kite card and a few more

Today's bounty of cards... crafting grounds me, brings me joy in the bits and pieces and gives me a very awesome sense of completion.  My cards are for a variety of challenges, the first one for CASology.  The second card for one of the April Mojo Monday sketches.  My third card is for the current Mix it Up SugarPea Designs challenge.  And my 4th card is for the Hero Arts Stay Crafty Challenge.

Round up of cards

Hey there, happy camper... I've been busy crafting this week and not sharing, so here's all the cards I've made in the last week.  Some where for the Inn Town Campground camp store, some for this month's card class, some for sale at Gather & Mill and some just being inspirationally challenge by online card challenges.

Playing along with last week's Inspired By Challenge.

hello

Hello!  I couldn't resist the colorful citrus temptation on the latest Tag You're It Challenge-- plus I love tags and I should find more opportunities to play with my not so small collection of dies.  And while this isn't my most CAS tag, I think it still works for the current challenge over at CASology.

true friends and more coffee fun

I'm back with a few more coffee cards for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog hop.  Really once I get on a caffeinated roll it's hard to stop.  My first card pairs Lil Inker goodies, shout out to my friend Karen for this awesome sentiment stamp.

This bookmark uses a letterpress kit I got ages ago and really should pull out again...

Using The Cat's Pajamas sentiment and a SugarPea Designs die.

This Simon Says Stamps sentiment makes me smile every time... perfectly paired with the MFT die.

Hero Arts patterned paper from ages ago, a PTI sentiment (I think?) and I think this might be a Paper Smooches coffee cup....  it was floating in the bottom of a drawer.

Impression Obsession coffee cup and sentiment with a Hero Arts background stamp.

Playing along with the current CASology Challenge using a Simon Says sentiment and CASual Fridays die with a Simon Says flower embossed on it.

This card uses a Neat and Tangled coffee cup and Lil Inker sentiment and PTI die.

heart cards and more...

Happy Sunday.  I've got a couple of cards to share today... my first card is for the CAS(E) this sketch.  We used alcohol inks at this week's card class and I was inspired from the blues to for the boys' Valentine's Day cards (which they made).  So I had a couple of left over hearts...

This card uses the current MFT sketch and inspiration from The Inspired By Challenge.

And this is a second attempt at inspiration from the Inspired By Challenge, the funny thing is that I don't like this card at all...  not sure why... but I found a sheet of Penny Black stickers that were perfect, so I die cut the sticker, added some water color background and used some MFT dies.  I promise to mail the card.

And this one I already linked up via Instagram, but it's for this week's CASology "bouquet" challenge.

you are loved

Happy Wednesday crafty friends.  Two cards today, the first one for the Reverse Confetti Stock Your Stash challenge and the second one for CASology Challenge.  It's a little hard to see on the second card the pop of red under the sentiment, but it adds a nice little touch.  Hope everyone is having a good week, we got a bit of snow here on Monday morning which is always magical, click here for a photo.

thinking of you

Hello!  Two cards this weekend... My first card is for the CASology "cloudy" challenge, I paired the Neat and Tangle mountains with 2 different cloud dies (MFT and PTI) and a Hero Arts sentiment and some MFT dies.  My second card uses the current CAS(E) this Sketch for the inspiration.  I'm having lots of fun this weekend with the Wild & Scenic Film Festival, here are a few photos.

fresh air don't care

Hello!  Where have I been this week?  Celebrating birthdays, finishing up year end projects and now I'm off skiing :)  But here are two cards I made earlier that I forgot to post.  The first one is for the CASology challenge "fresh" using some Kelly Purkey goodies (the stamp set is called Roam), I used a MFT die and a Lil Inker Background die and colored the mountains and tent with copics.  My second card is for this week's MFT sketch challenge.  The love die is from WPlus9, but everything else is from MFT, oh wait the sentiment is from a stamp company that went out of business.

coffee is always a good idea and more...

I made this card for the current CASology challenge "Holly" using a combination of goodies, Hero Arts sentiment and holly leaf stamp and Fun Stampers Journey die, MFT dies and a piece of PTI patterned paper.

This card was for the past MFT Birthday Card Challenge (I posted it on Instagram).

This one is for the current MFT Sketch Challenge, I used a combo of Lil Inker dies (background and coffee cup), MFT dies and patterned paper and sentiment and PTI printed vellum.  I think the heart die might be from Hero Arts?  Could be wrong on that one...

And this one isn't for a challenge, but since I make cards that are basically pep talks to myself... this one falls into that category.  But then I sent it to my sister-in-law.  But I used a recycled piece of letter press for the wine glass die (so when you see a super ornate holiday card, keep that in mind), sentiment by MFT.

Girl Boss

Hello!  I'm super excited to be a guest designer on the CASology blog this week, the cue card is "girl" and I channeled my inner girl boss coffee drinking persona.  Okay, I'm actually a boss and I actually drink coffee, but you know what I mean.   I'd love to see how you're inspired.

A few projects, I really need to go finish the prep for my card class... but I'll just quickly post these.  The first card is for the CAS(E) this sketch challenge.  The second card is for CASology, the challenge is Glass and my first train of thought was a glass of wine.  But then I saw the fun light bulb tag on Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags challenge (Day #13) and found the light bulb stamp in my stash, so went with a glass light bulb?  I know, it's a bit of a stretch.  And my final tag is a CASE of Tracey's tag on Day #14.
