Anything Goes with Sisterhood of Stampers!

 Anything Goes with the Sisterhood of Stampers and SCRAPBOOK & CARDS MAGAZINE!

Hi all!

It’s time for another round of Sisterhood of Crafters!  This time I decided to share with you a card which was featured in the Fall/Winter issue of Scrapbook & Cards Today Magazine!


I was so lucky to have been asked to create 2 cards using a specific sketch.  One needed to be following the sketch as close as possible and the second could have a little flexibility.


This is the card I created to follow the sketch loosely.  I chose to use Picket Fences Polar Bear Christmas and Fancy Christmas Sentiments. The polar bears are the 3 main subjects and I built the stage using the various stamps from the set!  

If you want to see this in print, pick up the latest issue of Scrapbook and Cards Today, or get the online version here!  I’m on page 31.  Have a colorful day!!

Hi all!

It’s time for another Sisterhood of Crafters  Challenge! This time we  Challenge you to create a card with a Landscape.

It has been a crazy Two weeks from me, my mom Was in the ER two different times this last fortnight… Once with a broken foot and the other time with Covid. I have been playing Nurse made for her and my father. Thankfully, this stencil set from Altenew is super easy and super quick to make!


This stencil should be released soon by Altenew, so you get a sneak peek here.  It was part of their recent Comfort and Cozy event. It was also ink blended using five of their new colors soon to be released as well.  They are amazing!


After ink Blending the landscape, I trimmed the image into three pieces so I could get some dimension. The layers were popped up with foam adhesive. I framed the landscape with a die from Spellbinders called Nested Postage and Labels.  It’s a staple in my craft space.


Finally, I finished off the card with some vellum leaves From my stash, created with a vintage Papertrey Ink Set And a sentiment from the same Altenew event.

That’s it for me today! Be sure to visit the other design team members inspiration, and link yours on our blog. Have a colorful day!

AAA Cards challenge sketch!

 Hi all!

It’s been a crazy 2 weeks…my moms been was in the twice!  Once for a broken foot, and the other is still an anomaly.  I’ve been nursemaid and care taker for her and my dad and have spent many nights there as well.  Hubby has been a rockstar taking over my duties at home…he’s a great partner!


I was able to squeak out a card for the AAA Cards challenge using some left over die cuts I’ve had on my desk from Spellbinders.  


The circle die cuts are from PinkFresh slimline essentials set and they thankfully fit in my card front!


Some added sparkle for the berries and a sentiment from Pink & Main round out the card!  Be sure to visit our DT member for inspiration and share your card on our blog!  We hope to see you there…have a colorful day!
