Birthdays, Sunshine and Books

Hello and happy Tuesday.  I have a really CAS card to share using the colors from Color Throwdown (which I missed the deadline for!) and the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #385.  I hand drew the strings on the balloons as my doodles for Less is More #426: Doodles.  I am also entering this card at Cupcake Inspirations #500 and Seize the Birthday #197 (no toppings).

This next card features some wonderful buildings from a Mama Elephant City Sidewalks, and I have layered it up with some snow drifts, cloud dies and a sun.  I am entering this card at Shopping Our Stash #427: Pile it On and Retro Rubber #141: Anything Goes (my stamps are 2-3 years old).

Last up is this slimline card, using the same houses from the card above plus a trees and mountains from Mama Elephant Build a Scene.  I am entering this card at The Paper Players #504: CAS Back to School (School is different for my oldest daughter, as she will be studying on line from her Grandmother's apartment in New York city), Just Add Ink #518 (trees), Use Your Stuff #403: Books and Retro Rubber #141: Anything Goes (my stamps are 2-3 years old).

That's it for me.  Please stay safe and craft on!!

Thanks for Visiting

Hello There and Happy Birthday

Hello and happy Tuesday.  I'm popping in quickly to share 2 cards I made this week.  First up is a card inspired by the colors at The Paper Players #503 and the challenge at Simon Says Monday: Summer Memories (last summer, we went to Portugal, and these multi colored houses on a hillside remind me of Porto).

I used a stamp from Mama Elephant Scene Builders and colored with Copics.

My next card was inspired by the sketch challenge at Inky Paws #129 and Just Us Girls #548: Die Cut a Window.  I made a slimline card using the cats from Newton's Nook Book Club and also the snuggling cat and dog together from Porch Swing Friends.

I used Slim Line Window Dressing dies from Mama Elephant to cut the windows and curtains for my sweet critters.

I am finding that the slimline cards are a bit tough to photograph.  Here are some close ups of each of the three windows.

The middle window.

And the final window on the right.
