Happy Little Stampers October - One Layer Cards

Hello...popping in with my card for the new challenge up at Happy Little Stamps CAS - One Layer Cards. I typically do not make one layer cards, I had these fabulous stamps out from Kerri Bradford and it just seemed to come together. I hope you will find the time to play along with us. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy your day!

Papertrey Ink July 2013 Blog Hop

It's July 25th and that means a couple of things...the first one being it is Christmas in July, so for those of you who celebrate...Merry Christmas! And the other big event today is PTI's monthly blog hop and this month the inspiration was fabulous, 6 beautiful color combinations.  I tried to make one card for each but that did not happen, I made 4, so not too bad.  Warning...lots of NBUS on this post too! Be sure to stop by Nichole's blog - Capture the Moment to see all the wonderful cards that are there, I know they will be amazing and very inspiring.

Thank you so much for taking time to stop by to peek at my cards...have a wonderful week!

Since 3 of my 4 cards are for birthday's I am adding these to the current challenges over at Seize the Birthday and Moxie Fab World - Birthday Cards...Seize the Birthday challenge goes until the 6th of August and Moxie Fab World Birthday Card goes until August 12th, so still plenty of time to play along.

PTI Make It Monday #42:Layered Background with Sentiment Stamps

It's Monday again and that means another Make It Monday challenge. After watching the video that Betsy provided for this weeks MIM, I decided to the plunge and make one of my own.  I decided to continue on with the holiday theme and ink up my set of PTI Holiday Lights stamp set.  This set has so many possibilities and I am really looking forward to using it for Valentine's Day cards as well. 

This card uses a few different techniques that were fun to do.  First I inked the edges in spring moss and then stamped off twice before stamping the sentiments on the fillable frames to give a subtle look.  I stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment in red and centered it on a beautiful snowflake die that my friend Joyce from Cards-by-the-Sea was sweet enough to share with me.

Thanks for taking a peek!

First Waltzingmouse Blog Waltz -

I have been so excited to join the rest of you in my first blog waltz! My card was almost one of those "self assembling" cards that my friend Joyce from Cards-by-the-Sea always talks about, you just leave the supplies on you desk...walk away and your card is complete! My card was inspried from one that I made for a challenge that is called "4 of a Kind" and this months kit (Renee sent out stamped images from the Sewing Box - Christmas set) was sent out by Renee from "It's A Patchwork Life". I made my first card for the our challenge and then had plenty of supplies left over and like I said, the card pretty much made itself! Thanks for taking a peek!

4 of a Kind Challenge - Take 4

It's that time again for the 4 of a Kind Challenge! This month's kit was so festive and so much fun and I got to use some new stamps too.  Renee from It's A Patchwork Life sent out the kits and since she is a Mischief Maker for Waltzingmouse stamps she sent enough supplies to create lot os mischeif on my craft desk. There were enough supplies to make several cards but I am only posting one for this challenge and will post the second one fr the my Blog Waltz with WMS a few days later. 
Renee has a very cool prize for one lucky person who leaves a comment.  The prize is a set of Waltzingmouse Stamps! So please check out the other three blogs and leave comments and one of you will be choosen at random.

Renee - It's A Patchwork Life

Joyce - Cards-by-the-Sea

Cathy - Empty Nest Crafter

This is a picture of the wonderful kit Renee sent...

and this is my take on the kit...

I fell in love with the mittens the second I saw them in the kit and knew they had to be the centerpiece of my card.  The snowflakes are the cutest buttons you have ever seen and then I added the little red pearls on top to brighten them up.  Thanks for taking a peek!
