Three Card Thursday

 

Hello and happy Thursday.  I'm popping in to share a few cards I've made this week.

First up is a card inspired by the current sketch at MFT Sketch Challenge #511.   I used images from MFT Our Story along with my new Let's Connect die and some paper from MFT Christmas Cheer for this fun card.

Still playing with that monitor die, I made a fun birthday card, and I am entering it at the MFT Birthday Project Challenge.  I used paper scraps for everything on my card front, including two bits of patterned paper, a piece of vellum to tone down the patterned paper, and scrap paper for all my die cuts.

I am also entering this card at Seize the Birthday #201: Use Your Scraps and WWC293.

Last up is a fun and spooky card in the spirit of Halloween.  I used some Halloween colors to cut out some glasses using Catherine Pooler Pet Specs dies, then adhered them to a piece of black card stock that I embossed with a spiderweb embossing folder.  A few pair of googlie eyes and some rhinestones completed this card.

I am entering this card at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Spooky, Inspired by #146: be my boo, Inkspirational #223: Angle it, and Shopping Our Stash #431: Happy Fall (Halloween says 'fall' to me).

My Crafty Weekend

Hello and happy Sunday.  Popping in with a quick post of 4 cards I made this weekend.  

First up is a card for the current challenge at Poppystamps Challenge #72: Cards for Kids, using the colors at Color Throwdown #612 (the colors in my photo are not true to life--the mice on the left are light aqua IRL and the squirrels and fox on the right are light blue). My sentiments are from PTI The Skinny (about the only thing skinny around here these days, what with quarantine baking, etc.) and they are probably 5 years old, so I am entering this card at Retro Rubber #144: Anything Goes.  I am also playing along at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Animal Antics, AAA Birthday #17: Animals & Critters and Watercooler Wednesday #290:  All About Occasions.

I used a few of the Poppystamps Whittle dies to create 3 mini scenes on my slimline card.  The slimline dies are from Mama Elephant, and I am finding that using windows, like the ones on this filmstrip, makes it much easier to make a slimline card--otherwise the card somehow seems too big to tackle.

Next up is a card featuring the adorable new foxes from Mama Elephant--Little Fox Agenda and Winter Fox.  All those foxes, plus a few tiny snowmen and birds are making themselves at home in the snowy forest created by the PTI Winter Woods cover plate die.

I am entering this card at AAA Birthday #17: Animals & Critters, Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Animal Antics. and Watercooler Wednesday #290:  All About Occasions.

For my next card, I turned my attention to the upcoming holidays and made a Christmas card and will enter this card at the Ink to Paper Challenge.  My design was inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #454, and I am entering this card at Retro Rubber #144: Anything Goes (my stamps are from 2015), Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Animal Antics and Watercooler Wednesday #290:  All About Occasions.

Last of all today is a card inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #391, and more specifically, Michele's inspiration card here.  I am also entering this card at Watercooler Wednesday #290:  All About Occasions.  My leaves are from The Greetery Petite Eucalyptus, and the texture on my boxes come from Lil Inkers Circles & Diamonds cover plate.  Always good to have a supply of sympathy cards, especially when I don't need one.

Well, that's it for me today.  Stay safe, and keep on crafting.
