Scribble Flower Twofer

 

I've got cards today for Darnell's Twofer challenge where the prompt is Flowers.  I had pulled out my Taylored Expressions Scribble Flowers dies for a recent challenge and while I was making those cards I had the spark of an idea for the Twofer challenge.  For the first card I used the dies to create a simple flower in a frame.  For the second card I took part of the flower and created a fun polka dot background with it.  It's bright and cheery and maybe even a bit silly but overall it has a fun and celebratory feel to it I think.  

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Granny Apple Green, Old Olive, Basic Black) Stampin' Up

Stamps:  (Hello Beautiful from Essential Sentiments) My Favourite Things, (Happy from Birthday Greetings) Altenew

Inks:  (VersaMark, VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko

Embossing Powder:  (Clear) Hero Arts

Dies:  (Scribble flowers) Taylored Expressions, (Frame) Paper Smooches, (Flag) My Favourite Things, (Birthday) Papertrey Ink

Other:  (Nuvo English Mustard Crystal Drops) Tonic

Circle Twofer

Last time I tried to play along with Darnell's Twofer challenge I missed the deadline so this time I'm determined to get in there before it's too late!  

WPlus9's Doodle Buds set has a few different flower shapes in it including this fun circle.  On my first card I used it as it was intended as a flower.  I thought, however, that it would also make a fun balloon so I created some bright and happy birthday balloons for the second card.  I used some baker's twine for the string and added a fun, curly happy birthday sentiment.

Twofer Flowers

Aaaargh!!!  I just realised I've missed the deadline for the Twofer challenge!!!  

This time the prompt was flowers and I'm so excited about what I came up with but I came up with them a day late.

*sigh*  

Oh well.  I'm going to share them anyway.

I chose a flower from Altenew's simple flower set.  I started by making a thank you card with a simple bunch of flowers.  Then I was looking at the swirl on the flower and it made me think of the snail card I made for a recent CASology challenge.  So I took the body of a snail from an Essentials by Ellen set and then used the flower to make him a different shell!   Pretty neat huh?  Finally I added a Lil' Inkers Designs sentiment to make it into an encouragement card.

Umbrellas and Rain

I haven't played along with Darnell's Twofer Card Challenge since the very first one - feathers.  Now she's up to challenge #26 and I decided I had to join in again.  There are so many DT cards and entries with very clever uses of rain and/or umbrellas.  I've not been very clever though and have just gone super CAS making a friendship card and an encouragement card using some old Lawn Fawn sets that were feeling neglected.  Looking at them now I'm afraid they might be too similar but I'm going to enter them anyway and endeavor to get more creative with the next challenge! 

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Basic Grey) Stampin' Up

Stamps:  (Coud, rain, umbrella and "weather" sentiment from Partly Cloudy, "Awesome" sentiment  from So Much To Say) Lawn Fawn

Twofer Feathers

Hi there!

I was determined to play along with Darnell's new Twofer Challenge and as usual am squeaking in at the last minute.  I used my Simon Says Stamp feather dies to make a wedding card and an encouragement card.  For the wedding card I used the negative die cuts and decorated them with Nuvo Crystal Drops.  For the encouragement card I die cut the feathers from patterned papers.
