Weekend Recap


I am still loving my new Avery Elle Tweet Tweet stamps, and it seemed the perfect set to use for a few challenges.  Avery Elle #25 has a rainbow challenge, Seize the Birthday is looking for animals as a topping, and Shop Our Stash #205 has a Cute Critter Alert.  I stamped all the birds, colored with Copics, coated all the beaks with Glossy Accents and then popped them up with foam tape.





I made a masculine birthday card using a Poppystamps birthday die for the Poppystamps #9 Oh Boy challenge using the colors from ColourMe #75.  I am also entering this card at Simply Create Too #87 Masculine.  I used a kraft die cut attached to a kraft base, and inlaid happy and birthday with Pure Poppy and Enchanted Evening die cuts.  My decorative stars are Sketched Stars dies from PTI.






My next card is inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #190 and the Butterfly challenge at Addicted to CAS #65.  I used LID stamps and dies and so am also entering at LID June Monthly Meetup.





My last card is for the Serendipity #44 My Guy Challenge and I am also entering it at Addicted to Stamps and More #148 holiday (Father's Day).  I used Serendipity Books stamp, one of my favorite of theirs, and stamped multiple times in a variety of masculine colors.  I then fussy cut and put it all back together, randomly alternating colors and dimension.






Thanks for Visiting

    Great cards Joyce. Looks like you had a very productive and fun weekend! Love those sweet birds, especially in the rainbow of colours. Your HB card in kraft is so creative and fun, love the accents of blue and red. And your butterfly card is so pretty with the colours and chevron-pattterned strip. And love our Father's day card with the stacked books --- awesome! Thanks for playing along at ATCAS. xx

    I'm popping in from ATSM but have got to say, your butterfly card is gorgeous, just love that patterned paper and the colours!! What a fantastic Fathers Day card, especially for one that loves to read. My Dad had books all over the place, so this would have been perfect. I really love the simpleness of the design and the book stamp is so detailed. So happy to see you at ATSM Joyce, its always a pleasure!!
