Birthdays, Sunshine and Books

Hello and happy Tuesday.  I have a really CAS card to share using the colors from Color Throwdown (which I missed the deadline for!) and the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #385.  I hand drew the strings on the balloons as my doodles for Less is More #426: Doodles.  I am also entering this card at Cupcake Inspirations #500 and Seize the Birthday #197 (no toppings).

This next card features some wonderful buildings from a Mama Elephant City Sidewalks, and I have layered it up with some snow drifts, cloud dies and a sun.  I am entering this card at Shopping Our Stash #427: Pile it On and Retro Rubber #141: Anything Goes (my stamps are 2-3 years old).

Last up is this slimline card, using the same houses from the card above plus a trees and mountains from Mama Elephant Build a Scene.  I am entering this card at The Paper Players #504: CAS Back to School (School is different for my oldest daughter, as she will be studying on line from her Grandmother's apartment in New York city), Just Add Ink #518 (trees), Use Your Stuff #403: Books and Retro Rubber #141: Anything Goes (my stamps are 2-3 years old).

That's it for me.  Please stay safe and craft on!!

Mostly Ice Cream!!

Hello and happy Thursday.  I've been stamping ice cream--way less calories than eating ice cream (although, true confessions, I am eating ice cream, too).

First up is a card inspired by the challenge at Inky Paws #127: Summer Theme.    What is summer to me?  A chance to eat ice cream, of course!  I used Summer Scoops that I had stamped a year or two ago using Kim's stamps.  I am also entering this card at Seize the Birthday #194: Anything Goes and Retro Rubber #138: Anything Goes (these stamps are at least 2 years old).

Next up is another card using those same stamps, and I am entering this card into the same 3 challenges.

Next, I pulled out a mini set from Lawn Fawn that I have had for years and years, and started stamping and coloring ice creams.  I was able to make three cards with those ice cream containers, and am entering all of them at Lawn Fawnatics #80: Fun with Food,  Seize the Birthday #194: Anything Goes, Retro Rubber #138: Anything Goes (these stamps are at least 5 years old) and AAA Birthday #15:  3D.

I am also entering this first card at Inspired by #132 where I was inspired by the fruits and the colors (think of my ice cream as fruit flavored).

I am entering these last two cards at AAA Cards #169: Made in Minutes.

Last to post is the card I made first.  It was so quick and easy, and I made it using the biggest balloon die from the Birch Press Party Balloon dies, and my sentiment is from Ellen Hutson Good Times.
