I recently got this Tim Holtz coffee die cut as I love making coffee cards. I cut the layers and layered the coffee cup.
Next, I embossed the coffee emboss folder and sponged blue over it.
I found this numbered designer paper in my scrap drawer and tore the edges adding a bit of brown to the torn edges.
The card was finished with the banner and brad and the birthday sentiment.

I needed to color up this image and use it up from my desk and this challenge is perfect. I colored her up with copics then layered on a cute designer paper adding green to give the image some pop against the busy designer paper.

USEIT2022 - Bow
I don't often create Halloween cards but I just had to make this one. For the card base I used the colors in candy corn then created the shaped card base by cutting off one corner and using that as a template for the second corner.
Next, I cut a white card base, added the orange and yellow and then used the same cut off template to create the shape of the candy corn layer.
I then stamped the hat, colored with copics and layered finishing off with the bow from my tote of items I am trying to use up.

One of the great things about all the new die cuts out is we can use them to create fun cards and use up some of the mountain of scraps in our stash. This entire card was made using cardstock scraps and I just love how it came out.
I cut all the pieces then for the card base I sponged green and blue. Once everything was cut I added a bit of sponging to a few of the pieces and layered.
I finished it with the birthday sentiment to help build my birthday card stash.

I have a small bit of this very old heart vellum paper and thought it would work great in a window. I actually created 2 of this card, so I could send one to a friend as well as the teapot Tuesday destination station.
I cut the vellum and placed it under the window then overlaid it over the purple card stock.
I then die cut the butterflies in blue and sponged the edges purple.
The card was finished with the purple sentiment.

I have been going through my scraps recently and today's Free for All is a great challenge for me to use some pink designer paper scraps.

I love Piet Mondrian's work and it also gave me the opportunity to use up some more paper scraps. I die cut the many squares and rotated them for my card. I then heat embossed the sentiment and added a few candy dots.

I am working to get ahead of Christmas cards and that elf was perfect inspiration for me to use these new to me spellbinders dies. I cut each of them out then added some sponging to a few pieces.
Glued the layers and added some white gel highlights.
For the base I used a 12 x 12 scrapbook page that had many different Christmas sentiments. I thought cutting it down was perfect for these cards.
