A place to showcase my crafts and talk about it...what's better than that? I hope to inspire and encourage others to create things for themselves, friends and family.
Hi there. I'm participating in an Instagram hop called Create It Three Ways. We basically create cards using the same products but three different ways.
I'm using an old Stampin Up! stamp set with fall images. Before I start stamping them to the card fronts, I'll create masks for them. This makes it easier to stack the images on top of each other without the other images showing.
Watch the process as I try to explain that.
I am coloring them three different ways using three different coloring medium.
Hi there and happy thankful Friday! It's another week to be thankful. This was a weird week since there was a holiday on Tuesday. I always thank veterans this week. I have lots of family members who are veterans including my hubby.
But that’s not what I'm thankful for this week. This week I'm thankful for granddaughter time since we're going to be joining 4H. I'm hoping it'll be a fun experience for my middle granddaughter and I.
They had activities for the kids which she loved. Of course we knew some people there and that always makes things a little easier.
We're also leaving to Disneyland today celebrate her sixth birthday. I'll report more on that next week!
Hi there, I'm here to share a fun Center Flip Fun Fold Card using the Cute Fall Crow SVG from Printable Cuttable Creatables. Even though this SVG has many pieces, it was easy to put together.
As always, I lay the pieces together first before I add adhesive. This makes things a little easier for me and less mistakes. But because of all the layers, there was a large gap between the larger pumpkin and the grass. I don't know if you can see it in this photo, but putting a piece of foam adhesive was too thick, so I improvised.
I cut a small strip of the orange cardstock scrap and then folded it in half. This is similar to two pieces of cardstock which is the exact thickness of the large pumpkin and the grass.
I tucked and adhered it between the gap and it filled it perfectly and gave the small pumpkin a place to rest.
I tried to take photos, but it's a little hard to capture. Once I did that, the SVG image was ready to be placed on the card flap.
Check out the YouTube process video to see how the card was assembled.
The card was made by using a standard A2 card base, 5.5x8.5 and scored at 4.25. I wanted the flap to be in the center, but I mistakenly cut 2.25” from the left side. Once I did that, I only cut 1” from the right side. (These cuts go from the bottom edge to the 4.25" score line.) Oops! But you know what? It worked out fine. In fact, I love that it’s not exactly in the center. I think it gives it more interest and character.
I cut one piece of patterned paper at 4x5.25 and adhered it to the inside of the card. The other pieces were cut at:
Cardstock 2x4; Patterned Paper 1 ⅞ x 3 ⅞ These are attached to the outside flap and where I adhered the Cute Crow image.
There’s also a 2x4 white piece on the inside, right behind the flap to put your greeting.

I try to participate in IG, blog and/or YouTube hops as much as possible. On IG, I have joined some amazing card makers in monthly National Holiday hops.
This month there is a holiday for sandwiches, happy hour and fast food to name a few.
Here are the cards I created.
Can you guess which card is for which holiday?

Hello and happy Thankful Friday. I'm thankful for girlfriends. I have a regularly scheduled breakfast the first Wednesday of every month with six girlfriends. We gathered this week and we always have so much fun. Lots of talking and sharing stories. I'm so thankful for this group of women!
I went to a scrapbook crop this past Saturday and was able to finish lots of layouts. That’s always a good feeling.
I'm still behind but I think we're always behind, right? I just posted a two page layout spread on YouTube using a sticker sheet by Echo Park along with a scrapbook kit that I made by gathering patterned papers and cardstock from my stash.
If you're like me, you have lots and lots of papers that will coordinate with sticker sheets or other embellishments. We just need to remind ourselves that we don't need all the things!
I used a sketch for this that I've used before which made this quick to put together. Although I did change the patterned paper a little. I also used my Cricut to create the title on the left. Using an assortment of fonts makes it super fun!
I love the non traditional color scheme too!
Be sure to watch the process video and leave a comment. I love reading them.
