Hey Crafty Friends!!!
It is a snow day in my world. I am popping in with a some cards for some challenges. I had fun creating with some of my Spellbinder's Club Dies. I used my November and December 2025 Small Die of the Month for my cards.
For my first card, I used this week's Freshly Made Sketches #720 as my inspiration for the layout of my card. I am also entering this into Just Us Girls Challenge#807-Stencil Week.
I had fun using two stencils on this card. I used a Taylor Expressions rectangle stencil with Candied Apple and Lumberjack Plaid Distress Ink. I then used a heart stencil by Pretty Pink Posh over the red to make my hearts.
I then watered down some Gold Crush Lunar Paste and a paint brush to splatter my card. It didn't work as well as I wanted but that's okay.
I layered two circles and then my die cut images from November's Let's Do Brunch dies set from Spellbinders. I LOVE how this came out and had SO MUCH FUN making this. I so needed this after Saturday.
For my next card, I used a couple more challenges for inspiration. I used Time Out Challenges #305-Favorite Technique as the initial inspiration. My favorite technique is using die cuts on a card. I am also going to enter this card into Simon Says Stamp's Monday Challenge-Have a Heart.

I die cut my owls out of white cardstock and shaded the pieces in with Lost Shadow Distress Ink.
The hearts were die cut from a pinky/purple cardstock and then shaded in with a purple ink from an old WPlus9 ink pad. I miss that company!! I layered my little owls over scraps of pattern paper.
The sentiment is from an old MFT More Essential Sentiments stamp set. I miss this company too!!
My last card is another card that I created for this month's Cupcake Inspirations Challenge. Challenge #633 is to use the colors GRAPE, FIG and BEIGE on a card.
I used a die from Spellbinder's Advent Calendar 2025 for my card.
Isn't that little dog so cute? I am giving this card to my daughter. She is a dog lover and I know she will enjoy this card.
It is hard to tell but my dog is beige. I used an old We R Memory Keeper's embossing folder for my background and then splattered it with ink.
I am going to be honest with you, these colors were HARD for me to use. I am not a fan of that fig color. It is a bit more orange colored in the challenge badge BUT I didn't have any ink or cardstock that was that color so I used what I had.
Well, I want to enter my cards into the challenges because before they close. Thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!!

Such a fun take on the sketch with your champagne glasses and glossy hearts! Thanks for linking up to FMS this week!
Fabulous cards! All these die cuts are just wonderful and your faces on the champagne glasses are too cute! Thanks so much for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.
These are all so great. Love your champagne card, what fun! So glad to see you this week at FMS!
It looks like you had a productive day staying in out of the snow and cold, Nora. The champagne flutes make a great valentine or anniversary card and I love that the stenciled hearts aren't too bold. Thanks for sharing that card with us at Just Us Girls. I'm an owl lover and those two are adorable. Thanks for sharing that one at Time Out.
Fabulous collection of cards from your snow day! I love the stenciled rectangle with the subtle stenciled hearts. Those champagne flutes with their smiley faces are just too cute. Fun design! Thanks for playing along with us at JUGS!
