A Focus on B

Hello! This week's Free 4 All challenge at SCS, is to feature something that starts with the letter "B." My "Bs" are Bear, Boy, Bark (tree), Buddies, and Back. The central figures are Pooh Bear and his buddies!

For my project, I used a beautiful piece of paper from the Pooh Paper pack and added a sentiment from the Handstamped Pooh stamp set. I also stamped the back of the card with a cute image of Pooh crafting a card. The stamp on the back is also from the Handstamped Pooh stamp set.

Friendship & Holiday Cheer - IO November Release & Hop Day 2

***Affiliate links used when possible at no charge to you!***

Hello! Welcome to Day Two of the IOP Release & Hop! Before I head to winter, I have a sweet friendship card to share.  

I used the new Winter Wonderland paper pack for the background. The two-piece Hello Friend Die Set makes creating an elegant friendship card easy. Lastly, I added a few sprigs from the Winter Foliage Die Set.  

And now, back to winter!

The new Snowflake Frame adds something special to winter cardmaking.  I paired it with the Winter Time stamp set and Winter Snowflake Sayings.  

Last but not least, how about a cup of cheer?!

The new Cocoa Mug can be used all through the year.  I plan to use it for Valentine's with the sweet little hearts lining the cup. I paired the mug with Hot Chocolate Sayings and Basic Plaids paper.  I used the holly from the Santa Mug set released a few months ago.  I framed the card with a Large Frame and used my favorite sentiment banner: Rounded Rectangle Layer.

It's a Plaid Day - IO November Release & Hop

Hello, and welcome to the November IO Release! We have a great selection this month. There are two new paper packs, pretty word dies, critters, birthday celebrations, and winter!  

I had a little giggle making this one! I paired two of Nola's sets, Remember Your Why and A Little Behind. LOL. Both sets are fantastic. The gorgeous plaid paper is from the new Basic Plaids. I also used Stitched Slimline Layers and a Wacky Stitched Circle.  

So, it's taken me a couple of years to realize that I have fallen in love with bunny images. I just love them. And this one, paired with the behind sentiment, pretty much sums it up for me! Several times a month, I say, "I need one more day or week!"

I once again used A Little Behind and Basic Plaids. The dies are Stitched Slimline Layers and Plaid Tag.

It's all about plaids for me today, and here is one more card featuring the Basic Plaids Paper and Cocoa Bear! Bear Sayings pairs nicely with this adorable Cocoa Bear, and the sentiment fits beautifully on a Rounded Rectangle Layer.

Watercolor Pumpkins - IO November Product Focus

Hello everyone!  This month's IO Product Focus is Patterned Paper.  I think IO has some of the most beautiful patterned papers! They are not flimsy papers, and they have a slight sheen to them.  The scenes and patterns are gorgeous.  Sometimes, the scenes are just too pretty to cover up, so I just add a sentiment as I did with this card.  Here is what I used:

Watercolor Pumpkins (paper)

In & Out 7

Rounded Rectangle Layers

Tag with Label

Beautiful Patterned Paper - Product Focus

***Affiliate links are used at no charge to you, thanks so much!***

This week, the IO Team is focusing on Patterned Paper. IO has some gorgeous paper packs! All of the paper packs are luxurious with a slight sheen!

This mushroom paper from the Forest Floor paper pack is so pretty; I wanted to feature as much of it as possible. The banner (Stitched Tag) is cut from the same paper pack. The background was cut with the Crazy Stitched Set. You will see me use this layer quite often in my cardmaking. I love the size, which allows a nice base border around it. The die is wider than most layering dies, which keeps it from warping! I love it! The sentiment is from the So Mush stamp set.  For the sentiments, I used the Oval Labels and Stitched Tag #5.  I shortened the banner from Stitched Tag #5 by placing one end back in the die.
