A Few Challenge Cards

 Hi everyone!! Long time no see!!

Just popping in with a couple of cards for some challenges. I have been creating but not blogging cards lately. I have been too busy still organizing and shopping for my new craft room. I just want it all to be done!!! 

The first card I am entering into the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #96. It is all about the BIRTHDAY!!!

I dug out my taco set-Lawn Fawn Year 9-and matching Year 9 Dies-to make this card. I did a bit of no line coloring for my taco with Copic Markers and layered it over a SSS Mix and Match Circles that I stamped in red, as well as a balloon, which I had in my stash. 

I added some pattern paper that I NEVER use but am obsessed with buying, in the back of everything. The layout design was inspired by The Paper Craft Crew Sketch #414. Again, I am entering this into the Lawn Fawnatics Birthday Challenge #96 as well. 

I loved this card so much, I created a second version. 

I added splatters from the sketch on this one, as well as made the sentiment a continuous strip.

I love how these came out!!! I can send to either a girl or a boy!

I am going to enter the second card into the Watercooler Wednesday Card Challenge #310: All About Occasions. 

My second card I created using my Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Tulip. 

I have a monthly subscription to get the Paint-A-Flower sets but barely use them. I decided when I was going through all my stamps that I was going to make some cards with them.

I used my Copic markers to color this in and then went over the flowers with a Clear Glitter Brush Pen. 

I used a sentiment strip from my stash but I have not idea who created it!!

I am going to enter this into this months's Flower Challenge #54: Shades of Purple. I might be pushing it here as I have other colors on this but think the purple is what stands out on this card. 

Well, that is all from me today. I wanted to get these posted before I forgot. I hope you have a FABULOUS day!!

My Turn on the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog Inspired by Pinterest

Thank you for taking the time to stop by!!!

Valentine's Eve

 Happy Saturday!!! I am just popping in with two more cars that I created for some challenges. They are Valentine themed, which cracks me up since we don't really celebrate Valentine's Day in my home!!! My birthday is on February 15th so we just roll it into one.

I created my first card for my daughter, though I should have made it for my husband!! He LOVES Pandas!!!

This card was inspired by this weeks Global Design Projects Sketch #278 and this weeks colors on The Color Throwdown #629 badge. 

Instead of ombre stripes like on the sketch, I used a Heart Border die from Mama Elephant. I chose to die cut it from the colors on the Color Throwdown badge.

The panda was dug out from my stash of colored in images. It is from the Lovely Pandas by Gerda Steiner.

The sentiment strips were from Taylored Expressions Mini Strips Valentine. I tucked some die cut hearts around the little bear that were die cut from a retired CAS-Fridays die.

My second card I had fun creating using Pretty Pink Posh's Layered Heart Stencil and a die cut sentiment using SSS's Big Valentine's Day die.  

I used the new Kitsch Flamingo Distress Ink along with Candied Apple and Spun Sugar.

The sentiment is three layers of red cardstock that I covered with Christmas Red Stickles to give it some sparkle and shine.  

I am entering this card into some challenges too. I am entering this into Watercooler Wednesdays WWC 308, The Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #152 and The Card Concept #148. The WWC308 was to create a card for an occasion and the colors were inspired by The Cupcake Inspiration and The Card Concept.

That is all from me today. I have one more card I created for Valentine's Day but I had to fix a boo boo and need to let it dry. I will post it maybe tomorrow.

Have a FABULOUS night!!

I Love You More

 Happy Tuesday!! It has been snowing here all day and I had a couple hours in my craft room. I created a couple of Valentines.

The first I used Inspired by Challenges (#IB160). 

I used both the badge and the sketch to create my card.

I used the new Ranger Kitsch Flamingo Distress Ink to blend behind my heart that I die cut from some 49 and Market Vintage Artistry Paper.

The hearts behind my kraft heart are from Simon Says Stamp Stacked Hearts Die and the Macrame Borders and Tassels dies for the border is from The Greetery. 

For my second card was inspired by The Card Concept Challenge #148 and Just Us Girls #570 Valentines. I used the sketch from Try Stamping On Tuesday. 

 

I started off with using a pattern paper background.

The die cut hearts are from Lawn Fawn-Candy Hearts. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things "My Galantine."

That is all from me tonight. I thank you for taking the time to stop by.
