Twisted Pop-up Valentine Card

Several weeks ago I attempted to make a twisted pop up card to send to a little one who is battling cancer.  But, everything that could go wrong, went wrong.  I dissected that card and turned it into a step card.

I thought I'd try again with a Valentine, following a tutorial from Splitcoast Stampers.

In fact, it was so simple this time that I made a second one 

for my 4 great granddaughters.

Challenges I am playing:

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Love is in the Air 

Sweet Stampin' Challenge - Valentine's or Galentine's Day (animals are stamped)

Creative Creases Challenge - AG with a fun fold

Double Trouble Challenge - Love is in the Air (Hot air balloon paper)

 

 

Thanks for visiting!

Sweet Honey Bear from MFT

 Here is a card I made this afternoon for the

My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge #683.

One of my great granddaughters will love receiving this for 

Valentine's Day.

All the stamps are from the MFT Sweet Honey Bear stamp set.

This is the sketch I followed.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by.

 

 

Thought I'd enter a few more of my favorite challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Challenge #113 - AG 

Inkspirational Challenge #308 - Designer's Choice - Paper Piecing (The leaves, bee hive, and honey pot are all paperpieced.)

 

Make My Monday Challenge #218 - Use Patterned Paper

 

That Wintry Country Feeling

Double Trouble's current theme is "That Wintry Country Feeling",  I think a lot of the US is experiencing that right now.

 Luckily we are far enough south to elude the cold, wind, ice and snow!  We don't miss it one bit!  But I do miss many of the items I left in my stash up north.

 

Here is the card I made for the Double Trouble Challenge #157: 

(The digi images are from Gerda Steiner Designs.  The digi faces left and then I flipped it to make a second image facing right.  Printed, fussy cut, and colored with markers,)

I will also be entering this in the Farm Quest Challenge #44, where the theme is Winter Sports.

Thanks for dropping by!

Welcome to my blog, where I have

Tuesday Morning Sketches 

 

The design team is taking turns choosing their favorite sketch from 2021.  This sketch is Patti's favorite and the sketch for this week.

 

 

Here's my card:

 

 

 This is Pinkles, a Bestie digi image from the My Besties Shop.  The actual image was called Ella and Pinkles Happy Day.  I decided to put Pinkles in the spotlight today.  Sorry, Ella.

 

I hope you'll have time to play along at
