My Crafty Week

Shanah Tovah--Happy New Year to all my Jewish friends.  It is 5779 in the Jewish calendar.  Here is the card I sent this year to my Jewish friends and relatives.  I used a rubber stamp from Zum Gali Gali called Shanah Tovah City, stamped in Versamark and embossed with Copper embossing powder.

 I am entering this card at Addicted to Stamps and More #308: Holiday and Simon Says Monday Challenge: Stamp it On.

My next card is for the PTI Transformation Tuesday challenge.  I took this card from March, 2016 and transformed it using the fall color scheme presented here by Lexi.  The colors are Sweet Blush, Melon Berry, Enchanted Evening and Ocean Tides.

Transformation Card

My next card was inspired by the photo at Just Add Ink #425.  I used my newest PTI stamps--Fence Line Spring.  I was inspired by the white picket fence and all the pink flowers in the photo.

I am also entering this card at CAS on Friday #141: Flowers and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Stamp It.

I used Distress Ink to blend a sunset sky behind this Homescape die by Sugar Peas.  I am entering this card at Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #453: Spectacular Backgrounds.

Last up is a card that I will enter at Less is More #379: Black, White and one color.  Scarlet Jewel is the color I chose.  The stamps and dies are Concord & 9th City Stacks.  I am still loving those fun stamps.

My Crafty Weekend

Happy Sunday.  I had a super crafty weekend.  Here are my cards...  First up is a card inspired by this lovely sample from Muse #269 created by Anita.

I was inspired by the sponged blue background, the white die cut border and the pop of color.

I was focused on Father's Day cards this weekend, as I realized that some of them need to be mailed on Monday.  I pulled out a very old (5 years or more, perhaps) stamp set PTI Polka Dot Parade #3 and was able to make 3 cards with this little $5 mini set.  

I'm entering this first card at Retro Rubber #88.

This card is based on a card I saw online when I Googled the stamp set, but I could not find who made the original.  I am entering it at Addicted to CAS #138: Rainbow.

Last up with this Polka Dot Parade stamp set is this card which features the arm chair in that set.  I am entering this card at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. 

My next Father's Day card is inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #275.  I used some Lawn Fawn patterned paper and a 'dad' die from Lil Inker.

Last up for Father's Day is a card I CASEd from Kara Lynne.  I loved how she used speech bubbles for her sentiment with her crowd of puppies.  I am entering this card at CAS-ual Fridays #201:  Boys of Summer.  Dad's are boys, and Father's Day is in the summer, right?

Last up is a fun birthday card for a young boy.  I am entering it at Poppystamps #45: For the Boys and The Male Room #87: Little Boys.  I used the Pond Frogs dies from Poppystamps die cut in various colors, and paired them with an old sentiment from PTI Frog Hop.

Cupcake Inspirations....Guest Designer...Bring on the Cake

I am so pleased to be posting today as a Surprise Sweetie Guest Designer at Cupcake Inspirations. We have this scrumptious cupcake and color scheme to inspire us.

I need to replenish my stash of birthday cards, so I decided to use a brand new stamp set I recently bought from Sugar Peas called Bring On The Cake.

My card stock is PTI Vintage Cream and my inks are Pure Poppy and Delicata Gold.  Very hard to see in the photo, but I stamped some streamers in Versamark ink around the top of the cupcake.  More festive in person.

I am also entering this card at Sugar Peas Mix it Up Challenge #26--Anything Goes.

There will be more inspiration on the Cupcake Inspirations blog.  I hope you will join in the fun and play along this week.
