Shading is with Ranger distress inks and sentiment heat embossed. </p><p>I was so close to making a birthday card instead, and that would have been perfect for the current Lawnfanatics challenge…but that just means I need to make another card with this extra fun Give it a Whirl die set!</p><p>Have a great rest of your week!</p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0jbbSEodzaumOMiizpwsJvlquOz2AFFSZcsgnX5jEwF4VcO_YKh3fnhdkJ6CsJE55y_BgGxP4J2kjT34-f-fmTgMEXFOEzwKACizplb9utEl48COzotA80wTbY_FUyf3Kd2sBWNRVNms4DdO0sGwFp0EV4XnRuWOkDKkM9DEqB2dL5JpG9HlVz1fo5c8u/s3426/IMG_0408.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3426" data-original-width="2795" height="476" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0jbbSEodzaumOMiizpwsJvlquOz2AFFSZcsgnX5jEwF4VcO_YKh3fnhdkJ6CsJE55y_BgGxP4J2kjT34-f-fmTgMEXFOEzwKACizplb9utEl48COzotA80wTbY_FUyf3Kd2sBWNRVNms4DdO0sGwFp0EV4XnRuWOkDKkM9DEqB2dL5JpG9HlVz1fo5c8u/w388-h476/IMG_0408.jpeg" width="388" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU56_uUY5pk9YxWXa8r9-AepqISDIyZnvcNruWAlvmxxGc4yf0_b0BSg8wNL5M8jg4dQ7SqkTRwCMXvoTuABsGzgte7ew_C7BCZCbXUNPlhi6zPmPgeibAKJw-vk0YKZ6m1rhMTm6Oa4icC72J_cU8ic2dAQeI4MPPCs9RGJYRYhfy2EjAkLuMWjAZIhWG/s3119/IMG_0407.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3119" data-original-width="2648" height="499" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU56_uUY5pk9YxWXa8r9-AepqISDIyZnvcNruWAlvmxxGc4yf0_b0BSg8wNL5M8jg4dQ7SqkTRwCMXvoTuABsGzgte7ew_C7BCZCbXUNPlhi6zPmPgeibAKJw-vk0YKZ6m1rhMTm6Oa4icC72J_cU8ic2dAQeI4MPPCs9RGJYRYhfy2EjAkLuMWjAZIhWG/w425-h499/IMG_0407.jpeg" width="425" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>kadiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01806753654123509739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620397423085380420.post-44354884952229474092024-03-03T11:11:00.000-08:002024-03-04T11:22:56.211-08:00Those Who Inspire Us<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjImL-bvOlFmB2GPmu7alH4JzZ9GlrqEvlDBjLKgSxuLZsMffVyyiTphwXwFWndxJVQDjZ-xwkbrbIZwneo5D43znQZZL-AxU3tFxXjBjNd3tDcwPF8FC07P3XmD8RszaO5IQfBhciEuaMA9PJUbXvJ_Yukc6LIJD4qJfO9ZguAtp5g9Blo0l5ik2c2pMFs/s2750/IMG_0390.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2750" data-original-width="2671" height="490" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjImL-bvOlFmB2GPmu7alH4JzZ9GlrqEvlDBjLKgSxuLZsMffVyyiTphwXwFWndxJVQDjZ-xwkbrbIZwneo5D43znQZZL-AxU3tFxXjBjNd3tDcwPF8FC07P3XmD8RszaO5IQfBhciEuaMA9PJUbXvJ_Yukc6LIJD4qJfO9ZguAtp5g9Blo0l5ik2c2pMFs/w477-h490/IMG_0390.jpeg" width="477" /></a></div><p><br /></p>Hello and Happy Sunday!<p></p><p>I was able to spend some much needed time in my crafty space last night and worked on a few cards for some very special people in my life, who are in need of some uplifting happy mail.</p><p>Here is one of them and it works perfectly for this week’s <a href="https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/simon-says-anything-goes-114/" target="_blank">Wednesday Challenge over at Simon Says Stamp, “Anything Goes</a>.” There’s nearly 200 entries so far, but it never hurts to throw my hat in the ring when a randomizer is selecting the winner 😊</p><p>The motorcycle stamp is one of my fave (retired) stamps from <a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/" target="_blank">Unity Stamp Co</a>. and the sentiments are from <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/" target="_blank">Stampin’ Up</a> (outer) and <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/" target="_blank">MFT stamps</a> (inner).</p><p>Thanks for taking a look!

