Indian Corn Give Thanks Card

Hello! A couple of years ago I saw a beautiful fall card using an Indian Corn image. It took me awhile to remember what company made the image but I finally found it by Divinity Designs. The stamp set is called A-MAIZE-ING. I colored the image with Copic markers and then used the coordinating die to cut it out. A mix of patterned papers were used and some deckle dies by Hello Bluebird. A few gold sequins to finish it off and everything was adhered flat for easy shipping. That's it! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day.

Christmas/Winter at Craft Rocket

Good day crafty friends! Again this month I'm a guest designer at the Craft Rocket Challenge and the theme is Christmas/Winter. We would love for you to join the challenge and share one of your creations. The challenge runs until November 27th at 12 pm (UK time).🎄

To create my card I used an image by Pink & Main from the Homespun Christmas stamp set. It was colored with Copic markers and then die cut with the coordinating die. Then it was layered on top of patterned paper layers that were die cut with the Frames and Flags die set by Newton's Nook. Everything was adhered flat and that's it. So glad you stopped by and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

Pet Sympathy Cards

Hello! Last month I started a part time job, so my crafting time is more limited than usual. It had been three years since my last job, and I didn't realize how difficult the transition would be. My cats aren't sure what has happened, but thankfully they are only home one day by themselves. 

Recently, I needed a cat sympathy card for a friend who suddenly lost one of her cats. I did a image search and found a card on Pinterest that inspired these designs. It was sad, but two weeks after I made the cat card one of my hubby's coworkers had a dog pass away. So, I made a dog sympathy card using the same design. I used different cloud paper, because I couldn't decide which one I liked better. The cat and dog silhouettes were made using punches by Stampin' Up! and the cloud borders were cut with a Lawn Fawn die. Everything was adhered flat and that's it. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!

Pumpkin Night Halloween Card

Happy Monday! Each day we get closer to Halloween and I still need to make a few cards. So, for this Pumpkin Night Halloween Card I used an image by Stampendous! and colored it with Copic markers. The papers are from an older Pebbles paper pad called Trick or Treat (2016). Some glossy accents were added to the eyes and the sentiment is from a retired Stampin' Up! set called Spooky Treats. Everything was adhered flat for easy shipping and that's it. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!🎃

Challenges entered: Aud Sentiments (Halloween/Fall + A Sentiment), Crafty Gals (Halloween Colours) and Simon Says (Halloween/Spooky).🦇

Taking Care of Me Card

Hello! Two weeks ago today we rescued an older kitten that was crying in our neighborhood. He was super hungry, but very affectionate. It seems he was probably dumped. We have other cats in the house, so the first night my hubby slept in his car with the him. We tried finding a rescue that would take him, but they were all full. So, we are keeping him. There must be a reason he ended up by our house. I've always said, "if you wait long enough a cat will find you".❤

This Taking Care of Me Card was made for the veterinary hospital who took care of him. The image is called Cat's Meow by Unity Stamps and was colored with Copic markers. I think it turned out pretty cute. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!

Autumn/Halloween at Craft Rocket

Good day! I'm happy to be a guest designer at the Craft Rocket Challenge for October and November. This month the challenge is Autumn/Halloween creations. For my card I've used the Hey There Pumpkin stamp set by Unity Stamps. This image is super easy to color and features a black cat, which I love. Some fun Halloween papers from the Echo Park were used and a sentiment from a retired Stampin' Up! set called Spooky Sweets. Everything was adhered flat and that's it! So glad you stopped by and I hope you will play along with the Craft Rocket Autumn/Halloween challenge this month.🎃

Spooktacular Halloween Card

Hello! The month of Halloween has arrived and I enjoy making Halloween cards for family and friends. This Spooktacular Halloween Card was inspired by a couple of challenge. The photo at Inspiration Station has a girl trick-or-treating with a green pumpkin pail and there are bats on the house. The photo at Two Old Bats inspired me to use the spider web oval stamp by Newton's Nook. Most of the supplies used on this card are by Newton's Nook. The image is called Halloween Pile and it was colored with Copic markers. The Oval Frame Dies were used and the patterned paper is from the Halloween Meows paper pad. Everything was adhered flat for easy shipping and that's it. So glad you stopped by and enjoy the rest of your day! 🎃
