Double Post

Good evening!  Tonight's post features two cards covering 4 challenges total.  I wanted to post them all together to save digital space, I suppose.  This first card is for The Pink Elephant 257, as well as Runway Inspired Challenge #63.  I was excited when I saw the inspiration photo as it let me try out my chevron punch for the first time.  I chose to keep it simple and bold with straight edges like the dress.

Here's the inside with the sentiment so you do know it's a birthday card (and that I did use a stamp!)   :)  The black card stock is from a friend, the white from some unpublished books at work, the floral from an anniversary gift from my hubby, and the stamp and ink are Stampin' Up.

This second card is for Seize the Sketch #23 as well as The Paper Players #202.  The Paper Players Challenge was a Tic-Tac-Toe, so I chose to use green, embossing, and birthday.  The green card stock is from my mom, and the white is from those same books at work.  The stamps, ink, embossing folder, and framelit are Stampin' Up.  Hope you enjoy!  <3 JEM

Seize the Sketch #12 - Birthday Card

Good evening all!  This is my submission for Seize the Sketch #12.  I really hoped that this card would come together, and I really think it did!  I actually want to make a bunch more in a similar style now...  Anyway, the white card stock is from Michael's, the purple from a friend, the patterned from an anniversary gift from my hubby, and the ink, embossing powder and stamps are Stampin' Up.  Hope you enjoy!  I'm going to bed...zzz <3 JEM

Seizing the Sketch with the Pink Elephant!

Okay, I lied!  I'm back with one more card today - so productive! ;)  This is my entry for The Pink Elephant #232, and Seize the Sketch #11.  I seem to be into monochromatic a lot lately.  Anyway, the white card stock is from Michael's and a friend, and everything else is Stampin' Up (in Calypso Coral).  Hope you like! <3 JEM
