Christmas/Winter card in May??

Howdy.

Inspired by FOUR different challenges, I created the Christmas card below.

I finished a layout using the Basic Grey Jovial line so figured I use some of the scraps and get a "jump" on the holidays.

The bunny was stamped several times on Kraft (sled), white (body),

cream (background) and BG stripe (scarf). 
The bunny was paper pieced, flocked and given a dollop of liquid pearl on the tail.
The sled was pieced also.

I really love how this card turned out. 

I love the layering in the sketch which highlights the beautiful patterns
 in this BG line of papers.  I have trouble layering and the sketch REALLY did the work!

I opted for the charm saying "wonderful" in case I decide to use it as a birthday card later...

Lawnscaping & Cupcake Craft: Party/C

Hi there!

Today's project is a birthday party invitation I made for our son's upcoming 6th birthday.

He had a Lightning McQueen birthday when he was four, but wants the same theme again.

He was probably inspired by the new movie coming out in June!

He wants a cake with a desert scene and cars.

I just used some car stickers from my stash vs buy Lightning McQueen ones. 

I am entering it into the Lawnscaping Challenge: Let's Party. 
The banner is from Lawn Fawn's "Bannerific" and "Harold's ABC"

I am also entering this into the Cupcake Craft Challenge:  Begins with "C". 
I have a Circle card with a Car!

Supplies:

Stamps:  LF "Bannerific" and "Harold's ABC"

Ink: Memento

Paper: HL

Stickers: HL or M's

Party On!

LP #72: floral stamps & SSS: Anything Goes

Hello.

I am sharing a card I made for Limelight Papercrafts LAST challenge #72 Floral Stamps.  Mandy had her third child and has decided to discontinue the challenges. 

I wish her much happiness with her growing family!
I am also entering this into the Simon Says Stamp Challenge: Anything Goes

The first challenge was to use floral stamps with the sketch below.
I was inspired by a thread at Two Peas where people were sharing their teacher appreciation ideas.  The saying on this card is from a post by "Cori". She shared that she gave a flower and tag/card with this saying. How cute! 
This will be paired with a flower and is for our little guy's preschool teacher. 

I stamped the flowers on companion papers and used different gems for the centers.

Here's the cute little sketch from Limelight Papercrafts:

Supplies:
Stamps:  flowers by Autumn Leave (I think); "Harold's ABC" by Lawn Fawn; "thank you" by Hero Arts
Ink: Memento (my favorite!) and Distress in Weathered Wood
Papers: Amy Butler for K&Company "AB Lotus" pad and cardstock
Other: MS Circle Cutter for 4" circle base, "George" cart 3 1/2" circle, scallop scissors, baker's twine by The Twinery, gems, pop dots, MS butterfly punch

Thanks for looking!
