Recap of the Week

Hello and happy Sunday.  I'm posting a few cards I made this week.  First up is another card using The Greetery Sitting Pretty.  I was inspired by the challenge at Just Add Ink #564: Just Choose Two (sky & trees) and the colors at Color Throwdown #652.  Perhaps the rug and seat cushion look familar?  

I am also entering this card at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge (old: dog die and cloud stencil.  new:  porch, chair and trees), and Addicted to Stamps and More #410.  This is such a peaceful scene, and I had to add Sherlock to enjoy the day.

Next up...it is birthday time.  I stamped, colored and fussy cut a bunch of tiny cupcakes out of Hero Arts You're Top Tier, and was inspired to do this by the challenge at CAS on Friday #210: Tiny Images.  I used a Mosaic embossing folder which gives this really fun geometric dimensional texture to my card front, so I am also linking up at Addicted to CAS #202 and AAA Birthday #27:  Embossing Folder.  And, I am finally snarky!!  I'll be linking this card up at The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #190:  C is for Colorful.  Last of all, this card is going over at A Blog Named Hero:  Repeat Yourself.

While I had my Copic markers out and was in a birthday mode, I am entering this card at many of the same challenges as the card above.

Last up are a couple of wedding cards--must replenish the stash.  This first one was inspired by the challenge at Ink to Paper: What Do I Do with This to create a card with a little sparkle.  My elegant wedding sentiment is heat embossed in Black Sparkle embossing powder, which gives a whole lot of sparkle in person, and the sequins are pretty sparkly, too.  I am also entering this card at WWC230: Occasions (wedding).

My 2nd wedding card is my last card for the day.  I combined a stamped and die cut image from a My Monthly Hero kit with a stamped and gold heat embossed image from PTI Gatsby Glamour and a sentiment from Avery Elle So Happy.  Now, that's a mixed marriage.  I am entering this card at WWC230: Occasions (wedding).

My Crafty Week

I've had some crafty time these last few days...First up is a card using my newest favorite dies--The Greetery Sitting Pretty.  I created this cozy front porch scene and added a stenciled tree in the background.  I am entering this card at Addicted to Stamps and More #410: Die Cuts and/or Stencils and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge:  Out with the old (stencil) and In with the New (die cuts).

Next up is a whole bunch of dogs, inspired by the sketch at Inky Paws #153, and especially inspired by this card from DT member Sue.  I used the colors from Color Hue #22: Lime Green and Aqua.  I am also entering this card at Addicted to Stamps and More #410: Die Cuts and/or Stencils and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge:  Out with the old (stamps) and In with the New (stencil).

I used elements from a My Monthly Hero kit to create this elegant wedding card.  I stamped the frame twice in Delicata gold ink, inspired by the challenge at A Blog Named Hero: Repeat Yourself.

For my next wedding card, I pulled out the beautiful PTI Text and Texture Roses, and stamped in Fine Linen and Kraft on Vintage Cream card stock.  I don't think I have ever used this set before, but I will surely use it again before too long.  I just love how it looks stamped tone on tone.  I am entering this card at the What Do I Do With This challenge to create a tactile card by using multiple dies or heat embossing.  My sentiment is heat embossed, fussy cut, and popped up with foam tape.
