Thank you card

Hi everyone.
Just a short post today to show you a thank you card that I will enter in Emma's throwback Thursday Challenge.  Black, Green, Orange and Purple. Card must also be cricutless.  Those colors lend themselves obviously to Halloween, but I don't need many Halloween cards.  I still have some left from last year's stash.  On the other hand Thank you cards are always in demand.  This beautiful purple paper is a scrap from DCWF Colorful Life.  The rest is recollections or stash.
Hope you like it.

Thanks
See you tomorrow with another video.  (Battery is charging)...........play nice.

Cricut Wild Card and Flowersoft Birthday

Good Friday afternoon everyone
Today's card is for the Throwback Thursday Challenge over at My Creative Time. The challenge is to use Wild Card or Just Because Cricut Cart.  Include some embossing. I used the Wild card cartridge along with some stamping and Flowersoft.  I haven't used my Flowersoft since last Christmas and it was kinda fun.  I also promised on the video to share a couple of pictures of my stamp storage, so they are included at the end of the post.  Hope you like the card.  The directions are on the video.

I think it came out super cute.


Here are the pictures of my stamp storage.  I am using the double closet in the quest room/craft room.  My husband made me the shelves.  They only extend out 6 inches so company can still use the closed rod for hanging.  As this is our second guest room equipped with a Murphy bed, it is not used very often.  Pretty cool huh?

Guess that's all for now.  See you later...........play nice

Cricutless Easter Card-Throwback Thursday Challenge

Hi everyone,
Well I locked up the cricut and dug out my stamps to make a cricutless Easter card.  I am entering this in Emma's throwback Thursday Challenge.  Actually kind of fun to stamp and color for a change.
See all the challenge entries Here.

St. Patricks card and Challenge

Oh my oh my oh my................Did you ever have one of "those" crafting days?  Well let me tell you about mine.  I wanted to enter the Throwback Thursday Challenge with a St. Patrick's Day card using the PDDU cart for the cut.  I also wanted to make a standout frame card.  Well the cut was fine.  I found that I didn't have any double-sided paper appropriate for my card so I taped two coordinating piece together before I cut my square.  OK so far right?  Well everything went along fine until I decided to glitter my shamrock.  I thought "I will use my glue pad to get good coverage" HA!  First the shamrock got stuck to the pad, and I had to peel it off.  Next because I peeled it off, my hands were all sticky.  (Did I mention that I hate sticky?) Ok so now everything I touch is getting sticky...glue pen, tweezers, ATG STICKY!!!!.  I put the glitter into a container for easier application and now the container and spoon are............you guessed it...Sticky.  Now my hands are not only sticky but have green glitter stuck to them.  I can't get the shamrock off my fingers to apply to the card and my craft mat is covered with STICKY green glitter.  Thank goodness the doorbell rang and friends arrived cause I was either going to cry or run hysterically through the neighborhood.  I shut off the light and walked away.  We had a good visit after I spent 10 minutes getting all the sticky green glitter from my hands.  Did you know fingernail polish remover works well for this?  So this morning I cleaned up my mess and took a photo for you all.  I am not overly thrilled with the outcome but after all that I was determined to put it up on the blog.  Here it is.

This is a 5  1/2 square card

All layers are cut 1/8 inch smaller so I just have a tiny boarder.

The frame is made with a 4 1/4 square.

I did the inside frame first and just increased the layers by 1/8 inch

Shamrock cut at 2 inches.

Glitter by Martha Stewart.

I inked all the edges with Tim Holtz peeled paint.

Honestly, I think it looks better in person than in the picture, but so be it.  Today is another day and I am going to Michaels  50% off coupon.  Yeh!  Hope you like it.

See Ya later.......................play nice
