My Crafty Weekend



Hello and happy Sunday.  I'm starting out with a card that is a total CASE of my friend Lindsey's card here.  I used a mask with a circle cut out in combination with a mask of a NYC die cut to create my focal point.  I sponged a night sky using an ombre collection of Distress inks, then added my Santa sleigh and reindeer up in the sky and my sentiment down below.  It's hard to see in this photo, but I used WOS to add glitter to my Santa sleigh and reindeer.

I am entering this card at ABC Christmas: U is for Up in the Air, Just Us Girls #557: Ombre, Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Make it Sparkle.






AAA Cards #176 asks for a card with a cozy scene in the corner.  I had two ideas for this challenge.  Here is the first, using Mama Elephant Sincerely Yours stamps and a PTI cover plate for dry embossing.



I am also entering this card at WWC292 and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Dry Embossing.




Here is my second idea for AAA Cards #176, using Newton's Nook Book Club for this card. I am also entering this card at Festive Friday #69: (cat, embossing, clean & simple) and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Dry Embossing.






Last up are 2 very quick to make cards inspired by the colors at Color Hues #3 and the challenge at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Make it Sparkle.

I used a 3D embossing folder I just got from Altenew and a technique from this video of Jennifer McGuires.  I 'swinked' my gold Delicata ink directly onto the embossed card stock--only the very highest layer got just a touch of gold.  I am also entering this at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Dry Embossing.





Last up is the other card for Color Hues #3.  I was also inspired for this card by the challenge at Ink to Paper to make a 'beautifully simple card'.  I stamped the largest butterfly from PTI Ever So Much in Gold Delicata ink on cream card stock.  I am also entering this card at Inkspirational #223: Angle it.




Thanks for Visiting
