Tic Tac Toe #242 and a Prayer card

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

Whether we like it or not, we have a need for sympathy cards and since my supply was getting low I decided to use the challenge at Tic Tac Toe to make a couple for my stash. 

I used the left column down: CAS, metallic, foliage.   The  SSS leaf die was large enough to get two cards.  Cut from green metallic paper, half the branch was placed on a stitched panel I found in my Bits box.  The sentiment from Avery Elle was already in the package cut in this light green that I thought worked well.  Here's a close-up so you can see the metallic shine of the leaves.

And here's the card made with the other half of the leaves.  This one is on an embossed panel. 

Sometimes I don't put a sentiment on a card, either because I don't know what to put or the card looks good without one, and that worked to my advantage since I needed a couple of prayer cards for friends having health issues.  

I pulled this card from my birthday box and cut the SSS prayers die from the same Honey Bee paper that the flower was made from.  The sub-sentiment is from the same set as the die.   

What about you?  Do you ever leave sentiments off to choose one when you need it?

Color Hues #75

I have a second card for Color Hues.  

I actually made this background with Mica sprays first but thought it was too dark for the challenge colors.  After seeing other entries I decided to send it anyway.  The wreath and bow die is from Penny Black cut from silver and purple foil.  Sequins were added as ornaments.

Can You Handle the Pressure? Hearts

Happy Birthday to Can You Handle the Pressure?!  They have been going strong for a year, encouraging us to use our embossing folders.  I have quite a few that haven't seen any love in quite a while but the one on my card today is fairly new.

It's a Stampin' Cut and Emboss from SU that my sister gave me called Bouquet of Love.  I thought it would make a wonderful wedding card for my granddaughter who is getting married in October.  Nothing like planning ahead. 😁  The heart is layered for dimension and the panel mounted on Altenew Rose Gold metallic cardstock.  Their Rose Gold embossing powder was used on the sentiment from The Greetery and cut with a die from the same SU set. 

Thanks for dropping by.  Have a great week!

Merry Monday #289

It's funny how sometimes code words or themes run through challenges.  I did a card with stars for one challenge and now Merry Monday is asking for a star. 

I got these layered stars on Amazon and decided to cut them from Neenah metallic papers, using two of the four colors in the pack on the star and one for the background.  The sentiment from MCS is embossed in platinum.  It's a pretty QACAS card (quick and clean and simple) and looks much better IRL.
