Day 5: Friends in any weather!

Hi friends!

It's the final day of my weekly blog series
 "5 days of ..."

The Alphabet Game!

It's been such a fun week
and I'm already excited for the next one ahead :)

Today's card is based on letter "H!"

 

 This was such a happy draw for me as I have quite a few stamp sets

with this letter

and almost all of them haven't seen ink.

This darling set is by Hello Bluebird stamps and it just touched my heart 

when I saw this various social media sites during release week!

I used a background panel to create the weathered look 

with distress/oxide inks and popped the images up on the card with foam. 

I stamped the sentiment on the completed background piece

and popped up a die cut to frame it in - 

then added coordinating sequins.

 

 This card is part of my #kindess cards

(as per kindness being my word of the year!)

Each of the cards during this week's release

 is being sent to someone in particular!

While this rainy day card is vibrant and bright and cheerful in color,

so is she - my friend :)

We have weathered a lot together, too!

Thanks for stopping by each day!

Remember there is a prize for one lucky commenter,

and each winner will be annoucned at the end of the weekly series:  July 27th.

Thank you for your KIND and sweet words, your encouragement,

and inspiring me with each of your creations as I visit your blogs, too!

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

CCEE 1804 ~ Can't Imagine .....

Hello friends!

The CCEE Stampers have a new challenge this week :)

Liz has given us our last challenge for the month of January
and it's a fun one!
We are to create a card using our favorite card making technique ~
and for me, it's masking and/or paper piecing .... so why not both! ♥

When MFT released their Furever Friends card kit, I about fell out of my chair!
I love ALL things with puppies and just have. to. have. it.  LOL!
My sweet husband saw me oohing and awwwing over the DT cards 
and somehow found out the where/when/how and ordered it for me ~
and it was in my stocking Christmas morning ♥
Yes - he's a keeper!

AND, today it's getting a debut on my blog!
I created this card by stamping the puppy and kitten in the pet bed first,
then masking it off to stamp a puppy on one side, kitten on the other.
After coloring the entire card,
I restamped the little bed on designer paper and cut/glued it to the card.
Lastly, I stamped the matching sentiment and added some corner banners.

You, too, can play along with this week's challenge!
Simply link up your card to your blog/linky or a gallery and 
use the codeword CCEE1804 and we'll stop by to visit!

If you'd like to see what the rest of the DT has created,
you can see those cards here.

Thanks for your visit today!
Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥
