Hello and happy Sunday. I've been crafty again, so let's get right to it.
First up is this very fun birthday card, inspired by the sketch at MFT Sketch Challenge #525. I used hippos and birds from MFT Happy Hippos and another bird from Birthday Bear & Friends. I am also entering this card at CAS on Friday #197: Animals, Use Your Stuff #414: Out with the Old (I've had these animal birthday sets from MFT for a long time, and still love them), and Seize the Birthday #206 (no twist). Because I think this card would be perfect for a little boy, I am entering it at the Male Room #146: Animals and WWC305: Anything Goes Masculine Twist.
I don't know how it happened, but I have run out of new home cards. I made a matching pair, inspired by a design I used years ago. This first card will be headed to my niece tomorrow.
This card is almost exactly the same, except for the blended background and placement of clouds.
I will be entering both of these cards at Use Your Stuff #414: Out with the Old (I used an old die called Home Scape from Sugar Pea) and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Make Your Own Background.
My next card is another for my stash of new home cards. I was inspired by the challenge at Less is More #435: In a Row to pull out a new-to-me Scene It More from Clearly Besotted.
I was so excited to see the new challenge at Festive Friday #0076: Chinese New Year. I had the perfect stamp set from Mama Elephant Ni Hao. My younger daughter was supposed to be in Shanghai this semester, but it was canceled by covid. I will still give her this card, and we will celebrate Chines New Year here in California. The elements of the challenge I used on my card are red, gold and dragon.
I made 2 versions of the card, as I could not decide which parts should be red or white.
I am also entering these cards at WWC305: Anything Goes Masculine Twist.
I had so much fun playing with my newest stamps from Newton's Nook, Paw-some Birthday. I used the colors from Inky Paws Challenge #140 and the sketch from The Paper Players #525.
I am also entering this card at Seize the Birthday #206 (no twist), and because I think this card would be perfect for a little boy, I am entering it at the Male Room #146: Animals and WWC305: Anything Goes Masculine Twist.
Switching gears for a moment, I have a few holiday cards to post. I am entering both of these holiday cards at the new MFT Slimline Challenge, because I used MFT Delightful Deer dies. I am also entering these cards at Addicted to Stamps and More #397: Christmas and Retro Rubber #150: Winter Wonderland (my sentiment stamp is at least 1 year old, and the deer and birds are several years old).
