All About The Shoes.

Today I am sharing a Halloween card with you using supplies from My Sweet Petunia.  I started with a white top-folding card base and a white panel. I created an ink-blended background with Halloween colors.

I placed a panel of white cardstock down on the Petunia Platform, and used a Power Mag to hold it in place while ink-blended a background.  Next, I placed a panel in the Original Misti and stamped the shoe, colored it using OLO markers, and cut it out with the coordinating die.

 I added some gold splatter, embossed the spider web in gold added some gold metallic marker accents. To finish the card, I stamped the sentiment and the spider. 

M is for ....

It's time for a new game at AAA Cards.  play along with us and use something with a M on your project. 

M is for Moose!

To make my card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base. I created a backgound using a stencil and masking tape. I stamped, colored and cut out the Moose using the coordinating dies. 

Sending Sunshine - September Edition

Today's card is for the Sending Sunshine hop over on Instagram. This hop is a spin off from the annual suicide awareness hop. We are a group of cardmakers who want to actually send out some sunshine. 

This card is actually part of a set I made to giveaway so they can send some sunshine too.  

CAS Insta Hop - September Edition

Today's card is for the CAS hop over on Instagram. Each month a group of makers get together and post a Clean & Simple card using a theme.The theme this month was Fall. I love this little fox from the Fall Foxes set by The Rabbit Hole Designs and I use it every chance I get.

Santa's Express

Today I am playing with the new Side Step Fun Fold Die by Dare 2B Artzy. I paired it up with another new release Santa's Express.  The merry Christmas sentiment is from the Peace & Joy set. The patterned paper I used is from the Teapots and Tiny Tales collection. I used a circle die to cut out the postage samp from the paper. 

Suicide Prevention Month

September is Suicide Awareness month and this card is for a hop I am participating in over on Instagram. 

I lost one of my older brothers to suicide back in 2019 so this cause holds a deep meaning for me. 

Today we begin our Suicide Prevention Week Card Hop with a simple message that every person deserves to hear:
You matter.
You don’t have to be a counselor or mental health professional to make a difference in someone’s life. Sometimes it begins with something much smaller — noticing someone, checking in, sending a message, listening, or simply reminding another person that they are important.
That is one reason handmade cards feel so meaningful to us. A card can say:
I see you.
I’m thinking about you.
I’m glad you’re here.
You matter to me.
Throughout this week, we’ll share cards, resources, and simple things all of us can learn about supporting one another and preventing suicide.

I lost one of my older brothers to suicide so this hits home with me and I want to raise awareness as much as I can.
If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, please reach out for support. In the U.S., call or text 988. If you live outside the U.S., please use your country’s crisis or suicide-prevention resources.

Purple

Today starts a new challenge at Addicted to CAS, it's my turn to host and for this challenge and I chose the code word...

Purple is one of my favorite colors, the other is teal/aqua. 

To make this card, I started with a whit top folding A2 card base and a white panel. I heat embossed several times to make it a thick heat embossed image and then colored it using OLO markers.

The sentiment is by Waffle Flower. 

Celebrating Spellbinders September Edition

Today's card is for a hop over on Instagram celebrating Spellbinders. it's where a group of us get together and feature projects using Spellbinder products. No theme just as long as we use their products.

My card uses the Dumpster Fire stamp and die set. I have had this for a while, but haven't had a chance to use it. 

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and some colored cardstock. I cut strips of the cardstock for the background and cut out the dumpster out of colored cardstock. I took some distress ink and added to the dumpster to give it a authentic look because I have never seen a clean dumpster. To finish the card, I added the sentiment.  

Addicted to Stamps & More No. 525

Today starts a new challenge aat Addicted to Stamps & More. It's time for our Diecuts and/or Stencils.

For my project I made a Christmas Tag using Diecuts and a Stencil. The products I used are from a Crop & Create holiday event. I love this cute snowman but then again they melt my heart. 

This tag is also for the Fan Club Christmas challenge at Splitcoaststampers.

AAA Cards - Game 322

Today starts a new game at AAA Cards. We have a theme for you, back to the 70s and 80s.

I had another set I was going to use with an Etch a Sketch but I could not find it so a cassette tape is the next best thing I could find that reminded me ot the 70s or 80s.

The cassette tape is a die set by Concord & 9th and the swirly stencil was in my stencil box but I am pretty sure it's by Dare 2B Artzy.
