Season's Tweetings

 

I made two versions of this card for Freshly Made Sketches just with switched up dominant colours.  These little Lawn Fawn birdies are old favourites (especially with the punny sentiment) and dutifully get inked up every year.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Real Red, Pear Pizzazz, Basic Black) Stampin' Up

Stamps:  (All from Winter Sparrows) Lawn Fawn

Ink:  (VersaMark, VersaFine Onyx Black, Memento Tuxedo Black) Tsukineko, (Fresh Fig) Stampin' Up

Embossing Powder: (Opaque Bright White Super Fine) Wow

Markers:  (YR04, Y08, YG03) Copic

Other:  (Nuvo English Mustard Crystal Drops) Tonic

  

Paper-Pieced Ornament

 

I've had some mojo issues this past week but managed to come up with a couple of challenge cards.  Today's is for the CAS Colours & Sketches challenge.  I did some simple paper piecing on this Lawn Fawn ornament and added some Nuvo Crystal Drops to the dots for a bit of fun.  I really love Crystal Drops.  How did I live without them before?  

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Cajun Craze, Pear Pizzazz, Basic Black) Stampin' Up

Stamps:  (All from Ornate Ornaments) Lawn Fawn

Ink:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko, (Cajun Craze, Old Olive) Stampin' Up

Dies:  (Burst die, Bow) Avery Elle

Other:  (Nuvo English Mustard & Bottle Green Crystal Drops) Tonic

Have A Purr-fect Birthday!

 

I haven't played along with the Inky Paws challenge for a while but their current sketch was just what I needed to get a birthday card made for a friend.  She recently got a grey kitten so I thought a Newton's Nook kitty would be perfect for her.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay) Stampin' Up

Stamps:  (All from Newton's Birthday Bash) Newton's Nook

Ink:  (VersaMark, VersaFine Onyx Black, Memento Tuxedo Black) Tsukineko

Markers:  (R11, Y02, YG03, BG23, BG09, E31, E43, C1, C3, C5) Copic

Other:  (Nuvo Ebony Black Crystal Drops) Tonic

Have A Super Day!

 

I've got a super simple card today for the Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes challenge.  The sentiment is from Paper Smooches (who else is still super heartbroken that they've closed?) and I wanted to give it a superhero feel so I went for Superman colours and a super star.  If nothing else I should win the award for using super too many times in one post!

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point) Stampin' Up

Stamps:  (Sentiment from Super) Paper Smooches

Ink:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko

Dies:  (Star) Papertrey Ink, (Stitched circles) Heffy Doodle

Other:  (Nuvo Dandelion Yellow Crystal Drops) Tonic

Christmas Bulbs

 

Today's card is for the Paper Players sketch challenge.  I seem to be making cards in threes lately but I guess it just makes sense to do it while all the supplies are out.  I love the richness of these Catherine Pooler inks - they definitely make the cards merry and BRIGHT!

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green) Stampin' Up

Stamps:  (All from Merry & Bright) Reverse Confetti

Ink:  (Memento Tuxedo Black) Tsukineko, (Rockin Red, Tiara, Lime Rickey) Catherine Pooler

Cie:  (Stitched rectangle) Mama Elephant

Markers:  (W3) Copic

Twine:  (Licorice) The Twinery

Better With Sprinkles

 Today's card is for CAS(E) This Sketch and I thought of this Newton's Nook stamp as soon as I saw it.  I'm not sure what I like better about this stamp - how adorable Newton is or how happy I'd be to stumble across a cat sized donut!  

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Bermuda Bay) Stampin' Up

Patterned Paper:  (Happy Hooray 6x6) Pebbles

Stamps:  (All from Newton's Donut) Newton's Nook

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

Markers:  (RV02, R11, R17, Y02, YR04, G05, BG01, E33, E37, C1, C3) Copic

Patterned Hello

 

Hi there!

Clearly this card is not my usual style but the challenge at Simon Says Stamp this week it to Layer It Up so I decided to stick a toe outside my comfort zone and see what I could come up with.  This took waaaaay too long to put together but I was determined to come up with something!  I broke out some Pinkfresh patterned papers and some dies from Paper Smooches and MFT and finally ended up with this.  I don't hate it but it's definitely a style I need to practice more.       

Supplies Used:

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

Patterned Paper:  Pinkfresh

Dies:  (Hello, Notebook paper, Speech bubble) Paper Smooches, (Hearts) My Favourite Things

Other:  (Nuvo Ebony Black Crystal Drops) Tonic, (Glossy Accents) Ranger
