Double D - Lots of White

This is the second challenge for Double D this month of November 

and Darlene is our hostess.

 

She has the most beautiful pictures of white on white for your inspiration.  I did a card all in white with lots of texture. But when I took the picture it does not look all white.  That is because I used white ad cream card stock. I am currently trying to get rid of the cream as I prefer white.  Here goes anyway.

For this card, I used some dies that I have had for a long time, but used them in a different way. In the center panel is the Memory box Sheer Circle trimming and made a pinwheel sort of design.  The coffee cup is called Morning Cup. Along the side is the Dribble Dot die. The sentiment is Power Poppy called Short stacks. 

Go and see what the design team has for you HERE. 

                                          Wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving from me.

Double D Challenge - Christmas Joy

Christmas Joy is our theme for this first challenge in December.  How appropriate is that? 

But there is a twist, you must use the word JOY on your project. Diane, you are a tricky hostess. 

Here is the inspiration board for you. 

Lots of use of the word JOY. 

Well here is my story, I have a word die JOY, but it is in Flordia.  I know that I have it,  because when I looked in my bits box and saw it.  It was red card stock.  So I placed it on my desk and kept an eye on it. If I could not wait until traveling to Florida, I would use it. As you can imagine, I wanted to get this done and not have to worry about it, so I forged ahead with what I had.  

Here is the result

Too bad that you can't see the gloss on my JOY. I accidentally found this embossing powder in my stash and what a surprise for me. I will be taking this with me where ever I go. Seriously!

Of course, my friend Donna Phelan always does the inside and so I need to keep up with her. 

Supplies for this one are: Paper Trey Ink JOY die

The Greetery Botanicuts Pine Bough and Plaid background

Gina K Designs Festive Foliage for the sentiment.

Stampin Up embossing powder Glassey Glaze ( found this in my stash and I will not be without is again)

For anyone that enters this challenge, a random winner will be given this gift.

Seize the Birthday - Hobbies and Pastimes #228

This is our last challenge for this year of 2021. 

I think that the theme is a super one and Lindsey is the hostess. 

          I hope that you try this theme, but if not, just remember 

to make it a Birthday Theme. 

Here is my card. 

This is me!  Really, as I am the happiest in my craft room making cards. I have had this stamp for quite some time and unfortunately had not used it much. It is perfect for this challenge theme. 

The background is a stamp from Taylored expressions called A Life She Lived.  I used the jar of brushes to make my background. I sponged inks of Festives berries, Peeled Paint, and Salty Ocean over it, after heat embossing with white. The stamp is MFT Crafty Friends. 

I left the inside blank, but this will make a great Birthday card for one of my crafty friends. 

I have met so many kind and amazing crafty people in this business. How could I not be happy?

Happy Thanksgiving! 

Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy 2022!

Double D Challenge - Trees

Thanksgiving will be here soon, and this year we will be able to share it with family and friends. Gathering around the table is a good memory I have of past years. I think of cool weather and bonfires and walks in the woods where there are fall-colored leaves. Darlene must have been thinking along those lines when she chose this theme for this challenge.  It's a great mood board and I took it just a bit farther and added snow to my scene. 

Here is the card that I did.

Supplies for this card are: Memory Box dies, Deer in the Woods, Tall Birch, and 

Resting Birds.

I used GKD ink in Ocean Mist to ink the background and her Prismatic Glitter.  The bird is die cut from red foil card stock. It looks black in my photo and you can't really see the glitter. 

The is the prize for a random winner. 

Now head over to Double D to see what the team is up to.
