ONcE More in '24 - December

The 3rd of each month is a special day here on my blog - it's the day that Kelly (the founder of this series), Barb, and I share our One Plus Twelve cards. The idea is to use the same ONE stamp (not a set) each month to create a card. Sentiments can be used, too, if we choose. 

My ONE stamp this year is a beautiful floral (a very large one) from the Altenew Pristine Peonies stamp set.

This month I decided to give no line stamping a try and then I colored using color-blending with the coordinating stencils.

You'll also be able to see Barb's and Kelly's cards on Instagram as well as their blogs...

And that's a wrap. This is the last 1 + 12 card of this year - but be sure to come back again in January, as Kelly, Barb and I will choose new stamps and start again for 12 months of creating.

CAS823 Clean Up

Each Monday there is a new CAS Challenge on SCS. It's always fun to see what others create using the CAS theme.

I had the privilege of hosting this week and chose the theme is...

Clean Up

I had intended to pick up some things from my work space (crafting area) and create a card with them. However, I am one of THOSE crafters who clean up after every card, so there was nothing to pick up and use.

On to Plan B. A vacuum cleaner is used to clean up, right?

Here's my card:

I hope you'll check out the challenge - HERE - and play along, too.

Spellbinders - Felt Pumpkin

I am honored - beyond measure - to be guest designing for Spellbinders again. This time I was given two of their amazing felt ornament sets to use, as well as some of their felt from the Cool Collection. Today I'm sharing what I made with the Felt Pumpkin Lane House set. Of course I'll be sharing my item using the other set at a future date, so keep your eyes open for that.
