Beautiful Blossoms March 2025

Hello friends, Beautiful Blossoms has a new inspiration board
to hopefully entice you to join our challenge this month! 
I loved it as I used to have a vase exactly like the one in the photo.
You can however use any colors as long as you make your
focal point on your card BLOSSOMS.

I used for the first time a Sizzix Free Style Floral die
cut from white scrap paper and colored in with inks and various
alcohol markers from Copic, Altenew and Olo.

Once arranged my flowers were popped up for dimension.
I added a green vellum piece and a paper doily from my stash,
a few gems and a sentiment from The Ton Easy Expressions.

Come on over and see all the pretty florals from the design team at
Beautiful Blossoms!!

Cutie Pie~PI Day

 Hello friends, Colorful Options is having a fun extra challenge for the next week

Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th to commemorate the mathematical constant π (pi), which is approximately 3.14

Want to know more about PI Day, then go HERE
It is a fun read to learn more about it and how it is celebrated,

some by eating pies, others by throwing them, yikes, not me
I'd be on the eating end!

Here is our fun Pi~Pie mood board for inspiration!

I used my fun Concord & 9th Sweet As Pie dies
and made my very favorite pie, Lemon though I do prefer meringue
on my pies.  The paper I used is Lawn Fawns Fruit Salad.
The Sprig of mint and the lemon slice are from
Spellbinders Delicious Decorations .

Come on over and have some fun PI~Pie with us for PI Day!!

It's Your Birthday

 Hello friends, today at The  Sisterhood of Crafters our new
challenge theme is 'Shades of Green'.

This year I have vowed to use up some of my already
'spare parts' let alone some of my scraps, and things I have had around for a
VERY long time.  This puts a little hindrance on what I usually create
but it is also something that needs to be done.

That is where this card originates from...
The embossed background was already done and mounted on a card base,
so I added a scrap of designer paper and sentiment (Stampendous)
stamped on a die cut label along with greens from my already
created stash of flowers and greens.  I die cut a small bow to finish.

Our challenge at The Sisterhood is now a month long
challenge, so plenty of time for you to come and join us!

Lucky

 Hello friends, it's time for our challenge today at
Can You Handle The Pressure where it is all about using your
embossing folders.  Wet embossing is permitted by you MUST use an embossing folder.
We have an OPTIONAL twist of LUCKY/ST PATRICK"S
 but we are an anything goes with the use of the folder.

I used my Darice St Patrick's Shamrock folder on
coredinations Core Color paper (do they still make that?) and sanded it.
I couldn't find my sanding block so had to use a sand file so didn't
get as smooth a sand as I had wanted.  I die cut two shamrocks and layered
one on the other and a Tutti designs 'lucky' sentiment.

Hope to see YOU over at Can You Handle The Pressure!!

Good Luck

 Hello friends, at Simply Clean & Simple
our OPTIONAL theme is 
Shades Of Green.
We are an anything goes CAS challenge and our theme is always OPTIONAL!

Being in the design team I of course went with the option.
I die cut a Cheapo Dies shamrock but just used the negative of the cut
and placing a Doodlebug lots of luck paper underneath, easy peasy!

The good luck sentiment is also from Cheapo dies that I die cut
three times and stacked.

Come on over to the Simply Clean & Simple
challenge blog and have some CAS fun with us!

Word Power March 2025

 Hello friends, we are into March already and it excites me
as it means Spring is just around the corner and I am so ready!
It also brings us to a new monthly challenge at Word Power
where your 'words' take center stage!!

We are an anything goes challenge with no themes,
we just want to see those BIG words or sentiments!

For my card I did a simple St Patrick's Day card!
I used Doodlebug lot's of luck for my main paper,
a die cut circle with a Cheapo die word 'LUCKY'
that I also cut in black for a slight shadow!
I thought about adding some bling but decided to
keep it 'mailable' friendly!

Come on over and join us at Word Power,
it's a great place to show off those BIG words and/or sentiments!
