My Crafty Weekend

Hello and happy Sunday.  I had a crafty weekend, and now I can post what I have made.

First up is a Mother's Day card using PTI Grans Garden that was inspired by the Project Reach Out Challenge at Ink to Paper, the photo at Just us Girls #533, the sketch at Just Add Ink #502.

This next card was inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #369 (especially Donna's and Michele's fun skateboard cards), AAA Birthday #12: Dots and/or Stripes (dots on the dog's hat, stripes on the bird's party favor), Color Throwdown #590, and Stay Crafty with Hero #6: Out of the Box (using the sentiment as a skateboard for my dog).

Here's a fun one, using a brand new to me stamp from Picket Fence called Leave as a Friend.  I am entering this card at AAA Cards #164: One image + optional twist inspired by TV.  My card is inspired by Mr. Rogers Neighborhood (the TV show which I grew up on) and this card represents the Neighborhood of Make Believe.  Difficult to see in this photo, but I used an impression plate to texture the card behind the neighborhood with sun rays.  I am also entering this card at Addicted to Stamps and More #386: Anything Goes.

I am entering my next card at the Paper Smooches Happy Things challenge, using the sketch at The Paper Players #448.  I created a happy little scene using Paper Smooches Promenade stamps, and I am depicting where I will finally meet a friend for ice cream or coffee, once the quarantine is lifted.  These stamps are at least 5 years old, so I am entering this card at Retro Rubber #133:  Anything Goes.

Finally, a Hoppy Birthday card using some Pond Frog dies from Poppystamps.  I am entering this card at Poppystamps Challenge #67: Puddle Jumping, Perfectly CAS #8: Masking. and CAS Colours & Sketches #367.

That's it for me today.

Stay Safe

My Crafty Weekend

Happy Sunday.  I had a super crafty weekend.  Here are my cards...  First up is a card inspired by this lovely sample from Muse #269 created by Anita.

I was inspired by the sponged blue background, the white die cut border and the pop of color.

I was focused on Father's Day cards this weekend, as I realized that some of them need to be mailed on Monday.  I pulled out a very old (5 years or more, perhaps) stamp set PTI Polka Dot Parade #3 and was able to make 3 cards with this little $5 mini set.  

I'm entering this first card at Retro Rubber #88.

This card is based on a card I saw online when I Googled the stamp set, but I could not find who made the original.  I am entering it at Addicted to CAS #138: Rainbow.

Last up with this Polka Dot Parade stamp set is this card which features the arm chair in that set.  I am entering this card at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. 

My next Father's Day card is inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #275.  I used some Lawn Fawn patterned paper and a 'dad' die from Lil Inker.

Last up for Father's Day is a card I CASEd from Kara Lynne.  I loved how she used speech bubbles for her sentiment with her crowd of puppies.  I am entering this card at CAS-ual Fridays #201:  Boys of Summer.  Dad's are boys, and Father's Day is in the summer, right?

Last up is a fun birthday card for a young boy.  I am entering it at Poppystamps #45: For the Boys and The Male Room #87: Little Boys.  I used the Pond Frogs dies from Poppystamps die cut in various colors, and paired them with an old sentiment from PTI Frog Hop.

Hoppy and Happy Birthday

Happy Friday everyone.  I've got 2 cards to post today.  First up is a card for this week's Time Out #104 challenge...

Now,  I am on the reminder DT for this challenge, but I happened to feel like playing along a week early with some fun dies from Poppystamps:  Pond Frogs.  I used bold colors for my hopping frogs.  Poppystamps are our sponsor for this challenge, and they are also hosting their own challenge this month...PSC #42: Clean and Simple.

I am also taking the lead from my friend Sandie, and playing along at 2 challenges that are new to me, City Crafter Challenge #41: Die Cuts and The Sisterhood of Crafters: Clean and Simple.   And, I am also entering this card at Simon Says Monday Challenge In My Garden--yes, my garden has frogs.

My next card is for this week's PTI Make it Monday #313: Mask and Stack, Addicted to Stamps and More #281, Seize the Birthday, and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge, who all have Anything Goes this week.

I created a bunch of masks of this whale out of post-its, and followed Betsy's technique to create a pod of whales.
