52 CCT October Technique Challenge

I am late posting this.  It should have gone live earlier today however yesterday I got home from work not feeling well.  I got most of the card done and could not finish.

This week at 52CCT ..it is all about fancy folds!  I was so happy to see the entire Design Team all created a different Fancy Fold!  

I used the Screen Divider Fold.  

I wish the punches had the name of the punch on them but they do not.  It has the company name Martha Stewart so I did a search and cannot find the name of the lever punch.  If anyone knows, please let me know!  I think I am going to start writing the name on the punches!  For the Legs of the fold, I used the Stampin' Up Paper Punch Decorative Label Shape #120907.  It has since retired.  

If you would like to give this a go, check out this post for directions...

Very easy to do and many ways to decorate.  I did a couple in the past...

 If you do not have the same label punch, I think something in your stash would work for the punch!

Do you have something different than what the Design Team used?  You actually have extra time to get it done as we are skipping next weekend.  It will be due by November 6th.

 Love to see it!  Come join us...

Boss's Day Card

(2nd Post today)

Yesterday, we took our boss Ralph and his wife Ellen, out to breakfast for boss's day.  

I made this card for him from a Craftsuprint.com kit.  If you want to check it out, search  #cup747177_2049.

It was a lot of cutting and gluing but I liked the results. I did not use everything they give you.  I think what I did use was more than enough!  

Some of the pieces were raised up higher by glueing them onto a strip of clear hard plastic. 

A few weeks ago, I had saved a blue mesh that my cantaloupe came in as it reminded me of fishing netting.  I remembered I had it so I added it on the card.

  I glued some to the back and stuffed it between the pieces.  

It folds pretty flat for mailing...just a little bit of bulk to it.

My message to him went on the back and I placed it in the envelope so he would see that first.

I love that the set comes with an envelope you can put together as it is not an A2 size.

Lots of cutting but it went together easy.

52 CCT October Theme Challenge

Many love when the colder weather sets in because they get to wear their sweaters with leggings and boots.   In Florida, we do not get as cold as some areas but it is the same here.  As soon as the temp drops, the sweaters come out and in some cases the leggings and boots as well.

Rudi feels the same!  She dug out her sweater..all fluffy white with gold designs throughout it.  It's perfect for the Christmas Holiday!

At 52CCT, it is Theme Challenge this week and the challenge is to use Winter Sweaters.  Come join us there!

Fall Anniversary and Birthday Cards

 I had a lot of fun making these three cards.  Fall is my favorite season.  I miss seeing all the color of the leaves since I live in Florida so I really enjoyed making these.  

These were already popped into the mail so hopefully they will be enjoyed soon!

Birthday Cards

 Just a quick post as I wanted to share a couple of Birthday cards I made recently.

This card had a mask along the edge so when I stamped, it would leave a white edge. I was so happy to find in my stash, some green string, ink and background paper that all matched.  The leaves were inked with a bit darker ink to stand out more.

The flower background, on the card below, was cut out twice and glued together to stand out more.  I saved the flower pieces to stuff back into the flowers with just one layer so it was down into the flower.  A little bit more work but I liked the look.

I have a few more to add but will leave that for another day!

Card Making Day 2020

 Last night I wanted to post my cards I made for Card Making Day but I had lost my mojo and went to bed early!

I got a couple of birthday cards done and Christmas cards.

I think it was a great day yesterday!

With the Christmas Cards, I used some embossing paste and stencils from Altenew to create backgrounds.  I got these done and while they were drying I worked on the birthday cards posted above.  The pine cones background was actually used two stencils.  I have one more background but I am saving that one for a Christmas card I will do later.

Enjoyed my day so much I may continue today!

Hope you had a great crafty Card Making day as well

52 CCT October Sketch Challenge

Good morning and welcome to another challenge at 52CCT.  This month, it will be Majda who will challenge us each week and as always..we start the challenges for the month with a Sketch.

Also, today is a very big day! 

 It is the 1st Saturday of October which means it is Card Making Day!  

Love this day!!

Look for at least one more post for me today that will show (hopefully) a lot of cards that I will make.

My card today uses just dies and does not have any stamping.

I flipped the sketch so the star was at the bottom of the card.  In place of the snowflakes I have pinecones.  In place of the star I have greenery and a ribbon.

Come join us at 52CCT & Card Making day and give this sketch a try!
