My Crafty Weekend


I feel like it has been a long time since I had a large group of cards to post as a result of weekend fun in the craft room--today is the day.

First up is a bunch of cards inspired by Kay's beautiful card at Muse #231.

Kay's Inspiration Card
I loved the idea of the lightly stamped city skyline and a beautiful floral focal point.  I created two Mother's Day cards using PTI City Scene and Gran's Garden stamps.


I am also entering this card at CAS on Sunday #107: Use glitter or sequins (I used sequins).


I made another version of the same card, using different die cuts from Grans Garden.  I am entering this card at Time Out #82: Flowers (where I am on the DT).




While I had all the buildings from City Scene set up in my Misti, I made a few Father's Day cards. Why should the Mother's Day cards get all the fun, right?


I am entering this card at Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes and Addicted to Stamps and More #239: Clean and Simple.



Are you sick of this design yet?  I have one more Father's Day card, and I am entering this one at AAA Cards #89: Bright and Beautiful.




My parents as well as my In-Laws are all from New York, so I think they will appreciate the New York themed cards.


The sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #285 inspired my next card.  I flipped the sketch.





Last up is a pair of cards I made with the Bloom & Grow kit.

The first card is inspired by CAS(E) this Sketch #219, and I used the Stenciled Water Color Background technique from Make it Monday #282.



You can pull the flowers up to see the sentiment.





One more card from Bloom & Grow, this one using the patterned paper in the kit.



I am entering this card at Seize the Birthday Anything Goes.



That's it for me this weekend.


Thanks for Visiting

  7. Joyce, you sure have been busy making these beautiful cards. And a good idea using City Scene as a background stamp! I had to laugh when I read your comment that you checked my blog first before making your card for MIM - can we help it if great, creative minds think alike?

  9. Wow! Your output is phenomenal and it's fun to see all the variety today, Joyce! You used a set that I have not used but once. City Scene is a great choice for feminine/masculine cards.

  11. Oh my goodness, Joyce, you have been a very busy stamper creating all these beauties. I, too, loved that card of Kay's but hadn't tried it yet. You did a super job with hers as inspiration. Beautiful Mother's Day cards and very appropriate masculine cards for Father's Day.

  19. What awesome cards. Each one is a delight I love the background buildings. What a subtle background. Thanks for all the cards. I just love it when someone shows how to use a stamp multiple times.
