Rainbow Greetings

 Just popping in with a card for the CAS birthday challenge at the Paper Players.  I ended up making 6 cards to make use of all the rainbow stripes that were cut.  The sentiment dies are from Simon Says Stamp and Paper Smooches.  I used 3 layers of cardstock for them and then covered them with Glossy Accents.

Supplies Used:

Pattered Paper:  (Dots & Stripes Sorbet, Dots & Stripes Fresh 6x6) My Favourite Things

Hey Boo!

Happy Birthday To Ewe

Today's card is for the Birthday challenge at AAA Cards.  This is their 200th challenge so they're having a big celebration!  I couldn't resist a punny sentiment and going back to this stacked sentiment layout that I love.  I coloured the MFT sheep with Copic and I added some Honey Bee stars for a little extra colour.

You Never Age

It's been a long time since I played along with The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers but I couldn't resist their birthday challenge.  I adore this grumpy cat and this MFT snarky sentiment suits him perfectly.  I paper-pieced a Tim Holtz birthday hat for him which seems to have made him even more grumpy!  :)

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Rose Red, So Saffron, Bermuda Bay, Smokey Slate) Stampin' Up

Stamps:  (Cat) Katzelkraft, (Hat) Tim Holtz, (Sentiment from Sassy Pants Birthday Greetings 2) My Favourite Things

Eeeeek!

 I've got another Halloween card today.  This one is for the Spooky challenge at The Paper Players.  I went for an almost one-layer card here which I very rarely do.  Despite loving CAS designs I always feel the need to pop up a few elements for some dimension.  Here I popped up the Happy Halloween sentiment and in person it makes the ghost peeking out from behind it look even cuter.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White, Black) Papertrey Ink

Stamps:  (Images from Happy Hauntings, Sentiment from The Last Bite) Essentials by Ellen

Inks:  (VersaMark, VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko, (Orange Twist, Tiara, Lime Rickey, Grape Crush) Catherine Pooler

Embossing Powder:  (Opaque Bright White Super Fine) Wow

Other:  (Nuvo English Mustard Crystal Drops) Tonic

Batty Halloween

 I've got a card today for the Just Us Girls Halloween challenge.  I pulled out my new Essentials by Ellen Halloween stamps again and went with a repeating sentiment and one image popped up on foam tape.  A simple layout but always one of my favourites.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink

Stamps:  (Bat from Happy Haunting, Sentiment from The Last Bite) Essentials by Ellen

Ink:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko, (Lime Rickey, Grape Crush) Catherine Pooler

Other:  (Nuvo Ripened Pumpkin Crystal Drops) Tonic
