Home Sweet Home Recycled Wall Hanging

 I had been perusing Pinterest to find something to do with all these friggin' buttons I had left over from when it was a big thing to put buttons on your cards {something I never really got into, but HAD to have all the stuff in case the moment grabbed me and I felt the urge to make hundreds of cards with buttons on them} and I found all these Christmas wall hangings with button trees on them So I actually made the Christmas wall hanging during the season this past year and decided I needed to make one that could be used all year long.  I came up with the Home Sweet Home wall hanging that I am using for this month's recycle challenge at River of Creativity {remember we are an Anything But a Card challenge!!}:

I started with an 8" x 10" wooden shadow box frame {no covering on this frame} that I had painted with white gesso and rubbed some gesso on the actual frame part to soften the darkness of the wood.  I took some Scrabble tiles I had {I have SO many of these tiles I am sure I could cover an entire wall

Making the Heart

with them} and spelled out Home Sweet Home to make sure the sentient would fit.  Then I cut out the largest heart using Tutti Nesting Stitched Hearts, #TUTTI-216, and covered it with the buttons.  I could NOT get the shape of a heart to work when trying to do it by hand, so I used the die cut as a template.  Since the background of the shadow box is white it is really difficult to see the white paper heart beneath the buttons.  Once I had finished the heart and glued it to the center of the shadow box, I glued down the Scrabble tiles.  I am really pleased how this came out! I think I could almost actually sell them if I could find a cheap source for the shadow frames; I have sourced a few and they are just too pricey right now - at least if I wanted to make a marginal profit and I can't see having to spend more money to use up the stash I already have.  But, I do have a project I made for my sister for Christmas that I was SURE I posted but can find no record of it, so more button projects on the way!

Getting back to the challenge on River of Creativity, this months theme is RECYCLE so if you'd like to use the theme make sure your entry has some sort of recycle, or upcycle in it.  We can't wait to see all the gorgeous entries! I am personally so pleased at how you all have embraced the changes we made to this challenge and it's a testament to how people are still creating other things besides cards! Thanks SO much and I hope to see you at the challenge ~ Fondly, Christi

You're Sweet at Paper Funday!!

Boy, pink is a TOUGH color to photograph! But I still love this card and made it for the Paper Funday February "Hugs & Kisses" challenge.  I adore Lawn Fawn Products and this was made with some of the older ones, but I have some new ones in the works, so stay tuned!I

What I Used to Make my Card:
White Slimline Card Base
Pink Card
White Card
Lawn Fawn Slimline with Hearts, Landscape, #LF2476
Kat Scrappiness Slimline Never Ending Nesting Dies
Lawn Fawn You're Sweet Line Border, #LF1560
Lawn Fawn Polka Heart Backdrop Die, Landscape, #LF1830
Lawn Fawn Hedgehugs Die, #LF730

I stretched myself making this card; there is NO stamping on it at all!  I almost had to stamp a sentiment, but as you can see I worked that out. Let me explain how I made the card. I started with the slimline card and cut out the back layer and the front layer, using pink and white card. Then I cut out the hearts so they were visible through the hearts on the front of the card.  I wanted the small hearts to be white, so I used some scrap white card to layer behind it.  I attached that portion close to the top because my plan was to use the sentiment at the bottom of the card.  Well, that didn't work out very well. First it didn't fit and then there was the dilemma of what color should the sentiment be?  I really did not want to introduce another color to the pallet so I just moved the sentiment up a bit and placed it onto the focal part of the card. Then I had to figure out what to add to the bottom since there was too much space to just leave it {at least I thought so.}  I debated if I should trim it {there doesn't seem to be any real standard yet for slimline cards.}  No trimming; instead I focused on something I could add.  I tried pearls and gems until my eye settled on the Hedgehugs set that was on my desk.  Perfect!  I cut out those little hearts five times and adhered them to the bottom of the card.  I doubt you'd think that space was unplanned if I didn't tell you!  I love the way the card came out, especially the little hearts along the bottom!  I hope to see your "Hugs & Kisses" projects on the Paper Funday Challenge! Thanks for stopping by!  Fondly, Christi

So Thankful Fall is Here at Paper Funday!

