Nature card

This card was originally created for a CAS challenge to feature a moon on the card. But, as so often happens, the card got away from me and was no longer CAS. I offer it today as just a submission to my gallery. TFL

The Happy Birthday with Mountain Air card was for my husbands birthday last week. I just love how it turned out! It's masculine, and since the mountains are his happy place, I found it to be quite fitting. I really love the serene mountain scene and the warm colors really bring it together.

Today's card is one of the hard cards we need to make, a sympathy card. Words really are never enough, but they are important to say to the people you care about. I don't think there is any better way to say those words from afar, than with a handmade card. I have used the Rooted in Nature stamp set from the 2018 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue.

Happy Friday evening. Earlier this week, I was scrolling through YouTube and watched a video about a card swap. One of the cards caught my eye and I immediately went to look up the crafter. She had a YouTube channel. I found the video where she made the card. The next evening, I grabbed a new pack of 8.5 x 11" card stock, cut the entire thing in half, cut the light blue layers and then cut 50 tops and 50 inserts. I used stamps and inks from Stampin' UP!. The sets I used were: Oceanfront, All…

Today's Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop theme is NATURE. This was a fun one since just about every stamp I own has something to do with nature, whether it be flowers, plants, animals, or scenery! I chose Honeybee Home because as a gardener I love pollinators, and things are really starting to bloom around here with the bees happily buzzing. I started by brushing So Saffron on the card base, then stamping the sprigs in So Saffron on a scrap of cardstock. After embossing with the…

I combined TLC318 and CAS112 as so many folks did this week. Both are terrific challenges and I enjoyed the process. Thank you, Ladies. I do think this card is just a little too fussy to be considered CAS; so, I may just made another card with a more CAS appeal. Thanks for looking.
