I feel like it has been a long time since I had a large group of cards to post as a result of weekend fun in the craft room--today is the day.
First up is a bunch of cards inspired by Kay's beautiful card at Muse #231.

| Kay's Inspiration Card |
I am also entering this card at CAS on Sunday #107: Use glitter or sequins (I used sequins).
I made another version of the same card, using different die cuts from Grans Garden. I am entering this card at Time Out #82: Flowers (where I am on the DT).
While I had all the buildings from City Scene set up in my Misti, I made a few Father's Day cards. Why should the Mother's Day cards get all the fun, right?
I am entering this card at Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes and Addicted to Stamps and More #239: Clean and Simple.
My parents as well as my In-Laws are all from New York, so I think they will appreciate the New York themed cards.
The sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #285 inspired my next card. I flipped the sketch.
Last up is a pair of cards I made with the Bloom & Grow kit.
The first card is inspired by CAS(E) this Sketch #219, and I used the Stenciled Water Color Background technique from Make it Monday #282.
You can pull the flowers up to see the sentiment.
One more card from Bloom & Grow, this one using the patterned paper in the kit.
That's it for me this weekend.
Thanks for Visiting
Wow Joyce, what a stunning display of cards! I love that city scene and it's such an unique idea to pair those stamps with flowers. All your cards are so well designed and pretty. What an effective crafty weekend you've had!
ReplyDeleteWow you have been busy! I adore all these city scenes but my fav is the one with the red building, like the pop of colour. And what a great design being able to pull out the flowers, sure looks like you had a fun weekend x
ReplyDeleteWell all your cards are bright and beautiful! Love the pops of colour on the city scene you've linked up at AAA Cards. Thanks for playing.
ReplyDeleteWow, these are all fabulous, Joyce! I especially love how you made so many cards with the City Scene background!
ReplyDeleteWow you have had some real quality craft time! Love the gray/light background-city combined with the flowers too...a great idea and all beautiful! The one with the car is such a funny one! A real treat to come here today! Think you have a lot of beautiful ideas! Hugs, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteWOOOOW!! What a creative weekend, Joyce! LOVE those cityscape cards with their subtle grey skylines and bold pops of colour. They honestly look brilliant!! Thank heavens for MISTIs, taking the pain out of stamp positioning! xx
ReplyDeleteJoyce, you sure have been busy making these beautiful cards. And a good idea using City Scene as a background stamp! I had to laugh when I read your comment that you checked my blog first before making your card for MIM - can we help it if great, creative minds think alike?
ReplyDeleteI love the masculine/feminine take on the Muse, Joyce - so clever! Thanks for joining us this week!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your output is phenomenal and it's fun to see all the variety today, Joyce! You used a set that I have not used but once. City Scene is a great choice for feminine/masculine cards.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!!! What a gorgeous take on Kays beautiful card, Joyce! I love each and ever one! Stunning mothers day cards! The first two cards are my favorites if I had to pick :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Joyce, you have been a very busy stamper creating all these beauties. I, too, loved that card of Kay's but hadn't tried it yet. You did a super job with hers as inspiration. Beautiful Mother's Day cards and very appropriate masculine cards for Father's Day.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful collection of cards, Joyce! I love how you played with the New York cityscape and the clever way you created Mother's Day and Father's Day cards! Looks like your MISTI got a great workout :) I also love how you played with the Bloom & Grow kit...so lovely!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards! I love how you changed up the Mother's Day cards to Father's Day!
ReplyDeleteJoyce these are so amazing!! I love each and every design but my favorite is your take on Kay's card! Outstanding!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great set of cards! Love all of those flowers! So springy and cheery! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful group of cards. Love the New York buildings scenes, though I've never been there. I especially love the second Father's Day card.
ReplyDeleteWhat awesome cards. Each one is a delight I love the background buildings. What a subtle background. Thanks for all the cards. I just love it when someone shows how to use a stamp multiple times.
ReplyDeleteYour weekends are so productive! Love all these fabulous cards! Beautiful blooms and your cityscape scenes are awesome!
ReplyDeleteWow....simply stunning collection of beautiful floral cards! Love you sweet Father's Day cards too but all those gorgeous flowers are just amazing! I am falling in love with Gran's Garden after seeing all your amazing creations and what a fabulous idea for a Mother's Day card. I do plan to case you on these, can't wait to be crafty now!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous collection of cards Joyce - you certainly had a productive weekend!!! Thanks for coming to play at ATSM and I hope you will join us again soon.

When you get going the inspirations just keep coming. These are fabulous, Joyce. I love the flowers that remove from the pot to show the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun bright and beautiful card, Joyce. I love the Kraft. Thanks for playing along at AAA Cards.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE all of your city scene cards! Fantastic! I love them all too, but the red building and cars on the kraft is just awesome!!! Great Mother's and Father's Day cards. The Bloom and Grow cards are fabulous too. Love the way the sentiment is revealed. What a productive weekend!!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a wonderful crafty time you had, Joyce ... these are all fabulous! Love how you 'extended' the use of that brilliant cityscape ... and adore those lovely interactive florals in their pots! Hugs, Anita :)
