Triple B (9/2026) Challenge

 Hello Friends!

Have you checkout our challenge blog called TRIPLE B?
It's all about using any of your stash but your project must have at least a BIRD, a BUTTERFLY or BLOOMS (flowers) visible on it.  Hence the title Triple B.

Here's this months inspiration board ...

 

 Here's what I've come up with . . .

 


 I first created my background sky using TH distress oxide ink, large sponge dauber and a cloud stencil.  Then created this fun scene using Stickers from my 'The Harvest Time' sticker book.  My sentiment is from a Simon Says Stamps clear stamp set and the little yellow butterflies are from an OLD Martha Stewart butterfly punch.

 

 Remember, our challenge begins on the 3rd of each month, ends on the last day of the month and Winner's are announced on the 2nd of each month.

I hope you'll come join in the fun!
Thanks for stopping by today!

As always ...

 A heart warming card with a heart warming message!

I've created the background using a cloud stencil from the Blue Knight Stamp Co and Tim Holtz  'broken china' distress oxide ink.  My tree and eagle come from the Stamperia 'Forest' paper cut outs.  The sentiment is a set by Stampscapes called Sheet 2 - Sky/Clouds/Stars.

Here's what I've come up with . . .

 


I am having so much fun with border dies lately, and even though I already had a few in my stash, I just felt the need for a few newer ones so a shopping trip to Scrapbook.com was in order.  Today I've used one of my newer dies and it's by Paper Rose ... called Gum Leaf Border. 

       

After die cutting my panel from white card stock, I then added a SCRAP of purple card stock that was laying on the solid color scrap pile (you'll see below I used the remainder of that scrap to do a partial matting on my inside sentiment).   

For my floral accent I've used a topper by Hearty Crafts called Flower Bouquets (HC12891).
The sentiment is from an old Impression Obsession stamp set and I've added a few 'Violet Galaxy' Nuvo crystal drops for the finishing touch.

 Inside View


 I used one of the smaller stamps from the Simon Says 'Vintage Garden' (sss202395c) stamp set and Tim Holtz distress oxide ink 'villainous potion' to adorn the corners.

Here's what I've come up with . . .

 

I was recently going through some of my old 'special' dies and came across this old Sizzix (#660025) 'Hearts Step Up Card' and thought it would be fun to create with and use for today's card.

I also found this cute Hearty Crafts 'Birdhouses in Winter' (HC13434) topper.  From there I rummaged through my papers and found and found this red/white polka dot that tied in with the dots around the heart on the birdhouse heart opening.  

It just all seemed to come together ... the birds, the heart on the birdhouse, the hearts on the die ... and of course I just happened to have a sentiment die that worked perfectly too.  

It's a GOOD CRAFTING DAY!!
