The ProCRAFTinator's Club - November!


Hi friends!


 Today's card share is for 

~ The ProCRAFTinator's Club ~

where a group of us friends share our projects

made from a kit, class, camp or retreat!




This idea came from chatting with friends

and how so many of us are proCRAFTinating on our classes,

camps and kit/subscription boxes!

All those kits, past and present, online classes and camps ~

We're dustin' them off and creating :)




For November, I'm heading back to Scrapbookfest 2024

which was wonderful!

I did watch (<-- keyword!) the classes but waited too late

 to order this class kit ~ it sold out in record time!

By the time it came back in stock, the class was over

so I just watched and created with other existing supplies.

And that's okay, too :)



This card is using the supplies in the class

and I just sort of designed a card that was creatively fun!

I paper pieced together the polar bear in soft neutral colors

of tiffany blue and grey.

I stamped the sentiment from Wonder & Delight, also from SBCom,

and added it as a base for the bear and presents.




We will be back in December with another proCRAFTinated card

and continuing on in 2025!


Thanks for stopping by :)

With gratitude

 


Hi friends!

I can't believe we are already in NOVEMBER!

And in 57 more days, it will be a brand new year ...

2025!


Today is all about gratitude :)



My card today is using one of my top favorite MMH kits

from Hero Arts and it's from March 2024.

I love LOVED that near my birthday, they released a kit

that was an immediate YES!

It's absolutely everything amazing with an asian theme

and so much in the kit to create for weeks and still have left overs!

I chose to focus on red - good luck for the new year -

and used the matching die,

 purposely only removing some of the cutouts. 



I've used this die before and wanted to try this - and I like it!

I watercolored a panel and added a dark pink behind the frame

and the flowers were stamped onto the dried panel.

It's so much lighter online but IRL, this has a beautiful subtle rainbow

tint ~ super sweet!

I also added a few of the transluscent gems from the kit as a highlight.




                                   Thanks for stopping by

and have a beautiful start to your week!

Once More in '24 ~ November


 Hi friends!


It's the time of year where I debut my 

 FAVORITE 

  personal challenge - 

One Plus Twelve!




This is the 6th year of my card challenge 

where I take ONE stamp (and only one stamp!)

and make a card TWELVE times (once a month on the 3rd).

The idea came from my wish to extend the use of the stamps,

 bought and often used only once ~ why not challenge yourself

 to see how many different ways!


For 2024, I chose Pink and Main's Wildflowers stamp.

Here's November:



This stamped image is so versatile.

It's so beautiful and a fun way to get more birthday/

thinking of you, etc cards.  I did add a ready made sentiment

using a Tim Holtz sentiment.




                   My friends Barb and Jeanette are joining me

again this year in the challenge 

as we have done for the past 6 years.



This year, I decided to call One Plus Twelve 

by a cute catch phrase for 2024

Once More in '24 ...

every month on the 3rd!


Thanks for stopping by!
