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.

Stamp:  Reverse Confetti Tinsel 'N Trim

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

More Baby Shower Thanks

Here is another set of thank you cards made for a baby shower gift.

I am entering them at Simon Says Stamp! Wednesday Challenge

for their Thanks / Thanksgiving challenge.  My previous post is a 

different set of baby thank you's.  Perhaps there was something

in the water seven to nine months ago ~ everyone I know who is 

pregnant is having a girl.  I think that using an embossing folder

or texture plate and a large sentiment is enough to make a nice set

of cards to give as a gift.  I usually make eight or twelve and find

that even being a slow cardmaker, I can still finish in a reasonable

amount of time.  I plan on working on more for Christmas gifts.

This is the baby card I made to go along with this gift.

Supplies (abbreviated) ~ If you have questions, I will be happy to answer them.

Stamps: all PTI

Paper:  PTI White, SU Very Vanilla, Regal Rose & Pretty in Pink

Ink:  PTI Hibiscus Burst & SU Chocolate Chip

Dies:  all PTI

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

Before & After

I made five baby shower invitations for a friend to choose

from, so I had four baby shower invites that I did not need.

I was able to change them into thank you cards for her.  I am 

entering them at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge 

where anything goes. 

The invitation this one was altered from is posted here.

The primary stamps and dies used are from PTI's  Baby Button Bits.

I'll be happy to answer any questions about supplies.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Big Hugs

A very quick card for the current challenge at CASology,

where the cue word is "free."  I thought of "free as a bird" and

"light as a feather."  This one is for my niece who tore her

ACL, and is facing surgery and a very long recovery.  I

am also entering this at Simon Says Stamp where this 

week "anything goes."

Work is crazy busy, and I am working overtime.  I am skipping the 

supply list.  I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Halloween or Thanksgiving?

Not sure if this will be for Halloween or Thanksgiving, so no sentiment yet.

I made it for three challenges ~ color at Dynamic Duos

Couldn't pass up that one since everything on the card is die cut, including the card ;).

First Day of Third Grade!

A card for two challenges ending at noon ~ CASology and ColourQ.

I suspect I am definitely in the minority of Moms who are sad 

to see the end of summer, and the beginning of the school year.

I hate having to work full time (and sometimes more), 

and really enjoy the extra time I have with my son in summer.

School beginning means many things, but definitely the end of

lazy days and a stricter schedule, hence my alarm clock image.

I made a card a few days ago for the ColourQ challenge. I

still can't decide if I like it, so I am not going to link it.
