Floral Fun

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I found this die cut piece tucked in my UFO box and a  piece of background

that I believe was a gel print using two colors of paint and a mask or stencil.

The colors were perfect for the Color Hues Challenge of 

Turquoise and Green.

I've left the sentiment off since it will be in a gift box of note cards with

unattached die cut sentiments.

And a UFO twofer....

I found this flower that was die cut from a re-inker smooshed panel.

It looks turquoise IRL, but more blue in the photo.  So I'll deliver this one to

The Flower Challenge which is looking for square cards.  It's 4 1/4 inch square.

This is such a perfect size to tuck into a gift package and I never have any done when

I need them.  Time to  build a little stash.

Challenges:

Color Hues #82 - Turquoise & Green

The Flower Challenge #89 - Make a Square Card

Patterned Paper

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Like a lot of you, I have hoarded a ton of patterned paper.

So when I saw that the Double D challenge was asking for patterned paper,

I decided to take a break from the UFO box and try to pare down the paper collection.

I pulled out a package of paper a sweet friend sent me a few years ago.  It has a lot

of gold foil running through the designs.  I have taken it out so many times and oohed

and aahed over the beautiful patterns and carefully put them back in the package.

I was determined to use some.  The hardest part was choosing which pattern to use!

I just cut this piece to a bit smaller than a card front and added a thin frame and

hello die cut from gold foil.  I punched a few tiny dots to add here and there too.

The selections of paper had some printed vellum designs too and I got really brave....

Isn't it pretty?

I cut a bit from the top and bottom and wrapped the sides around a piece 

of white cardstock, wrapped some gold twine around a few times and tied a bow.

The next photo shows the gold better.

I'm so glad I finally decided to put some of this gorgeous paper on a card!

Our Craft Group is going to use patterned paper for our swaps next month so I

think I'll be using some more of this paper.

Challengs:

Double D - Use Patterned Paper.

Tic Tac Toe #242 - Metallic, Free, Floral

Card Recipe

Stamps:  

Ink:   

Paper:   Patterned Paper (?), Neenah Solar White, Gold Foil

Other:  Yana's Wonderful Scripted Sentiments Die (Spl), A2 Thin Frames Die (SSS), Gold Twine

Enjoy!

Turning the Page March 2024

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Time to turn the page on our calendars to a new month.

 

I make calendars each year for my desk and my family.

 

I thought I'd set up a regular post on the first day of each month to share them.

 

I hope you enjoy my “Turning the Page” posts.

 

Here's our March page using Penny Black's Splendiferous and colored with Copics

By the way, the calendars 4 ½ x 7 inches and and can be displayed on an easel

or hung on a push pin or magnetic hook.  We all have a different way to display them.

 

If you would like a word document with the calendar, email me

and I will be glad to send it to you so you can design your own.

Email link is on the sidebar.

Enjoy!
