Container Garden for Paper Players #556

Happy Sunday. Apologies that this post is a little late - especially as it is my turn to host our thepaperplayers.blogspot.comPaper Players challenge this week! It's tic-tac-toe week and this board has a little something feminine and a little something masculine! So hopefully, you will join us and play along. Here's the board: I went with feminine, birthday and florals. To make my card I used the Container Garden set from The Greetery - it was really easy to stamp the elements and die-cut them with the matching dies. I used a colored base - wow.... not the usual white....... Read more →

Botanicuts Toadstool for Addicted to CAS #205

Happy Saturday. It's the fabulous Toni's turn to host our Addicted to CAS challenge this week and this is her code word: Now, there are so many places to go with Nature as the code word.... for me...

Gettin Cosy - for Just Add Ink

Happy Monday. So, I have another card for you tonight that I made when I was playing in my craft room this weekend. I saw this great sketch across at Just Add Ink and decided I had to play along. I don't know why, but I had this image of how this card would look if I used my Katies Cuties: Gettin Cosy set from The Greetery. It's such a sweet set. I did some quick coloring and then backed it with a piece of DSP, added the twine and a sentiment and the card was done! Here's my card:... Read more →
