Prima Marketing Urban Cosmos Hurricane Layout

 








Using Prima Urban Cosmos collection from 2007, I made this double layout about Hurricane Milton clean up in October 2024. The papers are Ethnic, Suburb, and Metro. I cut the Ethnic and Suburb into circles 1/2 inch different sizes with my Creative Memories Large circle maker using the blue blade and then tracing the inner circle and fussy cutting it out. I then ripped the edges and turned them up to add texture. I tore the remaining left over pieces to small slivers into strips to place where the other smaller pics were. I cut the title on my Cricut Explore using the Birthday Bash cartridge on Design Space. I glued it all together and very happy with it. Hoping to not have to do another hurricane layout for a while

These pics are from our recent cardmaking day. Here's their info:

Poppy Stamps Neighborhood Home Pop Up Hello card!






 
This is a fabulous die set from Poppy Stamps called Neighborhood Pop Up Card and it stands like an easel card! Love making this Orange, black and white card for Poppy Stamps' Monthly challenge: Get Your Spook on.  This front panel was die cut and embossed as well as the roof of the house. All of the parts come with the die set and it comes out so cute.

Additional details: I added a "shaker box" to the bottom panel to put candy corn pieces to match up with the sentiment die image. That "hello" die is also Poppy stamps and is no longer available and called Luscious Hello. I cut the front panel of it, 3 times out of Orange, Tangerine, and white. The background of it was cut in Burnt Orange. Using the white, I added the Tangerine layer with the top part cut off partially as seen. The orange layer, was cut further down, and added making the "candy corn" hello. Added to the Burnt Orange bg to place on the card to make the "easel" part so as to make it stand up. The large moon is also theirs and a swirl circle die I left large to enhance the fall moon of fall nights! Love how it came out and hope you do too. Other challenges include:

Prima Marketing Candy Lane card



Jumped into using my stash and starting my Christmas cards for 2024!! We are very busy here in Central Florida getting ready for our second hurricane in a row. We had a ton of yard pick up with the last one 2 weeks ago and now another is hitting Florida in 3 days. Thought I would sit down and play with the World Card Making Day with leftover fussy cut pieces from 2 years ago. Enjoy!!

Kaiser Craft Sweet Nothing Double layout of Passau, Germany


 




I used Love Letters Paper from the Sweet Nothings collection By Kaiser Craft as well as, All Yours. I had an extra sheet with the angel so chose that to fussy cut it all our and added the angel with pop dots. I used the rest of that Love Letters to cut it down to strips of 2 x 8 inches and after inking all edges with Walnut Distress ink I arranged them as seen to go behind the photos. I then began using matching flowers from my collection from all different companies including Prima Marketing, Blue Fern and Petaloo. I didn't like how thick some were so I removed the stamins and added pearls to some and Nuvo Drops in Pearl to others. Some leaves, and fancy brads were also added. To add a title, I chose Kaiser Craft English Rose rub-ons to the first photo. I did add a "d" to make it Treasured moments. Hope you enjoy it! I just love these papers! 
  The photos are of us listening to the organ concert at the St. Stephen's Cathedral in Passau, Germany. I took the pics and the oval pic is of city guide outside the church who recommended coming back to hear it. The organist doesn't want himself to be seen during the concert so this is of him when he was practicing earlier in the day. Beautiful music and melody.
