Stencil Fun Easter

Hi everyone,

This is an Easter Card that I made using a stencil of swirls from a dollar store.  The cross is from the Stampin Up “Hold onto Hope” set and the sentiment is from the Stampin Up “His Grace” set.  I made the wreath with  circle frame that I cut and then covered with tiny die cut flowers.

I am entering this card into the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge.  The theme is Stencil Fun.

Spring Flowers

Hi everyone,

Today I am posting a Thank You card using the “Garden Gild Kit” by Papertrey Ink.   I love this set and have used it frequently.  This is for the Paper Players challenge PP482.  Paper Players

God is Love

Hi there,

As I mentioned, I have been busy making Easter cards.  So here is another one.  This was created for the Wednesday challenge at Simon Says Stamp.  The challenge was to “Use Some Green”. This card is created using a Stampin’ Up set called “Hold Onto Hope”.  The background stamp was purchased used at a local craft sale,  So I have no idea where it came from.  It was an old Wood block stamp.

Happy Easter

Hi everyone,

Wow, I have been gone a long time!  I am going to try and get going again.  To that end I am posting a new card for the addicted to CAS Challenge #179 - Symmetry.  I have been busy making Easter cards for my church and I was really pleased with this one.  I hope you like it, too.

The Easter Egg came from a Stampin’ Up set called Easter Blossoms.  The Happy Easter sentiment comes from an old wood block stamp but I don’t remember where it came from.

Joy Snowflakes

Here is a card I made for several different challenges.  They are:

1) Papertake Weekly Challenge - the theme was white and required that white be a major component of the card

2) Shopping Our Stash Challenge # 81 - The theme was "Sentimentally Yours" which required that a sentiment be the focus of the card.  And the item from my stash is the digital stamp that I used.  I have had it for over a year and hadn't had a chance to use it yet.  Unfortunately, I didn't make a note of where I got the digital stamp, so I can't give a shout-out to the designer.  Sorry about that!  Also, this is the first time that I used my snowflake embossing folder.  So I used two items I have had in my stash for a while.

3) Dutch Dare Challenge # 195 - The theme was "Snowflakes"

4) Totally Papercrafts Challenge # 147 - this is a sketch challenge and here is the sketch 

5) Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge # 138 - the theme was "Snow" in any form.

Happy New Year!

I made this card for the Crafty Catz Challenge # 163 - the theme was "New Beginnings"

I used half of a cork to make the cork for the card..

Edgy Tree

Here is a card I have made for two challenges.  I want to describe how I made the tree on the left hand side of the card.  I took the paper I was using as background paper and cut the shape of half of the tree out from the left hand side.  Then I glued the background paper to the card stock.  Then, using a craft knife, with the card folded, I very carefully cut around the shape of the the aperture on the background paper.  So then when I opened it up I had a full tree.  I thought it was a really fun technique and I think I will use it again.

Anyway,  here are the challenges I am using this card for:
1) Charismas Cardz Challenge # 49 - the theme was "Christmas Makes"
2) Simon Says Challenge - What is your favorite tool, stamp or project.  Well, I have to say that my favorite tool is probably always going to be my quilling tool.  While I love using multiple techniques, it is the quilling to which I always go back.
