Kraft and Kreme

Less is More
Kraft and Kreme
It really sounds like a good cup of coffee. That is the challenge so I created this card. I used PTI Classic Kraft ink  for my Kraft element and Neenah Cream paper. I used the botanical Silhouettes stamps from PTI. This large stamp come in two section the flowers and then the stems, so I did take some practice stamping to make them coordinate. The sentiment is part of the same set. I scored some lines at the sides and bottoms for more interest. This is very less is more but a fun challenge.

Holly Jolly Snowman

Jingle Belles
Ho Ho H20
Anything to do with water. I picked this snowman paper from Nordic Holiday Basic Grey. I like because it not all blues. There is much paper left over so I know I see a small set of these coming.
I cut out the side in circles making a snow man then popped the paper up. Then placed the banner for his scarf. In need of a hat one was  made from a Hero Arts stamped image in versamark cut out. I stamped the eyes and mouth from random Paper Smooches sets. A carrot like nose cut out and placed to fit. The sentiment is from A Muse (oldie but goodie). I tilted the card so you see the pop up layers.

Papertrey Ink
It is PTI anniversary month. That there is lots of activity at the blog. Posting a card for a stamp giveaway ( I mean random. org that does even the playing a field a bit). These are free down loadable images that they are giving away! I printed mine on on the Neenah cream cardstock and used them from there. They are perfectly sized.
I layered the image on red paper then used the bow die from the hydrangea set also cut out in red. I used some patterned paper from Basic Grey /Paper Cottage for my background. The picture was taken outside since my light source fizzled:(...good news we did have a bit of sun.

I Appreciate You

OWH Sketch Challenge #158
What a interesting sketch there was no way I was not going to try this out. So much football going on yesterday! This is a linen colored cardstock then a wood pattern background stamp in versamark ink all to give it a light birch wood feel.  I refrained from using twine because I thought this was really a CAS feel.

Apple of My Eye

Operation Write Home
Our Daily Bread Designs Monthly Challenge : Fruit
Basically you are to make a card with fruit on it. I had these extra papers left over from the Thanksgiving cards. Well now it is the season of love (well love is really all the time;). Does anyone remember this saying...? I die cut the word die, then made the computer generated sentiment. I hand cut out the leaves that are placed on the card. There is a tiny little heart at the top of the apple from Starform.

Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge

Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge
Picture Perfect Inspired
Playing with Paper Smooches today. One of my favorite thank you sentiment they have. I thought it would go well with the lines in the inspiration photo. I found that little gray/ silver/ white button with the lines on it plus giving a nod to all those metal tacks on the bed frame. You can only smile when those little crafty moments happen.
