Hello! I hope this snarky card doesn't offend anyone. I saw this sentiment and had to have it. I ink blended the colors , but it looks like my mango looks a bit more peach , I must have picked up a bit of poppy. I have a couple friends who will love this card, going to make plenty more. I've been so busy lately I've not had a moment to myself, mid college visits with my oldest... hopefully he will pick one soon. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! I've been super busy making tons for Christmas cards for an upcoming craft show I'm doing. I've tried to make sure I've got all my bases cover... snowmen, Santa, reindeer, snowflakes, trees, bells, gingerbread men,poinsettias ,  angels, and religious cards too. I think this die set might work for Easter too. For someone who was making cards all year,I'm in crunch time now. Normally I'm more together than this, but a good friend ordered 50 from me. I hope you all are fairing better with your holiday cards. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! I'm popping by to share my card for this week's sketch challenge. I used a stamp from the oak leaves and acorns set from Colorado craft company , sentiment is SSS. I didn't intend to do a messy watercolor, but once one side started running outside the lines I decided to go with it. The leaves are in full bloom here , what is left of them after today's weather. We had 70 mile an hour wind gusts, trees down and power out all over. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! I'm back with a couple of quick and easy Christmas cards to share. For these cards I used the plaid background stamp and trim the tree die from Concord and 9th, sentiment is from PTI. I stamped the background, die cut the tree and added it to the kraft panel for the first card and then added a piece of kraft behind the negative for the 2nd card. I splattered a bit of white paint and added some twine to finish the cards. This is a great way to really bulk up you card supply quickly. Thanks for stopping by today.

Greetings! I'm back with a fun card to share for this week's color challenge. We are having a DT call so consider playing along , who knows you might be my new team member. I pondered these colors for days, before coming across another baby card I did using this stamp and found my inspiration. I have needed several baby boy cards recently, so this will help replenish my stock. I have finally cleaned my craft area, now I need to either sell or donate the stamps and things I no longer use. What does everyone do with their's ? Let me know in the comments. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! Happy Tuesday to you. I'm popping in to share my card for this week's sketch challenge. I flipped the sketch to fit what I had in mind, kind of similar to the card I did a few weeks back with the 3 leaves. I stacked the dies so they stand out more. I forgot I had so many different snowflake dies, I found these while cleaning my craft area. Yes you read that correctly, I cleaned and de-cluttered it finally. Now if I can figure out what to do with the things I no longer use. Any suggestions? Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! I'm back with another Christmas card to share. It's getting closer, but I'm not worried. I'll have my cards done in plenty of time. For this card I used a turn about stamp from Concord and 9th. I used 3 different blue oxide inks, you could use 4 colors,but I liked the way the 3 looked.  I hope to create another in a different color . Thanks for stopping by today.
