Happy Sunday

 

Hello and happy Sunday.  I am squeaking in before the current challenge ends at AAA Birthday #22: A Large Sentiment.  I pulled out some die cuts that my bestie Kim sent me a while back and used them to make a pair of cards that I am also entering at the MFT Color Challenge #160, Addicted to Stamps and More #399: Any Occasion (birthday), WWC310: Occasions (birthday), and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes.

Here is a closer look at each card...I am also entering this card with my bear and his tower of chocolate gifts at Addicted to CAS #192: Animal and Inkspirational #233: Tower.  I sponged ink on the die cut letters and adhered them to a card front, adding my bear popped up with foam tape.

I added strips of colored card stock to the back of my die cut card front, after popping out all of the letters.  Then I added my chocolate cake right on top of the 'O' in you.

My next card is inspired by the sketch at MFT Sketch Challenge #530 and MFT Slimline Challenge: Birthday Wishes.  I created this little scene using MFT Winter Songbirds, and the MFT Cloud stencil.  I don't use Twitter, but love this playful sentiment.

I am also entering this card at Seize the Birthday #208: Create a Scene, Addicted to Stamps and More #399: Any Occasion (birthday), WWC310: Occasions (birthday), Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes, and Addicted to CAS #192: Animal.

I always love a reason to pull out some PTI stamps, and the challenge to Create a Thinking of You Card at Ink to Paper this week gave me all the reason I needed.  I used stamps from Fence Line Summer and a sentiment from Botanical Silhouettes for this card.

Last to post, but first to create....this card was inspired by the photo at  Just Us Girls #573.  I fell in love with that wonderful sky, and attempted to create one just like it myself, using blue, purple and green  Distress Oxide inks, Avery Elle Clear Shimmer Spray and dots of white paint.  I found this trees die in my stash, and thought it would play off the trees in the inspiration photo.  I am also entering this card at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes.

Two Cards for Tuesday, no wait, it's Wednesday

Happy Tuesday.  I am popping in with a quick post of two cards.  The challenge at Ink to Paper Project Reach Out is 'Special Delivery'.  This made me think of the mail, so I pulled out Fence Line Summer, which has this really cute rural mail box, and made a card to send to a friend who I don't get to see right now.  I am also entering this card at CAS on Sunday #178: Bunnies...there is the smallest bunny ever hiding in the flowers under the mail box.  I hope to return later this week with another card with more and bigger bunnies.

My next card is inspired by the Seize the Heroes Challenge #188, the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #368 and Addicted to CAS #183: Animal.  This card will go to a friend who is a medical professional, on the front lines in the hospital.

That's it for me today.

Stay Safe

My Crafty Week

Hang on....I've had a crafty week.  First up is a card using Warmest Wishes, and I am playing along with PTI Create Along With Us and CASE-ing this card by Heather.

I got a fun new abstract cityscape stamp from Hero Arts, and I used it to play along at The Male Room #94: Geometrics.  When I saw how this stamp looks, I was struck by all the squares, rectangles and vertical and horizontal lines.

I used Poppystamps Brevilla Houses die for my next card, which I am entering at Poppystamps Challenge #48: Anything Goes and Addicted to Stamps and More #309: CAS.

This card is inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #289.  I used PTI Fence Line Spring.

My next card uses one of my favorite quotes for a housewarming card--an Irish Blessing from a retired Verve stamp set.  I used In the Woods die by PTI and popped up a couple of birds.  I am entering this card at Addicted to CAS #145: Tweet and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Pop it Up.

My next 3 cards use Hero Arts Paper Layering Neighborhood Die.  What a fun die.  I used it for a birthday card that I am entering at Seize the Birthday, where the topping is Die Cuts or Punches.  I used Copic Markers to create a pink ombre on the layer that shows beneath the windows.

I used the color challenge at Just Us Girls #458 for my next card.  My 3rd color is white.

Last up for today is another neighborhood, this one inspired by the challenge at Color Throwdown #510.

My Crafty Week

Shanah Tovah--Happy New Year to all my Jewish friends.  It is 5779 in the Jewish calendar.  Here is the card I sent this year to my Jewish friends and relatives.  I used a rubber stamp from Zum Gali Gali called Shanah Tovah City, stamped in Versamark and embossed with Copper embossing powder.

 I am entering this card at Addicted to Stamps and More #308: Holiday and Simon Says Monday Challenge: Stamp it On.

My next card is for the PTI Transformation Tuesday challenge.  I took this card from March, 2016 and transformed it using the fall color scheme presented here by Lexi.  The colors are Sweet Blush, Melon Berry, Enchanted Evening and Ocean Tides.  

Original Card

Transformation Card

My next card was inspired by the photo at Just Add Ink #425.  I used my newest PTI stamps--Fence Line Spring.  I was inspired by the white picket fence and all the pink flowers in the photo.

I am also entering this card at CAS on Friday #141: Flowers and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Stamp It.

I used Distress Ink to blend a sunset sky behind this Homescape die by Sugar Peas.  I am entering this card at Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #453: Spectacular Backgrounds.

Last up is a card that I will enter at Less is More #379: Black, White and one color.  Scarlet Jewel is the color I chose.  The stamps and dies are Concord & 9th City Stacks.  I am still loving those fun stamps.
