It's Only a Number

Hello my friends.  Today's card is inspired by calendar numbers and the challenge at Splitcoast.  I really had no idea where to start but then it came to me.  

Since I love that collage/grunge look, I got out a really old number set that looks like graffiti (don't even know who makes it) and started to stamp away using Distress inks.  I added some splatters for interest and them stamped the sentiment on pieces of black card and embossed them with white.  I mounted them on an angle and stapled them to my card.  

I am adding my card to these challenges:

CASology- PAINT

Seize the Birthday- ANYTHING GOES

CAS on Sunday- MASCULINE

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a look.

Supplies:  stamps- The Craft's Meow and ??/ Distress ink/ staple/ pop dots

Congrats My Son

Here is my card for the today.  I am playing along with the Inspiration challenge at Splitcoast and here is what inspired me from Pier 1:

I created this card for my son who got a big promotion at his job this past week so kept it very masculine.  I used the Gunge Me set from PTI and the Typically Teen set from The Craft's Meow; both great sets for creating 'manly' cards.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look today.  Hope you enjoy a great weekend.

You're the Bees Knees

How can you not be happy....it's Friday!  Here is my card for 3 challenges today; the Free for All challenge at Splitcoast, the challenge at Simon Says Stamps and the hexagon challenge at Moxie Fab.

The bkg. is made using a mask by the Crafter's Workshop that I sponged  Distress ink onto then added the yellow swipe and the sentiment.  The little bee is from Recollections...isn't he the cutest?

Hope you can 'bee happy' today.

Birthday Bug

I need some cards for the little people in my life and this ladybug spoke to me.  I am playing along with the Featured Stamper challenge at Splitcoast, the Moxie Fab birthday and the CASology happy challenge too.  I stamped the swipe and the sentiment from The Craft's Meow and then added the ladybug from Recollections.  Very clean and simple.

Thanks for dropping by.

Supplies:  stamps:  The Crafts Meow, Recollections/ pop dots/ copics/ twine

Green and Blues

Just another masculine card as I am playing along with three challenges today...the CAS challenge at Splitcoast is to add twine to your card; Moxie Fab is to create a Birthday card and CAS-ual Fridays...Let's Strip.  I am really having fun playing with these new stamps from The Craft's Meow.  I masked the center area, sponged on Distress inks and then overstamped.  Lastly I added the scored lines and the twine.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.  Have a great week.
