My Crafty Week



Hello friends.  I have several cards to share today.  As soon as I saw Kim's adorable inspiration card at Muse Challenge #258, I knew I had to play along. 

Kim's Inspiration Card


I was inspired by the balloons and pandas.  I decided to do something very similar with penguins, another black and white animal.  I used colors from this week's Color Throwdown Challenge #485.




I used a new-to-me stamp set from STAMPlorations called Fowl Play to enter the bird challenge at Addicted to CAS #132.  I stamped a line up of those adorable birds and then colored them with Copics.  I am also entering this card at AAA Cards #111: Use Only One Third.





This week on PTI Transformation Tuesday, Lizzie showed how she redid a card using Text Block Birthday.  That gave me the idea to take a very masculine card I had made using that same die and redo it as a feminine card. 

Original Card


I am also entering this card at Retro Rubber #82: Tic Tac Toe.  I used the diagonal:  Birthday, Die-cut, Embossing.  My stamps, die, and embossing plate are 2 years old. 




Last up is a Mother's Day card that I made using flowers from The Sweet Life and one of the Mix & Mat dies from PTI.  I am entering this card at The Flower Challenge #18: Anything Goes and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Floral Frenzy.





Thanks for Visiting

  23. I always love coming here to check out your cards Joyce cause I know it will never be one card but a collection of cards. Love your penguins with their nightcaps on and then your other cards particularly that beautiful floral card with the trellis look behind the flowers, then the short and tall birds and that wonderful birthday die. All reminders of stamps and dies I have and need to use. Fabulous.
