Seven Cards, Really?



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.



I used the Lattice Frame die by WPlus9 and the Blossoming Buds stamps by Paper Smooches.  I love that the flowers are already arranged in this stamp set.  All I have to do is just color them in.


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

  9. Wow, 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!

  10. I 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!

  25. All 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!
