Merry Monday #224 - Masculine Christmas

I am submitting this card to the current Merry Monday Challenge with the theme of masculine Christmas. This image is a very old SU! stamp. It was colored with SU! markers and then die cut. I mounted it onto this plaid paper and then I ran it through the Cuttlebug to emboss. The piece was put together and attached to a piece of handsome hunter card stock (I actually opened a package which I had not used). The sentiment was added and I made some snowflakes with a pearl pen.

Many of my cards I make I donate to charities and this card I will forward to Card Care Connection and they requested more winter-like cards. This is a great non-profit group and I am happy to share my cards with them.

Seize the Birthday - PRESENTS

The stamp is from Hero Arts and I heat embossed it onto Neenah. This piece was die cut with one of my favorite sets from Sugar Pea (Journal Card) and I also die cut the two pink flowers. I matted with black card stock and then attached with mounting tape to a second mat of designer paper from Lasting Impressions. The final layer is white card stock and then I added enamel dots.

Merry Monday Christmas #223 - (Dark blue, Light Blue and Pink)

This card for Merry Monday challenge uses stamps from Purple Onion Design. After stamping the image on white card stock I stamped on three pieces of designer paper and then began piecing. The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed. I trimmed this piece and attached to a piece of pink paper and then mounted onto white card stock.

CASology: Week 225 - SOFT

When I saw the cue word of soft I thought of a blanket and then I thought of this adorable stamp. Thanksgiving is just two days away, here in the states, and I have much to do which includes cleaning the craft/guest room. Before I put all my craft supplies away I decided to quickly make this card. I love using kraft paper and heat embossing so this card really is CAS. The bear was colored with pencils and a blender pen. I chose to stamp the sentiment so that the design was square like. This will be a great card for a friend who will be a grandmother in two months.

Supplies:

Stamps: Image no name, sentiment Paper Smooches "Chit Chat"

Ink: Inktense Ink Pencils, VersaMark

Today I am submitting this card to Simon Says Wednesday Challenge with the theme of Christmas Critters. Also I am sending it to two sisters, Kaydence and Salem Weaver, at the request of SAS4Kids challenge.

This card began with stamping and die cutting the seal and coloring with Copics. I embossed the Cuttlebug folder and then ran ink over the image. I used a SU! punch to cut the sentiment and it and the image were adhered to the embossed piece with mounting tape.

CASology Week 224: EMBRACE

The theme this week for Casology is embrace. I chose this image from House Mouse

 which I colored with Copics and then fussy cut. A piece of Neenah was masked and then I used Distress ink Salty Ocean. The sentiment from Unity was stamped and then this piece was trimmed and attached to the base card.
