Card Challenge for Monday, May 31, 2021

Here are the cards I made from the pieces I sent to you... all stamped from D1953 Cattitude, from the Annual catalog.

On the first card I added a piece of almond card stock, die cut and placed behind the "have a purrfect birthday".  I added a heart brad from my stash.  I colored the background with the TriBlend Ice Grey marker.  I also colored the cardboard boxes (which is where I got the idea for the almond tag) and the hearts.

On the second card, I colored the background in black, cut it down, and glued it to the card front.  I added some stamped hearts that I found on another stamp set (Z3914 Sweet Safari) and that I thought matched the hearts on the cats collars.

Happy stamping!

 

Challenge for Monday, May 17, 2021

 Hi all!

Here are the cards I made using some of the pieces I mailed to you... 

The top card only uses pieces you received in the mail.  The paper is from Hillside Cottage, and the stamp set + thin cuts is Hillside Cottage -- cardmaking stamp set.  The horse is stamped in paprika ink.

The second card uses a flower from the Hillside Cottage cardmaking workshop.  The mat card stock is white daisy and blue belle... the B&T paper is from last catalog mix-in paper pack.  The vine stamp is from the March SOTM... S2103 Winged Masterpiece.

Happy stamping!!

Challenge for Monday, May 10, 2021

I have one card to share for this Monday's challenge... if/when I get more done I will post them.

I had a medical (eye) appointment on Friday morning and spent the rest of the day in a dilated fog... so I am running behind, particularly of things that need good vision.  The card below uses some of the items you received in the mail, with the exception of a piece of raspberry card stock and the white daisy banner pieces.

The paper is from Dream Pop, long retired.

The stamps/thin cuts are Z3954 So Tweet Stamp + Thin Cuts.

I have no idea about the card stock... from my stash... though I believe it to be a retired CTMH color.

Enjoy!

Challenge for Monday, May 3rd, 2021

 Here is the challenge card for May 3rd, plus a second card that I made from the pieces I sent you.  My gray and white plaid piece on the first card is a little narrower than yours... I ran out of paper!  I also went through my dies and cut out all the sentiments with different die shapes that I had.

The second card has an addition of leaves that I cut using a punch... in hindsight would have been just as easy to just cut some pointy leaf shapes freehand and place them behind the lemons... mine are kind of small next to the lemons!  I just wanted a touch of green to break up the yellow! In this card, the cut lemon is raised.

I also did a 3rd card using the apple... will wait and show you Monday night!  Don't want to block your creativity!!  Remember, you don't have to use the pieces the way I did...

Happy stamping!!