The challenge is foil cards and while I’ve long admired this technique and have even had my very own Glimmer hot foil machine for months and months now, I still hadn’t been successful in my attempts at foiling. But thanks to a few helpful hints on YouTube, I gave it another try and here it is, my very first Foil card!</p><p>For this card I’ve used the <a href="https://spellbinderspaperarts.com/" target="_blank">Spellbinders</a> Tulip and Frame sets and attempted to water color it. I have to say, since I’m quite comfortable with my Copics, it’s a real learning curve for me to get the outcome I have in my head using other mediums.

I think now, being that it’s so close to Valentine’s Day, it’s a great time to post this card. I also see that it fits perfectly to join in the Wednesday ‘<a href="https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/simon-says-love-is-in-the-air-3/" target="_blank">Love is in the Air’ challenge over at Simon Says Stamp</a>! Yippee!</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;">This is the first time I’ve succeeded (IMO) in using Tim Holtz distress ink to create a cloud background. Many attempts had been made by myself previously and I scrapped them all. (SMH. I’m my worst critic).</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;">Let’s see if I can recall some other details of the items I’ve used for this card…the stamp is from <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/products/colorado-craft-company-anita-jeram-happy-day-clear-stamps-aj455" target="_blank">Colorado Craft Company</a> called, <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/products/colorado-craft-company-anita-jeram-happy-day-clear-stamps-aj455" target="_blank">Happy Day</a>, purchased at <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/" target="_blank">Simon Says Stamp</a>. The balloons are from <a href="https://www.mftstamps.com/" target="_blank">MFT</a> and topped with Stickles and heart confetti.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;">I’ve also started something else in this crafting reboot journey…I’ve been making new creations using only papers from boxes of scraps I’ve held onto. I have loads of fresh, full sized cardstock and patterned paper just calling out to me and yet, I am resolved to making a dent in the scrap paper pile. If I’m not going to do it, I just need to recycle. I have a hard time letting go, to be honest. </span><span style="text-align: center;">So this card is made entirely of paper found in my scrap bin.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;">Thanks for taking a peek! Have a lovely rest of the week!</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsCYAFdDU8WB-iXjApeGJhEfQCANl7fwbr0TrfJwWsHg_hClbwOFBpjLjGriB3zTqdbwKVrs5gv05mhxHS-kQZOwQ3eMKHmScjNiRf3gkzccpNOJJz5olRlzOzlobFcBJV0wrlclsi5dlt2ZBsjtkEvqPtf9NxjZrymE0QF3ekrdjGXSIUzDL0O6nPhQ6B/s4032/IMG_0296.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="586" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsCYAFdDU8WB-iXjApeGJhEfQCANl7fwbr0TrfJwWsHg_hClbwOFBpjLjGriB3zTqdbwKVrs5gv05mhxHS-kQZOwQ3eMKHmScjNiRf3gkzccpNOJJz5olRlzOzlobFcBJV0wrlclsi5dlt2ZBsjtkEvqPtf9NxjZrymE0QF3ekrdjGXSIUzDL0O6nPhQ6B/w440-h586/IMG_0296.jpeg" width="440" /></a></div><br /><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span><p></p>kadiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01806753654123509739noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620397423085380420.post-90174729064872515282024-02-04T14:41:00.000-08:002024-02-06T21:55:29.628-08:00Next Level Thankful<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHzPjxfXgwiozpLmveSH3pQ42PbUKcqSQ3Lmy5bJvNBwF5taL357krc-h57vOrfzsFzhjwbEcjIDltQ0gYJ6Hg8rAEYtUtubAnwUU58yJhZnUSplLdUMYu2zn7Wg56U00_JmVVLiaGVIpY0TGMTu-cnfewPfoSETP8qYQXBp1VHBNCOcLky4epn6AySCeB/s2048/IMG_0291.