A Birthday Card and Snow in my Craft Room

Happy Tuesday everyone.  We are on the countdown to winter break, and I think I am looking forward to it as much as my daughters.  Even though we don't celebrate Christmas, it will still be nice to have some lazy days with less running around.

I have a card today for this week's CAS(E) this Sketch CTS #57, using the colors from this week's ColourQ cQc #220.  I am also submitting to this week's Simon Says Monday Challenge to use a stamp.

I pulled out an old favorite for this card--Hello Friend--remember that one?  I love these flowers and the way the sentiment is incorporated into the flower image.

It may be a sunny 74 degrees outside here in San Diego, but in my craft room, it's all about the snow.  I have another tag set here, this one using one of my favorite images from Friendship Jar Holiday Fillers, as well as a style I have been seeing a lot of lately--two tags layered--a stamped top layer and a patterned paper layer peeking out from under.  I am entering these tags into the following challenges:  Curtain Call:  Sweet Snowflakes, CAS-ual Fridays CFC 123:  Let it Snow, Addicted to CAS:  Snowflakes, Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Let it Snow and Simon Says Monday Challenge to use a stamp.

I'll be back later to post the supplies.

Hey There

I never even put the glitter away after making these cards.  I had another idea for MIM#63:  Glittered Die Cuts, inspired by this beautiful card by Deanna of Kloset Creations.  

I used some very simple masking to stamp one of the images from Hello Friend down the side of my card using Lemon Tart, Harvest Gold, Orange Zest, Pure Poppy (which got covered in glitter), and Summer Sunrise.  I have to say I am so excited to have PTI inks in so many colors.  Then, I fussy cut the edge along the curves of the flowers.  I used some red glitter from Martha Stewart and PeelnStick double sided adhesive sheets to cover the Hello Friend flower die cut.

Supplies Used (PTI):
Stamps:  Hello Friend
Paper:  White, Summer Sunrise, Pure Poppy
Other:  Hello Friend Die, Orange Zest Button, Twine, MS Glitter
