Thursday Crafting

 


Hello and happy Thursday.  I have a few cards to share today.  First up is this card using Memory Box Life's Path stamps.  I colored the trees in various shades of blue, purple and green with Copic markers.  I am entering this card at Festive Friday #33: Winter Solstice (blue, purple, trees) and Memory Box #67: Trees.







Next up is a Warm Wishes card, inspired by the challenge at Ink to Paper.  I pulled out these cute Christmas Critters mice from PTI, sharing a cup of cocoa and maybe even a kiss under the mistletoe.  I used the colors from Just Add Ink #534 and am also playing along at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Fun with Dies.





My next card started with the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #464, the colors at Just Add Ink #534  and the Fun with Dies challenge at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.  I pulled out another old favorite from PTI, Dash Away All for this card.  As fun as it is to get new stamps, sometimes it is fun to play with old favorites.





Last up for me today is this fun Christmas tree I constructed myself using some paper scraps I had left over from this card.  I had an idea in my head of how I wanted it to look, and did a google image search to see if I could find an image of the die I had in mind that inspired my idea.  What I learned is that this project is one of the most popular Christmas crafts for kindergarten classes.  Yay me!  I passed kindergarten (again).  

I am entering this card in a challenge that is new to me called The Rainbow Card Challenge #24: Holiday Rainbow.  I am also entering this card at Festive Friday #33: Winter Solstice (blue, purple, tree, snow) 








Thanks for Visiting
