Zooming By... Color Dare Challenge #572 "Lucky 7"

This is my Design Team project for Color Dare Challenge #572 "Lucky 7" using the CTMH Paperpack "Home For Christmas" combined with Sketch Saturday Challenge #737.  Love the traditional colors in this CTMH paperpack and Pawliday Express stamps images are perfect for thiis sketch.  I liked the simplicity of the sketch and stayed pretty much within the cuts and shapes... one more Christmas card to be put in my stash for 2023 holidays.  

For the inside of the card, images from the same stamp set were stamped along the r-h border and colored with pencil.  

Please hop on over and join us at Color Dare's Color Board #572 and check out the Design Teams inspiration, and then let us see what you create... hope to see you there.

You're One Crazy Cat - Guest Designer for Crazy For Cats

Back awhile ago I was invited as Guest Designer for Crazy for Cats Challenge "Anything Goes" with the choice of March through June challenges ... how time flies.  Missed submitting the last three months so my card is for the June Challenge "Anything Goes Cat".  

Looked through my stash for cat/kitten scrapping supplies and found this cute Halloween stamp set.  Back a month ago my daughter invited me to their cabin for a scrapping retreat and we set aside one day to do gel press backgrounds and this was the perfect background for a Halloween card.  Decided a mini-slimline card would be perfect for the image.  Gel print background was backed with a black and white magical design paper and adhered to card base.   

Stamped cat on white cardstock, colored with Copic brush pens, fussy cut and  adhered to background with thin foam tape.  Stamped the witch's hat on the same background pattern and fussy-cut to be placed on cat's head with regular foam tape for more dimension.  Sentiments were stamped with black on top and bottom corners and a few cute bats were stamped on the upper right-hand corner. 

On the inside of the card added a border along the right, stamped cat peeking behind the border and added the witch hat and bat in the corner.

Wishing You a Purr-fect Christmas - ColorMyHeart Color Dare #530 partnering with Double Trouble

This is my DT card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #530 "Triple Play"... you MUST use the three colors, or closest match, and no additional colors.  But you do have the flexibility of All Neutrals and Metallics are free.  

Color Dare is partnering with Double Trouble Challenge #129 "Cuddle Up" and Thing 1 Trouble Maker has a Warm & Cuddly 3-2-1 Recipe and using the Color Board's three colors gives you the first ingredient of their recipe. Add at least 2 layers, and 1 cuddly digital or stamped image and you can join their challenge too.   

I still needed Christmas cards, and I thought these colors would be fun non-traditional colors and the theme was for two of my grandkids, one with dogs, and the other with cats... and had the perfect stamp for the Holidays. Below are the two cards made with the stamps from "A Furry Merry Christmas". Click here to see my DT Card for Double Trouble Challenge #129 "Cuddle Up".
