Beach/Sea ATC

Wow!  It has been a while since I posted.  I went on a 20 day Mediterranean cruise in May and then my Father-in-law passed away and time got away from me.  I have been crafting just not posting on my blog.
When I saw the ATC Around the World challenge I wanted to make a Beach/Sea ATC from the Club Scrap High Tide stamps and kit.  (Note:  I don't receive any compensation from Club Scrap for this post, I just like their products).   I will also be trading these ATCs with the Club Scrap ATC group.

I heat embossed with clear EP over the blue ink to give it a shine.  Now that things have calmed down and summer is over I hope to be posting more on my blog.

Happy Crafting!

Baby Shower Card

Sorry I haven't posted for a while.  My Mom broke her arm at the shoulder and is in a sling for a long time.  I have been with her at the hospital and now the Rehab facility every day.  Busy time!  I have a baby shower to go to this weekend with a giraffe theme.  Club Scrap's Gone Wild Kit had the perfect paper and embellishments for the card! 

Hope you all have a great day.  Here's hoping I can get back to blogging more soon!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

I made this card for the challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #129.  The challenge was "D is for diet."  The sentiment is from Club Scrap Bon Appettite kit (retired).  I had to make the cookie myself.  I thought the crumbs were a nice addition!

Cards in Envy Final Farewell Challenge

Yes -- sadly this is the final challenge for the Cards in Envy blog.  In honor of the lady who first started the Cards in Envy Challenge blog, Denise, we are using this sketch from the first challenge.

Here is my card which is a Valentine's Card.

 

I used the balloon image from the Club Scrap Up, Up and Away! kit (retired).  So show you love for all the years that Cards in Envy has been challenging you.  Link up one last card on our blog and say goodbye.

Cards in Envy Love Me or Love My Pet Challenge

My apologies to Cards in Envy readers looking for my blog post!  I posted my card for Sandy to post on the Cards in Envy blog but failed to do the blog post on my blog.  I guess I am getting "Old-timers" disease LOL!  So here is my card for the Love Me or Love My Pet Challenge.

This Dog and Butterfly stamp from Impression Obsessions reminds me of my 16 year old Weimeraner.  He's a sleepy boy and if he was sitting outside some butterfly would certainly think he was a great place to rest.  I used Graphic 45 paper and sentiment.  Check out the other design team member and post a Love card or a Love my pet card for us to see on the Cards in Envy blog.  Be sure to read our annoucement at the top of the page about the very last challenge for the Cards in Envy challenge blog.

B is for Books

The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers challenge 126 is "B is for Books."  I have been following their challenge blog for awhile but this is the first time I decided to play along.  I used the Clup Scrap Ivy League kit to create my card.

I think this would be a great graduation card for someone!  You can join the challenge over at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers by clicking on the photo below.

Cards in Envy All About Numbers

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  Time for a new challenge on the Cards in Envy blog.  Create a card featuring numbers such as a birthday, at date, 2019, etc.  I'm celebrating the new year with my clock card.

I used the Tim Holtz Weathered Clock die.  Cutting it out of double stick tape and using Nuvo Guilding flakes in Radiant gold over the surface.  The hands are coated with black glitter. The words are from Elizabeth Craft Dies.

Head on over to the Cards in Envy blog and post your cards with numbers on them.  Be sure to check out what the Design Team came up with.

Cards in Envy Santa Baby

Time for a new challenge on the Cards in Envy blog.  Create a card that uses anything that makes you think of Santa.  Could be Santa's hat, belt, sleigh or Santa himself!  I decided to make a card with Santa.

This vintage Stampin'Up Santa worked well with the Tim Holtz Sizzix retro Merry Christmas die.  There's just a touch of bling on the Christmas tree and a rinestone on the i in Christmas!  Come on over to the Cards in Envy blog to see what the other design team members did and then link up your Santa cards!