I made this card to celebrate the fact I am no longer sweating to death in my craft room! I love the fall - I love the weather, the colors, and getting to wear clothes I had forgotten I had {and that, amazingly, still fit!} It just so happens that this months challenge {aside from Always Anything Goes} at Paper Funday is Autumn/Fall! September is here already {gasp!} so it's time to get cracking on those colorful fall cards!

 

What I Used to Make my Card:

White Card Base

Watercolor Paper {I use this} 

Ranger Archival Ink in Jet Black

Zig Clean Color Brush Markers

Lawn Fawn Leafy Tree Backdrop: Landscape, #LF1237

Lawn Fawn Stitched Windy Backdrop, #LF1425

Lawn Fawn Jump for Joy Stamps, #LF1212

Lawn Fawn Jump for Joy Dies, #LF1213

Lawn Fawn Mushroom Border, #LF1919
Brown, Green and Blue card

 I started this card like most of my others, stamping, coloring, and cutting out my critters and accessories. I added the backdrop and windy backdrops to really make the fall weather come alive. I glued all the elements together, starting with the scenery and ending with the owl holding the rake. I wanted it to look as if the owl had just spent time raking those leaves when that pesky hedgehog jumped in them but it is impossible to make a Lawn Fawn critter look annoyed or angry! I took a risk and stamped the sentiment right onto the sky {something I rarely do since I have ruined SO many projects by messing up the sentiment.} It is much easier to do now that there are so many things to help us stamp over and over and keep our cards in place, but I can still mess up a perfectly good card very easily.

I hope you like my card. :) I invite you to take a look at my various social media pages and please consider following me ~ if you do, leave me a message so I can return the favor! I hope to see your creations over at the Paper Funday Challenge; it runs the whole month which gives you plenty of time to join in the fun!

Altenew Spring Cover Cards {A threefer!}

Hi friends! I hope this post finds you well! Since I have three cards to show you why don't you grab a drink and hurry back! I got seriously carried away with the Altenew Spring Shower Cover Die while making cards for the Dies R Us inspiration page; I guess I was inspired!  I hope these cards inspire you a bit as well.  Here we go:  

What I Used to Make my Cards
White Card Bases
Altenew Spring Shower Cover Die
Pink, light yellow, light blue, light purple, light green and white layering card {thinner card}
Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive
Dimensional Dots

I began my cards only planning on making one but as I cut out all the different colors I wanted to use I realized the negatives were too pretty to throw away so one card became three.  As I mentioned, I cut the die a total of six times using the colors listed above, in a thinner card than I would typically use.  I began working on the "hello" card first as that was the primary card I had in my mind.  I kept some of the white cut outs in the panel I was going to use as the top of my card and filled in other places with the colorful die cuts I'd made.  I also layered some of the die cuts to make different flowers. That's where I got into trouble! I made so many flowers with the leftovers there was no way I could throw them out!  I even used dimensional dots on some of the flowers on the other cards.

I did use a different sentiment for each card as you can see; the "hello" I used is from Hero Arts Stamp & Cut set, #DC151.  The second card, "hello summer" uses a die from Impression Obsession, Hello Summer, #DIE688-B and finally the "miss you" card uses another Altenew die {Dies R Us doesn't have the Hero Arts set or the Altenew word die at the moment, but there are plenty other words dies in stock to choose from}.  I also used a circle of blue paper that I had on my desk for the hello summer card to help me make the wreath.

Here are pictures of each card:

"Miss You" Card

Thanks for reading my little tutorial. I hope my cards inspire you to get some die cuts and start creating! If you don't have the dies you want, or need, to make your vision come to life please take a look at what is available to play with at Dies R Us! Thanks SO much and see you soon! Christi

A Cat and Coffee Card

Hi everyone!

I hope you are all doing well - I never would have thought we'd still be here in this mess, but I am lucky as no one I care about has been effected by this nasty virus!  

