CHRISTMAS DEER

I saw an IG post by Katharina Tarta Crafts this past week and it inspired me to make a similar card with some dies and paper that I already had.

The deer are from IO, trees from Hero Arts and not sure about the paper.  The little sentiment is from Paper Rose.  All the dies and paper are old and no longer available.  I added tiny gold stars in the background for some sparkle.  The fawn was cut twice for stability.  It's an easy card to make once you figure out the dimensions.

I am entering my card at the Creative Creases Challenge - Anything Goes.

Thanks for stopping by.

THE COLOR LILAC

Spellbinders has a challenge going on right now to use the color lilac and of course their products.  Haven't entered a challenge in ages, but today I decided  to have a go even tho lilac is not my "go to" color.  

I used my new Spellbinders envelope die with flowers from the same set and  and their arch die for the tag.  The embossing on the envelope is from their embossing club offer from March 2022 called Garden Path. A silk ribbon bow finished it off.  The papers I used are from a Memory Box pad of different shades of purple - perfect for creating my card.

Thank for stopping by.

 

It's time for another TicTacToe Challenge - it's #260 designed by Vicky!  I went down the left side with ink blending, CAS and die cut.

Die cut the base for the card with an arch die and embossed the smaller arch die cut center.  Die cut the poinsettia, leaves and sprigs from white cs and ink blended the center of the flower with a bit of pink.  Also added a bit of pink to the embossed area.  A pink sequin in the center and done!

Hope to see your card in our challenge - you have until 21 November to enter.  Crafty hugs,

 

DOORWAY CAT

Had fun making my for the current TicTacToe Challenge #258 designed by Felicita.  Wanted to do something with the french door dies and finally came up with this idea.  I went down the middle with leaves/foliage, thank you and die cuts.

Had a terrible time photographing the inside of the card as those doors just didn't want to stay open - but the inside says "so grateful for you".  The brick pp is from my stash and not sure where the door dies are from.  The pumpkin is from a long ago Papertrey Ink set as are the leaves from old Hero Arts - and who knows where the cat wandered in from:-)!!!  It is on an A2 card base so stands up nicely for display.

Thanks for stopping by today and look forward to your card in our gallery.  Crafty hugs,

 

ALTENEW OCTOBER CHALLENGE

 It's World Cardmaking Day so plan on trying to make as many cards as possible today.  I created my first for Altenew's Inspiration Challenge for October.

Stamped and embossed Altenew's poinsettia (no longer available) and then watercolored with wine berry, coral bliss and forest glades.  Fussy cut the flower and mounted on an arch die cut which had been embossed with SSS holiday greenery.  Small yellow sequins were added to the center of the flower.  Spattered with gold and added the little sentiment - done!

Thanks for stopping by.
