| F4A619 - It's a Girl Thing USEIT2021 - Bow I needed to use up a stack of these bows from my tote and today's Free for All is perfect for using them. I actually cut several cards out all the same layout and stamped birthday, thank you and thinking of you sentiments then layered the cards to use up these bows. Birthday Girl |
| CAS670 - CASE a CAS fav from 2021-- your own or someone elseâe(TM)s - I chose to case IC791 Banner Valentines Day by nwilliams6 at Splitcoaststampers card. I loved all the hearts Nancy put on the card and used candy hearts for my background. Once the hearts were stamped I colored them in pastels then stamped the sentiment and popped it up on dimensionals finishing off with the bow. Happy Valentine's Day |
| FS777 - today's incredibly talented Featured Stamper is Rosemary aka rcuccia. Her gallery is amazing and full of so many wonderful creations. I found Shades of Pink Valentine by rcuccia at Splitcoaststampers beauty. Her hearts reminded me of the old candy hearts and I just recently got this new candy heart stamp. I white heat embossed it on red card stock. Next I stamped the plaid strip and finished off with the sentiment. Hugs, Kisses and Valentine Wishes |
DEC21VSNF - Lassie (add a dog to your cards)
I am trying to use up a large book of dog images and they are perfect for my donations every month. The inspiration was great to inspire me to grab some more of the images for some quick congratulations cards.
I cut the layers, stamped the sentiments and punched the ovals.
This card was so much fun to make. I did cut the ornament in white and then the decorative part in red and layered on dimensionals. I stamped and die cut the flowers and pine cones and sponged the color. Next I shaped the pieces and layered. Finished the flowers with stickles and prills and added pearls to the ornament.
For my card base I used a dotted die cut with paw prints. I then cut the layers and rather than the circle I used a heart. I also turned the card layout.
Once the pieces were layered, I added Nuvo Drops to the black parts of the heart and paw print.

F4A617 - Snow
CCC21DEC - Anything Goes
I have a few neighbors that I hand deliver Christmas cards and those are my favorite to give because I can add large embellishments to get them out of my tote of items. This snowman was also in my stack of images needing colored and used up.
I colored the snowman, used some snow paper to back the image and layered. I finished off the card with this holly embellishment from my tote of items I am trying to use up.
| IC837 - Emerlyn Closet where I found this inspiration HERE. CCC21DEC - Anything Goes I created this using my Heartfelt Creations poinsettia stamping in blue then sponging on additional color on the ends. Die cut the layers of the flower, shaped and layered. Added a couple of leaves and finished with prills and stickles. The base is an old SU poinsettia emboss folder and the sentiment is also from Heartfelt Creations. Blue Poinsettia |
My son is enjoying playing pool at college and actually did a really cool move that my brother taught him (I wish I knew enough about pool to know the move). Anyway, he was so excited he pulled it off that he actually called my brother to thank him for showing him the move.
My MIL asked me for a few cards for next year and I thought this was perfect for a birthday card for my son from her using my all-time favorite stamp from DRS Designs.
I stamped the image and sentiment, colored with copics and cut the layers.
USEIT2021 - Lamb Button
When I think of Family I think of a new baby. This challenge is perfect for a new baby card. I die cut the onsie, cut the layers, added the ribbon and finished with this cute lamb button from my tote of items needing used up.

This sweet image came with the hat and I thought he really needed colored and used for a Christmas card this year. Once colored I found I had a few rub ons in my tote that needed used so I added a rub on and a few punched snowflakes.

This cute image was in my stack of images that was already stamped off and needed colored. Once colored I did an out of the box cutting and added the sentiment.
| FS775 - This week's incredibly talented Featured Stamper is embee46. She has some amazing cards to share to inspire. I found This card CAS661 Peace N Love by embee46 at Splitcoaststampers when it was loaded for a CAS challenge and fell in love. I used a large red heart and rather than using the sentiment on the heart I put paw prints. I then stamped the sentiment on the base and layered the card. Gone From... |
I created a center fold card and cut 2 layers of designer paper. I then used a belly band and added the oval with the die cut deer. Finished the deer off with a red gem.
This cute SKATING SNOWMAN - 332H was fun to color up in pink. I added a red scarf, trimmed hat, buttons and skates. I added the 1 LINE MERRY CHRISTMAS - 364B sentiment but honestly, I think this could be a Valentine snowman.
Once colored with copics I finished with some punched glittery silver snowflakes.
Pink Snowman
| FS774 - This week's incredibly talented Featured Stamper is Amy aka askloeblen. I found this wonderful Religious Encouragement by askloeblen at Splitcoaststampers. I liked the way she added the border stamps to the bottom of the card and added the sentiment to the top focal. CCC21DEC - Anything Goes I used DP for the bottom rather than stamps and created a design with cutting apart the pieces. I then stamped the sentiment and popped it up on dimensionals. I finished the card with some punched snowflakes. Christmas Paper |
For my card I stamped the Small Nativity Scene on craft card stock and colored with pencils. I then tore the edge and sponged the edge with brown ink.
For the blue base I heat embossed the Jesus is the Reason Greeting in white and then added some additional stars using a white gel pen.
I just love this new PLAID FIR TREE - 971H.
I stamped the tree twice in a bright pink and once in a subtle pink and fussy cut them. For the base layer I added a texture to mimic the plaid and match the bright pink. I then stamped the sentiment in the bright pink and layered the trees and sentiment using dimensionals.
