Torn Paper Scenic Cards

I'm participating in a IG hop where we use the same product, technique or style three different ways. I'm using the Friendly Seagulls set from Stampin Up and a card sketch from Stick It Down.

I've wanted to try the torn paper look for awhile and when I saw the sketch, I was inspired to try it. I love how the cards turned out!

Each one is unique even though I used the same technique and products!

Check out the YT video for the process:

Hey there, I'm participating in another Rainbow Crush YT hop and yellow is the color for April. I am using products from 49 & Market and a dog sympathy stamp set by Our Daily Bread Designs to create the layout for the final moments of our dog's life.

It's been two years and it was still hard to get through.

Watch the process video on YT and be sure to check out the other participants:

This hop is hosted by Tara on her Facebook Group. Anyone is welcome to play along. This hop takes place on the 2nd Wednesday of the month!

Sizzix Sidekick Challenge Project Four

Project Four of my Sizzix Sidekick and Dies card challenge is this cute bows card. Act, it's two cards!

I used this die set from scrapbook.com. I purchased it I love the bows but figured there are some delicate bows that could be hard to cut with the Cricut.

Watch the YouTube process to see how these cards were made.

Sizzix Sidekick and Dies Challenge; Three

Hey there! Not only are these cards fulfilling my Sizzix Sidekick challenge but also the Create Three Ways IG challenge. The IG challenge is to take one item and create three different cards using it.

I used the Hello Puddles stamp and die set to make 3 cute Get Well cards:

FSJ is no longer in business but that doesn't mean you can't make a similar card. There is a process video so you can see how two of these were created. Here's a hint, I used stencils, vellum, and a circle punch.

Check it out:

And don't forget about the IG hop to see what others created! My IG is @3sons_and_astar

Freaky Fast Layout; Lisa Marie

I love a fun challenge and The Scraproom always posts a Freaky Fast challenge on their IG account. I'm sure they post on their blog as well, I just get it from IG. For February, they posted the following:

When I saw the four 4.25" squares, I instantly thought of a grid pattern and that's what I did. For some reason, I also decided to make this a monochromatic layout as well.

Here's the final layout:

I love the back base page because it makes these blue paper varieties pop and that's always a good thing!

What I used:

Black & white cardstock from CutCardStock

Patterned Papers from Pink Paisley

Cricut for the title

Plane stickers, enamel dots and Bag Tag die from Simple Stories

Puffy heart stickers from CTMH

Love to Craft Challenge; Die Cut Challenge

Today is March first and it's time to share my project for the Love to Craft Challenge Blog (LTCCB). I am also starting a new challenge that involves my Sizzix Sidekick and dies. I realized recently that my die collection is growing and there are many of them that I have not used yet.

This card uses a Sizzix flower set that I recently purchased from a thrift store for $1 and paper scraps that are on my desktop.

Watch the process video to see how it was created.

Make your own crafty project and link it to the LTCCB site by April 15th. These challenges last for six weeks!

And be sure to check back every Saturday in March to see more projects made with my Sizzix and dies.

Iron Crafter Challenge; Oldest Paper

Hi there! It's time for another Iron Crafter Challenge IG and YouTube hop.

Join a fun group of crafty peeps each month as we take on the Iron Crafter Challenge! Each month Tara from @thepapersnob will select a challenge ingredient to use on a layout. Quarterly, we will do a recipe challenge rather than a single ingredient. This hop goes live on the THIRD FRIDAY of the month. We will have a hop on YouTube and Instagram to show how we used the challenge ingredient(s) for the month.

The mystery challenge for February is to use the oldest paper in your stash.

Here's my layout:

I used patterned papers from BasicGrey. I don't know how old it is but I know it's OLD! Then I added some punched tags from the same collection. The addition of the enamel dots and colorful stickers really brighten it up!

Here is a playlist with ALL the videos of the participants:

Rainbow Crush YT Hop; Color Challenge Blue

I'm participating in a YT Hop with Paper Snob and it's a color challenge. This month's color is Blue. I used lots of blue papers (four patterned and one solid), I also used blue letters and blue cloud rub ons. I am actually proud of myself with the rub ons. Those have been in my stash for a long, long time!

I was able to get six photos on this layout without overcrowding the page and a cute rounded title.

Welcome to Rainbow Crush – a Social Media hop where we share projects that feature a color of the rainbow each month! This hop is hosted by Tara on her Facebook Group. Anyone is welcome to play along. This hop takes place on the 2nd Wednesday of the month!
