Did I Really Make 6 Cards Today?



I had a few uninterrupted hours this morning and nothing to do but play with my stamps.   Bits and pieces of time later in the day, and before I knew it, I had made 6  cards.  I figured I'd better stop for the day and get everything posted, so here I am.



These are the final hours of this week's Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes challenge, so I am entering all of these cards.




First up is my card for this week's Muse Challenge #7, where Laurie Willison is our Muse.  Isn't her card just gorgeous?  










I am linking this next card up for three different challenges--The Twinery #TT002 to use chevron and green, Hero Arts to make a 'hello' card, and The Washi Tape Challenge in the Moxie Fab world.  I took some blue and green striped and polka dotted washi tape and adhered it in stripes to a piece of white cardstock.  Then, I cut different sized chevrons and adhered them to my card base.  Then, I stamped a Hero Arts 'hello' sentiment twice.







My next card is for this week's ColourQ cQc #179 as well as the Emphasize the Negative Challenge in the Moxie Fab world. 




The next three cards are just for fun--things I wanted to try.

I wanted to try gold embossing on patterned paper, like Maile Belles did here.  And, I wanted to play with my Aloha set, since it has been a long time since that set has seen ink.












And, I can't seem to stop playing with my Irresistibly Ikat set.  I was inspired by this card by Debbie Olson--that gal is magic with colors.  I will be linking this one up to CAS-ual Fridays CFC92:  Wallpaper. 





And, this last card is just me messing around.



I am too tired to write all my supplies, but please do let me know if you have any questions.



Thanks for Visiting

  9. Joyce, your WALLPAPER cards are my ABSOLUTE favorite! A true WINNER in my book. Love the retro bohemian bold colors. So fun and so reminiscent for me (and my husband as I made him look at your cards!!) of wallpaper and designer graphics!

  11. Joyce! It's been a crazy week with non-stamping stuff (what?!? I know!) so I haven't been around, but I just saw this in the CAS-ual Fridays gallery and had to stop to comment. LOVE your green ikat card! The large scale tone on tone really makes it look like it could be a wallpaper. Thanks so much for being a part of the CASual Fridays Challenge!

    PS, what a great selection of cards from your AM hours!
