Landscapes

At The Sisterhood of Crafters our theme is LANDSCAPES.
I had this 'landscape already done and just needed to put it
together for a card.  I think it will make a great masculine card! 

Several years back my BFF and challenge 'partner in crime'
came for a visit and brought her Stampscape Stamps with her
and we had lots of fun getting inky and making  scenes
This is one of my scenes, I have yet to purchase any of these stamps
and think I need to treat myself to a BIG shopping spree of these stamps!
I really like the mill stamp as my hone sits on an old mill run and our front
walk, right at the front door has the old mill stone as part of the walkway,
pretty cool!

We would love to see YOUR landscapes at
The Sisterhood of Crafters!

Coffee/Cocoa Warm Drinks

 Hello friends, it's time for a new challenge at 
Can You Handle The Pressure
where we are all about embossing folders!
Our OPTIONAL theme is Coffee/Cocoa Warm Drinks!
You can create anything goes though as long as you have used an
embossing folder, that is a must requirement!

For my card I pulled an OLD and never been used before 
Tim Holtz Alterations coffee embossing folder.
I embossed it on a kraft paper then die cut and put together
one very picky Cafe Colorize coffee cup!

I die cut it all from scraps of paper and when I went to put it
together several parts had disappeared, has that ever happened to you??
I did have a ceiling fan running at the time so maybe that was my culprit!!

Anyhow I decided to turn it into a thank you card
thinking I could always add a Starbucks gift card to it for a thank you!!

Make sure to visit Can You Handle The Pressure and have some
embossing fun with us!

Word Power #11

We are into the 11th month at Word Power 
which seems so hard to believe, time sure does 'fly' as they say!
Our challenge is all about letting your sentiments 
take 'center stage' not just a one word tiny sentiment.
I pulled out my fun (and yummy) Concord & 9th
Sweet As Pie die set and created a fun pumpkin pie card,
after all it is the season for it, right?
All you see is part of the die set, they thought of everything,
even the pie server!!
I die cut my sentiment words three times and
stacked one on top of the other so it would really 'pop'!
All the papers used are scraps with the exception of
the plaid which is a P13 Hello Autumn paper.
I think this card will go to a granddaughter
that loves her grandma's cards and saves each and every one,
 she is 18 now, she has quite a collection of them!!

We would love to have you join us at Word Power,
what are you waiting for??

Warm and Cozy

Hello friends, today at Double D we are all about being
WARM & COZY which is our theme this time around!
We have  cozy mood board for inspiration! 

I let the winter scarves inspire me, after all they do keep you warm and cozy!!
I inked a cold and dark sky, cut my snow hill with a Lawn Fawn Stitched Hill die
and created the bears using  a Cottage Cutz Artic Polar Bear & Cub die.
This is the same die we are giving away to one lucky random drawn winner
as our prize, and it's a special one, as it is no longer available for purchase!

The sentiment is an oldie from JustRite.

Come on over to Double D and get 'warm & cozy'
with our teams, we would LOVE to see YOUR
cozy entries!!

Stencil Fun November 2024

Hello friends, today at Stencil Fun our OPTIONAL theme is 
Make it Sparkle/Shine
but you can create anything as long as a stencil has been used!

For my 'shine' card I used an older Memory Box (2014) Texture Shine stencil with gold metallic stenciling paste.
I was happy it still was plenty wet since I rarely use the
paste to stencil anymore but love the sparkle-y shimmery shine it gives.  I heat embossed my sentiment
with Sparkle N Sprinkle Gold detail embossing powder.
The sentiment is a Sizzix Hello Sunshine stamp set.
I added one of my little handmade flowers.                         

             

For my Anything Goes card I used one of a set of four
background stencils from the February 2024 Spellbinders Stencil club.
stenciled in a pretty pink.
When Simon has their BIG sales (usually a lot for 99cents) I try to keep track
so I don't miss out and get some pretty great deals.  That is where my floral
topper came from, a Stampendeous Quick Cards Hope of Spring.
The sentiment is Pink Fresh Studio.

Come on over to Stencil Fun and join in with us!!

Peace On Earth Challenge #75

 Happy November!!
The holidays are sneaking up on us real fast it seems
and there is still time to get some of those holiday cards
created and entered into our Peace On Earth challenge!

We are an anything goes challenge as long as it is
Christmas themed!
As always we have a fun inspiration board
full of sweet goodness!

I did let all those 'gingers' inspire me and used a fun
Mintay Sweetest Christmas paper for my background.

I used a Tutti Designs postage die cut and all the rest
of the dies are from a Tonic set that makes an actual gingerbread house gift box,
I just used a few pieces of it.
The sentiment is part Hero Arts and part Pretty Pink Post..

Come on over and visit us at Peace On Earth!!

Triple B November 2024

Hello friends, we are already into the 11th month of the year (yikes)
and that means a new challenge for the month of November at
Triple B 
where you can enter your butterfly, bird, and/or blooms into our fun challenge.
As always we have a pretty inspiration board in true fall colors!!

I used mostly die cuts for my card. The white doily cut underneath was already
cut and in my stash of die cuts to use up.  It is a Cheery Lynn Designs
Lords & Commons die.  The flowers are Concord & 9th Picked Posies.
The butterfly is new all favorite Poppystamps Fanfare Nordic Butterfly.
Sentiment is Stampendous.
I could of added a few more florals to it, but decided I liked the eye drawn
to the big boldness of both the butterfly and bloom!

We hope to see YOU at our Triple B challenge with your
Blooms~Birds~Butterflies!!
