Detailed Dove Dies for Freshly Made Sketches

Happy Monday. I have a very quick post for you today. I did get into my crafting cave for a couple of hours yesterday. One of the cards I made is for the Freshly Made Sketches sketch this week and I was inspired to use my Detailed Doves Dies from the new Stampin' Up! mini catalog. I love these dies and this will be one of the Christmas cards I make to send out this year. You can see that I had to flip the sketch to make it work for the dies. Die cutting and assembling the elements of... Read more →

Merry Moose for As You See It

Happy Wednesday. It's hump day and are officially on our way to the weekend! I have a card for you today - clean and simple - using Merry Moose from the new Stampin' Up catalog. Except, it doesn't feature the moose - just the tree stamp. I was inspired to make this card for the As You See It challenge - and it's a speed stamping challenge! I made this card from start to finish in 9 minutes... a record for me. I used the tree from the Merry Moose set and stamped it with a darker green in the... Read more →

Christmas Selfies for AAA 169 and blog candy

Happy Friday! I am SO glad that it is Friday - this has been a very long week, despite being a short work week! I have a card to share with you using My Favorite Things Christmas Selfies and it was made for the "made in minutes" AAA challenge that has a twist - Christmas in July. I knew the Christmas Selfies set would be perfect for a made in minutes Christmas themed challenge. It's so easy to stamp and die-cut and I did some very fast coloring. This is where the blog candy comes in! I was in such... Read more →

Honey Bee for Addicted to CAS #179

Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday. It's the fabulous Raga's turn to host our Addicted to CAS challenge this week and this is her code word: Now... this was an interesting challenge as symmetry can have multiple meanings. For me, I went with "correct or pleasing proportion of the parts of a thing". The wonderful thing about about a honeycomb is the symmetry.. There is something very pleasing about it. So, I used that as the background and added a trifecta of bees :-) Here's my card: I hope you will join us this week. We can't wait to see what you... Read more →
