A Card for My Niece

Hello!  Just popping in to share a card I made for one of my nieces who recently had a birthday.  Skulls wouldn't normally be my thing for a birthday card, but for a girl who loves Monster High, this works. :) The theme was certainly inspired by my niece, but I was also inspired by the current Fusion challenge.  It's been ages since I played along with a Fusion challenge, but I couldn't get the pink and the tad bit of shiny silver from the inspiration photo out of my head.  I loved the sketch, too, but that will have to be inspiration for another day.  Hope you enjoy the last day of the weekend!

Supplies
Stamps: PTI (Autumn Pattern Pieces, Polka Dot Parade #7), WPlus9 (Strictly Sentiments 1)
Ink: PTI (raspberry fizz, true black)
Other: silver sequins

The FINAL W&W + SSS Challenge Card!

Yep, you read that right...this is the last one...finally!  I really did have a ton of fun making cards for Winnie & Walter's Share the Love Week featuring Simon Says Stamp.  I tried some new things and used some never before used supplies, which is always a good thing.  I also realized that I desperately  need to invest in some more stamp sets from Winnie & Walter.  I guess the one plus in my extremely limited supply is that it made it really easy to enter their Just One Stamp Set Challenge. :)

I also made this card with Winnie & Walter's Rainbow Color Palate Challenge in mind.  I think it turned out pretty fun.  It's actually one of my favorites.  Phew...I'm exhausted from all this posting. Thanks so much for visiting.  I'm hoping to have some time this week to catch up on all of your blogs.  Have the most wonderful week!!!

PS Thanks Marybeth for reminding me about the latest NBUS Challenge going on.  I did thinking of it as I created many of my W&W + SSS cards because I was so happy to be using so many of my "never-before-used-schtuff", but totally forgot about it when it came to posting.  So...I'm also linking this up to NBUS Challenge #2.  (My NBUS on this one are the thanks die and the pink sequins.  And these particular watercolors if you want to be technical.) 

Supplies
Stamps: Winnie & Walter (The Big, the Bold, and the Happy)
Ink: Simon Says Stamp (Smoke)
Other: Simon Says Stamp  (Thanks die), Pretty Pink Posh (Fresh Mint, Pink Peonies, and Sparkling Clear Sequins), watercolors

W&W + SSS Christmas Shaker

Hello, again!  I'm almost done for the day...really...just a couple more to go!  After making this card and this card I had a bunch of extra little die cut holly pieces that I thought would look cute in a shaker, which is how this super simple Christmas card was born.  I added some sequins from Pretty Pink Posh, stamped a sentiment and was done.  I finished this card in 7 minutes 54 seconds and am linking it to Winnie & Walter's 10 Minute Dash Challenge.  Since I only used one stamp set from Winnie & Walter and one from Simon Says Stamp, I'm also linking it to Winnie & Walter's Just One Stamp Set Challenge.

Supplies
Stamps: SSS (Christmas), W&W (The Big, the Bold, and the Happy)
Ink: PTI (True Black) 
Paper: PTI (Berry Sorbet, Clear Cardstock, New Leaf, Pure Poppy, Spring Moss, White)
Other: LID (Stitched Rectangles Die), PTI (Holly Jolly Dies), PPP (Woodland Mix and Sweetheart Mix Sequins)

Winnie & Walter + Simon Says Stamp Christmas Card Take 2

Here is another Christmas card I made for the Winnie & Walter Share the Love Week Challenges featuring Simon Says Stamp products.  I wasn't able to finish my first card in time for the 10 Minute Dash Challenge, so I thought I switch things up a bit and try again.  Why I thought adding more would help me finish in a shorter amount of time is just beyond me!  I do love how it turned out, except can you see my biggest booboo?  I adhered the stamped "happy" word panel upside down.  In my defense, the "h" does look like a "y" when it is upside down.  Hopefully whoever receives this card (a) won't notice or (b) won't care. :)   I'm linking this one up to the following challenges:

Winnie & Walter's Just One Stamp Set Challenge

Winnie & Walter's Sketch Challenge

Simon Says...STAMPtember Stamp-It Challenge 

NBUS Challenge #2 (My never-before-used-schtuff are the SSS Christmas stamp set and the SSS 2 Tier Folded Banner Die.  I used the side options for this challenge: 1) Christmas and 2) create 2 cards using the same stamp. (See the 2nd card here.)

Supplies
Stamps: SSS (Christmas), W&W (The Big, the Bold, and the Happy)
Ink: PTI (Berry Sorbet, Kraft)

Winnie & Walter + Simon Says Stamp: Christmas Edition

I'm linking this up to Winnie & Walter's Share the Love Just One Stamp Set Challenge. I used one stamp set from each company.  W&W's The Big, the Bold, and the Happy and Simon Says Stamp's Christmas stamp set.  I also made this for Simon Says...STAMPtember Stamp-It Challenge and attempted to make it in 10 minutes for Winnie & Walter's 10 Minute Dash Challenge, but it took about 16 minutes to make. This is one of my very favorites from all the Winnie & Walter challenge cards I made.  In fact, I think it is my favorite.   Even my husband liked it, which is always a plus. :)  Oh, and I almost forgot.  The layout is from Winnie & Walter's Sketch Challenge.
ETA: I'm also linking this up to the latest NBUS Challenge #2 going on.  I honestly was so excited to use some of my never-been-used Simon Says Stamp goodies on this card...the Christmas stamps and the 2 tier folded banner die.  Plus, I was able to use the side options for this challenge: 1) Christmas and 2) create 2 cards using the same stamp. (See the 2nd card here.)
