Happy Birthday To Ewe

 A new challenge starts today at Can You Handle The Pressure
with an OPTIONAL theme of KIDS Cards!
However, you can create anything as long as an embossing folder has been used,
that is a MUST!!

I had created another card but the more I thought about it the less
I was thrilled with it so I made this fun kids lamb card.
I've seen a few different designs of these around blogland
using various products and decided to create my own.
I have to mention my little 'ewe' is a bit cross eyed,
just the way the two black spots in his eyes 'rest',
but it gives her , her own personality.

Products used were:
Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Circle (largest & smallest)
SU Punches for ears, face and legs
Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder
A few die cut flowers
and a scrap of designer paper.

The ewe was created to open, so it is adhered to a card panel
as shown below.

We hope you will come and have some embossing fun with us at
Can You Handle The Pressure!!

March 2026 Woodblock Wednesday

 It's the last Wednesday of the month and that means it's time for
Amy's Woodblock Wednesday challenge, the challenge where
your woodblock stamps are required!

For my woodblock I got out an old House Mouse stamp 2005
Sleeping Under Flowers 02.

It's quite a large stamp so it made a large card.
The sentiment is Stampin' Up 1992 stamped on a punched circle. 
I have several of these SU

wood block single stamps I purchased at a garage sale years ago

so have no idea of what set they originally belonged to.

I die cut my image after I had colored it with Copics with a newly

purchased nesting die from Memory Box Notched Eyelet Frames.
Such a pretty nesting set that I know I will get lots of use out of!
I added  a few tiny shamrocks from my 'spare parts' box and
believe they are Impression Obsession dies, cute aren't they?

I am sure Amy would love to see YOU over at her Woodblock Wednesday challenge!!

Memory Box March Challenge

Since I have today FREE, I decided to do the fun March challenge at
Memory Box !
The theme is BIRTHDAY, easy peasy!

I recently purchased some new MB dies that I love,
so doing this challenge is a pleasure!
The dies used are Garden Pail Bouquet and
Notched Eyelet Frames.  I die cut all the flower, leaves
and stems from scraps of white cardstock then 
colored each piece in with various copics for the leaves
and ink left in my brushes for the flowers.
The Eyelet frame was cut from a Mintay paper and
the pail from a Tonic Silver Mirror paper.

The colors in real life are much more vibrant, I took multiple photos
but this is the best I could get, must be all the snow we were getting the
day I created this!

Happy Easter

 Double D is feeling like Easter these next two weeks and that is our theme
EASTER!

We have an inspiration board that will hopefully inspire you to play along!

I had these Katy Sue 3D cards just waiting to be featured and what better time then

now for our Easter challenge.  They were just slightly changed a bit by adding

different background papers.

Honeycomb Chick

Having a bit more of 'challenge fun' today when I saw this adorable
mood board and just couldn't resist as Easter is early this year! 

Art Nudge

I loved every single one of these prompts and might have to
join again, but for today I went with the upper
right corner and the cute little chick!
Last year I bought a few of The Greetery honeycomb die sets and this
chick is making his debut here for the first time.  

I have to say I am addicted to The Greetery and love each and every

release!  I am trying to remember to order a pack of Honeycombs with
each order so I never run out!  I kind of went a bit over the top

with her cheeks so next time will do better, sigh!  I added SNS  Daisy
glitter to the wings and sprayed with hair spray to keep the glitter in place
(better not only for the environment but also my craft room)!!
I created a chick shaped card and added the flowers from (of course)
The Greetery  Bitty Botanicals stamps, stencil and dies.

Here is a side view to show the shape of the card, no sentiment inside yet
as I am not sure if it will be Easter or something else.

I hope you enjoyed my little honeycomb chick today!
