MTS167 and LWRC384 Celebrate

Howdy, peeps!  If you're in the northeastern part of the US, you're probably waiting for the big snowstorm to hit...that's what we're doing!  Meanwhile, I have been stamping a little bit, using the Match the Sketch challenge:

I had SO many ideas for this card, but in the end I went with some Lawn Fawn plaids and some retired SU polka dots so I could also enter it in the Little Red Wagon challenge of "Plaid & Polka Dots":

Not much stamping, just a sentiment from a past Paper Pumpkin kit, stamped on a banner from the Large Numbers die set, on which I did a little shading!  Easy peasy birthday card!

I also wanted to share the two cards we made at my first Cards & Coffee last week; we used Urban Underground papers, washi and embellishments to go along with Foxy Friends and Traveler:

My stampers really liked them and we had a great time!

Cassidy went to a Dr Seuss breakfast on Saturday and made several crafts, one of which was a Cat in the Hat hat!  I'll share more photos later!

Enjoy your day and be blessed!

MTS152 and CCMC434 Thinking of You

Happy Monday, all!  A quick little post today using Match the Sketch's sketch and Create with Connie & Mary's colors:

I needed a get-well card for my BIL....he cut the upper portion of his finger on a wood splitter!  Yowch!  The surgeon was able to reattach it but he will be in the hospital for a few days!  I took the sketch and turned it on its side as I liked the orientation better.  The Vintage Leaves leaf was stamped in Delightful Dijon; the sentiment from Wetlands in Cherry Cobbler, and the other splatters in Crumb Cake.  Some of them are from Work of Art and some are from Timeless Textures:

I also stamped the circular element as well as the horizontal and vertical elements in different images from Timeless Textures....all stamped in Versamark to give it a nice subtle look.

We've had several "murmurations" of starlings over the last week....Cassidy was fascinated by them!

Enjoy your day!

CCMC432 and GDP062 Wetlands Birthday

 

Happy Wednesday, peeps!  Today is John's birthday, so I have a masculine card to share with you!  It uses the sketch from the Global Design Project:

And the colors from Create with Connie & Mary:

I got the Wetlands set a while back and have never inked it up!  I thought this would be a good time!  I stamped the goose and sentiment in Night of Navy, then masked the goose and added some grass in Mint Macaron.  I did not get any of the copper foil sheets, but I had some Brushed Copper cardstock from waaaaaay back so I used that, as well as Copper Encore ink to add a few speckles:

I also had some copper metallic thread from way back, so I used that as well under my sentiment.  The final touch was to add some stamping around the outside of the Mint Macaron card base.  Very easy and simple card!

Cassidy made a card for Grampy, too.  Since Grampy likes deer, and I had just gotten some little deer dies, we cut some out of some kraft paper:

and she had a notion in her head (all by herself, too), to add some white gel pen accents:

She continued on, decorating her deer and drawing a field, sky and "clouds", then writing her own sentiment:  "Happy Deery Birthday to you, Grampy":

And check out all her little deer:

I guess she likes baby deer the most!!

Have a blessed day!
