A love card

Hey ya'll!

I'm stopping in today to share a card I made, which was 'just for fun' but then I was browsing around at some challenges and saw the Casology challenge has 'adore' as the cue card. So, with my card being 'love' I couldn't have asked for better timing! ;)



Check it out!




I don't usually play much with MFT stamps (being I really only had one waaay older set of theirs. lol) but I recently won some MFT goodies from my friend, Vera and had to put them to use! :) ...Thank you, Vera!! I did also have to buy those new MFT 'wonky stitched' dies...I mean, they are just awesome!! (in my opinion and yes, you'll being seeing those on my cards for a bit! lol)

Anyhow, I kept my card simple and just did some die cutting and coloring. Once done, I put everything together and 'ta-da'!...my card! :) And I did think about stamping on a sentiment, but after some more thinking, thought the little wood veneer piece and enamel heart would pretty much work. ;) I'd love to hear what you think?!...

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

(Hearts) Be Mine

Hey y'all! Hope all is well?!...

I'm not sure about y'all, but I'm beyond done with this whole 'winter' thing! lol Nothing but too cold for me and my family...we're sooo ready for Summer!! Yes, Summer! Spring is lovely, but we really want our heat back! ;)

Anyhoo, enough with my weather rambling. I'm swinging on in today because I'm up on A Jillian Vance Design blog! Here's a little peek for you.




I'd love it, if you'd swing on over to A Jillian Vance Design blog and leave some love there! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Also, lately my crafty mojo has something else going on!...I keep thinking of all these things, but then when I actually try and create them, nothing. Not one thing works. So, soon I hope it will return and I'll be posting more frequently. ;) Sorry about my 'here and there' posts.

Enjoy your day!

love.love.love.

Hey y'all! Hope all is well?!...

I've been a little MIA due to having some kind of bug/cold, though happy to say I feel back to normal!...I still have a little bit of a scratchy voice and cough, but better than before! lol ;)

Anyhow, I'm swinging on in because I'm up on A Jillian Vance Design blog, today! Here's a little peek at my card.

AJVD Anchor...

Hey y'all! Hope all is well?!...

It's been nothing but FREEZING COLD here in Florida!! lol I mean the highs are only in the low 60's if we're lucky, and the mornings have been in the mid/upper 40's!!...Say what!?!...Yeah. I've been keeping my kids warm and home due to the temps (understand, we walk to school and we hardly have any clothes that are geared for this kind of cold!...We are NOT use to this! We feel like we can't even breathe outside because it's that cold! lol). Also, my daughter has strep, which I hear some coughing from my boys but hopefully that's just because of the dry cold weather and nothing else!

Anyhoo, besides telling y'all about how cold we are, today I'm up on A Jillian Vance Design! Here's a little peek for you.



I'd love it, if you could swing on over to A Jillian Vance Design and leave some love there!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
And wherever you are...stay warm and cozy! ;)
Enjoy your day!

Hello

Hey y'all! Hope all is well?!...

Happy day, here! Today, is my first DT post for the Little Tangles Challenge!! Yay! :)

And now for my card...




Hello! I kept things nice and simple. For my background, I did a little masking with a couple of the flowers from Neat and Tangled's Hand Stitched stamp set and then colored them with some markers. I did chose to do my flowers with blues but believe me, you could virtually use any color and I think it would look good! ;) After I was done, I used Neat and Tangled's Hello There die with white cardstock. Which I layered a few times. Easy, yeah?!...

Be sure to swing on over to the Little Tangles Challenge and check out all the DT projects! And while you're there, be sure to join in on the fun!! ;) Hope to see you there!...

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

you are perfect

Hey y'all! Happy Monday!
Hope your week is off to a good start?!

I'm swinging in today to share my card for the Waffle Flower Challenge! If you haven't seen it yet, this month is all about stenciling!








Here's my card.




To do my stenciling, I made my own stencil using Waffle Flower Crafts Tiny Wings die. On a piece of scrap paper, one by one I placed each butterfly where I wanted it and ran it through my die cutting machine. Thus giving me my stencil. 

On my card base, I stamped a few 'floral' images from Waffle Flower Crafts Loved stamp set, using a light grey ink. After, I placed my stencil over my card base and used a couple different distress inks in purple. Once done, I removed my stencil and then stamped on my sentiment using Waffle Flower Crafts Loved stamp set (for the 'you are') and the In Every Way stamp set (for the 'perfect'). To finish things off, I added a few sequins and some white twine. 

Not only did I focus on the stenciling, though I also tried my hand at using purples and the sketch. ;) 

Be sure to swing on over to the Waffle Flower Challenge and see all the DT creations! And while you're there, I hope you'll join us?!! :) 

Hope to see you there! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!
