Making Time for a Card

Hi there! Still busy here at my home so many things going on at once. What a blessing to have this craft for a bit of time to just think and enjoy for a bit.

I used my brand new 

Concord & 9th Filled In Florals BUNDLE   the background  stencil is from Altenew : Wavy Gird Stencil

Have to run and take our big pup to the vet. 

God bless you and I hope you are having a wonderful week.

Hello Lovely Spring Colors

Tag You're It #87

Hi there! Don't you just love this beautiful picture and wonderful Spring colors! Hope to see you play along!

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms!

I used the beautiful Concord & 9th : Hello Lovely stamp and die set. I recently bought the die and so glad I did. I really had fun playing around with all the stamps in this set and then watercoloring over it a bit more to soften it up. 

This is kinda different for me , but I do like the way it turned out. 

I used Memory Box for the tag and Poppystamps Whittle birds all listed and a few linked below.

Thank you and God bless!

Time to Celebrate

Beautiful March Kit Photo by Lindsey 

Hello friends! I know I have been missing in action for a bit. We are still very busy with some remodel and life. 

Welcome to this months post for : The 12 Kits of Occasions 

Kara Pogreba Is our host for the moth of April! 

I lined my envelopes with the patterned paper from the kit and used : Wplus 9 envelope liner.

Stamping Bella: Uptown Girl Grace the Graduate.

As you can see the theme for this month is graduation, I made a few cards that could be for any congratulations and maybe a birthday or two.

Lawn Fawn: Hats Off to You , Congrats : My Favorite Things

 I fussy cut the graduation caps and added some foam tape then adhered to this beautiful patterned paper included in the kit.

Simon Says Stamp : Congratulations

I used the leftover strip of the Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow patterned paper and raised up the top panel for this card.

My Favorite Things: Celebrate

I kept this one simple and masculine for the guy graduate.

I used some more of the patterned paper to line my envelopes

3D Garden Card

CAS(E) this Sketch #317

Hello! I have a card for a few fun challenges today.
 I have lots to do today but told myself craft room time is going to be first on the list. Sometimes you  just know craft time is a good way to start the day and needed :)

 I had many die cut blooms so it was fun to just assemble 

this card as I followed the sketch above .

Most of the products I used are listed below.

Take care friends.

Thank you for the visit.

As I write this post I am sad to say I am watching (tv) Notre Dame Cathedral burn. So very sad.

Easter Tag You're It!

TagYou're It

Hi there! I have some Easter tag inspiration for you today, 

with many fun dies from the past, that I still love!

I took out some oldies but goodies to use on my tag!

 I think I will always love these little stitched bunnies 

and Easter eggs .

( I cut the eggs and bunnies out of white cardstock then sponged on the color)

The grass is from lawn fawn cupcake liner, the larger white background is just something

 I cut to be a bit larger than the stitched tag.

p.s. the little felt bunny in the background is from 

Memorybox 

Hope you have time to play along.... 

Have a great week!
