2 Cards for Fun

With my kids back at school (finally), I had a bit of time to craft just for fun.  I made 2 cards inspired by a variety of challenges.

First up is this valentine.  I finally broke into the My Monthly Hero kit from May, 2019 to create this fun, knitting themed valentines day card.  I am entering it at A Blog Named Hero January Challenge:  Anything Goes, Freshly Made Sketches #419, Addicted to Stamps and More #373: Holiday (Valentines Day), and Simon Says Monday: Home Decor (knitted blanket).

My next card celebrates friendship with some cute Lawn Fawn birds from Feathered Friends.

I am playing along at Lawn Fawnatics #69:  For the Birds, Use Your Stuff #390: Friendship, Paper Players #475--(a pretty liberal interpretation of the sketch), and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Besotted by our Pets (My friend had a pet bird).

Seize the Birthday...Guest Designer...Knitted Stencil

Hello there.  I am back with another card for the latest Seize the Birthday challenge.  In case you were wondering, I will be the Surprise Guest Designer through the end of February.

This week, our challenge is to use STENCILS.  Stencils are so quick and easy and can really add impact to a card.  I don't know why I don't use them more often.

I used the Knit Wits stencil from The Greetery to create a stenciled background on my card front.  I added this adorable mushroom and knitting mouse from Gettin' Cozy from The Greetery, and my card was done.  I stamped the sentiment in red to tie in to the mushroom, and also to make sure it was easy to see.

I hope you will pull out your stencils and play along with us at Seize the Birthday this week.  Remember, Stencils is an optional topping, and you are always welcome to play along with any birthday card you make.

I look forward to seeing what you create.
