Guest Designer...CAS on Friday...Happy Birthday

I am so pleased to be posting today as the Guest Designer at CAS on Friday, after they chose this card as a winner of their challenge a few weeks ago.  I used two different stamp sets from The Greetery to make this CAS card.  After my stamping, I added a very subtle texture to my card front using an impression plate.

I am also entering this challenge in two other challenges...AAA Birthday #26: Flowers and The Flower Challenge #57: Clean and Simple.

Guest Designer...Just Us Girls...Sending Well Wishes

 

Hello and happy Saturday.  This is my third post as the Guest Designer for Just Us Girls for the month of November.

This week is a color challenge:  PURPLE, GREEN AND NAVY.  What will you create?

When I am doing a color challenge and green is one of the colors, I usually think first of flowers, so I can use green for the leaves.  For this card, I went all out with The Greetery, using Pitcher-esque for the pitcher, Budding Beauties for the hydrangeas, and Cotton Comforts for the sentiment.  I added a bit of texture to the background to add interest.

 

I hope that you will have some fun with color and play along with Just Us Girls.

Sunday Crafty Round Up

Hello and happy Sunday.  My first card is inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #447.  I am also playing along at Stay Crafty with Hero #13, where the challenge is Creative Bug inspiration.  The technique I used is from 'Day One: Basic stamping with clear stamps', and I used Hero Arts Sky's the Limit Balloons stamps.  The Male Room #141 is celebrating their 7th birthday, and this card celebrates all the adventures coming for their 8th year.  Last of all, I am entering this card (and several others today) at Shopping Our Stash #426: KISS.

I reached deep, deep, back into my stash to my very first MFT stamp purchase for this next card, which was inspired by the challenge at MFT Color Challenge #146, and I am also entering at Shopping Our Stash #426: KISS.

I combined 2 sets from The Greetery for my next card.  I just love the summer flowers in Budding Beauties Summer, and I used the daisies (or sunflowers) for this card.  I am entering this card at Less is More #425: Summer Flowers, CAS on Friday #186: Nature, Watercooler Wednesday #283 and Shopping Our Stash #426: KISS.

Next up is a card for this week's Fab Friday Feature at Ink to Paper:  Wishing You.  I used a United States die cut, filled in with some rainbow paper and a die cut sun to highlight the 'rainbows' and 'sunshine' on my card.  I put a heart where I live and another heart where my daughters will be once they go back to school.

Unfortunately, I used the last of my pet sympathy cards this week, so need to build up my stash.  My friend, Stephanie, alerted me to a new challenge that could provide me with some inspiration.  I am linking this card up at Festive Friday #65: National Dog Day (red, black, dog, love, embossing), Inkspirational #219: Face and The Card Concept #138c: Dog Days of Summer.

And, one more card for the  Festive Friday #65: National Dog Day (red, black, heart, paw print, love).  This card and the card above use sentiments from MFT Critter Condolences.

And, while I had that wonderful Pawsome Heart stencil from Funky Fossil out, I made another pet sympathy card for my stash.  I am entering this card at AAA Cards #171: Along the Edge.

That's it for me this weekend.  Stay safe, wash your hands, and craft on!
