My green is a little off, I must say but it was the best I could do with what I had in my stash.

I do love how this came out and will be making more at a later date. I probably should not have added the witches hat but I thought it was too cute not to use.

That is all from me. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

Just a Reminder for the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #604

 Hello Friends!!!

Today I am popping in with a card to remind you that there is still time to play with this round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #604 is a THEME CHALLENGE-COOL CATS.

Once again, I only used the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #604 badge as my inspirations. I chose not to use the pink and purple.

I used an MFT Stamps once again for my cats. I used stamps and stencils for the background behind the cats.

The blue strips were created using a stencil. I decided to stitch on both sides of the white panel. Are they even? No but that was on purpose!!!

Christmas Cards for Some Challenges

Hey Friends!!! 

Just popping in with some cards that I created for some challenges. I had some new supplies that I bought and they were delivered this past week. I HAD to use them!!

My first card I created for this weeks Inspired By... Challenge #306. I used the colors from the badge-orange, peach, tan and the dark green of the leaves. The stamp set I used is from Pinkfresh Studio.

Below is the badge for #IB306.

I  used the Simon Says Stamp Tessellating Snowflakes embossing folder for my background. I die cut it using an old MFT Blueprints Die #27.

My next card was inspired by two challenges-Tuesday Morning Sketches #778 and the Color Throwdown #815.

Once again I used the same Pinkfresh Studio Festive Foliage Tree Stamp/Dies/Stencil set. 

I used another Simon Says Stamp embossing folder for the right side of my card.

For my third card, I used this the SAME stamp set but made a card for this weeks Jingle Belles Challenge. It was to use PINK on a card.

I did a little distressing on the edges of the bright pink cardstock and then cut off the tree so that I could put my sentiment on the embossed panel.

My last card I created using a bunch of die cuts that I had cut and put together over the year.

I used this weeks Freshly Made Sketches #658 as my inspiration for my card.

This sketch was PERFECT for all the tiny die cuts that I used. All of them are different Spellbinders dies.

Well that is all from me today. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS week!!

Popping in

 Hey Friends!!

I am just popping in with a quick card to make the deadline for the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge. 

I had a lot of fun yesterday with some Distress Sprays. I did a bit of smooshing and then layered some Distress Oxide Spray and Distress Mica Spray to create my orange leaf. I used this in lieu of a tag from the sketch.

I LOVE how it came out!! I then die cut a pumpkin out of cream cardstock and used Antique Linen Distress Ink to shade the pumpkin in to make it look a bit more realistic

I dug out pattern paper and then layered everything together. The sentiment is from Concord and 9th. In the photos it is a bit off but I fixed it after. I just didn't have time to take new photos. 

The sketch that inspired my card is below:

That is all from me today. Thanks for taking the time to stop by!! Have a FABULOUS day!

 Hello Friends!!!

I dug deep for this card as I used very OLD supplies. The stamps are from MFT Stamps. I have had these for YEARS and have NEVER inked them up.

The white panel that my cat and dog is on is an old Project Life rectangle that I had bought when I was scrapbooking. I used Twisted Citron Distress Ink to blend, stencil and stamp the background.

The octagon frame is a retired die from MFT Stamps and the pattern paper is from my stash. I had SO MUCH FUN making this card!!!
