Thoughtful Thank You Blog Hop

Hello there!

I’m here today for my post for the DeNami Thoughtful Thank You Blog Hop. I’ll be the first to admit, I had so many ideas on what I wanted to do for this post, but didn’t know if any of them would come to light. With my health being shaky lately, my bouts of crafting have been on and off. I’m SO grateful that I was feeling good one day and was able to knock out this fun little project.

If you started from the beginning of the hop, you should be coming from Pattie Goldman’s blog. If this is your first stop and you would like to start from the beginning, be sure to head on over to the DeNami blog for the complete list of participants.

This is a lengthy post, so let’s jump right into it…..

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about Christmas. It’s hard to resist- my mom has already put up our Christmas tree and the stores are all decked out in pretty decorations. I will admit, mentally I’m not prepared for the crazy holiday season, but I DO love creating pretty holiday items.

Since my budget will be tight this year, I plan on making some of my Christmas presents. I know quite a few of my friends aren’t super crafty, but appreciate homemade items, so I thought I’d create some little gift sets. Since many people receive Christmas presents, I thought I’d create some mini thank you cards so they can hand them out.

I’ve had these tins forever and thought this was a great time to pull them out. They are super handy- I’ve used them to wrap up gift cards, package cards and now using them for Christmas presents. Yay for versatile items!

I pulled out many stamps on this project- I’ll post the complete supply list below. I always enjoy seeing which stamps work together and these blog hops are the perfect time to do so. :) Hopefully it inspires you to try out new stamp combinations, or maybe introduce you to new DeNami stamps.

I know this was a longer post, so I’ll wrap this up. Your next stop on the hop: Barbara Murphy! This gal is such a sweetheart and also really creative. I’m sure she’ll have a fabulous item to share with us today.

Be sure to leave comments on all of the blog hop stops for your highest chance of winning one of the gift certificates. With the DeNami website offering 10% off for the month of November, the gift certificates will go even further! :)

Enjoy the rest of the blog hop. Thanks for stopping by!

Poinsettia Blossoms

Happy Friday!

Some of you may be coming from the DeNami blog……welcome! I’m thrilled to have you join me on my personal blog for inspiration using the Poinsettia Vines set. This set is so pretty and can be used for everyday cards, in addition to Christmas cards.

Today I went the route of showing how to use this set on a thinking of you card. This little blossom is so pretty and I love how elegant and delicate it looks with pastel colors.

As you can see, I pulled out my Sew Easy tools again. Click here to view my photo tutorial I did a few months back. I cannot seem to stop sewing on my cards! I think it adds such a unique and delicate detailing.

Be sure to stop by the DeNami blog, along with the sweet Wendy Elliot’s blog for more inspiration using this pretty set. There’s a wide gambit of themes and colors- I know you’ll be inspired by them.

So glad you stopped by today. Talk with you all soon!

Halloween Wishes

Hello and Happy Halloween!

I’m so sad I haven’t been able to do much for this holiday this year. I had all sorts of plans to do fun pumpkins and some baking, but alas, the accident has gotten the better of me. Hopefully I’ll start feeling better health-wise so I can do some fun things for Thanksgiving! I have all sorts of ideas running through this brain of mine.

I have one last Halloween card to share with you, and it’s one of my favorites from this year. I just love this ghost image and when you pair it with some washi tape, he is even cuter! Have I mentioned how much I ♥ washi tape? It is my obsession right now. So many fun patterns, so many different uses!

If you are a DeNami fan, be sure to head on over to the DeNami blog for news on savings that are coming in the month of November.  You can stock up on your washi tape, stamps and even get supplies for your Christmas cards or gifts!

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. From me to you, I wish you and yours a safe Halloween with your family and friends.

I hope to see you tomorrow for my Thankful Thursday post!

Stomping By…..

Hello there!

Today I have another card to share with you featuring the current 10 Minute Craft Dash color palette. I remember back {not that long ago} when I was timid to pull out orange onto my cards. Now, I seem to sneak it on whenever I get a chance! Ah, the beauty of transitioning styles and going outside your comfort zone.

In case you haven’t seen the colors, here is what we are featuring in the challenge. If you’re new to the challenge, you can create any sort of crafty item, it just needs to be with these colors and take under 10 minutes to create. {Don’t worry, you can gather your supplies beforehand!} 

And now, here is take 2 of giving these colors a whirl. I couldn’t help but pull out the Elephant for this card. Yes, I realize I pulled him recently out on this card and this card, but he’s just so adorable!

Time it took to create: 7 minutes 3 seconds

There’s a great prize up for grabs and this challenge definitely gives you a little workout. I hope you’ll come join in on the fun and also spread the word. The more, the merrier! :)

You ladies are fab- thank you for all the sweet comments recently. They totally make my day and with my health not being great, they definitely bring smiles to my face.

See you all tomorrow for my Thankful Thursday post. Have a wonderful rest of your day!

Scallop Circle Flowers

Hi there, blog friends!

I thought I would pop in today with a card I made for one of my blog friends. This gal is an amazing card maker and I’ll admit, I always get intimidated when I send cards to my crafty friends. I tried to create something that fit her style and I think I was able to accomplish that.

You know how much I love my bright colors, but I have noticed that I’m starting to develop a love for pastel and muted colors as well. I suppose I’m really starting to enjoy the whole realm of colors….okay, maybe not neons, but maybe I’ll conquer those someday.

For my “flowers” I used the Scallop Circle, which I’ve done in the past. I wanted to change it up a little bit, so I punched out circles with patterned paper and then used a raised sticker to give it more dimension. I’ll be honest, this is my first time doing this, but I know it won’t be my last! It has such a great result and really makes the centers shine.

Do you have any fun plans this weekend? Last night I went to a concert, and I also have one tonight. Yay for fun weekends! I’m so thankful for friends who are willing to drive me so I can still enjoy these fun occasions.  :)

Talk with you all later…..
