Swirling By

I have two cards for four challenges.  The first one is for CASology

and CAS(E) this Sketch.  The theme at CASology is "Electric."  

My thought was that there is often lightning with a tornado.

This card will be perfect for my son, who still has "storm-chaser" on

list of what he wants to be when he grows up ;(. 

 

 

My second card is a birthday card I made for my sister.

I am entering it at Seize the Birthday ~ where anything goes,

and at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge ~ also 

where anything goes.  Truthfully I made it for the "garden"

challenge last week at CASology, but did not have time

to post it.

I am skipping the supply lists, as time is in short supply these days.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Peace, Love & Sparkly Stuff

Eight cards for four challenges ~ all using the sketch from 

CAS(E) this Sketch.  I had a very similar card in mind when 

I had to buy the Tinsel 'N Trim set from Reverse Confetti ~ 

just to use this fun sentiment "Peace, Love & Sparkly Stuff."

I love snowflakes and even better ~ glittery snowflakes.  I don't

consider even one of these cards to have traditional Christmas

colors.  I made them for specific people using their favorite 

colors.  I also made two for the current color challenge at 

Dynamic Duos to use Black and Smoky Slate with the 

Dessert Option of Christmas.  CAS-ual Fridays and 

Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge have linked up this

week for a CAS Christmas theme.   Sorry, I do not have any
 CAS-ual Fridays Christmas stamps.  I went with the
snowflakes on the Christmas tree in the inspiration photo.

 

Supplies ~ Partial List

Stamp:  Reverse Confetti Tinsel 'N Trim

Paper: PTI White, Glitz & Glitter Bright Solids & Sweet Solids, Patterned Paper Doodlebug Designs 

     Lily White Sprinkles & Pebbles Basics Ash Chevron, several PTI & SU cardstocks

Dies:  PTI Fancy Flakes & Spellbinders Petite Scalloped Ovals Large

Additional Supplies:  Various Ribbons & Rhinestones, PTI Impression Plate, Sizzix & Cuttlebug

Harvest Blessings

Belated Happy World Card Making Day!
Two fall cards ~ for challenges at CASology,

Addicted to CAS and CAS(E) this Sketch.
I don't really have any "harvest" type stamps, so I just
used the word "harvest" and some leaves.
I wanted to try something different for the leaves,
so I sprayed light burlap with Mr. Huey's spray mists.
That was difficult to die cut and keep the small pieces from
falling off.  Next I tried spraying felt and was happier with the
results and later how it cut, except that it took FOREVER to dry.
I liked that I was able to get some variations in color.

Supplies ~

Stamps:  The Craft's Meow Harvest Blessings

Paper:  PTI White, SU Tangerine Tango

Ink:  SU Tangerine Tango, Mister Huey's Color Mists ~ Taxi, Hot Dog, Sunshine, Real Red & Letter Jacket

Dies:  PTI Leaf Prints (burlap) & Cuttlebug (felt)

Additional Supplies:  PTI Woodgrain Impression Plate
