My Crafty Week

Hello friends.  I have several cards to share today.  As soon as I saw Kim's adorable inspiration card at Muse Challenge #258, I knew I had to play along. 

Kim's Inspiration Card

I was inspired by the balloons and pandas.  I decided to do something very similar with penguins, another black and white animal.  I used colors from this week's Color Throwdown Challenge #485.

I used a new-to-me stamp set from STAMPlorations called Fowl Play to enter the bird challenge at Addicted to CAS #132.  I stamped a line up of those adorable birds and then colored them with Copics.  I am also entering this card at AAA Cards #111: Use Only One Third.

This week on PTI Transformation Tuesday, Lizzie showed how she redid a card using Text Block Birthday.  That gave me the idea to take a very masculine card I had made using that same die and redo it as a feminine card. 

Original Card

I am also entering this card at Retro Rubber #82: Tic Tac Toe.  I used the diagonal:  Birthday, Die-cut, Embossing.  My stamps, die, and embossing plate are 2 years old. 

Last up is a Mother's Day card that I made using flowers from The Sweet Life and one of the Mix & Mat dies from PTI.  I am entering this card at The Flower Challenge #18: Anything Goes and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Floral Frenzy.

Leaping Reindeer

Please do not tell me to stop it already with the leaping reindeer.  I'm sorry, but I just can't stop.  Here, I've got those reindeer leaping over some mountains.  I think these are the Sierras, and these reindeer are headed to Tahoe for some skiing.

I am entering this card at AAA Cards #104: Christmas and CAS on Friday #122: Christmas.

I am entering this next card at PTI Make it Monday #305: Love of Layers and Muse Christmas Vision 90: Any holiday card.

Last up today is another reindeer.  I am entering this card at Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes.

My Crafty Weekend

Sit down and grab a cup of tea.  I had a super crafty weekend, and now I am going to get everything posted before I head out for the afternoon.

First up is my CASE of this gorgeous card by Ardyth for MUSE #242.

Ardyth's Inspiration Card

I normally try to replicate the card when I CASE, but this time I tried to do something different.  I was inspired by the white and grey color scheme and the Christmas theme, and tried to be inspired in a different approach.

Next up is another jumping reindeer card for Just Add Ink #386: Just Add "R" challenge.  I am also entering this card at Addicted to Stamps and More #268: Holiday.  You can see my first jumping reindeer card here.

My next card is for the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge:  Furry Friends and The Male Room #73: Paper Piecing.  I colored the cat and dogs with Copics and paper pieced their hat, scarf and antlers.

My next card is inspired by the challenge at Inkspirational #148: Christmas card using only neutral colors.

Less is More #355 challenges us to CASE a really cute card.  Here is the card to CASE.

Inspirational Card

I was inspired by the design of the card and the cute and colored holiday focal point.

My next card is inspired by the challenge at Cupcake Inspirations #432 and also by this card by Michelle during the PTI release.

And, a second, slightly different version.

This card was inspired by the colors at this week's Color Throwdown #469.

Ok, last one.  Thanks for sticking around.

I am entering this birthday card at Seize the Birthday where the optional topping is Circles, Simon Says Monday challenge: It's a Stitch Up, and AAA Cards #103: Celebrate.
