Summer School

Hello and happy Tuesday.  This is my 2nd post of the day.  If you are looking for my CASology post, please click here.

I am posting 4 birthday cards today and entering them all at Seize the Birthday #196: No Toppings,  Simon Says Monday Challenge: Happy Birthday, and Shopping Our Stash #426: Keep it Simple Sister.

Although my big dog Sherlock is dreadfully afraid of skateboarders, the little doggie on my card has no such fears.  He is riding his skateboard with a giant bouquet of balloons.  Such fun!

I have been in summer school and learning lots about card making.  Day 2 is all about rainbows, and I used MFT Balloon Bundle for my rainbow card.

Day 3 is all about symmetry, and I used MFT Wine Service and Good Time to Wine for my symmetry card.

Day 4 is all about Ombre.  One of my favorite ways to use ombre on a card is by using paint chips.  I used the same die as in the video and paired it with an ombre of blue.

A Little Weekday Crafting

Hello and happy Wednesday!  I just got the cutest stamp set from Newton's Nook called Holding Happiness, and I just had to ink it up right away and start coloring.

The first card I made is inspired by the colors at Inky Paws #128 and the photo at Fusion Summer.

My next card is inspired by the color challenge at Cupcake Inspirations #498.  Each of those tiny flowers on the package has a little dab of Stickles for fun.

Well, if you are familiar with this stamp set, my third card will not be a surprise.  I could not decide which of the 3 fun images to use, so I used them all!  I am entering this card at AAA Cards #170.

Do you have a favorite of the three cards above? 


Moving on....this next card was inspired by the sketch at The Paper Players #501.  The colors were Copics I had already out on my desk, and I made the little plaid piece using the same markers I used on the balloons.

Last up is a card that I hope will sit in my stash for a long time.  I was inspired by the sketch at CAS Colours & Sketches #381 and the stamps are my latest purchase from The Greetery Budding Beauties Summer.  I am happy to report that even though this flower was a 4 step process, it was extremely easy to get everything lined up properly.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is Anything Goes, and I will be entering all of these cards over there.
