Hi there!  I've got some more cards to share with you from the weekend.  First up is for the numbers challenge at The Male Room.  I made this for a friend using some My Favourite Things pooches, a Mama Elephant happy and Papertrey Ink numbers.  Love that naughty pooch on the right and I think that's how my friend felt about turning 40.  :)

Gators & Flowers

After a productive crafty day yesterday I have three cards to share with you.  I had planned to post some last night but we ended up watching a movie instead.  I'm trying, for once, to get through some Oscar movies before the awards show.  We watched Nocturnal Animals which has a Best Supporting Actor nomination.  Anyone seen it?  It was dark and devastating but full of amazing performances.   

Anyway on with the cards.  First up is for Freshly Made Sketches.  I used an NBUS My Favourite Things alligator die along with some fun MFT papers to put this one together.  Love that 'gator!  He looks too cute to be snappy.  :)

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Chocolate Chip) Stampin' Up

Patterned Paper:  (Trail Mix 6x6) My Favourite Things

Stamps:  (Sentiment from Jungle Friends) My Favourite Things

Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko

Die:  (Alligator) My Favourite Things, (Stitched Rectangles) Lil' Inker Designs, (Flag) Paper Smooches

Gems:  Recollections

  

Next is a card for CAS Colours and Sketches.  Another NBUS stamp set for me - this one from Altenew.  I love the fabulous layers on this rose image.  Hopefully I haven't used too much grey along with the colours but I figured I'd share it anyway.

Supplies Used:

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

Patterned Paper:  (Painted Prints Smitten 6x6) My Favourite Things

Stamps:  (Flower & sentiment from Painted Rose) Altenew

Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko, (Rose Red, Cherry Cobbler) Stampin Up, (Victorian Velvet) Ranger, (Grout Grey, Cement Grey) My Favourite Things

Gems:  Recollections

  

Finally is a card for Muse.  I stuck very close to Anita's fabulous design just changing the colours and the sentiment and the edge of my panel.  I used some well loved Paper Smooches flower stamps and an Avery Elle sentiment.  I also made a second card using the left over frame from the die cut panel.

That's it for now.  Back tomorrow with some more!

Supplies Used:

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

Puppy Love

Hiya!  I've got a card to share today for the Dogs challenge at Just Us Girls.  This is the first time I've inked up these adorable Reverse Confetti pooches and I love them!  I coloured them with Copics and am really pleased with how they came out.  The background is paper from Glitz and that fun pierced square is from Lil' Inker Designs.  

I woof it!  :D

CASology #235

Welcome to Week 235 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:

It doesn't happen very often but as soon as I saw this cue word I knew exactly what I wanted to do.  This punny sandwich came together very quickly with nothing more than a little stamping and paper piecing.  I love when the mojo flows so well!

Looking forward to seeing what direction the cue word takes you.  Check out the gorgeousness from the rest of the design team then play along!

Giraffe & Flower

Hello there!  Feels like ages since I've shared a non-CASology card but I got a little time in the Craft Cave today so I played along with a few challenges.  This first card combines some NBUS Lil' Inker Designs stamps with the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.  I love the punny sentiments in this set and the cutie pie animals.  The colour blocks are die cut from paint chips with MFT's wonky stitched rectangles.  I'm also going to join in with the Valentine challenge over at The Paper Players.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, Paint chips

Stamps:  (Giraffe & sentiment from Lovie Friend) Lil' Inker Designs

Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black, Memento Tuxedo Black) Tsukineko

Die:  (Wonky Stitched Rectangles) My Favourite Things

Markers:  (RV000, RV10, RV34, C7) Copic

Glitter:  (Clear Wink of Stella) Zig

Gems:  Recollections

Next is an entry for the current Muse challenge where Valentyna gave us a gorgeous CAS creation.  This Concord & 9th set is also NBUS for me and I inked it up with some new (to me) Altenew inks.  I am really loving these little ink cubes!  I have a feeling that there may be more in my future...  The thanks die is from Mama Elephant and I used some Nuvo drops for a bit of decoration.  Those things are way too much fun.  I currently have them in black, white and grey but I'm guessing some other colours might follow some new Altenew inks into my shopping basket!

Supplies Used:

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

Stamps:  (Flower & leaves from Flourish) Concord & 9th
