to put a gift card/check/ note inside.  The owl was a stamp off from Peggy -- I have no idea of the maker.

This on is going to the Tic Tac Toe gallery using the top row. You can see the patterned paper and a gold strip adorning the envelope flap beneath the card.

  

 Thanks so much for visiting.

 Hello -

Hubs and I just got back from a week in Ohio visiting his folks. 

I needed some card time after being away, and as I looked through the challenges this card came together.

I cut the Spellbinders Anemone die 3 times in black and 3 times in red.  I glued first the black outline die cuts then puzzle pieced in the red pieces and black flower centers. One left over red outline adorns the envelope flap.  The sentiment is from The Ton and adhered with foam tape.

I am entering it to the galleries at Tic Tac Toe -right column and Triple B May Challenge.

   

Thanks much for visiting.

 Hi
I am back with a card for three challenges: Color Throwdown, Freshly Made Sketches and Tic Tac Toe. 

I used the colors from color throwdown, the sketch from freshly made, and florals/foilage blank pastel colors from the center ttic-tac-toe row which all came together for this card.

 

I used Reverse Confetti's Sending Smiles stamp and die sets.

 

     

Thanks much for visiting.

WOW, how did it become October so fast?

For those of you in the path of Ian, hope you made it through the storm with little or no damage sending prayers and good thoughts.

 

Its a special day today, the first Saturday in October - World Card Making Day... 

Peggy and I are face-timing making some cards to celebrate the day. 

The first card I tackled was inspired by both Can You Handle the Pressure and Tic Tac Toe Challenges.

The card panel was dry embossed with the Stampin Up EF Layered Leaves.  I added fall colors of orange,  yellow, red and green to the embossed areas. To finish I added a sparkling copper ribbon from SU as well, and die cut a SSS sentiment which was mounted on vellum and adhered to the ribbon. A few copper gems and this one was finished. For Tic Tac Toe I used the upper row, for Can You Handle the Pressure the theme was embossing folder with a twist of leaves.

   

Have you seen the colors at Color Throwdown?  Wow so eye catching so you know I had to play along.

The pumpkins are from Lawn Fawn dies, I added a sparkling blue ribbon over a cream one. The cardbase is cream, and the focal panel is kraft.

  

I think its time for lunch, I can smell the chili I put on this morning.  I'll probably still make a few cards later on, we'll see.

Enjoy your day.

Thanks for visiting.
