I can’t believe it’s 2021. I’m always excited for fresh starts and a new year is a great one!

This fun slimline card was inspired by a challenge over at Stamp Nation for their 10th birthday party! Here’s the inspiration photo

I love all the bright colors! The ones that stood out to me the most were the teals, peaches, and pinks.

I used the Doodle Windows slimline die by Catherine Pooler

And the stamps are from the CP I Scream You Scream set

It’s a party on the card but still has a clean feel to it, which I like

The finishing touch is almost always sequins! I used several different sets of Catherine Pooler sequins to just the right colors

Thank you for visiting! I have another fun card that will be up tomorrow and a video early next week.

Yay for lots of stamp time!

Happy New Year!! I’m looking forward to a fresh start. A fun way to begin is with a new Double Trouble challenge! We are starting a little early this round so that we can have max play time with our partner ColorMyHeart Inspirational board color challenge

We are getting cozy with this one! Thing 1 wants to see us use our Cuttlebug and cuddle up!!

I used mine to create this dry embossed background for behind this cozy warm fireplace

Thing 3 wants to see you use a warm and cuddly critter. I didn’t have one to go with this scene so I left it a clean and simple fireplace and mantle scene

For the ColorMyHeart side of the challenge that Thing 2 wants us to partner with, I just loved all the warm and cozy colors of the inspiration picture

The hues of oranges, browns, and rusty colors is what really stood out to me with this scene. And the fireplace of course!

This warm and cozy card is ready to give a family a card that is from our home with love

Thank you for visiting! Please visit Double Trouble as well as ColorMyHeart to find all the details and play along. We’d love to see what you come up with.

Again, Happy New Year!

Hi everyone! I have a fun shaker card today using the fun color inspiration from the current Lawn Fawnatics challenge!

I loved playing around and seeing what I could come up with. I also wanted to incorporate the challenge at Simon Says Stamp “Let it Snow” – using Lawn Fawn products.

Here’s what I came up with!

I used the “Ready Set Snow” stamp set by Lawn Fawn and I just love those cute little snowmen!

I filled the bottom of this cute little snowy scene with snowflake sequins

And I put this cute little setup on an ink blended and splattered piece of card stock that I die cut using the Simon stitched rectangles. I added a matching envelope and this card is ready to get in the mail!

If you head to my Instagram, I have a quick video there of this card coming together! Thank you for stopping to see it today!

Hello! Happy Monday! We already get a fun new challenge from Double Trouble

I was in the mood to make a shaker and I love my new birch trees die by Catherine Pooler. And Thing 1 is wanting to see a die cute! So I cut it and glittered it up and made it the front of the shaker

I used a LOT of sequins. Honestly, it was almost my whole little jar of Christmas Cove sequins! Thing 3 says “tie it up” so I tied some sheer ribbon from behind the panel up by the sentiment.

And that sentiment is cut using my Cricut! Thing 2 has challenged us to play along with Bitten By the Bug 2 – and they are asking us to use a cut that is from a machine. I used the Jasmine Cricut cartridge and then shaded the letters with some distress ink.

And that’s my card for today! I’m looking forward to making several different cards this week and hope you will swing by and visit.

Hugs!

Happy Monday everyone! Time for a new Double Trouble challenge and it’s one of my favorites – Tic Tac Toe!

I went with the top row across

Pumpkin, leaves, dies. I was also in the mood to make this a slimline card

I used the giant hot drink cup die by Catherine Pooler and made it part of this card front. Lots and lots of die cut leaves on this card!

I made the cup wrap fancy with leaf dies by Your Next Stamp and those cute little Autumn leaves all around the “thanks” are from the October Club Sursee by Catherine Pooler. You might be wondering where my pumpkin is! It’s on the inside of my card.

I’ll be adding a box of pumpkin spice hot cocoa mix with this card to thank a sweet friend of mine. So the big cup on the front and the pumpkin and cocoa sentiment are perfect

With the Tic Tac Toe taken care of for Thing 1, I needed to fulfill Thing 3’s request – a bold sentiment. This big “thanks” die is from Pink and Main. You might have noticed that cute little shaker element for the front of the cocoa cup

With the matching slimline kraft envelope, this card is ready to be given!

Thing 2 wants you to remember our partner for this challenge – The Paper Fun challenge! It’s “Anything Goes” with the optional twist of “Thankful”. Be sure to head to the Double Trouble blog for all the details to play along. We can’t wait to see what you create!

Have a wonderful day and may your week ahead be fabulous 🙂

Hello! I hope you have all had a happy week 🙂

I’ve got a winter card today, using October Club Sursee products by Catherine Pooler. I got my layout inspiration from the challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches

I took that left column idea and moved it in just a little bit

Isn’t that ice skate just so cute?! I love all the winter foliage that comes in this stamp set

I found these jewel tones on a google image for color inspiration and the gold column is embossed with gold glitter, then some gold sequins for lots of glitz!

I’m loving all the cards I’m seeing with alternate Christmas colors and I played with that a little here. It’s a fun and different look!

Thank you for stopping by to see my card! I’m looking forward to posting some fun cards next week 🙂

If you head to my Instagram, I’m currently doing a giveaway where I enter your name in a drawing for a Catherine Pooler gift card if you’ll send a card to an amazing girl who could really use them! All info is over there.

Hugs!

Hello everyone! Happy Monday and happy November!

Today starts a new challenge over at Double Trouble Challenge Blog and it’s a fun one. We are teaming up with Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenges for their sketch this week as well as next and both sketches are fabulous

Here is their first sketch – #393

Thing 1 wants everyone to “stitch it up”! So I used lots of stitched die cuts

Thing 3 wants us to use a funny image or sentiment. I realized I really don’t have any funny sentiments or images. But I liked this silly pun with the cactus

The sketch for next week by Atlantic is another great one

I went with a Winter theme on this one and I love the clean and simple look

I used stamps and dies from the latest Catherine Pooler Club Sursee

I love this sketch and will be using it for a lot of different cards coming up. This is also a favorite color combo I found last Christmas during a Stamp Nation challenge. So pretty!

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you will swing by Double Trouble and Atlantic Hearts to play along in your cardmaking.

See you again soon!
