Beary Much

This card is for two challenges: FMS #755 and The Paper Players Clean & Simple Challenge PP804.

I do think it fits well with both card challenges.

For my background, I used the Woodgrain die by Waffle Flower along with the stencils.  I cut it out using Deckled Frames die set by Mama Elephant.  That is layered on top of a piece of ochre colored cardstock.

My bear is from a stamp set by Penny Black called A Big Hug.  I colored him with colored pencils, die cut him out and placed him on top of three Stitched Stones by Heffy Doodle.

Behind him is a fence from Cottage Cutz called Old Farm Fence.

The sentiment comes from the same stamp set by Penny Black: A Big Hug.

Sweet Birthday Wishes

This cute card came together pretty quickly after watching the video of how to put the die together.

The die is from Lawn Fawn called Froyo Friend.  It can either be a cup of ice cream or yogurt.

I just knew this would fit well with TSOT #703.

The colorful border is from an Altenew paper pack called Dreamy Sunset and the sentiment is from Pink & Main: Sweet Birthday.




Morning Chicken

I kind of went way out with this sketch challenge FMS #752.  I had a piece of cardstock that I had embossed some time ago with Barbed Wire 3D embossing folder by Honey Bee Stamps and I said, what goes with barbed wire?  And I thought, chickens.  And my sketch slowly came together.

My chicken is a die set by Impression Obsession.  I added a sun from My Favorite Things called Full Sun.  And the grass under the chicken's feet is a die by Impression Obsession.  The sentiment is from Simon Hurley called Spring Chicken.

Cute Little Jellyfish

I really liked working with this sketch.  FMS #751 came together after some thought.



My background paper is Hello Summer by Reminisce.

The little Jellyfish is a die by Cottage Cutz.

I used two different sizes of Stitched Jumbo Fishtail Flags by My Favorite Things.

The sentiment is from Waffle Flower called Under The Sea Sentiments.

Toolbox of Tools

This card is for The Paper Players Sketch Challenge #PP800.  It turned out to be a masculine card.


My background paper is Vintage Woodwork by Memory-Place.

I embossed a piece of light blue cardstock with Tools embossing folder by Crafts-Too then layered that onto a piece of gray cardstock.

The toolbox is a die set by Impression Obsession called Wooden Toolbox and the tools are also from a die set by Impression Obsession called Hand Tools.

The sentiment is from a Honey Bee stamp set called Nailed It.

I popped up the toolbox with foam strips onto the embossed cardstock.