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1445" data-original-width="2048" height="335" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHzPjxfXgwiozpLmveSH3pQ42PbUKcqSQ3Lmy5bJvNBwF5taL357krc-h57vOrfzsFzhjwbEcjIDltQ0gYJ6Hg8rAEYtUtubAnwUU58yJhZnUSplLdUMYu2zn7Wg56U00_JmVVLiaGVIpY0TGMTu-cnfewPfoSETP8qYQXBp1VHBNCOcLky4epn6AySCeB/w475-h335/IMG_0291.jpeg" width="475" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Hello, Friends! I’m back!</p><p>It’s been quite some time that we’ve met in this way, but I think the mojo has finally returned. I took a long hiatus from design teams and swaps and card making in general (not entirely, as family members still received the occasional handmade celebratory card) following the birth of my son. Hard to believe that was nearly 10 years ago. Over those 10 years all my energy was devoted to him, family time and work. My craft room quickly became a storage room. </p><p>It’s been my goal for 2024 to turn that space back into MY creative space and it’s almost there! It’s not yet photo ready, but card making can once again take place. And I’m happy to share that crafting has indeed been happening :) </p><p>The card I’m sharing today is one that my Son and I worked on together to thank his Auntie for gifting him a new game for his Nintendo Switch.</p><p>The main image for this card is from the <a href="https://www.thesassyclub.com/products/dungeon-squad?_pos=1&_sid=a3a08021f&_ss=r" target="_blank">Dungeon Squad</a> clear cling stamp set by <a href="https://www.thesassyclub.com/" target="_blank">The Sassy Club</a>. (Let’s see if I can remember how to do a link to the website)</p><p>Thanks so much for taking a moment to spy the new creation. Would love any comments left to know you’re still out there!</p><p>{{{hugs}}}</p><p>Kadie </p>kadiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01806753654123509739noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620397423085380420.post-34587561724574509352023-10-19T19:50:00.011-07:002023-10-19T20:06:31.344-07:00New content and blog Renovation<p> Coming soon…</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigCjsZJVItgmXtERcKeCairNvu1qcf8iX2Z5NESpaUuAA9Cvxp2o8RLqHm1kvMveMInnRpyfc7ZnNLQgCwBMkWzI3FlsXva9YJAI7Dr0K5x86EmsQQARSD3U5gBa3xXcKF2jfrnU3A2JXis7W03TTkO4atJvC5UJE1E-2lluu2Ez90-XH24XSzuqMykCJe/s1383/IMG_0147.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1383" data-original-width="941" height="291" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigCjsZJVItgmXtERcKeCairNvu1qcf8iX2Z5NESpaUuAA9Cvxp2o8RLqHm1kvMveMInnRpyfc7ZnNLQgCwBMkWzI3FlsXva9YJAI7Dr0K5x86EmsQQARSD3U5gBa3xXcKF2jfrnU3A2JXis7W03TTkO4atJvC5UJE1E-2lluu2Ez90-XH24XSzuqMykCJe/w199-h291/IMG_0147.jpeg" width="199" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p>kadiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01806753654123509739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620397423085380420.post-25983236935243935152017-10-02T14:09:00.003-07:002017-10-02T14:13:00.399-07:00I'm die-ing to try that SWAP<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello!<br />
<br />
I thought I would pop in and post a card that I created for a swap hosted by the <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/cards-new-open-swaps-f426/new-open-im-die-ing-try-due-october-16-a-t619849.html">lovely Terrie</a> over at SCS, called "I'm die-ing to try that!"<br />
<br />
She challenged us to create a card using some die cuts that we've been looking forward to using but haven't had the chance to yet. (or if we had some on our wishlist to purchase *wink)<br />
<br />
I took a little inspiration from a card I saw over on Pinterest and decided to use this fun set from Lawn Fawn that I have. I stamped the crayon image first and then put those crayons and the sentiment from The Greeting Farm through my Cuttlebug. This was also a great way to use scraps of cardstock I had lying around!<br />
<br />
