This challenge hosted by our creator of CAS Christmas is Loll and she is looking for a bird on your Christmas card.  Here is mine:

Oh it was so fun to pull out older but goodie stamps and dies and have another play with them.  I listed all the products I used just below, do remember though that My Favorite Things is no longer in business.

MFT;   Winter Songbird (birds)

Waffle Flower:  Vertical MERRY die & sentiments

And just because I had fun pulling out the above dies and feathered friends, I saw the MFT MERRY die and decided to pair that with some robins, so here is a bonus card for you.   We will also have more inspiration on the 15th of each month using the same theme!

Hi friends!

Happy New Year!

I am joining COLOR HUES CHALLENGE #101 using red and kraft. 

Of course I am using Valentine colors to build up my stash!

I used a Gina K ef: Happy Hearts

Penny Black:  hedge HUGS

Hero Arts:  Nesting Hearts

SSS: Printmaking Hearts (sentiment) 

Thanks for stopping by!!

 

It seems I am having trouble with the inlinkz, so this may not get posted in time!

I will show you a few other valentine cards I have made the last several days!

The last three are a stencil and die set that I won from SSS called Printmaking Hearts.

I used all the stencils but not the dies on these cards.

This card I made last year but I don't think I ever posted it!

I used the dies to cut out the hearts!

Thanks for stopping by and having a look to see what I have been up to!

SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY ~ MASCULINE CARD

Hi friends, this is our last Seize the Birthday Challenge for 2024!

We are taking the month of December off, but will be back with more challenges in January 2025!!

Today's challenge is all about making a masculine birthday card and Barbara is our hostess!

I have to admit I am not that great with masculine cards and my stash of stamps is limited!

But I decided to go with a fun kind of rainbow leaf design.

I watched a video by Gina K (HERE)showing a monochromatic card using these leaves from the Autumn Silhouette stamp set.  I changed it up by blending rainbow colors in the three circles, then stamping the leaves and following what Gina did with her monochromatic design.

 

I hope you will be joining us for this last challenge of the year!

Check out our Special Guest FRAN for even more inspiration.

I look forward to seeing your card in the gallery!!

 

 

Heart Hugs, friends!