On to the card that I am posting today; I was inspired to make this card after doing the Saturday post at Challenges for Days - I update the Saturday challenges and I saw quite a few calling for a CAS card and I haven't used any of my Newton's Nook stamps in ages, so here is my creation:

I stamped, cut and colored the adorable cat from the Newton's Nook set, Newton Loves Coffee first using my Zigs. I used a white card blank and stamped my sentiment directly onto the card; the sentiment is from a set called Mug Life from Ink Road Stamps.  I then attached Newton onto the card and I was done! Since it only took a few products to make this card I thought I would write up my post with the products directly in the post instead of making a separate "How I Made my Card" list.  I'm anxious to know what you think - should I stick to my usual way of posting or does this way work for you? Please let me know in the comments!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Even if you don't leave a comment {which I apologize for, seems since I have Anxiety in my blog name every black market pill manufacturer is leaving me comments on how I can obtain my Zanax from out of the country} I can see from the stats that I was visited.  I have been blogging for years now but, with Instagram becoming so popular, I actually considered stopping writing this blog. After much thought, I decided against it - I like writing my posts and "talking" to you all, so I am here to stay! 

Fondly,
Christi

Winter Wishes

 I was cruising around the internet, looking for inspiration and I went to the Lindy's Gang website.  I am sure that Lindy's has been in the craft business as long as I have been crafting and their products are so innovative that many have tried to copy them, but in my opinion there is nothing as good as the original.  I saw the January challenge on the Lindy's blog and I immediately knew I had to get out my goodies and take part in it.  So here is my card:

What I Used to make my Card:
Square White Card Base
White Cardstock
White Pearl Cardstock
Lindy's Gang Glitz Spritz in Steel Shimmer {discontinued but this would work}
Lindy's Gang Starburst in Tainted Teal
Lindy's Gang Magical Shaker in Oom Pah Pah Pink
Lindy's Gang Embossing Powder in Magic Moon Pearls
Sizzix/Tim Holtz Paper Snowflakes, Mini, #661599
Penny Black Wintertime Wishes Die, #51-078
Hand Held Circle Paper Punch {like the type you use in an office}

The Products I Used

Now I have to give Lindy's some product love. I have been a fan of their embossing powder forever; they make the absolute coolest 2 tone powders I have ever seen.  I had gotten the
magical shaker as a freebie when I was buying some of their products but had never used it
before this project and I had no idea what to expect.  When I shook the powder out onto the paper, it was a blah taupe color and I honestly didn't think it was going to work.  I got a little  upset thinking I ruined the paper I had made.  Well, once the water touched it, the color literally bloomed in front of me - it was amazing!  Their sprays are also quality- I hadn't used them in ages; honestly probably since I added the water to them way back when I received them a few years back.  However, a little shake to mix the color and I had no problem spritzing them out at all. No clogs, no blobs, nothing.  Beautiful!

I made my paper with the various Lindy's products, then die cut all the snowflakes.  I realized I needed a neutral color to use with the colored snowflakes so I chose a pearlized white and used that to cut out more snowflakes.  The hand-held, circle punch was used to add a circle in some of the flakes.  I cut the sentiment out of the same paper, layered my snowflakes around the card, trimmed it, and I was done.  I am very pleased with this card, I love all the sparkle! Thanks SO much for stopping by! ~ Fondly, Christi

Japanese Paper Dolls

I made this card ages ago and I recently came across it; I think it is just too cute not to share and I hope you agree!  Now, I have had the die set for a while, but this is the first time I've used them - I hope that counts as something new for all of these challenges!

What I Used to Make my Card:
White Card Base 
Frantic Stamper Kokeshi Japanese Paper Doll Die Set, #FRA-DIE-10067
MSE! Stamp Set, Handwritten Sentiments, #Y500 {they sell on eBay now and this link will take you to the store}
Vanilla Card {for the faces}
Black Card {for the hair}

Silver & Gold Card {for the belts and accessories} 

Ranger Archival Ink in Jet Black  
Patterned Paper

I am loving these "assembly" die sets; cut out a bunch of different pieces and parts and then go to town assembling your items - in this case these adorable dolls.  There honestly isn't much to say about the process, it is fairly cut and dry.  I enjoy bringing all the parts out in the living room and playing around while I watch TV.  I actually look forward to commercials!  Anyway, once all my dolls were assembled, I stamped the sentiment on the card and attached the cuties above and below.  There was a time when Asian everything was all the rage in crafting and I have papers, coins, newspapers, books and so much more left over from that time but I love the items so much I can't let them go yet! It was nice to use papers that I've had since, well, let's just say a long time ago.  

