Joyful Greetings
Today, I wanted to play along with two terrific challenges, CAS-ual Fridays and Curtain Call. The CAS Christmas theme was one I couldn’t resist:
Here is the card I created:
Yes, I used that same ribbon again. I just love how delicate it looks. I think I have to practice more with my gold embossing without melting my fingers or desk! Ha! Thanks so much for stopping by! xo- Tyra

Love, Part 2
Here is my third post of the day, and the second entry into the Ready-Made Embellishment Challenge in the Moxie Fab World. I couldn’t stay away from creating another quick card with this cute Bella Blvd paper I found:
I die cut a piece of patterned paper to serve as the background. I also cut banners from the card stock and stick papers. I topped everything off with the “I love you” sentiment sticker. I scored the kraft card stock with several lines to add some texture. I hope you can see it in this photo. That’s all for me. Take care! xo- Tyra
Love, Part 1
I’m playing along with the Ready-Made Embellishment Challenge in the Moxie Fab World and I created a card using some fun elements from Bella Blvd:
It was super easy to die cut the paper using my favorite curvy die from Simon Says Stamp and add the ready-made banner. Super CAS and super quick! Thanks so much for stopping by! Love, Part 2 coming soon! xo- Tyra
Giving Thanks
Happy Monday! Today I am playing along with the Metal, Wood, & Cork Challenge in the Moxie Fab World AND
The latest CASE Study:
I love all of the wood grain! So, using the wood grain as a source of inspiration, I created the following card:
I used a little faux wood grain paper as a background for the embossed sentiment. I used a real wood heart, from Studio Calico. The sentient, and colored card stock and cute sequin are all from the Simon Says Stamp card kit. Simon Says Stamp also has a curvy die I used to cut the bluish card stock. I love it! The copper polka dot leaves were die cut from SEI card stock.
That’s all for now. Thanks so much for stopping by! xo- Tyra

So Awesome
Today, I’m playing along with the Moxie Fab World Challenge: Metal, Wood & Cork. I thought to myself “metal, wood and cork? what in the world will I create?” I ended up creating a super simple card that I love — from the texture of the paper to the shiny metal clip, the faux cork tape and the wood heart. This card makes a great masculine card. I think I’ll save it for the husband:
Thanks so much for stopping by! Take care, xo — Tyra
