Double D Challenge - Patterned Paper

Boy, you can have a lot of fun with this challenge over at Double D! I did and I want to share with all my crafty friends. 

Just a suggestion for patterned paper here. 

Here is the prize for a lucky random winner.


I started out with a trip to You Tube for inspiration. Goodness knows that I have a lot of patterned paper. I selected a pack that I had used up most of the full sheets. Here is a picture of the bits and pieces that I had left out of the Simple Stories. 

I made these three cards with matching envelopes, with the help of this You tube video; 



Here are individual pictures




This was fun and I think that I will go and make more. 
How about you? I would love to see what you come up with  



Please stop over to see the team for more inspiration! You will not be disappointed. 


Thanks for stopping by and I always appreciate your comments!

STB - Splatters




Glenda is our host for this challenge and she has chosen Splatters. 

Since I can't do splatters very well, I went right to a stencil for them. You can too, or you can do anything as long as it is a birthday theme. 


Here is the card that I did 






Supplies that I used for this card are: 
Tim Holtz stencil Splatters ( never used before)
The Greetery Warm and Wonderful  stamp and die and crimped edge die. 
My Favorite Things stamp for the sentiment  Raise a Glass


Ok, this was a fun card and I think it could be a masculine birthday card as well. 
Please take a look at the team for more inspiration Here.

Altenew Inspiration Challenge - February 2024




A quick post to enter my card in the February 2024 challenge for
Altenew


For this card, I used the Altenew Blushing Magnolia stamp, die and sentiment. 
The background is the Altenew Enchanting Vines, my favorite! 
Sponged some Gina K inks over the top and then decided to cut it down to let the base of grey show more. I liked that effect. Using the cheery Lynn Fishtail banner dies.
