Yep, it did so what's a girl to do? Make cards, of course! Here's three cards I put together for a few challenges. I'll keep the post short, I promise!
First up, it's a one layer card for the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge (Middle row down):
Lots of heat embossing on this one using 4 different types of EP. I thought the slate gray cardstock would be "elegant."
The next card was to play along over at the Paper Craft Crew. I just loved the sketch this week:
I was happy to ink up one of my new stamp sets from Stampin' Up called Smitten Mittens. I AM smitten!
The last card is for CASology's latest cue:
Sharp antlers are everywhere around my neighborhood right now. It's "Rut" season and all those handsome bucks are looking for girlfriends. The way it's going I think there will be a LOT of fawns around here in the spring!
Thanks so much for visiting and I hope you're having a terrific weekend!
Hi there! Our football team is off today so I went to play in the Dog House aka My Happy Place. I came upon a challenge I had never played before from the Paper Craft Crew and thought I'd give it a whirl!
I needed a masculine Christmas card for a very dear friend. He's definitely a minimalist so I thought the first row down would work well - Holiday Celebrations, Natural Elements, and Favorite Stamp Set:
On a Kraft card base, I layered a brick embossed (Tim Holtz) stitched rectangle that I had swiped with Simon Say's Barely Beige and MFT's Kraft ink pads. The tree die cut (Concord & 9th) was from a piece of handmade paper from Mexico that is made with natural wood fibers. I've hoarded it forever...but it didn't hurt too much when I cut it! I die cut a burlap star to top the tree. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment in Catherine Pooler's brown ink called Icing on the Cake. The handwritten Christmas sentiment stamp set is one of my all time faves this season.
I hope this fits the bill for the challenge :) Thanks so much for visiting and I hope you have a fantastic week!
