Hello Crafty Friends :o) 

This is my post for Mix It Up , this month's optional challenge is Use Die Cuts. Make sure to visit the sister blogs for more inspiration. 

Like many of you, I have stamps and die-cuts that were purchased and never used.  Time to break them out of the hoarder box and use them.  The is a die cut set from TLC Designs called Aztec Sunshine Circle. The sets make it easy to create a simple card fast. 

Here is the inside.

stamps: Cas-ual Fridays: calm & gentle (sentiment)

 Hello Crafty Friends,

As summer comes to end, it's time for some Fall flowers.

This is from the 2019 Kit and Clowder coloring class (yes, I'm that behind with doing some of my classes, but I will get there....some day).  Alyce drew the image herself and teaching how to color it, which was done with prismacolor pencils.  Just add bees ... it's ready to go.

Here's the inside.

 Hello crafty friends :o)   Here's my Post for Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog, where we are kicking it Old School this month. We would to see projects that are old/vintage or even back to school.

I'm sure many of you have bought stamps and they are just sitting around ... just because they are cute.  I went old school with this record player stamp set from Unity called Skip a Beat.  I know LPs are coming around from some of the cool kids out there.  The sentiment is also included in this stamp set.

Here is the inside of this simple note card.

 Hello crafty friends :o)   Here's my post for MIUCB, this month's challenge is about stamping. 

Even though my son is in high school (his last year, because they are sending him to junior college 2 years early), I decided to make some thank you cards that held gift cards inside for his wonderful teachers. With the strange school year, he went to school for 3 hours in the afternoon with a couple of other students (2-3 other students were in his class). The die cut for the cards is from TLC Designs: Apple A Day  Looking through my stash of rubber stamps, I found the perfect stamp from Unity for the front of the cards.  To hold the gift cards in place, I used zips.

These turned out very cute.  Thanks for looking and reading :o)

stamps: Unity: Apple of My Eye

paper: Warehouse Cardstock: brown bag, cherry red

embellishment: twine

 Hello crafty freinds :o) This post is for Mix It Up Challenge Blog, I didn't inspiration challenge each month.  This month ... no stamping allowed.

This cute die cut set comes from TLC Designs called Cherry On Top.  I used the die cut to make a card, just by leaving some of the cardstock uncut at the fold line.  Then choose some cute paper for the front, very easy to create a cute and simple card.

Here is the inside.

 Hello crafty friends :o)  I'm here with my Mix it Up! Challenge Blog post.  Time to take out your die-cuts and make something fancy, with inlaid die cutting. 

I'm finally using some new die cuts from TLC Designs.  This is the Celebrate Frame Die, it's a 6 piece die set, so I got to use many of the pieces.  For this challenge, all those tiny pieces, made it a challenge itself.

 Hello crafty friends :o)   This is my post for Love to Craft! Challenge Blog, every month is Anything Goes.

Here is a little birthday tag, that is bright and cheery.  I used distressed ink for the background, scrap pieces of paper, texture paste, and embossing powder.   The stamps are from TLC Designs Celebrate Sentiments.

I did sew around the tag and added a fun tassel.
