My Crafty Weekend

 

Hello and happy Sunday.  I've got lots of crafty stuff to share today.

I pulled out my old PTI Warmest Wishes stamps and dies to create my first card.  I an entering this card at Melissa's Fab Friday challenge to make a Critter Card--My critters are a bear and a fox. I am also entering this card at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Fun with Dies.

Up next are a pair of cards I made using the sketch at MFT Sketch Challenge #518 (2nd card flips the sketch) and the colors from MFT Color Challenge #154.  I am also entering these cards at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Fun with Dies.

I used the MFT Drifts stencil to mask an area off to create my diagonal 'road'.  For the first card, I sponged distress ink in twisted citron, then put a Dreamweaver Faux Cross-Stitch stencil over it all and sponged with a darker Green.

I flipped the sketch for this card, as the panda I wanted to use was headed in the other direction.  I masked my 'road' off the same way as for the previous card, but used a brick stencil on the unmasked area.  The sentiment is from MFT A Toast To You, but I thought it would be fitting for these pandas going on some unexpected adventures.

I rotated and used the sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch #400 for my next card.  Don't those cookies look delicious and adorable?  I am also playing along at The Paper Players #520, where I am inspired by the plate of Christmas cookies, and Fusion Merry, Joy, Cheer, where I am inspired by the cookie jars in the photo.

My next two cards are inspired by the challenge at Stay Crafty With Hero #17: Thank Your Cards,  A Blog Named Hero: Glitter and Sparkle, and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Fun with Dies.  The snow on my first card was made with glitter embossing paste and a falling snow stencil, and I am also entering this card at CAS on Friday #194: Snow.

I used some more of this metallic shine paper on this second card, and had the usual difficulties taking a photo.

It seems like I still have an inclination to make a few more tags, so I am playing along at Ellen Hutson 12 Tags of Christmas 2020.   My Tag for Day 1 is inspired by the scene with buildings and the round shape of Sandy's sample tag, as well as the 'Christmas in the City' portion of Silver Bells.  This tag was so quick to make, so I am entering it at AAA Cards #180: Made in Minutes + Christmas.  I white heat embossed some of the buildings from Concord & 9th City Stacks, cut a quick mask and was then able to sponge the buildings in red and the sky in purple. adding falling snow with some white paint.

My card for Day 2 is inspired by Ardyth's Gingerbread Man and Little Drummer Boy song.

My Crafty Week

Hang on....I've had a crafty week.  First up is a card using Warmest Wishes, and I am playing along with PTI Create Along With Us and CASE-ing this card by Heather.

I got a fun new abstract cityscape stamp from Hero Arts, and I used it to play along at The Male Room #94: Geometrics.  When I saw how this stamp looks, I was struck by all the squares, rectangles and vertical and horizontal lines.

I used Poppystamps Brevilla Houses die for my next card, which I am entering at Poppystamps Challenge #48: Anything Goes and Addicted to Stamps and More #309: CAS.

This card is inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #289.  I used PTI Fence Line Spring.

My next card uses one of my favorite quotes for a housewarming card--an Irish Blessing from a retired Verve stamp set.  I used In the Woods die by PTI and popped up a couple of birds.  I am entering this card at Addicted to CAS #145: Tweet and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Pop it Up.

My next 3 cards use Hero Arts Paper Layering Neighborhood Die.  What a fun die.  I used it for a birthday card that I am entering at Seize the Birthday, where the topping is Die Cuts or Punches.  I used Copic Markers to create a pink ombre on the layer that shows beneath the windows.

I used the color challenge at Just Us Girls #458 for my next card.  My 3rd color is white.

Last up for today is another neighborhood, this one inspired by the challenge at Color Throwdown #510.

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.
