I dug out my My Favorite Things Dies for my houses and shaded them in with Distress Inks.

I thought putting them in a line at the top would be perfect. I added a piece of pattern paper to ground this.

A Few Cards for Some Challenges

(Some links in this post are Affiliate Links used at no extra cost to you.)

Hey Friends!!

I am just popping in with some cards for some challenges. I have been busy making Christmas cards the past few weekends as I intend to send hand made cards to my Christmas card list.

My first card, I am entering into the Jingle Bells Blog Challenge. The theme was "Hard Candy." 

I used The Stamp Market's Sweet Holiday Wishes Stamps and Dies (retired) to create this card. 

I decided to use pink and green for my card because sometimes I love non-traditional color Christmas colors.

My next two cards were created for this weeks The Paper Players Challenge. It was a color challenge this week-red, green and gold. I also entering it into The Tic Tac Toe Challenge. I used the diagonal for the challenge-gold, metallic, and cream/vanilla.

 

Here are the cards below:

I used the following dies from Spellbinder's Paper Arts on this card: Christmas Blooms, Parcel and Post Mailbox, Parcel & Post Christmas Decorations and Holiday Blooms. 

The background was created with an embossing folder by Richard Gary. The sentiments are a combination of stamps, Tagged Elegance from The Greetery and Typed Christmas from Hello Bluebird (one of my all time favorite sets!!.)

My second card is similar than the card above but with a different background and layered die cuts.

I can't tell what card I like best. Can you?

My next card I created for this weeks Just Us Girls Challenge #705 and Challenge #201 from The Card Concept.

 

The card I created for these two challenges is below:

I was inspired by the colors of the leaves from The Card Concept's badge and used the theme of Thanks for the Just Us Girls Challenge. 

The stamps and paper are retired sets from The Stamp Market. The banner is from Altenew.

Well, that is all from me today. Be sure to pop in tomorrow to see the NEW Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #582!!!

Thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

There is Still Time to Play at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #581

Hi Friends!!!

Just popping in to remind you that there is still time to play with us at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #581. It is a color challenge this week. It is to use Coffee, Denim Blue and Cream. 

We have a sponsor this week. I used Newton's Nook Designs Chrysanthemum Stamps and Dies on my card. 

I had a lot of fun creating this card. I stamped the Chrysanthemum on white cardstock and colored it in with Copic Markers. I then die cut it and adhered it to a piece of cream cardstock. Below is the badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #581.

I then tucked some leaves that I die cut from the Newton's Nook Designs Autumn Leaves behind the panel on the left.

I layered everything over a dark brown, A2 Card base.
