Three on Thursday

Checking in finally with some non-DT cards. Been crazy these past couple of weeks with family, Mother's Day and my birthday. Both days within a week of each other so my kids are extra nice to me. Got a FitBit so I've been a little obsessed with getting my steps and workouts in. :)


First card was inspired by this week's ColourQ challenge. I used the Catherine Pooler's Enchanted Garden and the All About You sets from her last Stamp of Approval kit. I masked off a diagonal line and stamped a flower image in the challenge colors. I added two thin strips of matching cardstock and the die cut You. 




Second card was inspired by the One Layer Simplicity Fruit Smoothie Challenge. My stamp stash is limited to apples. I again masked off a section of the card and stamped a pattern of apples from PTI Back to School, added a stitched line from PTI Sew Simple Borders and the sentiment from Catherine Pooler All About You. Gonna use this card for my end of year thank you gift for one of my daughters' teacher. 



Last card was inspired by both this week's CAS(E) This Sketch and Inspired By All The Little Things challenges. Love the colors in the Inspired challenge. 


I embossed the front of a cardbase made from Simon Says Stamp Smoke cardstock (my favorite grey!) with a small triangle pattern embossing folder from Lifestyle Crafts. I cut out a few triangles from PTI Smokey Shadow, Orange Zest, Soft Stone, and October Afternoon patterned paper and arranged them in a cluster inspired by the CAS(E) This Sketch challenge. Added a die cut HAPPY and stamped birthday. 



So much fun creating...I'm due happy mail package from PTI and MFT soon so more to play with (not that I really need more!!). Thanks for popping in! Have a great day.
