Another card for one of the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps World Cardmaking Day challenges. This one was to use a Kraftin' Kimmie sketch.

Here's the sketch I chose from April 2021:

I used the Lookin' Sharp stamp set. I had one of the images partially colored from when I did THIS tutorial so it was nice to get it used on a card.

I paper pieced the pot that the succulent is in. I've had this paper forever so it was fun to find it and use it!

I think this turned out so pretty!! I love it when a card comes together easily and actually looks good when done, LOL!

Have a great day! and hope you can get krafty!

Challenge #14 is the themes of Birthday or Ribbon or Mojo Monday Sketch 543- used with permission!

For my card I went with the birthday theme and I used the sketch. I used Whimsy Stamps Cute Cacti stamps and dies for my card paired with designer paper from Whimsy called Festive Desert.

I really like the contrast between the darker designer paper and the white. Super fun card!!

Sketch Sunday- Cute Cacti

You guessed it, another series. LOL! I'm just having the best time crafting lately! I'm not sure how long I'll keep all these going but for now I'm just going to have fun!

My Sketch Sunday is just what it sounds like, make a card using a sketch! This week I'm using the Sweet Sunday Sketch #70!

I decided to use my Cute Cacti stamp set and dies from Whimsy Stamps. I also used the Whimsy Stamps Festive Desert 6x6 Paper Pack instead of the swirly design on the sketch. I'm not sure my design is exactly like the sketch but at least the sketch gave me inspiration!

I think this would be a fun birthday card so I put the sentiment "celebrate" on it. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great crafty day!

July Sheetload of Cards Leftovers

Last month Alicia made a video where she made 4 cards from the leftovers from the June Sheetload of Cards. I thought that sounded like so much fun so I decided to join in the fun with her this month and use my leftovers from my July Sheetload of Cards to make some cards. 

Here's what I have leftover~

And here's what I created~ I did add a few supplies here and there but I tried to mainly use what was leftover.  

I was inspired by Alicia's cute cacti cards so I inked up a new Whimsy Stamps set I have, Cute Cacti for this first card.

My second card uses Happy Gwen from Some Odd Girl! I had colored her up during a coloring challenge and was pleased that the colors I used worked with the paper!

My next card I made into a slimline card. I kept it super simple with some butterflies and a sentiment. I really like how it turned out!!

My last card I decided to make a square card with some strips of the leftover patterned paper.

It was fun to stretch my creativity and use the leftovers from the July Sheetload of Cards! Be sure to check out what Alicia did on her YouTube Channel.

Have a wonderful day!
