Peace on Earth #74

Peace on Earth has such a wonderful mood board and it inspired me to make a card featuring a fox.  

I love the Heart Hug critters from Honey Bee and cut the fox from brown and rustic cream cardstock.  His candy cane is from the Spellbinders Christmas Wonder set and the dome die from Waffle Flower.  The background is Catherine Pooler's Peppermint Stick stamp inked in her Rockin' Red ink and the sentiment is from one of her older stamp sets. 

Edited to add:  I just saw the challenge at Jingle Belles and my card fits there beautifully.

The Flower Challenge #90

Hey there friends.  I'm glad you dropped by.

Can you believe April is here already?  It's a new month and time for the next The Flower Challenge.

With so many layering dies and background cover plates it should be easy to make a card with layers.  For lots of inspiration check out what the Design Team has made.  Here's my card.

I ran across a Brusho panel in my Bits box and thought it would make great crocuses.  I needed something to put them in and the teapot from Honey Bee came to the rescue.  It was cut from yellow cardstock,  inked in white with a brayer to highlight the raised portions and clear heat embossed to give it a fine china look.  The dome from Waffle Flower is embossed with the Tasteful Textiles folder from SU, layered for dimension and mounted on a Dove Gray card base.

We'd love to see your layered card in our gallery.

The Card Concept #193a

After reading the definitions of the acceptable card styles on The Card Concept I wasn't quite sure where my card fits, if at all.  It's either clean and layered, although I have no white space, or Freestyle Collage? Anyway I love this baby card that I created for my husband's grandson and his wife who are expecting a little one this summer.

That fox from HoneyBee's Heart Hugs is so cute I couldn't resist using him on my card.  He's cut from white and inked with Altenew Dusty Rose.  The background is a stencil from Winnie and Walter that was turned 90 degrees after the first inking to make a plaid.  The sentiment was stamped on Soft Stone that was cut with a Waffle Flower dome and then embossed with a quilt folder.

I'm so glad you dropped by.  Have a wonderful day!

CAS Christmas - Silhouette

The Design Team at CAS Christmas made some wonderful silhouette cards and inspired me to do this one.

I blended Chipped Sapphire DI on my cardstock and then cut it with the MFT dome die.  The wise men are from Woodware and the sentiment from My Craft Spot (oob).  This one would be easy to reproduce.

Thanks for dropping by.  Take care.

 

Addicted to Stamps and More #314

It's Clean and Simple time at Addicted to Stamps and More.  Here's my card.

I wanted something to send to my granddaughter and I thought this little squirrel from Gerda Steiner would lift her up.  He's colored with PolyChromos and placed inside a panel cut with MFT's domed die.  The panel was raised over a stenciled background with foam tape and a heat embossed sentiment added.

What will you make for our CAS challenge?