I forget I have this die set and seeing this card reminds me - I think I will make a friendship card with all the little dolls holding hands - how cute would that be? Stay tuned! I would appreciate it if you'd elect to follow me on any form of social media of your liking, all of the links are on the sidebar.  If you do, please let me know so I can follow you back!

Warmest Wishes with Penny Black

Hi all!! I hope this card finds you and yours well.  I am terribly behind on my holiday cards this year but I did manage to get this one done.

I could NOT get a picture of the sparkling crystals - but if you

 look close, you can see a few of them

What I Used to Make my Card
White Card Base
DCWV Blue Noel Paper Pack, 12 x 12
Penny Black Snowy Park Stamp, #3231K
Penny Black Warmest Wishes Die, #51-170
Silver Shimmer Paper
Studio Katia Sparking Crystals Mix, #SK2411

I started this card by taking the stamp off the wooden block.  It was a pleasure to use now that I can over stamp the image and get it nice and dark.  One the image was stamped, I trimmed it down.  I found background paper that I felt works with the image; I didn't want anything too flashy or bright, but wanted to stay somewhat seasonal.  I used silver shimmer paper and die cut the sentiment, assembled the card and then added some sparkle by using a few crystals.  I like how the crystals are subtle.

I hope you enjoyed my card! I saw the Penny Black Saturday Challenge and I really wanted to use these items; I think I have had the stamp since it came out in 2005! Well, I will be using it much more now that I removed it from the block. I found a few others I'd removed as well, so be prepared for some oldies but goodies!  Thank you and please consider following me here, or on any of the social media platforms listed. Let me know so I can follow you back ~ Hugs! Christi

Hi! from the Cat's Meow

I made this card a while back, had forgotten about it and found it just in time for the #2020CatLoversHop that Janis from Her Peaceful Garden so generously creates every year!  I love all of the stamps and dies that Mama Elephant puts out; everything is just so darn cute and it was this set, The Cat's Meow, that got me hooked on Mama Elephant!!

 

 

I used a white card base and covered that with this very old sky background paper I have had for years - it's the kind of thing you don't pay much attention to until you need it and then it is SO handy.  I have quite a bit left so I don't think I will be running out anytime soon!   I stamped the cats out on Watercolor Paper {I use this}, colored them in with my Prismacolor pencils, die cut them and attached them to the front of the card.  Lastly I added the heart balloon and the Hi! sign.  Oh and I jazzed some of the kitties up a bit by adding my own spots, squiggles, circles and such.  I could literally just stamp and color this group of kitties for days; the image lends itself to  many types of coloring medium.

I hope you enjoyed my card and will take some time to check out the other kitty creations - who knew cat lovers where so crafty and artistic {well, truthfully *I* did, but I don't like to toot my own horn} Hugs! Christi

Time for the Cat Lovers Blog Hop!!

I love cats and I love making cards with cats on them! I was sorry to miss this wonderful blog hop put on by Her Peaceful Garden last year, but here I am this year!!  I'm a little late, as this is day 2 of the hop, but you still have plenty of time to get out those cat goodies and get creating!

This card is so simple!  I just made a card base out of white paper, stamped my cat and sentiment on it, then colored the cat and hearts with colored pencils.  The stamp set is from Unity Stamp Company and is called Really. . . Kitty?; but Unity has many, many kitty stamps from which to choose if this one isn't your style.  I used Gina K Amalgam Ink Pad in Obsidian Ink for all the images and Prismacolor Colored Pencils to color everything in and to make the light blue background on the card.

 

Very easy simple card.  I will be posting another cat card tomorrow and I hope to see you here.  I really hope to see you in the hop as well!   PS: I apologize for the change in font in this post - I can't seem to get it to cooperate!  Hugs, Christi

Happy Fall

 I have been struggling to get motivated to write some blog posts; I just cannot get in the mood to write them!  I have been having some physical issues and I think that has something to do with not being able to get in the mood to write.  I have been creating a bunch; if you have known me for a while now you know Halloween is my favorite holiday and I have a bunch of cards and other goodies to show you.  I think what I am going to do to give myself a break on the writing process is write up just a small paragraph about the creation I am posting and if you want information on something I didn't touch on just contact me.  I will include as many links as I can in the post I just won't be making a separate list of items I used.  Again, I may not stick to this format either; it really depends on how I feel :)

Now that I have gotten that of of the way here is my first card of the Fall season - just a clean and simple little Lawn Fawn card using the Tree Before 'n After stamps and dies. Everything was stamped with the Gina K Amalgam Ink Pad in Obsidian Ink on watercolor paper and then colored in with my Zig Clean Color Brush Markers and a water brush.  

