BE MY VALENTINE

This is the card I made with my card class last week.  My group had a lot of fun designing their cards with all the puzzle pieces I had pre-cut for them.

I used a heart from Scrapbook.com (on sale for half price) and the puzzle pieces and sentiment from Waffle Flower - not sure about the die for the little hearts nor the background impression plate.  In their packet there was also two sentments - "Love you to pieces" and "Happy Valentine's Day". Can you see the one male participant?

All for now...

ALTENEW INSPIRATION CHALLENGE

Everytime I receive a package from Altenew I think of making a card from their beautiful packaging - today I finally did it!

I found an embossing folder with the same size dots as the bubbles of the package and used that for my background. I popped the bubble wrap bubbles to flatten the packaging a bit. Added the little sentiment and a few enamel dots and done.

Not sure my colors exactly match Altenew's January Inspiration Challenge but will enter it anyway.

 All for now.

SNOWFLAKE SPARKLES

Is it a Christmas card or maybe a winter birthday card or just a wait and see when needed card????  I couldn't decide so just left off the sentiment for the time being.  For sure it's the card designed for the current TicTacToe Challenge #262 with the board created by yours truly.  I went down the left side with white on white, gems and die cuts.

Started by embossing the background with a snowflake folder.  Then die cut several sizes of snowflakes and layered up with some clear gems in the middle.  Put it all together and sprayed with some glitter spray - wish it would show up in the photo 'cause it's so pretty and sparkly!  That's it until needed.

Hope you'll join our challenge even tho it's such a busy time of the year - maybe our cards will be an inspiration for that one last Christmas card you need to send.

Crafty hugs,

 

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.
