· 3 Comments

Welcome to our monthly Joy of Sets Tic Tac Toe Challenge blog!

And, just so you know, it’s May. May 2nd!!! Lol!

I hope is well with and your family. And, that you are finding the time and energy to create! Challenges can be a great starting point!

Here is our latest monthly challenge grid –

After some thought, I went with Birthday, Roses, Tag –

libbystamps, Stampin' Up!, Young at Heart, Beautiful Bouquet, Bouquet Bunch Dies, Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Best Dressed DSP, #keepstamping, JOSTTT, JOSTTT017

I have to laugh at the tag……I found the paper, the stamped image, but I was stumped on the ‘tag’ portion of the board.

So, I went through all my dies and came across this tiny sentiment and tiny tag and it was perfect!!! Scale and everything! The sentiment is from Beautiful Bouquet and the tag is from the coordinating Bouquet Bunch Dies. ‘Tag’ on the board complete!

I just loved creating this card. It filled me with such joy!

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – O Christmas Tree

· 14 Comments

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features cards with trees.

Or maybe trees used in a different way?? Lol!

libbystamps, Stampin' Up!, Winter Woods, In The Woods Dies, Layering Ovals Dies, Bouquet Bunch Dies, Winter Woods Bundle, Wrapped in Plaid 6x6 DSP, Timeless Label Punch, CCMC, Gnome

Yes. I jumped on the gnome craze!

The pattern papers are from the Wrapped in Plaid 6×6 Designer Series Paper.

I took a Gold Foil-Edge card and cut it in two. I layered that a Whisper White card base with the fold at the top. Then I layered on the pattern paper.

To created this little cutie I used two solid trees from the In The Woods Dies. One is cut in Whisper White, (the beard, upside down), the other in Cherry Cobbler (hat).

His body is an oval from the largest oval in the Layering Ovals Dies, with a bit trimmed off the bottom.

His nose was a hard one to come up with…….but, the Bouquet Bunch Dies had just the right shape! I think it is part of a tulip! 

He came together soo well! I just love him!!

The sentiment is from the coordinating stamp set, Winter Woods. You might have that bundle from last Christmas. The Timeless Label Punch was the right size for the sentiment as well!

I’d love to read your comments on this little fella! Sometimes you just have to get creative when you are given a theme!

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Mary Brown. I know they’ll have some great projects to inspire us!