I hope this finds you happy & healthy! Until next time, Christi {stay tuned, I have so many more Halloween cards & goodies to share!!}

Pinkfresh Hello with a Bouquet Die 2 Ways

I am trending toward using all parts of a die cut or background more than ever before.  I am not sure why this has suddenly appealed to me, but, I am having fun challenging myself, so who cares??  The die featured in this post is perfect for utilizing all the "leftover" pieces and parts and I hope this inspires you to see what you can use your leftovers for. 

 

(you can see the colors much better in the individual photos below)

What I Used to Make my Cards:
White Card Base
Pre-made Oxide Ink Backgrounds
Pinkfresh Hello with a Bouquet Die
Papertry Ink Thinking of You Die, PTD-1273
MFT/Die-Namics Stitched Fishtail Sentiment Strips, MFT-1125

So not only did I use all the pieces of the die cuts but I used a bunch of backgrounds I had that were too pretty to throw away but didn't quite work for the project I was making them for.  I always have a bunch of  pre-made backgrounds made and ready to go!  To begin both of

these cards,  I die cut the Hello out of three different pre-made backgrounds to have the pieces I'd need.  Be careful, there are many more tiny pieces than I realized and I lost some.  To fix this,  all I did was use the leftover background paper and cut the small spots I needed to fill in.  I attached the white outer cut to the card and then just pieced it together.


The second card is made from all the extra floral and leaves cuts that I didn't use for the first card.  I just trimmed them as I needed and attached them to the white card base, making sure that the fishtail strip was going to cover

all the ends.  I then cut out the sentiment and attached that to the fishtail strip and attached that to the card.  The second card is an absolute departure in colors for me and I actually like that one the best.  Funny how stretching your creativity can end up in the best stuff! 

 

Hope you are all healthy and safe! Trying to keep sane in this insane world that I fear may be our new normal.  Thank you SO much for stopping by :) Fondly, Christi

I am lucky enough to work on a blog called Challenges for Days where we update the current challenges for people like myself who can't remember all the wonderful challenges out there.  I tell you this because there has been many times that I am updating my day {which is Saturday} and I will come across a challenge that I just HAVE to enter.  It happened this past Saturday with Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers current challenge: D is for Dogs; I love using Crazy Cats, Birds & Dogs SO much I had to break them out for this challenge :)

 

What I Used to Make my Card:
White Card Base
Tim Holtz Mini Crazy Cats & Dogs Stamps, #CMS272
Tim Holtz/Sizzix Mini Crazy Cats & Dogs Dies, #661594

Watercolor Paper {I use this}

Zig Clean Color Brush Markers

Gina K Amalgam Ink Pad in Obsidian Ink

Derwent Inktense Watercolor Pencils 

Nuvo Crystal Drops in Ebony
Sakura Gelly Roll Pens, Stardust
Premade Distress Ink Background 

 

After the pups were stamped, colored and die cut, I used an Oxide Ink background that I had lying around from a previous creation.  I tend to make many backgrounds for a project that for some reason or another don't fit my vision and instead of throwing them out {there is nothing wrong with them except they don't work for whatever I am making} I keep them.  I have loads of Distress Oxide Ink and Alcohol Ink backgrounds ready to go at a moments notice!  

 

I embossed the sentiment and chose these two dogs to stand on it - to me it looks like the first dog is telling this to the second dog which is why the second pup looks so surprised.  The expressions on these, and the whole Crazy collection, is so much fun!  I hope you have enjoyed this card, as well as the other two {one is here and the other is here} and perhaps, if you aren't a snarky person, I've encouraged you to take a peek at the fun side of snark! 

 

Thanks SO much! I appreciate your time stopping by! Blessings, Christi
