Pinkfresh Studio Challenge

Hi Crafty Friends! This week I am participating in the Pinkfresh Studios November Challenge. 

This months challenge is all about texture. You can add texture using heat embossing, dry embossing, or add die cuts or pastes. In this challenge you can use just the theme, just the colors, or both. I tried to do both, you will have to let me know how I did.

For these cards I used products I got from the Pinkfresh Studios Fall 2022 Create & Connect Virtual Event. I got the snowflake coverplate, deco frames, and snowflakes from the kit. I also used the Thrill of Hope stamp/die set and the Happy Holidays circle frame stamp/die/stencil set. This set made things super easy to create a beautiful card.


Making 5x7 cards has been my favorite thing to do lately. Especially when I put them on cream cardstock instead of white.

That is all for now, I hope you all have a great week!
Keep Crafting!

Thanksgiving Cards

Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away! My church women's circle needed some cards for members on our prayer list. What better opportunity than to use this super cute mini set from Lawn Fawn and their matching dies to make these cards. I used an older Doodlebug paper pad and it was easy to match up the patterns. 

This is just a sample of the 12 cards.




I colored each pumpkin with my Spectrum Noir TriColor markers. I used the left over strips of paper to create these fun cards.



I used Waffle Flower Arched dies to make the cards above. I was able to make 12 cards inside and out in around 2 hours. Not bad for a Saturday afternoon!

Well, that's it for today. Hope you enjoy! 
Keep Crafting!

I'm ready to start sharing again!

Hi everyone! My name is Jennifer S. I am a teacher by day and a crafter all the time. I love to craft all the things! I like to quilt, make stained glass, crochet, but most of all I love papercrafting. I used to have a blog where I would post my creations and cards that I designed. I let it go when my mother took ill with dementia in 2015. My mother passed away in 2020 during the pandemic and I stopped crafting altogether. This past year and a half I have started feeling creative again and created a craft group at my church. Now I am at the point where I want to participate in challenges and I need a blog to be able to share my designs. The two kids of 2kidsmom are grown and out of the house now, but my dog is still here:) I am ready to share again and I hope someone sees these posts and gets inspired. 

Enjoy and keep crafting!

Jennifer
