Inspired by…Rain!

Playing along with this week’s Inspired by Challenge with the photo “Rain!” 

As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to make a yellow chick with the new “Hey Honeycomb: Chick” die from The Greetery (and this Carta Bella paper)!

I also used the “Noted” dies, “Hey Honeycomb: Spring” sentiments, “Hey Honeycomb: Basics,” a little flower from one of their anniversary sets, and a sentiment from Papertrey Ink’s “Just Sentiments: Spring Blessings.” 

The honeycomb reveal delights every time..even if you are the one that made it 😂!

I cut a little acetate puddle with my Cricut Joy. I can’t stop looking at that cute 🐥!

Inspired by…Cupcakes

Playing along with the Inspired By Challenge…this time with a sweet photo and theme…

Cupcakes! I kept the colors and theme, but changed to a birthday cake using The Greetery’s “Take the Cake” set…

I also used “BotaniCuts: Strawberries,” and the “Take the Cake: Banner die ” and “Take the Cake: Stand die ” along with “Frosted Frames” to cut the border. My cake is blending a bit too much into the background, haha, but when I remembered this paper, this idea popped into my head!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Pastel Celebration

Playing along with the As You See It Challenge with a recipe for a pastel celebration…

I made an Easy Pop Up Shadow Box card using a tutorial by Stamptastic Designs on YouTube!

This card collapses to fit in a standard A2 envelope. I used The Greetery’s Bunny Hop, BotsniCuts: Carrots, Springtime, and Drifring Hills. My sentiment is heat embossed in gold, and also a panel on the back with Happy Easter as my celebration. 

Used lots of die cuts including the bunny and circular window. I used one tiny bow on the big carrot! Such a fun challenge.

Inspired by …Spirals

For this week’s Inspired by Challenge… this sweet spiral of hearts! 

I cut several heart wreaths from different papers with my Cricut Joy to make a layered wreath.

I used the provided sketch, as well. I added a sentiment from The Greetery’s “Opposites Attract.” 

The background is made with the “Herringbone Parquet” die, also from The Greetery.  Such a fun photo this week!

Inspired by…Boxes

I finally got to play along with the Inspired By Challenge, again, and this photo is so easy to be inspired by! 

I used The Greetery’s “Hey Cupcake” set…because are the boxes actually cakes?! 😋…guess I was hoping so….

I also used The Greetery’s “Winter Medley” dies, “ “Sweet & Fancy Labels,” “Window Dressing: Dotted Scallop” die, and the “Square Dance” die as a background inside. 

…and so.much.glitter!!!!!

Thanks for stopping by! 💕

Happy Solar Eclipse Day 2024!

Playing along with the As You See It Challenge with a perfectly balanced sketch just perfect for today’s solar eclipse! 

I used Waltzingmouse Stamps “L’il Buddies” and a background from Hero Arts (and lots of shimmer spray)!

Here near Rochester, NY, we were excited to be in the path of totality…but this was our view …😑

Clouds as far as the eye could see. To make it worse, yesterday there was not a cloud in the sky!!!!

But we still got to experience the total darkness, the spring peepers (frogs) chirping/croaking/peeping like crazy, lots of laughs, and a few fireworks at 3:20 PM! 

Ah….maybe we’ll go to Florida in 20 years for the next one! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Valentine Treats Sketch

A fun sketch for the As You See It Challenge…a “Heart Arc” sketch!

I used The Greetery’s “Sweet Tooth” stamps and dies, the “Piped Sentiments: Sweet” dies, and the “Frosted Frames” dies. 

So much fun to make! Thanks for stopping by!
