Birthday Cake

 I needed another girl teen card for my great niece. I remembered these watercolor cards so I found one that I thought would be good for a teen :) I colored it with markers instead of watercolor.

• Taylored Expressions - Birthday watercolor panels, colored w/markers
• Echo Park - Fine and Dandy paper
• Srickles on the candle flames

I would like to share my card with the following challenges:

Sisterhood of Crafters Spots and Dots challenge

We are staying in today, the feels like when I woke up was -5, it has reached 0 now. Time to get more crafting done :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Diamond Flower

 Used another of my Diamond art kits I bought from Michaels for my friends card today, I knew she would like it because she is always doing them herself :) After finishing I cut it out with my pinking shears, the dots are adhered to a fabric, like linen. I stamped the sentiment onto a die cut tag.

• Make Market - Diamond Art kit Florals - 4x6 inches, used pinking shears to cut out
• Chloe's creative cards - Sentiment stamp
• PPD - Stitched Curvy Coved Rectangle die

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Thinking of you

 I forgot to post this card when I posted the other sympathy cards I made, I went with a vintage feel to this one, after the passing of her mother. I do love the Botanicals in this paper pack.

• Hot off the press - Botanical Library 6x6 pattern cardstock (image)
• Torn Book page
• Fiskars - Essential Sayings sentiment stamp
• Background paper from my scraps bin

Thanks so much for stopping by and those of you in the States, hope you can keep warm, there is a lot of cold around.

Wish upon a star

 I am using a set of stamps I have used a few times before, I think I have used it mostly for teens but I think it would work for anyone. I have fussy cut the fox and added him to the background I inked, and then added the stamped stars with white embossing powder.

• Lawn Fawn - Upon a Star stamp set, inked background, colored fox w/markers and white heat embossed with white embossing powder of the stars
• Distress inks - Faded Jeans, Black soot and Dusty concord for the sky, Forest moss for ground

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Flower Bouquet

 Using more of 2024's advent calendar stuff, I wanted to use it all by last year so that I would start fresh with this year but still had a few left. These flowers, gems and bow are from the advent calendar. I am not sure if I went to far using the papers or not, I used pattern paper for everything, the die cuts  and framing and background. This card was hand delivered so I was able to use the bigger gems on it.

• Diamond Press - 2024 Advent Calendar- Flowers and bow dies and Gems
• Spellbinders - Decorative Labels 28 die
• Craftsmith - Sea Glass papers
• Bow and flowers from scrap pattern papers

I would like to share my card with Love those pretty papers challenge 

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,
