It Is Finished Designs : 2021

I made this side step card from an idea from Pinterest and here's my version. Her's was an A 4 card and I wanted to make mine bigger, so I fiddled with it and this is a 6 x 6". You can go here to watch the video tutorial. I actually wanted it a little wider, but it turned out pretty nice as is, maybe next time.

The plaid paper, senti, gold background die and large holly is Anna Griffin, the lamp post I think is Memory Box, I don't remember where I got the others. I made graduating panels for the back 2 steps and decorated them.

That's all for now, hope you enjoyed stoppin' by!

Thanks to all the challengers above for lettin' me play along.

Blessings!

QKR Stampede - #432 AAG

I made this card with the Sue Wilson Three Column background die, the Anna Griffin Happy Thanksgiving die and foliage stickers, a puffed pumpkin from Michaels and some mini pinecones I found outside. I made the background paper by putting a layer of Sue Wilson's double sided adhesive on a piece of paper and spead her Cosmic Shimmer, Gilding Flakes, Mulled Wine. I also added some green and pink Aurora gilding flakes for added color.

I took a couple of pictures of just this background paper and gorgeous die that I hated to cover up. These pictures don't do the gilding flakes any justice, they are so much more shiney and glittery than this.

That's it for now, hope you enjoyed stoppin' by!

Happy Hanukkah!

Good evening blogger friends!

I have a Hanukkah card to share today:

Li'l Patch of Crafty Friends - #170 AAG

My Time to Craft - #470 Texture

QKR Stampede - #432 AAG

I made this card with the Anna Griffin Hanukkah card kit. I just love her kits! Even though they're a bit pricey, they are all inclusive and I think worth it. You get everything you need to make a card, from a variety of base cards, embellishments, sentiments, inside sentiment inserts, envelopes, dimensionals, instructions and examples, making it look so professional. She also has the dies to match that are seperate, which I also have, but I didn't use them on this card. I had a few Hanukkah dies, stamps and embellishments but nothing to this extent.

And here's my first version.

Isn't that just too fun!

I used one of Anna Griffin's blue, Fall, plaid papers and matching plain papers in my stash. I used a Sizzix leaf embossing folder for the lighter blue, some of Anna Griffin's gold flourishes, 3 skeleton leaves are from Michaels and the wheat pieces are from Impression Obsession dies.

* Wheat dies are from Impression Obsession

I made this Fall wreath card from a card I saw on Pinterest. I liked the darker blue and burnt orange color combo with the gray, wood background. After making most of the card, I got these wheat dies in the mail and wanted to use them so they went on top. I would normally have mixed the wheat in with the rest of the other wreath pieces, but I would've had to tear it apart 'cause they were already glued down. The wheat kinda covered up a lot of the other colors which I wasn't too happy about, but, what's a girl to do. Not my finest piece of work, but it's ok.

That's all for now, hope you enjoyed stoppin' by!
