HQ for Shaped Cards and Tags - Thankful for You

 Welcome to Heart'sQuest for Shaped Cards and Tags and our February challenge! 

This challenge is always about tags or shaped cards. 

I used a set of dies from The Stamps of Life to create this thankful card. 

The dies honestly do all the work for this - I just chose the papers. Since the sentiment is all about thankfulness, I decided to add some hearts along the sides. I didn't have a lot of choice of colours as the papers were blue, cinnamon and peach so I stayed with those colours. I added a smaller heart to the centre of the larger ones and I placed a gold gem in the centre of the smallest hearts. There is a panel inside the card to write a message. 

Come and join us at HQFSCAT and show us how you interpret this challenge. 

You have until the end of the month to link up your project. 

We can't wait to see what you create!

Enjoy,

HQ for Shaped Cards and Tags - Peace and Joy Poinsettias

 Welcome to Heart's Quest for Shaped Cards and Tags Challenge!

This is always a shaped card or tag challenge. 

I used a poinsettia die to create my card. Once the base was cut, I cut a second panel, stamped and coloured it. The sentiment was embossed on black cardstock and added to the front. I used clear Stickles to add some shimmer to the centres of the flowers and the berries.

DT 137 - A Trio of Piggies

 Welcome to Double Trouble Challenge 137! 

It's all about nursery rhymes this week. The small graphic is below - please visit the Double Trouble Challenge Blog for detailed information. 

I chose to use "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" for my nursery rhyme. Of course, Old MacDonald had every animal imaginable on his farm so I chose pigs! 

The background for my card was ink blended and splattered with water before being die cut. I used the inner dies to cut the white circles and stamped and coloured the pigs. Two of the pigs are holding blue hearts as well (Thing 3). I die cut additional circles - dark blue ones to fit behind each image and light pink ones to surround the dark blue sections. Small sentiments were added under each pig. 

Come and join us at Double Trouble and show us your nursery rhyme inspired projects. 

You have two weeks to link up your project. 

I am also linking up my card with Heart's Quest Challenge 31 (use hearts or love).

We can't wait to see what you create! 

Enjoy,
