The Card Concept: Cozy Cabin

 

Hello, friends! Welcome to the a challenge at The Card Concept.

Our inspiration photo is clean and simple, and full of pattern.

I took my inspiration from the colors.

Plenty of pattern on my Clean and Layered card, with the inspiration colors as my 

muse, and a birthday theme.

The tiny envelope holds a birthday greeting, and is removable.

The red clothespin holds it in place.

One more birthday card for the stash, always like to have plenty on hand!

Hope you are inspired to pick a style and join the fun! See you in the lineup!

12 Kits of Occasions August '18

Hi there! Welcome to August's 12 Kits post.

Our hostess this month is my dear friend, Birgit Norton from Crafting While I Wait,

and she blessed us all with fairies and mermaids and gnomes and...

well, just have a look

I have to lead with my favorite, already in the hands of a granddaughter, who 

didn't judge a hill while scootering down a bit too fast. 

One broken wrist later, and a trip to ER, she

has to wear a cast for 6 weeks! She's only 9, poor thing.

Birgit's sweet kit came in handy for 'mermaid kisses' from grandma.

PTI Reef Builders and Text & Texture: Ocean, Salt Air: Fauna

Wish you could see the sparkle on this winsome fairy. This also went to my little Noelle,

along with a Fairy cookbook. We love to bake when she comes for a visit.

Lots's of Lindy's Starburst Spray

Isn't she a hoot? A fairy struttin' her stuff! And a cupcake too!

Adore these MFT Magical Dragons, and gave them a royal setting.

I put one of the tiny fairies from the kit in the pumpkin coach, and renamed her 'Cinderella'.

A big Thank You Birgit, for a magical kit! Loved every bit, and boy did it come in

handy for a granddaughter with a wounded limb... and saved some 

to play with later! Hooray!

Don't dare miss the other designers, and Birgit brought in a guest too,

our friend Kara Lynn from Bright Hope Creations. Truly, Kara's coloring skills are 

magical! Can't wait to see what she did with the kit. And all my teammies too!

12 Kits of Occasions: May '18 You're a Good Egg

Hello everyone! Welcome to the last day of May, and 12 Kits of Occasions, where you

are treated to 12 designer friends and their creations! 

This month I'm hostess, and my kit is themed 'You're a Good Egg'.

My husband and I live on 2 1/2 acres and raise chickens for their eggs.

By day they roam the homestead, and at night are snugly tucked into their coop.

To say they've won our hearts is an understatement! We affectionately call them 'the girls',

and have to say, we smile each time we crack open an egg!

And with that in mind, may I present this month's kit... full of chickens and eggs and 

hopefully a few 'cluckles'!

You'll see lots of Lawn Fawn this month, especially their set, 'Hay There', and some of 

their wonderful papers.

I've invited 2 friends this month, Colleen Foelker, and Linda Snodgrass.

Be sure to drop by and give 'em some love!

So get comfy, put your feet up, grab a cuppa, and enjoy. There's a whole lot of 

crafty country to see!

Remember, all products are listed on the 12 Kits' products page.

And one more note: I'm an affiliate for PapertreyInk. All their products I used are

hi-lighted and are a direct link to their shop. If you like something I used, I'd love it

if you use my link up. Thanks!

It's all about farm life with my box card made with Lawn Fawn's sweet images!

The scene was made using Lawn Fawn's Scallop Pop Up Box Card die set.

Included in the kit was Lawn Fawn's Simple Grassy Hillsides...

can't wait to see how my teammates used it!

Adore these sweet Lawn Fawn ducklings!

Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow paper. I had the stitched square and rectangles left over from 

the pop up box. Skillet & egg carton: Cottage Cutz.

I saw these chicks from Stampin' Up on Pinterest and had to add them to my stash. You can 

still get them on eBay, but be forewarned... they're pricey. See the one with the funky hair?

That's chick attitude. LOVE it! Oh, and btw, Those are real feathers off my girls, discarted

not plucked. The grandkids love to collect them from the coop.

Chicken Wire, hen & egg also Stampin' Up.

Last card is some ombre inking over a Cottage Cutz die set.

Hope you enjoyed a bit of card making country style, and hope you

visit the 12 Kits designers for more fun on the farm!

Hugs, y'all!
