Pumpkin Shelf Sitter

Good morning,
I know I've not posted much lately. Just had a lot going on and trying to reset my priorities. I spend a lot of time o the computer at work so when I get home I don't even want to turn my laptop on! The Holidays have also brought its own share of challenges but I have a bit of time off so I'm trying to get caught up on some posting and stuff.

I bought this wood product pumpkin from The Dollar Tree with the intention of using some fun pumpkin design paper I had to give it a makeover. Very happy with the way it turned out!


Supplies:
  • Design paper unknown
  • Pumpkin Shelf Sitter from The Dollar Tree
  • Mod Podge, Matte Finish
  • Twine was attached to pumpkin when purchased
Thanks for Stopping By,
Cara

More than one die cut … Challenge 319

Good morning,
Today I am sharing my card for the Cut it Up Challenge. You can find the challenge HERE.

For these challenges, a die-cut is anything made with a manual or an electronic die-cutting machine. (Spellbinders, Cricut, MFT dies, Silhouette, etc.). Store bought die-cuts are also acceptable. Please note that handheld punches and/or paper-piecing’s DO NOT count as a die-cut

Our prompt for this challenge is to create a card/project using more than one die cut. I used 3 for my card.

I just love the design paper I used for this card. It’s perfect for masculine cards and I’ve almost used it all up. So I’m kinda sad about that!

 
I used a sketch I found on Pinterest. There was no tag so I have no clue who made it. But it is one of my favorites to use.


Supplies: 5 x 7 card
  • Cardstock from The Paper Studio (base)
  • Design paper from My Mind’s Eye (Bohemia)
  • Dies: Close to My Heart (Looped Circle), Creative Craft Products (Wiry Banner & Borders) & 
  • Sizzix (Classic Circles)
  • Distress Stickles from Ranger
  • Ink from Stampin Up
  • Stamps from Close to My Heart (You mean the World to me)
Thanks for stopping and remember to stop by the challenge to check out all the DT projects and play along!

Sparkle and/or Shine … Challenge 318

Good morning,

Today I am sharing my card for the Cut it Up Challenge. You can find the challenge HERE.

For these challenges, a die-cut is anything made with a manual or an electronic die-cutting machine. (Spellbinders, Cricut, MFT dies, Silhouette, etc.). Store bought die-cuts are also acceptable. Please note that handheld punches and/or paper-piecing’s DO NOT count as a die-cut

Our prompt for this challenge is to create a card/project with Sparkle and/or Shine

This worked perfectly for me as I needed a birthday card for a sweet little girl who loves all things Unicorn,

I’ve had this whimiscal Unicorn die from Jane Davenport for a while and was so happy to be able to use it for her card.

I did have a hard time getting the sparkle from the unicorn to show up in the photo but it is a lovely soft shimmer.

I used the same cardstock from the cloud and the little star scattered around.


Supplies: 5 x 7 card
  • Cardstock from the Paper Studio (base)
  • Design Paper from The Paper Studio (Watercolor)
  • Dies from Jane Davenport (Happy Unicorn)
