That Might Look Good on a Card: February 2019

Today I wanted to try a die from Tattered Lace that I had received in a blog challenge a long time ago. And it just so happened to be perfect for the "magic" element requested by Twisted Sister at Double Trouble Challenge #22.

I've made a tiny Magic Slider Card and attached it to the front of a normal A2 card.

Trouble Maker supplied a Tic Tac Toe board this week.

I chose the middle row: sentiment, image. sparkle/glitter.

The sentiment is a CTMH stamp and the image was a freebie magazine stamp.

Glitter foil is a fabulous way to get that sparkle without the mess.

I used it on both the flourish and the butterfly.

And Double Dare wants everyone to also enter the Use Your Stuff Challenge #348 .

Additional Challenges I am entering:

Little Red Wagon Challenge #484 - Move On!

A Gem of a Challenge Week 3 - AG

Crafter's Cafe Challenge #213 - Fancy Folds or Embossing or both

Animal Friends February Challenge - Butterflies

Joyful Stars Close to My Heart February Blog Hop

Welcome to the February

Close to My Heart Joyful Stars Blog Hop.

Have some fun hopping between the blogs of this group of talented Close to My Heart consultants, and me, where we share creative projects using CTMH products.

Today I have a wrap card to share with you.

And since I had a few extra hearts, I added them to the inside top panel of the card.

I got the idea for this wrap card from a tutorial I saw on a blog called A Place to Start. You'll find a very nice wrap card tutorial there. My heart dies weren't as large as the ones that Chana used, so I just used a few more to get the full wrap effect.

Now, since this is a blog hop,

you might have arrived here from Krista Hershberger's blog.

Your next stop is Joyce Gough's blog.

The hop is circular.

If you are just starting here,

simply continue hopping until you find your way back,

making the full circle.

And while you do that I'll enter a few challenges:

A Place to Start February Challenge - Inspirational die or stamp

Crafty Catz Challenge #448 - AG with Hearts & Flowers

Fab n Funky Challenge #426 - Hearts & Flowers

Aud Sentiment Challenge #220 - Love or Valentine Sentiment

Card Club Penny Card

Today at Card Club we made this cute motion card.

The gal sitting next to me got some ink smudges on the top left portion of her card, so we added a few banners to hide them. It looked so cute, I added some to my card. Then we used the same paper to cover the inside penny, too.

Thanks for stopping by.

Smile Birthday Card

Yesterday I began working on a wrap card for the CTMH Joyful Stars Blog Hop next week. Today, as I was assembling it, I accidentally applied the glue to the wrong side of the patterned paper. Luckily, I also needed to make a birthday card. And the paper that had glue all over it became the center section of this card.
