Happy Easter to all my friends who celebrate. Things around here are pretty quiet. Not much to do but craft on Easter weekend if you are Jewish. I decided I'd better take a break, post what I have made, and clean up. It's a pretty nice day here, so I think we will all head down to the beach for a nice walk later.
First up is a baby card that I made with my new Hello Foxy set as well as some paper scraps from Echo Park Hello Summer. This card is for Retro Sketches rs#57 and Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes. I did a little paper piecing on the fox, and the heart is popped up and covered with Glossy Accents.
Next up, another baby card, this one for this week's Dynamic Duos DD# 46. I used Autumn Rose as my deep pink, and Memento Angel Pink for my 2nd color choice. I was inspired by this card by Christina. I used Watercolor Wonder for the stripes, and Whale Wishes for everything else.
One more card for Dynamic Duos. This time, my 2nd color choice was Simply Chartreuse. I wanted to play around with my new Waltzingmouse Camellia set that I won.
Next up is another card inspired by Christina. I am linking up to this week's ColourQ cQc #182 and the Chevon Challenge in the Moxie Fab World. I've got chevrons on my Happy Harlequins, and they are stamped in a chevron pattern--double chevrons today. This card is also for this week's One Layer Wednesday challenge to use a shape repeatedly on a one layer card.
My next card is for this week's CASology week 37, where the key word is 'hope'. I used Amuse Fight Like A Girl and Paper Smooches Hope to make this card I hope I never have to use. Edited to add--bummer, I missed the CASology deadline...
This card uses Hibiscus Burst and Winter Wisteria. I omitted the white embossing on the smaller buds, because there would have been almost no color showing if I didn't.
These next two cards use Hibiscus Burst, Berry Sorbet and Hawaiian Shores.
Well, that's it for me for this weekend, so far. I'm not going to type up all the supplies, but please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks for Visiting
Wow! You've been busy! I love the sunrise embossed on your hope card - so beautiful and perfect for the cue card. I'm glad you played along (but sorry you missed the deadline!)
ReplyDeleteWow, you have been busy! I can't make that many cards in a week! They are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteJoyce, you have been a busy bee this weekend and now I understand why your desk was such a mess. How fun though to spend your time being crafty! Each one of your cards is amazing but my favorites are your little fox card, he is just too darn cute and your new Camellia set is stunning! I love that you added those sweet little pearls to the centers, just beautiful. Your Hope card is a winner to me, too bad you did not get in posted in time. I love how you added that sunshine embossing to the background, it really adds so much depth to your beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteEight cards...wow! It looks like you were very busy while many of us were stuffing our faces with ham and chocolates...and a walk on the beach? Sounds perfect to me. I love all of your cards, but the one that really jumped out at me was the cute little whale and perfect pink waves using Watercolor Wonder. That was so smart and those paint swipes make perfect waves. I agree with Kim, love that sunshine embossing on the Hope card...it is beautiful Joyce.
ReplyDeleteJoyce your cards are fantastic - especially the shapes card - stunning! My next favorites are the Hibiscus Burst cards - so clever to white emboss over the flowers!
ReplyDeleteWow, you've been super busy, my friend! Your cards are fabulous, one and all!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a good Passover! Peace be with you!
So happy to see you had a lovely crafty weekend. Hope you got to walk on the beach.
ReplyDeleteThese cards are ALL so amazing, Joyce. Love the watercolor effect on the last three and those baby cards are just the cutest!
You had one rocking weekend Joyce! I don't even know where to start! All of your cards are gorgeous and so super super creative. The chevrons are brilliant, you know I love the Piestra die and especially with the Pretty Peonies. I would have picked that CASology card for sure--gorgeous. Love your WM card and I hope that cute little fox is in my mailbox tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed with how much you have accomplished. That whale on the pink stripes is so cute. And the fox! Adorable.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful day! A walk by the beacch sounds lovely!! Love your one layer card with the diamonds!! Those watercolor peonies are just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteFabulous paper piecing! Baby cards are my favorite to make and both of yours are adorable. Just lovin' that starburst harlequin card-fantastic! And the water color cards are lovely!
ReplyDeleteFantastic line-up of cards, Joyce - you've had a busy weekend crafting! I'm envious. ;-) Beautiful job on all your cards. Thank you for joining us at Dynamic Duos - great color choices!
ReplyDeleteUmmm, I think you have outdone yourself here, which given your track record of multi-card posts, is really saying a lot. Midway through, I was scrolling up to see if I had missed the line between posts!!
ReplyDeleteOK, things that caught my eye:
1) colorful stripes on the fox (ah-dore!)
2) pink paintbrush background for a baby card (brilliantly soft!)
3) patterned chevron designs
4) red and blue bleed roses
So glad you shared your productive weekend with us : )
Another post full of amazing cards. I don't know how you find the time. Thanks for joining us at Dynamic Duos this week.
ReplyDeleteYour last card is beyond stunning! LOVE the colors - and the tile diecut - really a little masterpiece! I'm loving all your cards made with the paintbrush stripe too - starting to think about adding this to my collection!

ReplyDeleteHey Joyce! Thanks for linking this up to the Chevron Challenge in the Moxie Fab World! I'm so glad you joined in on all the fun! :)
ReplyDeleteSeems like you did spend all of Easter in your craft room. What a great selection of cards.
ReplyDeletethe ones that wowed me were:
the sunrise impression on the Hope card
the gorgeous colors and layout of the chevron card
the beautiful colors of those peonies with that wonderful background die.
All of these cards are great but I think the hello foxy card is my favourite ( can see you are a pp expert now).
ReplyDeleteWow you've been busy!! Your paper pieced fox is adorable - I love the striped cheeks! Both your Cristina CASEs are fabulous and I especially love the second one - awesome way to use that chevron stamp. Love the embossed background on your Hope card - bummer you missed the deadline... Your watercolour cards are gorgeous - love the red and blue together.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I'm not so good with keeping up with your posts especially when you always leave me so many sweet comments on my blog. I really apprecite it. :)
Wow you have been busy, your cards are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing them with us at Dynamic Duos.
ReplyDeleteAll these cards are wonderful! But you know already which my favorite is the OLW card...diamonds and parallelograms, oh MY!!!! The colors, the design, the large image running off the edges of the card...all so perfect! Thanks so much for sharing all your amazing talent!!!
