My Crafty Weekend

 

Hello and happy Sunday.  I've been crafty again, so let's get right to it.

First up is this very fun birthday card, inspired by the sketch at MFT Sketch Challenge #525.  I used hippos and birds from MFT Happy Hippos and another bird from Birthday Bear & Friends.  I am also entering this card at CAS on Friday #197: Animals, Use Your Stuff #414: Out with the Old (I've had these animal birthday sets from MFT for a long time, and still love them), and Seize the Birthday #206 (no twist).  Because I think this card would be perfect for a little boy, I am entering it at the Male Room #146: Animals and WWC305: Anything Goes Masculine Twist.

I don't know how it happened, but I have run out of new home cards.  I made a matching pair, inspired by a design I used years ago.  This first card will be headed to my niece tomorrow.  

This card is almost exactly the same, except for the blended background and placement of clouds.

I will be entering both of these cards at Use Your Stuff #414: Out with the Old (I used an old die called Home Scape from Sugar Pea) and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Make Your Own Background.

My next card is another for my stash of new home cards.  I was inspired by the challenge at Less is More #435: In a Row to pull out a new-to-me Scene It More from Clearly Besotted.

I was so excited to see the new challenge at Festive Friday #0076: Chinese New Year.  I had the perfect stamp set from Mama Elephant Ni Hao.  My younger daughter was supposed to be in Shanghai this semester, but it was canceled by covid.  I will still give her this card, and we will celebrate Chines New Year here in California.  The elements of the challenge I used on my card are red, gold and dragon.

I made 2 versions of the card, as I could not decide which parts should be red or white.

I am also entering these cards at WWC305: Anything Goes Masculine Twist.

I had so much fun playing with my newest stamps from Newton's Nook, Paw-some Birthday.  I used the colors from Inky Paws Challenge #140 and the sketch from The Paper Players #525.

I am also entering this card at Seize the Birthday #206 (no twist), and because I think this card would be perfect for a little boy, I am entering it at the Male Room #146: Animals and WWC305: Anything Goes Masculine Twist.

Switching gears for a moment, I have a few holiday cards to post.  I am entering both of these holiday cards at the new MFT Slimline Challenge, because I used MFT Delightful Deer dies.    I am also entering these cards at Addicted to Stamps and More #397: Christmas and Retro Rubber #150: Winter Wonderland (my sentiment stamp is at least 1 year old, and the deer and birds are several years old).

And, my last card today is this multi-colored village on a snowy night.  I am entering this card at Just Us Girls #568 (inspired by the snowy night in the village), Addicted to Stamps and More #397: Christmas, Addicted to CAS #189: Snow, and Kat Scrappiness January Winter Challenge.

My Crafty WEEK!

 

Hello and happy Sunday.  I've been stress-crafting all week, and now I am finally stopping to post everything.  I'm going to keep the writing to a minimum, as this is already going to be a long photo-heavy post.

First up is this fun snowy scene--a snowball fight in the early evening.  I am entering this card at Inkspirational #225: Night, Shopping Our Stash #432: Hot Drinks, Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Thinking of You.

One more card with some 'drinking buddies', this time using Skating Party by Hello Bluebird.  I am entering this card at Just Add Ink #530: Stamps-Ink-Paper (my images were stamped, fussy cut and colored).  I am also entering at Shopping Our Stash #432: Hot Drinks, Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Thinking of You.

Next up is a holiday card inspired by the sketch at MFT Sketch #514 and the Christmas challenge at CAS Friday #192.

The next 2 cards use a flipped and rotated take on the sketch at AAA Cards #178.  I am also entering at Retro Rubber #147: Anything Goes using a stamp set I have had for several years, Tim Holtz Wine Blueprint.

Next up is a series of birthday cards--and I am entering the lot of them at Seize the Birthday #203: Anything Goes and AAA Birthday #19: For a Child.  I am also entering this first card at Just Add Ink #530: Stamps-Ink-Paper (my images were stamped, fussy cut and colored).  

All of the following cards are from my crafty Panda-Fest earlier in the week.  They all use various panda themed stamp sets, and will be sent to my panda-loving mom to give to her panda-loving friends.  I am  entering them all at Retro Rubber #147: Anything Goes--and I have had all these stamps for 2 or 3 years.

I am entering my final two cards at the Stamplorations November Stencil Challenge.  I used the Stamplorations slimline Bamboo Stencil to create a backdrop for my anniversary pandas.
