Hope You Can Cling To-Day #6

The title of today's challenge is Three Dies/Punches and a Sentiment. 

The title explains it all.  We are to use three or more dies/punches or an electric cutting machine and a sentiment to make a card. 

I used my Cricut Machine to cut most of the images and sentiment.  The sentiment is from Walk in My Garden.  Everything else is from Straight from the nest except the clouds...I free hand cut those.  Have a great day!

Hope You Can Cling To-Day#5

Today's challenge was to create a card to depict courage. 

My sentiment is "Listen to your heart."  I used Stampers Anonymous Urban Grunge from Tim Holtz collection stamp set.  The flower is from PTI.  The leaf punch is from McGill.
It's Fri. and a three and a half day weekend!  WHOOOHOOO!

Hope You Can Cling To- Day#3

Today's HYCCT Challenge is to use 5 individual words on a card. 

I used Cricut's Opposites Attract Cartridge. 

I cut tiny pieces of dimensional foam to make the words "joy" and "believe" pop up. 

Hoedown #85-Bailey Devil

Oh, Bailey Dog is too cute!  I've always said they {kids, dog} are cute for a reason....

This week's Hambo Hoedown Challenge is to use sparkle. 

I used glitter glue for Bailey's Devil costume.  This week's image is "Bailey Devil" digital image from Hambo Stamps. 

Enjoy your week!

Hope You Can Cling To-Day #2

First of all Happy Birthday to my much OLDER brother!  :)

For today's challenge we were to make a pretty wrapping for a cupcake.  Since the purpose of this event is to send cards.  We were to make a gift card or something to go with it that we could mail in to the cancer center. 

I do love to bake cupcakes, however, when I bake with the intent of my stuff turning out pretty, there is usually some type of disaster and it looks horrible.  Notice the beautiful cupcake I made bought at the store.  :)  I needed desserts for our neighborhood's National Night Out Celebration tonight.  I was running low on time.  So, I took the easy route and bought goodies for both.  LOL!

Doesn't that cupcake look delish?  It may be hard to tell from the picture but there is a cookie sticking out from that frosting.  YUMMM!
To make to box, I traced a box from I kit I got several years ago onto pink cardstock. To hold the cupcake I made a little raised holder with a circle punched in the center and glued it to the bottom of my box.
I die cut a scalloped square out of the front of my box to make a window. 
The sentiment and cupcake is from the Cricut Cartridge Straight From The Nest. 
On the card I stamped Cornish Heritage Farm's "Vintage Text" in white ink onto the craft cardstock.  Then used my cut outs created from making the box. 
Have a great eve!

Hope You Can Cling To-Day #1

It's that time again!  Time for Hope You Can Cling To!  I had such a blast playing along last year. 
Here are my cards for the three challenges:
HYCCT1201A:Show What You're Made Of.

 

Here is a quote from the posting. "All I want you to do in this challenge is BE YOURSELF and tell me what it is in your description that your stamping style is made of."  
So, for my card I pulled out a bunch of stamps that I love and used them in my card. 
I love the looks of the vintage ads.  I used "Newspaper Ads" stamp from Cornish Heritage Farms.  I also love scrip writing.  For this I used  a stamp from Stampers Anonymous' "Urban Grunge" set...Tim Holtz Collection. 
I LOVE polka-dots!  So, for the girls' dresses I used stamps from PTI's Polka-Dot Basics. 
Now the image...LOVE this image!  It is Uptown Girls Victoria and Juliette's Night Out from Stamping Bella.  I am a girl that just wants to have fun. :)
I also used this week's Mojo Monday Sketch...because most days I just need to. 

HYCCT1201B:For Kids Sake

For this card I used Cricut's Paper Pups Cartridge.  For the loopy edge I used a punch from Martha Stewart Crafts.  The stitching on the hug? is a stamp from PTI's Faux Ribbon Set. 

HYCCT1201C:Ray of Hope

We were to use shades of grey with one color pop. 
Stamps used are:Purple Onion Designs-Swirls, PTI-Out On A Limb.
