Joy

 WT835 - It's Sentimental: Feature a LARGE sentiment (no other stamped images)

CCC21JUN - Shimmer or shine

I recently got this JOY die cut right after Christmas on sale and just had to use it. I cut out the letters from Gold mirror paper then cut out the frame and layered it on blue cardstock. I will need to remember this card later in the year when I find I am getting behind in making my Christmas cards.

Holiday Sleding

 

CAS628 - Girl Power - It’s International Women’s Day USEIT2021 - Sledding girl image This sledding girl was in my stack of images to get colored and used up. My goal for 2021 is to get as many colored and used from a huge stack of images as I can. It will take a while but I am slowly coloring the images that are stamped off. I colored her with copics and die cut the image. I then sponged blue in the die cut and layered on dimensionals. I finished with sequins. Holiday Sledding

FS735 - This weeks incredible Featured Stamper Kim Tolbert aka Sociologystreet! Her gallery is full of amazing inspiration. I found this wonderful Card

USEIT2021 - Asian wrapping paper

My MIL gave me 2 books of Asian inspired wrapping paper and I am trying to finish putting together those cards to get it used up. The paper is beautiful but very thin.

I cut this blue paper leaving a large pink border as Kim left a large border on her card. I also used thinner ribbon and wrapped it 2 times rather than one. I swapped the brad from her card for the sentiment and popped it up on dimensionals.

I am kicking it in to high gear for the class of 2021 graduates. If you know anyone graduating in 2021, please consider brightening their day with a card. Seniors are really having a hard time this year because they have lost out on so much. My son's school has already cancelled prom and they did not have one last year. So if you have it in your heart consider brightening their day to let them know you care even if it is just a card.

USEIT2021 - Heartfelt Creations card kit

I am trying to use up the old Heartfelt Creations card kits in my stash and this one was perfect for today's sketch.

I layered the card once all the flowers were shaped.

CCC21APR - Animal

When I saw Dawn's card I knew I had this dog in the stack of images I wanted to get colored this year. I am working my way through the stack trying to color 2 a week and use at least 1 image. I also had this button in my tote needing to get used up.

I colored the image with copics then cut it out. I used some Christmas DP and added ribbon behind the image. I also had this die cut paw from another card sitting on my table needing a card and it was the perfect size for adding a Christmas wish.
