Another Bee Card for FMS479

Happy Monday, peeps!  Hope your weekend was fabulous!  As promised, I have another bee card!  This time, I am squeaking in the FMS sketch as well as the Rainbow Card Challenge of Delightfully Daffodil:

I still had my Bee's Knees papers out on my desk, so I pulled out a yellow honeycomb print and went to work:

I used the bee image from SU's retired Honey Bee set, cutting it with the matching die, and adding a sentiment from Darcie's BEEutiful set, stamped on top of the retired Dot, Dot, Dot background:

The bee was colored with a So Saffron Blend, and on the inside, I added a few more stamped images and another sentiment from Honey Bee!

I love how cheerful Daffodil Delight is!  Thanks for popping in today!

How can you not love a face (and a shirt) like this?  Enjoy your day and be blessed!

CAS Vintage Christmas

 Happy Wednesday peeps!  I am in the full Thanksgiving mode so this post will be short and sweet!  I have an uber-CAS card for a couple of challenges:  the Rainbow Card challenge wants "sapphire"; Christmas Card Throwdown wants a Winter Wonderland; and Less Is More wants a one-layer festive! Not really sure how "festive" my card is, but it is one layer!

I have lots of wintery-themed stamps, and since I've been going through my older stamps, I found this one that I thought had a sweet vintage feel to it:

I got this image several years ago at a stamp show and I don't know the maker!  I stamped it in Pacific Point, which is a color I rarely use, but I think it looks pretty with this silhouette.  I created a mask with a square die and sponged the sky with Balmy Blue, then added some retired SU Ice Glitter for snow:

Both sentiments are from Cornish Heritage Farms; the outside one is from Vintage Christmas Expressions, the inside from Christmas Expressions; I just love them!

Thanks for popping in today--I hope you have a blessed day!  I will have a post tomorrow....but mostly I'll be spending time giving thanks!

So Tiny So Small

Happy Saturday, everyone!  I have a sweet baby card to share with you today!  Young friends of ours just adopted a little boy, and I made this card to welcome him to their family!  

The Rainbow Card Challenge this month is "Totally Tiffany", which is a color I just love!  

I found some papers in a scrapbook pad I was given, and I thought they would be pretty with this little rocking horse image from Little Cuties.  It's hard to see but the clouds are sparkly!  So here we go:

I was stamped in Smoky Slate and colored with Pool Party and Smoky Slate Blends; I added a little gingham paper-pieced saddle just for fun, as well as some stars in the background to coordinate with the starry, glittery background!  I also added a scallop of Glimmer paper too, just for fun!  The sentiment from Wildly Happy was stamped on a diecut from the new Ornate Layers dies...what an awesome set!

The inside was stamped with some Paper Pumpkin stars and a sentiment from God's Blessings:

This card is larger than the standard A4 size to accommodate the cute papers as well as that cute image! I sure had fun making this and I wish them all the blessings in the world!!  Thanks for popping in today!

Dana and her coworker unknowingly wore the same colors today---and the residents at the nursing home where they work made them matching masks!

Here in PA, our governor has now "recommended" wearing masks anywhere outside...and we are now not allowed to drive to Delaware unless we are prepared to quarantine ourselves there for 14 days!!  Delaware is only a hop, skip and a jump from us and we would regularly go there to shop, as they have no sales tax.  I hope this is all over very soon!  Enjoy your day (or at least try to) and be blessed!

Wonderfully Wicked Trio

Happy Wednesday, peeps!  The middle of the week...a steamy day here, then a huge temp drop tomorrow...I am READY for fall!  Today I have a couple of Halloween cards using the current Wonderfully Wicked set!  The first one uses the Try Stampin' On Tuesday sketch (I used the sketch only) and the Rainbow Card color challenge:

I used a Stitched Shape square die to diecut three squares from a panel of Basic Black, then stamped the three images on white with Black Stazon and the cobwebs with Smoky Slate:

I added a sentiment from A Wish for Everything, and a triple-layer diecut from Well-Written dies, with the top layer made from the last little piece of black glimmer paper I had in my stash:

I added a few little silver glimmer stars, then mounted everything on a piece of distressed cobwebby paper!

And this is the card we made on Saturday with my hostess and her friends:

And here's the inside pop-up part!  Fun!

Thanks for popping in today!

Deer Silhouette Christmas

Happy Saturday, all!  I have a very quick card to share today, as I have a stamp party and am looking forward to seeing my crafty friends!  This card uses Amy's sketch from FMS:

and the color palette from a new-to-me (thanks to Vicky) challenge, Rainbow Card Challenge:

I've been pushing these diecut deer around my desk for weeks, trying to decide what to do with them, and when I saw the challenges, I knew I could combine them!  The deer are cut from Early Espresso; I mounted them on a diecut oval DSP, then I adhered them to a piece of Kraft cardstock and a Very Vanilla card base:

It's hard to see, but I stamped a few pine boughs at the top left and bottom right and sponged the edges for a rustic look.  I stamped a sentiment in Soft Suede and it was done!  I love how the porous fibers in the Kraft cardstock give it a rustic look!

And in honor of my friend Vicky, who is a guest designer today at Addicted to CAS, I am playing along there as well, as their challenge is "Creature":

Thanks for popping in today--be sure to come back tomorrow for a new Paper Players challenge, too!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!
