CIC487 Week 1

Yes, Valentines Day has passed us by but Love is always in fashion.

So over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog, for the next two weeks, we are continuing with

the theme - Love and or Valentine's Day.

(See inspirational photo below)

I made the above card using my old and retired stamp set from Stampin up - Darling Dragons.

I SOOO love being able to pull out some of my older products that are collecting dust but loved.

Welcome 2020!  

So glad to be back.

We had a nice break over at Cupcake Inspiration Challenges.

Today begins a new challenge.

This is a fun Color Challenge.

Green, White and Brown.

(see inspirational photo below)

I used the stamp set: Good Morning Magnolia from Stampin Up

Paper Doily and Misc papers. Brown Memento Ink and Copic Markers.

Hope to see your projects over there and make sure to check out all the Design Team's cards.

Snow!

Today I had fun making a card using Newton's Nook stamp set - Sweater Weather.

I think the whole set is so cute!
Sadly, the photo doesn't show all the sparkly glitter I used.

I used Distress Inks for the soft sky, A-Muse dies for the hills of snow, and an old

Stampin Up set for the snowballs.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Inky Paws Challenge #112 - Theme Snow Day

2 Crafty Critters Crazies - December Challenge

The next challenge over at Cupcake Inspirations - 

THEME: Ephemera & Use Your Stash

And since I had to look up the meaning of Ephemera - here is what I found:

e·phem·er·a

/əˈfem(ə)rə/

Learn to pronounce

noun

1. things that exist or are used or enjoyed for only a short time.

   • items of collectible memorabilia, typically written or printed ones, that were originally expected to have only short-term usefulness or popularity
   • 
     

   On my card I layered card stock and pieces and parts from a scrapbook pack I have.  I love the vintage look of these and had fun putting the pieces together for a card.

Hop over to the challenge blog and see what the Design Team has come up with.

Crafty Sentiments Designs  is providing 3 digital images to our randomly chosen winner.
