CoVID19 cards

I've had so much more time than normal to sit  in my studio and enjoy tutorials, scroll Pinterest, and make cards!! In that process today, I saw a card by Jeanie Stark featuring a pig wearing a mask.


I was totally inspired to find a stamp that I could do that with.
 I decided to use one of the cows in Over the Moon. So I used some handmade paper that has a fabric look to make the mask. The stamp set Tags in Bloom has a sentiment that fit perfectly. The other card used a sentiment from Over the Moon.

Then I decided to make a card having to do with toilet paper (have you seen the toilet paper cakes?!!) and found a digital image that was really cute.

Last but not least, I needed to send virtual hugs to a couple of friends who are going through some hard times. I used the panda image from the retired Panda Party stamp set on one. The flower is from Good Morning Magnolia, the ribbon is Calypso Coral and the sentiment is cut with a Stitched So Sweetly die. The other card uses another retired set, Postcard Pals and the same sentiment printed a little differently. The die behind "Virtual Hugs" and the image are also from Stitched So Sweetly. I LOVE that die set!! A little linen thread finishes off the card.

I hope these cards have brought a smile to your face. I couldn't help but smile as I made them.
Stay safe and healthy!!

A New Way of Life!

Yes, we are all having to make a lot of adjustments and changes to the way we're used to doing things. There is a lot of hard stuff going on around us, but there is also a lot of good happening in the midst of the hard. Families are having meals together, spending time playing games; and crafters are having time to do what we love doing!! One of my friends is making face masks for others to use. My husband and I were the recipients of two of them. Thank you so much, Renee!
I made 35 cards to encourage a group of senior adults in a low income group of apartments where, under normal circumstances, we operate a Food Pantry. Right now they are just getting pre-made bags of food plus a handmade card with a Bible verse in it to let them know they are being prayed for.

So on my Facebook page, Scrappindede's Doin's, I decided to try some challenges to give us something to focus on and maybe to motivate doing something crafty!

I wanted to offer the same challenge here!
In Shelter CHALLENGE #1
MONOCHROMATIC - make something using different shades of only one color. I'll be making cards, but you might do a scrapbook page, a painting, a canvas, or knit a pair of socks!

Post a picture of your project and tell us what you used.
I made a card using my favorite Stampin Up color - grapefruit grove - with a touch of Terracotta Tile. I used To A Wild Rose stamp set. Here's the photo

I would love to see what you make! Feel free to post in the comments!
Stay safe and do something fun!!
