2 Cards and 2 Challenges


Hello again everyone! Just got home from DD #2's BBQ, and boy was it yummy!! She did good! Guess she was payin attention to her mama when it came to cooking!! lol So, I thought I'd hurry and post these two cards before I head to bed. The first one is just a little one which I think can be so fun to make. It's for Challenge #30, Fall Colors at Die Cuttin Divas. I used Recollection cardstock the entire card except for the pattern paper which is from DCWV, one of the newer fall mat stacks. I cut and embossed the pumpkin with the combo set from Cuttlebug. I just love that pumpkin!!! the sentiment stamp is from a My Pink Stamper set stamped with Stampin' Up ink. That's it! Nothing to it! Love these simple little cards don't you?



The second card is for Challenge #25 at Birthday Sundaes which is to make a Birthday Card. I made this card for my BIL who's birthday is coming up. I used Recollection cardstock and a piece of pattern paper from another DCWV mat stack. The stamp is from TCP Studios that I got at Michael's. I colored it with my Stampin' Up pencils. I don't have Copics, but maybe some day. The ribbon is from my stash as are the nail heads. I used my Nestabilities to cut the mats for the stamp. Well, that's it, hope you liked my cards and that you have a great evening!
