Play Date Cafe combined with Make it Mondays and CAS-ual Fridays



Look at those colors - I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE those! 





Oh, this is just totally up my alley! So this is what I did: I needed a birthday card. I love those colors - did I mention that before? And at Make it Monday the theme is embossed alphabet - I used a number - I guess you can always stretch those challenges a bit.... And how convenient is that - CAS-ual Fridays theme is Birthday Bash. I usually do not combine three challenges, but what the heck, why not... but those Play Date cafe  colors may go into an second project.....


I die cut the number and clear embossed it with a 100 Proof Press stamp - you can see this better in the close-up photo.




I am also submitting this card to the Divas that Die Cut Paper challenge - the theme is Washi or Birthday card. Obviously its birthday only, no Washi, but I used embossing and a die cut!
and the last challenge I am participating in with this card is KIS - the theme is numbers.


Materials: Papertrey Zig Zag dies, Papertrey Numbers embossing plate, Papertrey By the Numbers die, 100 Proof Press, Martha Stewart punch,sentiment Inkadinkadoo, Perfect Pearls

Oh that clear embossing on your 5 really makes it special. And those colors work out perfectly for a birthday card. So glad you joined the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge!

I was thinking "ahhh" as I saw this card. So cute and perfect for the age - cheery and bright. But here's something else. I, myself, would love to receive this card and I'm "slightly" older than 5.

So glad you also entered the Die Cut Divas' challenge for birthday or Washi tape.

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fiftee...
