WMS Flowers

I've got 3 cards all using the new Waltzingmouse Stamps Floral Spring and Funky Flowers.  I've got a card order to send off this week, so making a few fun cards for that.  The top card uses May Arts chevron, ruched ruffle and burlap string.  If you missed the May Arts website launch party click here, to see my project click here.

The challenge CAS on Sunday's theme is floral so these cards work well for that challenge.

Happy Birthday card and tag

Happy Saturday friends...  I wanted to play along with the fabulous 10 Minute Craft Dash, so this morning in my pre-coffee state I tried to make a card using the technique Dawn talks about here, but then I cropped the card and totally misaligned the paper cutter chopping it off in a non-useable way.  So I left the chopped card went to the gym, the Farmers Market and then came home and had some coffee.

Take 2 of the same card (so I'm not sure if that's considered cheating) took me 8 minutes and 46 seconds (and that includes my mother walking in and talking to me while crafting).  I love that she asks who the card is for and I'm often answering, "No one, it's for a challenge" and she doesn't get it.  Moxie Fab World is having a Birthday Card Challenge, so this works for that one too.

But then I thought about how I should play along with the Moxie Fab World Birthday challenges before the deadline and I took that "ruined" card and turned it into a tag... so my tag-centric week on my blog continues :)  This tag also works for the CAS on Sunday "Tag It" challenge and this week's PTI Make It Monday "random background" challenge.

wishing you warm wishes

Wishing you warm wishes....    I've made a fun little holiday tag for a few challenges.  I started with some Cosmo Cricket paper (thank you Jenyfur) and die cut two tags with the PTI Tag It die.   I added the Paper Smooches take out coffee mug, paper pierced the holder with the coordinating paper and then added some May Arts faux canvas ribbon pleats and part of a doily.  I wanted to play along with the Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge (sheer and clear), plus Savannah's challenge over at Yvonne's Do More with Less (and I've got a few hours before the deadline).  So I played with the sentiments (a combo of Hero Arts and Paper Smooches) to create the sentiment.  And lastly the Moxie Fab World Holiday Cards & More gift tag challenge had my name on it.   And thanks Barb for letting me know this would be a good entry for CAS on Sunday "Tag" it challenge.

Valentine's Day wine tag and card

Yesterday I made this Valentine's Day bag and this morning I decided to make a wine tag to match.  I used the PTI Make It Monday "Diecut Double Up" and I also used the Hero Arts Feb sketch.  I'm going to use both of these goodies in a fun Valentine's Day giveaway on my work blog (next on the to do list, check back later).

And this CAS Valentine's Day card was loosely based on the current Artful Delight sketch (just ignore the sentiment and you're good to go).  There's a new CAS challenge "CAS On Sunday" and their first theme is "Be My Valentine."

And Mr. Ben is playing along with the sketch as well... "Thanks for everything and the TV", oh dear....   At least he has good taste in ribbon?  And speaking of ribbon, the May Arts Valentine's Day hop has begun, go visit the blog to see the hops along the way (my official project is coming later in the week).
