Hello and happy Sunday. I was crafty all week, and have many cards to share, so I will jump right in. First up are a few cards I made when I pulled out Concord & 9th Cool Treats. I pulled these stamps and dies out after I saw the inspiration photo at Inspired by....cool treats, and I will be linking all of my popsicle cards up at this challenge.
First up is my favorite of the bunch ( I think). I followed the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #378 and am also linking up at Inkspirational #216: Sketch.
My next Cool Treats card is inspired by the challenge at AAA Cards #168. In case it is not obvious, the little die cuts are snow cones.
I was inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #441 and am also entering this card at Inkspirational #216: Sketch.
This one is just for fun, using one of my favorite color combinations, and I will enter it at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge Anything Goes.
My next card hits all the current MFT challenges...Wednesday Sketch #495, MFT Color Challenge #144, and The Birthday Project: Party Scene. I used these adorable baking mice from Sweet Shop. I am also entering this card at Inkspirational #216: Sketch.
I was inspired by the sketch at Inky Paws #126, and I used a dog from Canine Christmas. You wouldn't know this was a Christmas dog from the way I colored him. I am also entering this card at Inkspirational #216: Sketch and The Male Room #139: Use Die Cuts.
Maybe my most challenging design is next--trying to create a one layer card for the Stay Crafty With Hero #11: One Layer Card. Lots of masking, sponging, blending and stenciling. I am also entering this at A Blog Named Hero: Combine Old and New...Old is the birthday sentiment, and new are the stamps from Pier at the Lake.
Last up is a punny birthday card, inspired by the challenge at Seize the Birthday #193: Watercoloring, A Blog Named Hero: Combine Old and New--Old is the sentiment and fish die cuts and new is the Wave and Sea die, and Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #163: W is for Water.
And one more card, just for fun--it is the first card I have made from The Greetery Fresh Air. I will enter it at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge Anything Goes.
That's it for me today. Hope everyone has a good week.
Thanks for Visiting
Oh my goodness....so many beautiful and wonderful cards Joyce! Love each and everyone of them. But your sweet baking mice are simply darling and I would love to have a taste of those yummy cupcakes they are frosting!
ReplyDeleteWoweeee, you've been extra crafty busy and the results are fantastic! Love all of the frosty treat cards, especially the one you added to our IB gallery!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun group of cards!! I love all of the cold popsicles and ice cream cones. Your puppy, mice and water cards are just darling too. Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
ReplyDeleteI made A card today! Not quite as many as you. ;) I love all the uses of that C&9 turnabout set! I could also tell right away they were snow cones - although if we were in Hawaii (I wish) they could also be shave ice. :P I'm so glad you included Inkspirational, Snarky, and Seize the Birthday in your cardmaking inspirations!
ReplyDeleteAwesome group of cards!!! So fun! Thanks for sharing with us at Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! ((HUGS)) Helen

I came over for a closer look at your first card, which I find totally awesome with all the different sized ice creams in beautiful summery colors that make them look so tasty. But I’m so impressed by these other cards as well, certainly no lack of mojo here... Thanks for joining our challenge at Inkspirational.
