Hello there. I am popping in with a mid-week post with some cards for a few different challenges and 2 different card drives.
My first two cards are for the Anything Goes challenge over at Paper Smooches Sparks this week, and I am also sending them off to MD Anderson Cancer Center for the HYCCT challenge--this one is to create a sweetly romantic card.
My next card is also for the HYCCT challenge--this one is to use music, birds or hearts.
While I had my Little Bitty Bird and LBB Additions stamps out, I decided to make another card for the same HYCCT challenge, but this time, I made it a one layer card featuring some bird houses. I am entering this card into the One Layer Simplicity Challenge #11 Home, Sweet Home and CAS on Sunday #45 One Layer Wonder.
As one thing leads to another...since I was now thinking of one layer cards, I made another card for the One Layer Simplicity Challenge #11 Home, Sweet Home. This card uses a ghost stamping technique that I saw here on the Caring Hearts blog hop. Of course, my card will also be sent along to the Caring Hearts card drive. I am also playing along with Festive Friday , Colour Me #45 and CAS on Sunday #45 One Layer Wonder.
One more card for the One Layer Simplicity Challenge #11 Home, Sweet Home challenge, CAS on Sunday #45 One Layer Wonder challenge and Caring Hearts, using the Winter Wishes stamps.
And, last for today is a card for this week's ColourQ cQc #266 and Caring Hearts.
Thanks for Visiting

ReplyDeleteWowsers you've been busy! That lattice die is really gorgeous and I know what you mean about the PS stamp already having the flowers arranged - that would save me a good hour! LOL! Love to see the Bitty Birds out and about and those one layer house cards are so yummy!

ReplyDeleteShazam Joyce!!! Where to begin...okay at the beginning!! The floral cards, the lattice...SWOON!! Everything is just fabulous, what a pleasure to see all of your creativity today!!
ReplyDeleteWow, seven cards! You've really been busy! The flowers on the lattice look fantastic and I love all your one layer designs. My favorite though is the last one. Love that snowflake die cut!
ReplyDeleteI am still unsure that you don't have a shed out back, or a storage unit down the street for all your cards. But you did take photos and kindly write that post on your storage set up, so I have to go with that! The ghost stamping is a cool technique. Love how your cozy Christmas card has the trees and houses all nestled together in a very ... COZY ... manner. And, the few pieces you put back on your last card make it so dramatic!
ReplyDeleteWOW! All are such sweet cards!!! Thanks for joining us at CAS on Sunday!
ReplyDeleteI love your cards, Joyce! My favourites are the 5th & 6th ones -- those sweet little houses & trees are so cute! Who makes that stamp?
ReplyDeleteGreat CAS cards, Joyce! Love the sweet little house & tree images and the ghost stamped card has amazing dimension from that technique.
ReplyDeleteLove the shadow stamping on your FF card! It really makes the red pop! So glad you joined us at Festive Friday!

ReplyDeleteWow--so much creativity! Love how you used that lattice die with the flowers, Joyce!
ReplyDeleteJust what I needed ... a dose of Joyce-inspiration! Such brilliant cards, Joyce ... the lattice ones are soooo pretty and I love those sweet little houses (for birds and people)! Anita :)

What a great selection of Christmas cards! I love the ghost stamping you used on your Winter home card - it adds real dimension to your one layer card. Thanks for joining us over at Colour Me...! this week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of pretty cards, Joyce, I like the overlay that is diecut in the last card. Thanks for joining in the fun at the colourQ.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being in the top 3 for you CAS card...it is just so adorable.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful cards Joyce. I'm visiting from One-Layer Simplicity. I saw your cards there. Your "Cozy Christmas" card is precious. And so clean and simple!
ReplyDeleteAll your cards are great, Joyce, but I particularly love your one-layer cards! They are perfect for the OLS challenge, and I love how different they look! The details of the birdie scene are amazing...love how you balanced so many elements! The ghost stamping with pink on kraft is delightful, and the crisp, clean perfection of the cozy Christmas card is fabulous! Thank you so much for sharing these on the OLS challenge!
