My Crafty Weekend

 

Hello and happy Sunday.  I've got lots of crafty stuff to share today.

I pulled out my old PTI Warmest Wishes stamps and dies to create my first card.  I an entering this card at Melissa's Fab Friday challenge to make a Critter Card--My critters are a bear and a fox. I am also entering this card at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Fun with Dies.

Up next are a pair of cards I made using the sketch at MFT Sketch Challenge #518 (2nd card flips the sketch) and the colors from MFT Color Challenge #154.  I am also entering these cards at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Fun with Dies.

I used the MFT Drifts stencil to mask an area off to create my diagonal 'road'.  For the first card, I sponged distress ink in twisted citron, then put a Dreamweaver Faux Cross-Stitch stencil over it all and sponged with a darker Green.

I flipped the sketch for this card, as the panda I wanted to use was headed in the other direction.  I masked my 'road' off the same way as for the previous card, but used a brick stencil on the unmasked area.  The sentiment is from MFT A Toast To You, but I thought it would be fitting for these pandas going on some unexpected adventures.

I rotated and used the sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch #400 for my next card.  Don't those cookies look delicious and adorable?  I am also playing along at The Paper Players #520, where I am inspired by the plate of Christmas cookies, and Fusion Merry, Joy, Cheer, where I am inspired by the cookie jars in the photo.

My next two cards are inspired by the challenge at Stay Crafty With Hero #17: Thank Your Cards,  A Blog Named Hero: Glitter and Sparkle, and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Fun with Dies.  The snow on my first card was made with glitter embossing paste and a falling snow stencil, and I am also entering this card at CAS on Friday #194: Snow.

I used some more of this metallic shine paper on this second card, and had the usual difficulties taking a photo.

It seems like I still have an inclination to make a few more tags, so I am playing along at Ellen Hutson 12 Tags of Christmas 2020.   My Tag for Day 1 is inspired by the scene with buildings and the round shape of Sandy's sample tag, as well as the 'Christmas in the City' portion of Silver Bells.  This tag was so quick to make, so I am entering it at AAA Cards #180: Made in Minutes + Christmas.  I white heat embossed some of the buildings from Concord & 9th City Stacks, cut a quick mask and was then able to sponge the buildings in red and the sky in purple. adding falling snow with some white paint.

My card for Day 2 is inspired by Ardyth's Gingerbread Man and Little Drummer Boy song.
