Love is in the Air

Or at least for the new challenge at Shopping Our Stash. Welcome to Love Me Do! which for the next 13 days it will be all over the gallery so get your hearts, hugs, love notes out and make a Love themed card with your stash. 

I have made a mini slimline card with a favourite sheetload from January 2023 which is on rewind right now so check it out. I am so sorry for the terrible photo, I am not sure what gremlin is living inside my laptop but I literally fought the edit program and I lost the fight. That was just the last pitfall, the first was "where is my valentine paper pad?" I still am in the dark on that one, but in my loose papers I found 2 that co-ordinated and some cardstock that matched. Of course I just had to use the super cute gnome with the hearts all aver his hat popped him up, added a few "who knows how long I've had them" pearls  and a valentine sentiment. 

Finished the inside with an "elderly" sentiment. 

Thanks for stopping by today and stop by the SOS blog and check out what the rest of the design team have made.

 

S is for Snarky

 Welcome to the March challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers and I'm ready to SNARK Mother Nature I'm sure she is off her meds or need new ones, ya never know what kind of day you have until you step out the door and my tulips are confused. So I will let Edna announce the theme for you.

 

Don't you think we need one of these T-shirts? I would wear one.

Well dug out my Snarky Cats and used a favourite Sheetload of cards design from January 2023 for a mini slimline card, these make perfect money holders. The plaid patterned paper was a scrap that was on my desk, the blue layer a scrap from my paper file drawer. The image and both sentiments was a scrap of heavy 110 lb. cardstock. I used word bubble dies (stampin'up) to die cut the one sentiment.

Close up of the sentiment and cat.

No inside sentiment yet as I was running low on time and it's too late at night, I promise to finish it tomorrow as I have a bunch of cards without sentiments and I find it is much easier and faster to do it all at the same time as it is to go to sign a card and find you need to finish it...trust me I have been there and done that and will probably do it again. 

I am adding this to:

 Finally I have a card made for the Jingle Belles Rock!! I have tried to get to all the challenges since January 1st and there never seems to be enough time so today I MADE time and got one done. Now my last post I said I was green challenged and what did I make today another green card nothing like pushing my luck. 

This is a mini slimline card 3 1/4 X 6 1/4 and is the perfect size for putting money or a cheque in for a gift. The sketch is from a Sheetload of cards January 2023 which makes 8 cards but there are instructions for a single card. Patterned paper is Holly Jolly from American Crafts, the cute owl is a Stampendous mini clear stamp and was stamped and coloured last year so I just fussy cut him, flat attached his feet and popped the rest of him up. 

Finished the inside with a scrap of patterned paper and a vertical sentiment from Stampabilities.

I'm entering this in:

Time to Colour your World!!

 Hello friends I'm finally back to making cards for Shopping Our Stash challenges and what a challenge for my first one back.....a COLOUR challenge and as you know I'm terrible at colour challenges especially if there are too many choices but for this one I lucked out with on piece of 6 X 6 paper from Photoplay. The colour choices might be numerous but you only need to use at least 3 of them. 

And here is my offering for the challnege.

It's been a long time since I have made a mini slimline card, I used my favourite stamp company stamps "House Mouse Designs" I chose a sketch from Sheetload of Cards January 2023 I love this design I did change it to a horizontal card as the flowers trailed too far off the side. The patterned paper is from Photoplay both sides of the double sided paper was used,   it is only 7 months old but the gold birthday sticker is ancient. 

Finished the inside with some scraps of patterned paper and the perfect sentiment to match the slimline card. 

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you will pick at lest 3 colours and join in the fun.
