Happiest of Birthdays for Paper Players #464

Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous LeAnne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge and it's clean and simple week. I decided to make use of some of the new DSP I got from SU. It's supposed to be Christmas paper, but I think that some of the images on the DSP work well for many other occasions. I used a soft pink sheet for my card. I used a die to die cut a piece of vellum. I colored the vellum on the reverse side with a soft silvery/gold water color ink from Kuretake. I let it dry... Read more →

Beautiful Friendships for Paper Players #463

Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Laurie's turn to host our Paper Players challenge and it's color week: My problem with this color scheme was how to make a card using obviously Halloween colors - but not make a Halloween card :-) Mind you, one of my besties does celebrate her birthday on Halloween... so the colors and the birthday card are perfect for her :-) I started with a Vanilla base... I know... shock! Me using a non-white base! I began by stamping the flowers onto the base and then added the sentiment onto the focal layer. I... Read more →

Plaid Leaf Canopy for Addicted to CAS #170

Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday. It's the fabulous Angie's turn to host our challenge at Addicted to CAS this week and here is her code word: I have to confess, I didn't have much in the way of plaid in my stash when I made this card, so I was a little limited by the colors in the only piece I had available :-) However, I needed a masculine thank you card, so thought the colors were fine for that purpose! I used an Altenew die to die-cut the leaves and mounted them onto a very vanilla layer and then onto... Read more →

Feather Finery for Casethissketch and Casology

Hi Everyone. Happy Wednesday. I hope you are all enjoying this fabulous fall weather. It's been simply glorious here the last couple of days! I made a card for two challenges - the sketch across at Casethissketch and it worked very well with the theme across at Casology Whilst I was working out what to do with these challenges, I had a packet of Powder Pink card stock on my craft table... newly arrived from my Paper Players friend, LeAnne. For some reason, I completely missed this color whilst it was an In Color. Mind you, I generally avoid pinks... Read more →

Nine Lives for Freshly Made Sketches

Hi Everyone. Happy Monday. I have a quick post for you today - getting another card for Lou - under the wire - at Freshly Made. I used my square stitched rectangle dies to cut out three spaces. I stamped the cat from the SU Nine Lives set 3 times and colored them to look like three of our kitties - Bailey - he's an orange and white tabby (but with MUCH more hair!); Charlie our black and white cat and Muffin, our grey and cream muted calico. Here's my card: Of course, as the only female in the house,... Read more →
