My Crafty Weekend

 

Hello and happy Sunday.  I had some crafty time this week, and here is what I made.  First up is my first project using the C9 Card Stacks Base.  I made this little thing--I don't know what it is, but not a card, and I used the colors of fall as well as stamps and dies from Hero Arts My Monthly Hero and Meadows Heroscape.  I am entering this at Stay Crafty with Hero #28: Fall Colors and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Not a Card.

Next up is a holiday card I created to play along with Poppystamps Challenge #85: Make it Magical.  I used all white card stock and a heaping amount of shimmer spray to create my magical winter wonderland scene.

This card was also inspired by the same Poppystamps Challenge #85: Make it Magical. This time, my magical element is none other than Rudolph.  I am also entering this card at CAS on Friday #215: Circles and Perfectly CAS #19: Geometric.

This next card matches stamps and dies old and new--from PTI and ITP, and they even have almost the same name--Winter Woods and Winter Woodlands.  I am entering this card at the PTI Video Series with Shauna Challenge to make a winter birthday card as well as at AAA Cards #200: Celebrate and WWC326: Occasions (Birthday).

Last up is almost the same card, but this time with a red and grey color scheme for the challenge at CAS Christmas and also for the challenge at ABC Christmas: U is for Under the Tree.

My Crafty Weekend

Hello and happy Sunday.  Popping in with a quick post of 4 cards I made this weekend.  

First up is a card for the current challenge at Poppystamps Challenge #72: Cards for Kids, using the colors at Color Throwdown #612 (the colors in my photo are not true to life--the mice on the left are light aqua IRL and the squirrels and fox on the right are light blue). My sentiments are from PTI The Skinny (about the only thing skinny around here these days, what with quarantine baking, etc.) and they are probably 5 years old, so I am entering this card at Retro Rubber #144: Anything Goes.  I am also playing along at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Animal Antics, AAA Birthday #17: Animals & Critters and Watercooler Wednesday #290:  All About Occasions.

I used a few of the Poppystamps Whittle dies to create 3 mini scenes on my slimline card.  The slimline dies are from Mama Elephant, and I am finding that using windows, like the ones on this filmstrip, makes it much easier to make a slimline card--otherwise the card somehow seems too big to tackle.

Next up is a card featuring the adorable new foxes from Mama Elephant--Little Fox Agenda and Winter Fox.  All those foxes, plus a few tiny snowmen and birds are making themselves at home in the snowy forest created by the PTI Winter Woods cover plate die.

I am entering this card at AAA Birthday #17: Animals & Critters, Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Animal Antics. and Watercooler Wednesday #290:  All About Occasions.

For my next card, I turned my attention to the upcoming holidays and made a Christmas card and will enter this card at the Ink to Paper Challenge.  My design was inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #454, and I am entering this card at Retro Rubber #144: Anything Goes (my stamps are from 2015), Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Animal Antics and Watercooler Wednesday #290:  All About Occasions.

Last of all today is a card inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #391, and more specifically, Michele's inspiration card here.  I am also entering this card at Watercooler Wednesday #290:  All About Occasions.  My leaves are from The Greetery Petite Eucalyptus, and the texture on my boxes come from Lil Inkers Circles & Diamonds cover plate.  Always good to have a supply of sympathy cards, especially when I don't need one.

Well, that's it for me today.  Stay safe, and keep on crafting.

Happy Little Stampers Case The Designer October 2016...Birthday Wishes

Hello and happy October.  I'm here to post a card for Happy Little Stampers Case the Designer challenge.

Our inspiration this month is provided by Birgit.  Take a look at this gorgeous inspiration card.

Birgit's Inspiration Card

I love the vintage-backgrounds that Birgit often creates for her cards, and I tried to so something similar on my card.  I started with a Soft Stone card front and stamped a text background stamp repeatedly over the entire page in very pale grey ink.  I added some snowflakes in Stormy Sea ink, stamped off once.

I also was inspired by the bird focal point on Birgit's card, and so that is what I used on my card.

Our challenge will run for the entire month of October.  I hope you will play along.  Please head over to the Happy Little Stampers Case the Designers blog to see more inspiration from the rest of the design team.
