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.

CASology Week 264: Square

Hello and happy Tuesday. It's time for another challenge at CASology.   This week, our cue word is SQUARE.  Lots of different ways to creatively interpret this word.

I decided to use a quilt-inspired design incorporating 4 small squares into one larger square.

Now it's your turn.  How does SQUARE inspire you?  I hope you play along this week.  Please remember to keep it Clean and Simple.

Please head on over to the CASology blog and gather some inspiration from the design team.

Anniversary Challenges

Quick post for 2 of the PTI Anniversary Challenges.

Day 2--Multiply challenge--I used Quilted Summer and some Doodlebug paper to use repeated triangles to make a pattern.

Day 3---Favorite Floral--I used the hibiscus from Some Like it Hot.  Inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #212.

Day 5--Transformation.  I made a card years ago, for a Make it Monday challenge to use acetate. My design was very impractical, as there was really no way to write inside the card, given the way I designed my card.  So, for this challenge, I used the same stamp set, Asian Fusion and the same color scheme, but a much more practical card.

Here are both cards side by side.  New card on right.

My Crafty Weekend

I had some time to play in some fun challenges over the weekend.  First up is a card inspired by the photo at AAA Cards #75.  I was inspired by the bright and bold colors and the pinwheel shape.

I inked up Quilted Summer for the very first time, remembering that the pattern of the quilt looked kind of like a pinwheel.  I am also linking this card up at Seize the Birthday: Anything Goes.

My next card is inspired by the photo at Fusion Challenge.  I was inspired by the colors of the chairs in the photo.  Inkspirational #119 asks us to use 5 or more stamps--1-flowers; 2-stems; 3-sentiment; 4-butterfly #1; 5-butterfly #2.  All the stamps for this card are from the same set as the quilt card above.

Ice cream is my very favorite dessert, so I needed to play along at The Card Concept #59.  I used bitty dot paper in colors similar to the inspiration photo.

With 2 of my besties on the design team, it was only a matter of time before I got around to playing in Sugar Peas Design Mix it Up Challenge.  I decided to play with the sketch.

I cut a bunch of extra flowers--Bitty Bouquets, and stamped enough while my Misti was all set up to make a little card set.  Always nice to have them on hand for last minute gifts.

I am entering this card at CAS Colours & Sketches #194.

I am entering this card at Addicted to Stamps and More #214: Clean and Simple.

And one more card, just to round out the set.  All sentiments are stamped in HA Soft Granite ink and are from various PTI Keep it Simple.
