Three Beauties

Used  an old wood mount stamp that I picked up at a stamp show many years ago  to create another card for the 2018 Cat Lovers Hop. It's from a company named "Love you to bits" and works perfectly for a birthday card with this computer generated sentiment. So fun.

Purchased a package of Martha Stewart Halloween gift bags a few years ago, mainly because I wanted the sparkly die cut witches that were included with the bags. For this card, I kept the background simple, upcycling an old greeting card for the front and inside. Added computer generated sentiments and a fussy-cut bat to the inside. Easy Peazy.

This weeks challenge at Power Poppy Creative Confetti is a… well… challenging one. It's called " Art Imitating Life" and we are to create a card inspired by a photo. I pulled up my photo albums and found a photo from last years Christmas tree that I love, mainly because it's a snowflake. And because it reminded me of a template I'd found a few weeks ago for a beautiful 3-D Pop-up Snowflake.  It took a little time, but I was able to use the template, and accompanying video to create this fun card. [You can find the template and link to the video here- https://sites.google.com/site/kagisippopopupcards2/top/howtomake] The sentiment on the front, printed on vellum, is computer generated. The snowflake punch is from Martha Steward, and the added bling just adds some sparkle to the creation.

  4. It's cold and blustery here today in Pennsylvania, USA. Thinking warmer thoughts with your hula kitty. I would have bought the bags too for the sparkly witch. Great cards all around.
