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.

PTI October 2014 Blog Hop

I'm playing along with the PTI October Blog Hop, where the challenge is to make holiday cards with various color schemes.  I tried to use some older sets, and also to use all the color schemes.   It's getting late, so I'll be brief.

I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #159.

I used the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch #97.

I ran out of time to make something for the last 2 color schemes.  Perhaps I'll have some time later on.  In the meantime, that's all for now.

Penguin Thank You Notes

I made a quick little set of thank you notes for my daughter, Rachel, to use for her Chanukah gifts.  I am entering them into this week's CAS-Friday "Signed, Sealed and Delivered" CFC#32 challenge.  I based these note cards on this owl set I made over the summer for Sarah's birthday.  Sarah still has some of hers left, so she will use them for her Chanukah gifts.

 

I made 8 notecards, in a variety of colors.  Here is what I could fit in my photo:

Here are some of the envelopes:

Here is a note card with its envelope:

Supplies Used:

Winter Penguin Fun

I've been playing around with my Winter Penguin set, and I honestly don't know when I have had so much fun for only five dollars.

 

The last two cards were cased from this card by Lisa Johnson's.