Thanks for taking a look :) And there's still time to join us over in Terrie's swap!kadiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01806753654123509739noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620397423085380420.post-18132232696589985002017-06-15T08:23:00.003-07:002017-06-15T08:23:34.866-07:00A New Card!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi Friends!<br />
<br />
I wanted to post a card I made recently for a friend who came to visit Seattle. We visited a local store together, called <a href="http://www.impresscardsandcrafts.com/">Impress</a>, and I couldn't resist picking up a couple new items.<br />
<br />
So, I dusted off my old cuttlebug and paper piercer and voila, a card to remember this sweet visit with my friend, <a href="http://inkingintoretirement.blogspot.com/">Barb</a>.<br />
<br />
It's a little hard to tell from the pic, but the die cut is a cell phone. Also the faux pic of Seattle is spritzed with shimmer to look like a screen.<br />
<br />Thanks for popping by!kadiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01806753654123509739noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620397423085380420.post-78182492537629052672017-01-25T12:04:00.003-08:002017-01-25T12:04:53.344-08:00Chickens!Hi Friends,<br />
<br />
I know it's been a while since I posted. I took a hiatus from crafting after my son was born and I'm trying to get back into it more regularly.<br />
<br />
Here is a card I made for the Sisterhood swap group I'm in and the theme was to make a card that had anything to do with chickens :)<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by!<br />

Hi Friends!<br />
<br />
It's been quite some time, but I'm back because it's the 15th of the month and I've got a Dueling Darling card to share.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(I'm still missing cards for Barb's fun kit in September and my own in October and I really apologize for that)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
This month's hostesses are Carol (for the Divas) and Shelly (for the Dazzlers) and they've chosen a "Give Thanks" theme.<br />
I love that theme and I LOVE this kit! :) There's just something really special about Fall when all the leaves start to change color and the air turns a little crisper---definitely something to be thankful for.<br />
<br />
Thank you to Carol for the beautiful kit and thanks to this whole group of Darlings for being so big hearted, inspirational and creative!<br />
<br />
Hugs and Happy Thanksgiving,<br />
Kadie

Hi Friends,<br />
It's that time again for the 15th of the month and another round of Dueling Darlings.<br />
This month our Diva hostess <a href="http://blueinksdesign.blogspot.com/">Tami</a> provided us with an awesome kit, that includes this image from Red Rubber Designs.<br />
<br />
We were also asked to share if we had a flower that we plant annually. I don't have anything that I plant every year, but I do have a few favorites in my yard that bloom once a year. My most favorite is our lilac bush. :)<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy all the Flower themed cards this month and be sure to visit all the Darlings below:<br />

Hi Friends,<br />
It's that time again for the 15th of the month (did you get your taxes done?) and another round of Dueling Darlings.<br />
This month our <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=43860">Diva hostess is Suzy</a> and her partner for the Dazzlers is Terry A. They chose a Swing Into Spring theme!<br />
<a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=43860">Suzy</a> provided us with an awesome kit, that includes this image from a retired SU stamp set called A Kind Word.<br />
<br />
We were also asked to share if we had a favorite Spring dessert and mine is LEMON BARS. Yummmmmm. :)<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy all the Spring themed cards this month and be sure to visit all the Darlings below:<br />
