Season's Greetings

This holiday card is for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge "Oh So Cute!" Plus I am trying to get ahead on my holiday cards with Jenn Shurkus's "Get Cracking on Christmas Challenge. Check out her gorgeous card for this month by following the link. This card project uses an older stamp from Sunny Studio called "Snow Kissed" and the die scene from Sugar Pea Designs. Added in a few evergreen boughs and created this cute scene of the Penguin skating on a sheet of glitter paper! I also decorated an envelope to match.

Super Hero

I had sent a bunch of thank you cards to the staff at my local nursing homes and assisted living facilities a while back, but I found one lonely left over medical worker hiding on my desk. I decided not to let her go to waste. These images were offered for free from My Favorite Things, which was a wonderful gift for the crafting world. I decided to follow the sketch for this week. You will find the entries here - MFT Wednesday Sketch 503.



Autumn Blessings

This card for fall only has a bit of stamping - the greeting from SSS Autumn Greetings, and lots of die cut leaves - the DieNamics Autumn Wreath set. I selected several MFT pattern papers in the Challenge colors and made my own wreath design (so easy.) The lemon drop panel is mounted on some milk chocolate card stock and it's complete! Entering this in the My Favorite Things Color Challenge #147.

Happy Dance

Today I challenged myself to make a card which would fit into both of the My Favorite Things weekly challenges. So, here it is! The MFT stamp set is "It's a Mice Time to Celebrate." Check out the color chart and the sketch design below. I flipped the sketch on its side. Placing this card on the MFT Color Challenge #147 and MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #502.

Ice Cream

What's better than ice cream on a hot day? A birthday with ice cream on a hot day of course! Here's one I made with several different products, colored with copic markers just for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge "Summer Memories" and Wednesday Challenge "Midsummer Blues."



Thinking

A quick entry for Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, "Midsummer Blues" since this card features blue colors, a "blue" sentiment "Thinking About You," and a summer-y chair scene. I water colored this with Zig Real Clean Brush Markers. Adding it to SSS Monday Challenge, too,

What's Up, Buttercup?

I recently registered for the Altenew Small Stamp club and this adorable stamp came in the mail, "Delight Buttercup." Even though it's a small stamp of 1 flower, it has multiple layers. I stamped it with several yellow inks and paired it with the "Leaf Canopy" stamp/die, and a piece of the "Cozy Flannel Cover-up" die. All this was inspired by the August 2020 Inspiration Challenge. I am also going to place this in the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Summer Memories.
