Happy B-day Yupo -

Hello and Happy Monday Crafty Friends!

Did you have a nice weekend? Mine was boring! LOL

I actually didn't do much which was okay after the long week

I had... I made some phone calls to my family (checking on them)

and watched videos on youtube... I kept saying to myself...

Girl, make something crafty... 

and then I would be like Nah forget about it! LOL

I still have projects done I haven't shared so

maybe I'll get around to creating again... Who knows...

for now, I'll just share what I've already made - 

I totally LOVE the colors on this card - 

I used an assortment of Alcohol Inks on some Yupo paper 

Cardstock - Neenah Solar White, Yupo, DCWV Shimmer green

Banner Die - MFT

Stitched Square Die - Lawn Fawn

Cosmo Flower Frame Die - SSS

Sentiment - Polka DOt Orchard (Spread Your Wings)

Have a Happy and Safe Day!

Amazing Person....

Hello & Happy FRIDAY Everyone!

Or should I say... HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

Either way, it's a 3 day weekend for me, which

means I'm working at the other house this weekend! 

I left last night, so I could be there today...

It means I have to return early since I didn't

work today... which stinks but I have nobody

to do my job, so I do what I can! (Wink Wink)

Anywho... As I told you last week, I don't really

do anything for Valentine's Day, usually, I make a

Shrimp & Lobster dinner for us just because I can, but

otherwise, it's just another day in my book! And since I'm

not actually home, I probably just order a pizza! hahaha

I know I make lots of foiled cards so I thought today

I would change it up for you - 

Besides having a bunch of foiled cards -

 I have several Yupo Alcohol Ink designs done that need to

be placed on cards, so I made these 2fer cards!

Cardstock - Neenah Solar White, Yupo, DCWV Shimmer

Assorted Lucy's Cards Gems, Fun Foam

Stitched Rectangle frame dies - MCT

Crazy Stitched Die - Impression Obsession

I'm wishing you all a FABULOUS 

Valentine's Day & Weekend!!

Heart Happy...

Hello Everyone! Happy back to work day! LOL

I got back yesterday evening and we didn't get as

much accomplished as we would have liked.

Plus we ran into a few snags involving "other"

family members -  I don't want to get into

the details but they don't look good for my sister at this point

of placing her tiny home over by where we're moving -

honestly, I'm not understanding what the issues are...

My husband's parents are okay with it but there are

"other" powers that be which are involved and we're trying

to find a fair reasonable solution -  It's a headache & mess

Anywho - I have a happy card to share with you 

because I need a little happy right now!

I made this using an alcohol inked background I had

sitting here on my desk along with a "Smile" die

I added a black & white embossed strip I created awhile ago

 and a black strip with a sweet sentiment embossed in white -

I used extra pieces of the alcohol paper and a tiny heart punch 

to add just a little extra love on my card! 

It turned out so sweet! I shared the leftover Smile word pieces with you

last week on THIS CARD.

Have a Beautiful Day!

Snow Elegance....

Happy Wednesday Crafty Peeps!

Today I thought I would play along with

a challenge over at the 

Cut it Up Challenge Blog

The Challenge is #191-SNOW MUCH FUN

I created my background with Alcohol Inks

and I'm using a pretty Snowflake Block Die from SSS

My etched background is from Lawn Fawn called Windy Backdrop

and I added a couple of clear gems along with

adding a season's greetings sentiment so I can

 add it to my Christmas stash for 2020

Have a Fabulous Day!

Lotus frame rainbows...

Happy, Happy Wednesday Everyone!

School is back in session and I'm busier

than ever! We got more students this year

which is great for the school but also hard for me -

The more kids, the more messes! LOL

I guess that just means Job Security!!! Wahoo!

They also hired my son Hunter! YAY!! He's a huge

help and I'm so grateful that he's working with me!

Now, onto today's cards! Cards? Does

that mean you made 2 cards Theresa??

Why, Yes! Yes, it does!! Using that beautiful

Rainbow design I shared last Thursday!! YAY!!

OMGOSH! I used that BEAUTIFUL Diagonal Stitched Cover plate die!! (SWOON)

Seriously I love it! It adds so much with little effort!

So I took what I had left of the rainbow designed yupo paper

and cut it in 1/2 to work with this lovely SSS Lotus Frame die

The Lotus frame die was cut out 6 times (3 for each card) layered

on top of each other for added dimension - 

The hint of black cardstock behind the rainbow/frame

really makes the colors POP!

Sentiments stamps are from MFT (More Essential Sentiments)

& Dreamerland Crafts (Birthday Sentiments 2)

The Slanted banner die is from MFT

 I've got some Doodlebug Sprinkles on both cards

And they are both popped up with Fun Foam

I'm entering my cards into the Pedals for The Pittman's Linky Party

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a Fantastic Day!!

Rainbow Yupo Birthday

Hello and Happy Thursday everyone!

A while ago I watched a Jennifer McGuire

video on the Alcohol pearl inks - Which I own of course 😉

She was showing different ways to color on yupo paper

So, of course, I tried out a bunch of crazy designs -

I'm sure you can imagine that I have a stack sitting here 

on my desk that I need to get used up on some cards

So this last week I went ahead and used only

1 of the sheets I designed! What only 1?

What is wrong with you Theresa? Don't know?

I promise I'll use them! 😊

Anywho - the one sheet I did use I got to make

3 cards out of it! WHAT? 3 cards! Why yes I did!

Here's the first card I made with my

alcohol pearl inks in a rainbow design

It looks so cool and shimmery in real life! 

You guys know I'm heading back to work

which means I need Birthday cards for the Staff -

I also broke my promise of trying not to buy more crafting supplies -

I DID purchase that AMAZING die that I'm in LOVE WITH! Could

you really be in love with a die? Well... I AM!!! I've made 4 cards using this

awesome die! (At least you know I'm getting my monies worth!) 😂😂

Here is the inside of course... I even sliced a piece of the yupo paper 

to add inside the card - Again - getting my monies worth! YESS!!! 😁

Hello Fall!

Hello & Happy Tuesday Everyone!

It's Challenge Day over at Die Cuttin Divas!

The Theme this week is FALL COLORS!!!

-- Here's what I created to inspire you --

I simply LOVE how my card turned out!!! 

You guys know I LOVE FALL...

Even though it's still warm here where I live, It's still

my favorite season - I used my Alcohol Inks to create

the beautiful colored background -

I Die Cut a Birch Tree circle from some Shimmer Copper

colored cardstock (DCWV) 

then used a Stitched Rectangle frame die around it - 

Then I adhered the alcohol Background to the back of the copper paper -

 Then I adhered a piece of Tan Fun Foam to that and 

attached it to a Cream Colored Cardstock base - 

I die cut the word "hello" 3x's in a shimmery

rust colored Cardstock and added it to the one corner - 

Then I die cut a couple of stitched leaves with some of the

alcohol ink fall colored design I made - I attached it below the

birch circle then added a button and made a bow out of some 

Jute twine and adhered it on top!

Cardstock - Recollections, DCWV Shimmer, Yupo

Assorted Ranger Alcohol Inks

Stitched Rectangle Frame Die - My Creative Time

Stitched Leaves Dies - Lawn Fawn

"Hello" Word Die - My Favorite Things (cut out 3x's)

Jute Twine - Papertrey Ink

Button - My Stash

Birch Tree Circle Die
