Love Those Pretty Papers January 2025 Challenge

  Hello Dear Friends

It's a new month and that means it's time for a new challenge over on our
LOVE THOSE PRETTY PAPERS blog.

Today, our OPTIONAL theme is
FUN FOLDS.
 
Diane & I will be sharing a Themed pretty paper card as well as an Anything Goes card.

 Here's my card using today's THEME:

 

I've created a gate card using papers from the Echo Park 'Bee Happy' double sided 6x6 paper pack.  The sentiment on the lower panel is also a part of that paper pack.  The bees are from an older Hero Arts stamp & die monthly kit.  The were colored with Tombo markers and Glossy Accents were added to the wings for shine & accent.  The bees were also popped up with dimensional tape.

Now for my 2nd card (anything goes) ...

 I hope you've enjoyed what I created to inspire you today!  Please come join our fun and show us what you have created using pretty patterned papers.

Thanks for stopping by and as always . . .

 

Simply Clean & Simple (1/25) - Something New

 Hello my friends and welcome to my blog!

Today I have a card to share for our challenge blog using the CAS (clean & simple) design style. 
Our blog is called Simply Clean & Simple and today's OPTIONAL theme is:

SOMETHING NEW

I actually made a couple of cards using this same stamp ... but colored slightly different.  I thought this simply flower would make good sympathy cards so decided to create a couple.  

 

The stamp set I used today is a new (to me) set that I've had in my NBUS basket for awhile now.  It's from Simon Says Stamps and is called 'Wild & Free Flowers'.  I've used Tombow markers for the coloring and purple Nuvo crystal drops for the accents.

 

 

 

 

Here's a peek at the second card . . .

and here's a peek at the inside . . .

Remember, our challenge is Anything Goes CLEAN & SIMPLE but we do offer an OPTIONAL theme.  You have until the 28th to share your CAS design into our challenge blog.

Hope to see you at SIMPLY CLEAN & SIMPLE!

As always . . .
