Hello. I have been working on lots of fun cards, but I needed to take a pause because a couple of challenges are ending soon.
Sorry for the dark photo, but my camera does not like Summer Sunshine (or any other yellow/orange color). I was inspired by several challenges for this card.
I am also entering this card at Inkspirational #99 Thank You with Something New and Just Us Girls #324 Thank You.
Next up is a trio of cards. I started with the idea to use my Quilt Cuts dies from WPlus9 for their Throwback Thursday #10 challenge and decided to use the colors from CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #155.
I needed to die cut three different colors of paper, so decided to make three cards so I would not have any wasted pieces.
I am also entering one of these cards at The Male Room #26 Anything Goes.
Last up is actually the first card I made, inspired by this fun card by my friend Michele over at Muse #147.

| Michele's Inspiration Card |
I pulled out PTI On Ice and some patterned paper to make a birthday card for my neice who is a figure skater.
You can see that I was inspired by Michele's design, her use of patterned paper, an oval focal point and a die cut popped up next to the sentiment.
I am also entering this card at Curtain Call Frozen, and Seize the Birthday Anything Goes.
Thanks for Visiting
Great cards!!

ReplyDeleteJoyce,
ReplyDeleteI see you still are busy making multiple cards at a time. Love the one you did for your niece. I am sure she is going to love it. Personalizing birthday cards are the best. I try but don't always have the right stamp. However, I do have tons of birthday stamps so I tend to use them
Beautiful cards, Joyce! Love you Muse design--such great colors!
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt cards, especially making three so as not to waste any card. It's a great demonstration of the effect that changing colours has. Thanks for joining us at CC&S this week. Liz x

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful array of creations, all of which are inspirational. I love the simplicity of your 2nd and 3rd cards using the CC&S colours, stunning and striking. Thanks so much for sharing and for joining in on the CC&S challenge. Hugs Bev x
ReplyDeleteWhere to start, Joyce, where to start? I guess I'll start with the quilt cards since I love quilts and made one for the challenge, too. Yours are so crisp and clean and the sentiments fit perfectly underneath them. The stacked Thanks is so bright and cheery and the skate card is perfect for your niece. I love the colors and dp you used on it.
ReplyDeleteAll of these are stunning and so impeccably made, Joyce! You are really on a roll creatively and really rocked the challenges!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteOh my, Joyce, you have been busy! Cool, frosty, ice-skating take on Michele's muse ... gorgeous graphic set of quilted squares ... and that delicious stacked sentiment with those sweet blooms scattered round it ... simply lovely! Bon dimanche! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteThey are all super cards. Absolutely love the trio of cards with the quilt die. Clean, simple, graphic and just fab! Great work. Thanks so much for playing along with our Anything Goes challenge at The Male Room!
ReplyDeleteAdding my voice to the others in complimenting your amazing selection of cards, Joyce, each one so wonderfully splendid! The stacked Thanks..so pretty, especially with the spring colours! So glad you shared it in the Ink gallery. The quilted cards *work*, as I feel my spirits lifted in seeing them! And your skates: an innovative take on Michele's Muse card! So pretty!

I love how you chose ice skates for your take on Michele's card...so fun, and the color combo is fabulous! You've also done an amazing job with your Quilt Cuts! I love that even though they are the same color combo, each card takes on its' own personality...very cool! Lastly, your stacked Thanks is so pretty! I love how you placed the blooms on this card...they add so much movement to your design! Awesome post, as always :)
