The Sisterhood Of Crafters "Fancy Fold" Challenge

*** Click HERE for the FCCB "Back To School" Challenge ***

Greetings to my crafty friends! I hope you are all having a wonderful week! Today I'm excited to be featured again as a "Step Sister" for The Sisterhood Of Crafters.

The challenge theme this time is "Fancy Folds". I must admit that I don't do a whole lot of these, but every time I make one I think to myself "I should do these more often", lol. This easel card was really fun to make....

This 5 x 6" easel card was made entirely with products from the Doodlebug "Fruit Stand" collection. The products include:  12 x 12" cardstock, Doodle Tags, Mini Doodle-Pops, Mini Banners & washi tape.

The Sisterhood Of Crafters "Your Favorite Colors" Challenge

*** Click HERE for the FCCB Sketch Challenge ***

Greetings to my crafty friends! I hope you are all having a wonderful week! Today I'm honored & excited to be featured as a "Step Sister" for The Sisterhood Of Crafters.

The challenge theme is "Your Favorite Colors". This is a tough one for me, because my favorite colors tend to change with the seasons, but I'm currently loving the bright summer colors, specifically hot pink & green. I really like contrasting them against a strong neutral, like slate grey, as I've done here with this set of simple note cards....

CRICUT:  Expression 2 & Gypsy
CARTRIDGES:  "Storybook" & "Small Talk Frames & Tags"
PAPER:  CTMH "Lollydoodle" paper pack & card kit
STAMP SETS:  CTMH Petite Perks "Nature's Delight" & "Delicate Wings"
INK:  CTMH Exclusive Inks "Pear", "Cotton Candy" & "Slate"
DRY EMBOSSING:  Cuttlebug machine; Provo Craft "D'Vine Swirls" folder; Darice "Chevron" folder
WET EMBOSSING:  VersaMark Watermark stamp pad; Ranger embossing powder (White); Marvy Uchida heat tool

A Birthday Buck

*** Click HERE for the FCCB "Bug Out" Challenge ***

Hello, my crafty friends! I hope you are all enjoying your Friday! We are definitely enjoying some much needed cooler weather here in Northern Cali. Today I'm sharing the card I made for my hubby's birthday, which was on Sunday. He's not a hunter (thank God!) but we love to watch all the wildlife, especially the deer, on & around our property here in the mountains. I always make him cards with tractors, trucks or tools on them, so I decided to change it up this time.

SIZE:  A2
CRICUT:  Expression & Gypsy
CARTRIDGE:  "Wildlife"
PAPER:  Cosmo Cricket; Core'dinations
STAMP SET:  Paper Smooches "Sentiment Sampler"
INK:  Tim Holtz Distress Ink "Forest Moss"
