Altenew April Inspiration Challenge: Blobby Roses + Flowers & Petals Stenciling

Hi Crafty Friends,
I was inspired by the Altenew April Inspiration Challenge hosted by Amy Rysavy (see color below). I made three floral cards with the colors from the moodboard. For my first two cards I used the Altenew 4 in 1 Blobby Roses Stencil and for my last card I used Altenew 4 in 1 Flowers & Petals Layering Stencil with Altenew Frosted Pink, Coral Berry, and Tickled Pink Fresh Dye Inks for the flowers and Lettuce Celebrate and Just Green for the leaves. All three cards have sentiment dies from the Altenew XOXO & More Die Set and mini sentiments below the dies from Altenew Thank You Stamp Set and Thinking of You Stamp Set. 

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Which floral card do you like the best?
A: Me? I like the Flowers & Petals stenciled one.

Holiday Floral Cards

Hi Crafty Friends,
Who says flowers have to be a spring thing? I was inspired by the Honey Bee Stamps Buzzworthy Facebook Challenge: Florals for these two holiday cards. Both use Honey Bee Stamps Poinsettia Stencil but I made the Christmas one poinsettias (for the Christmas Kickstart Challenge #97 Lovely Poinsettias) and a Thanksgiving one where I turned the poinsettias into sunflowers. Both use Honey Bee Stamps Bitty Buzzwords for the sentiments.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Which holiday do yo like better Christmas or Thanksgiving?
A: Me? Definitely Christmas!

Card #1: Christmas Joy Poinsettias

Card #2: Grateful Sunflowers
