Leftovers...!

Sometimes when I do a card class, there are people who don't come, or sometimes I cut too many or just different things happen that cause me to end up with a bunch of pre-cut supplies, that just collect. I really want to clean out my craft room and be able to work IN THERE (silly me...) so I pulled out these stacks of card supplies and threw some together!

So far this one is my favorite. You can see the original design HERE, which was really only September, haha. I did a pink forest this time.

Supplies:

Stamps: Peaceful Evergreens, Shepherd's Care

Ink: Calypso Coral, Flirty Flamingo, Pretty in Pink, Petal Pink

Paper: Calypso Coral, Basic White card stocks, Country Woods DP
Accessories: White Crinkled Ribbon (retired) 

Father's Day x2

So last week I pulled printed photos from the box intended for the albums for my husband and I. That is usually where I scrap Mother's Days and Father's Days. 

Today I have two different Father's Day's scrapped, ha. Very simple, got it done, kind of pages. I used the same pack of DP, but they won't be next to each other in the albums so it doesn't matter in the slightest. haha!  

Supplies:

Stamps: Alphabest, Well Said - both retired

Ink: Misty Moonlight, Boho Blue

Paper: Basic White card stock, Parker's Patterns DP (retired)
Accessories: 2023-25 In Color Dots (retired)

Supplies:

Stamps: Beside Me

Ink: Pebbled Path

Paper: Soft Seafoam card stock, Parker's Patterns DP (retired)

Halloween, long ago.

I haven't shared scrapping in over a month, but that doesn't mean I haven't been scrapping. Last week I got a lot of pages made- both digi and traditional. I'll save the Christmas themed pages for December because I usually don't get a lot of crafty time in December, ha.
But for today, here's a couple almost identical pages I made last week, of an unexpected Halloween pic of each of my now-big kiddos. 

Supplies:

Paper: Basic Black, Halloween Night Specialty DP (2016?)

Accessories: Neutrals Candy Dots (long retired)
Journaling Font: Artistamp Medium

Mossy Pines!

Today I have the same Pine card as last time, but this one is in Mossy Meadow! Again, taking my color choice from this awesome DP. I might need a second pack.......! 

The photos make the Mossy Meadow card stock and ink look almost black, but it really isn't. And shiny gold is difficult to photograph... 

Supplies: 

Stamps: Peaceful Evergreens, Oct 2024 Paper Pumpkin

Ink: Mossy Meadow

Paper: Season of Elegance DP, Mossy Meadow & Basic White card stocks

Accessories: Iridescent Foil Gems

Dear Santa

Today's card is cute... but maybe not my favorite... The problem is I was designing for my card class, and the brown and yellow pencils are already being used. That meant I was limited to colors aside from those. It worked, it's cute, just not exactly what I was picturing today, lol. 

Today I used the latest sketch from Just Add Ink. I will definitely play with this some more! (the sketch, and the stamp set!)

Supplies:

Stamps: Dear Santa

Ink: Stazon Black

Paper: Garden Green & Basic White card stock, A Little Bit Festive DP

Accessories: Transparent Adhesive-Backed Dots, Watercolor Pencils, Blender Pens

Pines in Peacock!

Happy Monday! Inching ever closer to the best holidays!
This time I used Pretty Peacock for these gorgeous pine trees. I wanted to make the DP work with it, and that determined my colors. However, I wasn't sure which way I wanted to use the card base and card front, so I tried both! 

Supplies: 

Stamps: Peaceful Evergreens, Oct 2024 Paper Pumpkin

Ink: Pretty Peacock

Paper: Season of Elegance DP, Pretty Peacock & Basic White card stocks

Accessories: Iridescent Foil Gems

And a close up of each: 

Pretty Paper

Happy Friday! I think we made it...!
Today I have another card for my upcoming class. This is such a quick card, you could crank out dozens with one pack of DP (actually, if you used this exact layout, you could make 8 cards with each sheet of 12x12 DP. That's a lot!) I like this design because it gives a chance to let the DP shine without covering the whole card. Little paper, little embellishment and a greeting and you're set! 

So first, the one we'll make at my class: 

Then another variation because I liked the paper:

Supplies:

Stamps: Oct 2024 Paper Pumpkin

Ink: Poppy Parade

Paper: Sentimental Christmas DP, Poppy Parade & Basic White card stocks

Accessories: Iridescent Striped Trim, Dimensionals

Also, a tip on how I attached the ribbon in the middle like that, ha:

Scotch Tape is my favorite way to add ribbon to anything! 

Green Trees!

Today I have a card that is a remake of THIS one I made in August, but using the latest color challenge from CAS Colours & Sketches. Again, quick and cute- my favorite kind! 

Supplies:

Stamps: Encircled In Nature

Ink: Shy Shamrock, Shaded Spruce, Real Red

Paper: Country Woods DP, Basic White & Real Red card stock

Accessories: 2024-26 In Color Resin Dots 

Pines in Gray!

Today has a fun challenge, and I love the result. I used the Inspire.Create.Challenge to use many shades of gray. I have five that are varying kinds of "gray", plus black, ha.  

Supplies:

Stamps: Peaceful Evergreens, Shepherd's Care

Ink: Gray Granite, Basic Gray, Pebbled Path, Smoky Slate, Basic Beige

Desert Shepherd

Christmas Shepherd

Good morning! I think today I have my first Christmas card this year! I ordered this set several weeks ago and haven't gotten to use it til now. There are other sets I want, but I snagged this one first. It's so quick and simple to make a beautiful card with!

Once again I used a color challenge from Splitcoaststampers.com.

Trick or Treat!

A bonus weekend post for you! 

This time I combined the SUO Challenge for "tricks or treats" with the sketch from Hand Stamped Sentiments.
I pulled out a long retired greeting set because its just SO perfect, lol. Annnd I think this card is a bit too busy for me, lol, which is why I added the layer of Pecan Pie. But that's okay, I'm going to send it to someone and then it doesn't matter what I think. hahaha!
