Two Quick Cards

 

Hello and happy Tuesday.  I am popping in quickly to post 2 cards I created today.  One of the challenges is ending, so I will be quick.

So many challenges involve hearts or love, so I made this card using MFT Heart Balloon dies and the colors at MFT Color Challenge #158.  And, yes, I am still putting pandas on practically everything I do!  I am also entering this card at Shopping Our Stash #438: Love is in the Air, Use Your Stuff #415: Hearts, Happy Little Stampers CAS: Love is In the Air, Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Love and/or Hearts, and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge:  Anything Goes.

I am joining in on the 9th birthday celebration at Uniko stamps.  Happy Birthday to Uniko!!  I used Uniko Mid Century Modern stamps and the colors at CAS Colours & Sketches #405 to make my birthday card.  My gemstone accents are green, although they are not really showing up as green in this photo.

My Crafty Weekend

Hello and happy Sunday.  Are you watching the Super Bowl?  I am going to watch the commercials, and read my book in between commercials.

I had a Super Crafty weekend.  Here goes...

Vicki's Inspiration Card

I was inspired by the trio of 3 colored critters in Vicki's adorable inspiration card at Muse #251.  I broke out my MFT Polar Bears for this birthday card.  I gave the bear in the front a stylish teal scarf and trendy teal skates, and will enter this card at Addicted to CAS #129:  Teal and Addicted to Stamps and More #277: Make Your Mark.

My next card is inspired by the Candles topping option at Seize the Birthday, the colors at Color Throwdown #478, and the Color Me Pretty challenge at CAS on Friday #125.

I loved this week's sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch #257, and hope to try another one this week.  Here's what I made yesterday.  I am also entering this card at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge Anything Goes.

PTI Make it Monday #311 is all about using different types of paper.  I used some cork paper as well as a page from a book I bought in Italy several years ago for paper crafting purposes.  I used the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #322.

Switching gears a little, there are so many challenges this week about love and Valentines day.  I pulled out some of my heart dies.  First up is a card using MFT Heart Balloon dies and SSS Handwritten Borders as the string.  I was originally inspired by the sketch at this week's Fusion challenge.  My card went a bit off the rails for the sketch, but I will try again later in the week to see if I can get closer.   I am also entering this card at Just Us Girls #426: Love and AAA Cards #108: All You Need is Love.

Last up....one more Valentine...  I inset the heart on the left and stacked 3 die cuts for the heart on the right for more texture on the card.  I am entering this card at Paper Players #379: Valentine and Just Add Ink #394:  Romance.
