Hey Friends!!
Today I am popping in with some cards that I created for some challenges. I have to say that I have NOT been in my craft room lately. We are having 16 people for Thanksgiving and I have been cleaning up a storm. I do not have a huge house so I am happy to host the holiday, I am stressed about where everyone will sit!!!
My first card that I am posting I created using a few challenges.
I had fun combining a bunch of different products for this card. I used the Tessellating Snowflakes Embossing Folder by Simon Says Stamp for my background. The present "stamps," the bows and the stencils are all from Waffle Flower Crafts.
The holly is from Spellbinder's and the snowflakes are from my stash. I LOVE how this card came out!!
I am entering this into the following challenge-Inspirational Challenge #355 (I was inspired by the holly tag), The 52 Christmas Card Throwdown-(use of stamps on a card), and the Inspired By...#363-(napkin photo-I was inspired by the snowflakes and the kraft color)
My second card is NOT a Christmas card. I actually created two. One is a 5" by 7" card and the other is an A2 sized card.
I am showing my larger card first. I started off by using the Spellbinders 3D Beautiful Butterflies embossing folder. I added some flowers by from the Spellbinders Large Die of the Month Club that were from January 2023. I have been trying to go through my stash and dig out things that I have not used yet and this set was one of them.
The oval die is from the Double Stitched Elongated Oval die set by Pinkfresh Studio.
The sentiment is the new Everything Will Be Okay stamps/dies by Kristina Werner for Concord & 9th.
This card was inspired by last week's Freshly Made Sketches #713, Just Add Ink #774-Stencils/Dies or both, the Tic Tac Toe Challenge #284-the diagonal-embellishments, free, flowers and The Beautiful Blossom Challenge #35-Anything Goes.
I used the same die for the flowers and leaves, the same stamp/die set for my sentiment but changed the background to a piece of pattern paper from the Fancy Pants Making Waves 6" by 6" paper pad.
You can see my little thread nest underneath the flowers better on this card than my first card. I used the Metallic Thread by Altenew.

Nora, this is a gorgeous card with a lovely design. Thanks for playing along with us at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge and we invite you to share again soon. When we used to host family Thanksgiving here (when children were young and all in-laws were still living), card tables were my best friend. Happy Thanksgiving!
