I hope everyone had a nice weekend. We had a very quiet weekend, staying home to avoid the crowds at the beach.
My first card is inspired by the following challenges: Melissa's Fab Friday Feature to make a Hello project, Just Us Girls #543: Rainbow, Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Bright and Cheerful, and Retro Rubber #138: Anything Goes. I used Up and Away stamps and dies by PTI, and they must be at least 10 years old.
My next card is inspired by all of the current challenges at MFT: The Birthday Project, MFT Sketch Challenge #496, and MFT Color Challenge #144. I am also playing along at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Bright and Cheerful, Retro Rubber #138: Anything Goes (my Hippo stamps are at least 4 years old) and Seize the Birthday #194: No Topping.
The following 3 cards were all initiated by the challenge at AAA Cards #169: Made in Minutes. I started looking through my Hero Arts stamps, so I could also also play along at Stay Crafty with Hero #11: One Layer Cards and quickly made this trio of cards. As all my stamps are quite old, all between 5 and 9 years, I'd guess, I'll be playing along at Retro Rubber #138: Anything Goes. In fact, every single card I am posting today is made with stamps I've had in my stash for a long time. It feels really good to pull out these old friends to play.
This card was so quick to make--two stamps and just a touch of masking to keep it one layer.
The next two cards involve the twist of Christmas in July. This sweater-wearing moose is one of my favorite images, and I was able to quickly make this card with just a bit of masking and some quick coloring.
This next card is also an old favorite that hasn't seen ink for a really long time. It was so quick to make as the Winter Trees cling stamp is so large and detailed.
Thanks for Visiting
