HMFMC #411 ATG or All Stitched Up


 Anything Goes 


with the option theme of


 All Stitched Up

 any kind of stitching,  real or fake

Hosted by our Talented Teamie - CarolG







Sew What (Vintage Stampabilities HMUR1065)





I had it in my head that I needed to use this stamp for the current House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge. It's a vintage HM stamp from 2008 but can still be found on Ebay and Etsy.  Doesn't poor little Monica Mouse look worried. Don't worry, Amanda will take care of it!

I love getting out my older wood mount stamps, I have so many and they need some love! They are all my babies you know! I cut out the card base with my Silhouette...loving the stitching around the image and the card base as well. I stenciled the greenery with green ink and finished the card off with a nice sentiment.

Yes, this was all about STITCHING!  I do hope you will get in to the spirit and join our current challenge.

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.
I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself. This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

Many thanks to our generous Sponsor/s for their continued support.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge Midway Inspiration-Easter


 Penny Black Saturday Challenge




March Midway Inspiration

2024 Challenge


Anything Goes

or the optional theme-


'Easter'




Cluck Cluck Cluck! 




I had fun making this card! I love this little chicken parade stamp. It's a classic for sure. I added the chicks to this slimline zigzag card base. I cut a mask for my image and then blended the background with oxide inks.  I stamped the sentiment and added the panel on with foam tape. This sentiment stamp set has some of the cutest sayings-a must have if you make a lot of birthday cards.

Granny Linda makes some Easter cards




A bit of Silhouette fun!  I had my BFF Linda from Alaska visit several weeks ago for a few days. I waited until these projects were received before posting. I'm trying to encourage her to dig out her Silhouette machine (or maybe even update to a new one??). She made these fun cut files for her grandbabies. I helped her with my machine-needed to reintroduce the crafting bug in her!  Links below.



She chose colors that matched her grandsons new baseball team colors and added his jersey number. She added the baseball and mitt on the side panels. The mitt was a different file of which we resized for the box card panels and also made into a much larger baseball mitt Easter basket to go with this card. The sky panel on the back was stenciled.


Spring Has Sprung-Silhouette sentiment

She didn't worry about anything too fancy for her tiny granddaughter, just wanted something she might think was pretty and also would love giving the birdie kisses. We made a white panel for the back so Granny could write a message. We both decided this might last about 10 minutes in her little hands. You know how babies are!!!




A sweet little Easter box for her Granddaughter. I love this bunny file. 

***

My friend and I had a fun day of crafting and I had fun reintroducing the Silhouette software to her.

Thanks for popping in today! 💕 Sue

House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge #410 ATG or Embossing




Anything Goes 

with the option theme of  
 
Embossing   Wet or Dry



Hosted by our Talented Teamie KARIN




Welcome to another House Mouse Monday Challenge!

I love this sweet little stamp! It is so versatile and could be used for an anniversary or missing you card as well. Included is the two above sentiments as well as Missing You sentiment stamp.

The first card I colored very similar to the package, and the second card I changed up a bit. I masked the image on both cards to add the background.

Both cards are colored with copics. I used Lawn Fawn stitched square die for the first card  as well as a Simon Says snow stencil and some embossing paste for the snow. Yes it is still snowing around here and very cold darn it!


For the second card I used the Leaf Stitched Frames by Penny Black. I LOVE this new to me die set. Again using my Lawn Fawn cloudy stencil and using some Hero Arts white embossing powder for the embossed sentiments

I used this cute little vintage Penny Black stamp for the Easter challenge theme. I've had this stamp forever and this is the first time she's been inked up. Yes, I'm a crazy stamp hoarder.

Add A Border


Hosted by our Talented Teamie Lols 









I colored this sweet image with hopes of a spring right around the corner, but alas I woke up to 3 more inches of snow! It was just 53 degrees a couple days ago. Crazy!!!

I colored this sweet little image with copics and used a PB zigzag stacker die to cut it out. For the sky I used the Cloudy Lawn Fawn stencil. I embossed the sentiment and added it to the image with foam dots. Ta-dahhhh  all done.

HMFMC #408 ATG or Valentine Pink/Red





Anything Goes 

with the option theme of 

Valentine or Pink/Red 
 











I used this cute Happy Birthday Cupcake easel card (Lori Whitlock) base cut with my Silhouette. I did add a .050 offset white border around the pink paper(for those of you who use a Silhouette.)I colored my image and fussy cut it out with a bit of a wider border so it would stand out a bit more.  The image and sentiment were added on with pop dots. I added a few random hearts and spots of bling to finish it off. The DP polka dot paper is from Bo Bunny and the bling from Picket Fence Studios. 

We had a half way decent day today with weather in the high 40's-almost 50 so I could go outside and get a nice picture. I can't wait for all of this snow to melt!!! 
We had snow, ice, snow, ice etc...sure made for a mess.  I think spring is around the corner!
