Meantime - I have a card started during Craft Roulette Episode #287 last night but finished much later.
Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;
Recollections green; scrap of blue unk
Stamps - Hero Arts Kiss for the Sun & Acts
of Kindness (both retired)
Dies - AJVD Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set;
Sunny Studio Slimline Nature Borders;
Hero Arts Sentiment Strips Fancy Die (sold out)
Other - Copic Markers; foam tape; Park Lane twine
Host Mary Gunn FUNN had Amanda Stevens (@PearBlossomPress) as her guest. Amanda's company does the light-up mechanisms that we got to use at Paperganza this summer - so fun! Mary & Amanda will be hosting the CR WCMD event with a bunch of different guests; all will be working with last night's CR parameters.
- Project - Saying Hi: I used a Hi Friend sentiment.
- Colors - Crisp: I used colors of crisp things - red apples, orange carrots, yellow Cap'n, Crunch, green peppers, blue for blueberry crisp, white onions.
- Element - Sun/Sunny(ies): I added a sun.
- Random - Pennant(s): I added three pennants to my clothesline.
I stamped and fussy cut all the clothesline elements and the sun. Added them to a stitched rectangle with die cut grass. Stamped and die cut the sentiment strips panel, selecting a strip with "hi", plus four more to scatter on my grass. Assembled everything on the stitched rectangle & used baker's twine for my clothesline. I sketched a line with a pencil, applied a thin line of glue and then the twine. It was supposed to be a deeper arch, oh well... Added the scene to an A2 card using foam tape - done!
Since it was vampire hours, as Cat calls them, & I had laundry in the dryer, I decided to make a card for Just Us Girls #795 Die Week featuring Leaves. I was inspired by my friend & JUGS guest designer Greta (GGCreations) to pull out a Poppystamps leafy frame. Update: when I linked to JUGS, card one was entered - meant it to be card two. I don't see a way to edit their linky... Another update - Lisa fixed it; thanks!
Supplies: Paper - Park Lane A2 card (used half);
Paper Studio Ivory; scraps
Dies - Poppystamps Harvest Oval Frame
(retired but still HERE at Frantic Stamper);
Hero Arts Autumn Leaves
Betterpress Plate w/die - Spellbinders You Are Everything Sentiments
Other - Park Lane gems; foam tape
Simply die cut the frame and three additional leaves, then added to an A2 card. A popped up Betterpressed sentiment & some gems finished the card. Quick and easy!! Not a bad start to WCMD, right? Note - when I linked to
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful World Card-Making Day!!

Your clothesline scene is so sweet and the sun going over the edge is a fun touch. As for your die cut card, all the leaves make for a beautiful fall design.
Gorgeous cards Linda. I missed out making cards this year as no supplies with me in Australia. Very impressed with you cards.
The leaf frame was a great place to show off your colorful leaves, Linda. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.
Wonderful set of cards for WCMD, Linda! The leaves on the second are so pretty.
First card is so cute, but I especially love your leaves card! So happy you've joined JUGS while I'm guesting and that my leafy frame made you decide to use this wonderful die!
You sure have nice leaf dies. I wish I had more. Your card gives such a nice autumn feel and fits right into our leaves challenge this week. Thanks for playing at Just Us Girls!
And there it is!… another brilliant CR creation. Knew you would participate and crushed it. It’s adorable and your leaves card is lovely.
Two fantastic cards - your energy level is inspiring!
