I've got a three card post, and my cards fit into multiple challenges, so if you want to bail now, my feelings won't be hurt. I'll try to keep the chatter down, and get on with it.
First up, I made a card for my baby sister's birthday. And I'm playing along with the Time Out Challenge, where we're to CASE the amazing Kylie. Her card is amazing as you'll see, and we're to add our own twist. My twist was to add gold to all the pink, green and white. I didn't have an embossing folder that I was in love with for this card, so I used something different.
Gorgeous, isn't it?! Here's my take:
I got the dp from my other sister (hi Sue!), and used it rather than an ef. PTI tag die and sentiment stamp. I cut the "Lisa" with my Silhouette and sponged on Delicata gold ink before I took it off the mat. Some gold ribbon, W Plus 9 flowers and leaves in various inks and done.
Next is my card to help PTI celebrate their Eighth Anniversary. Lots of celebratory challenges going on there! This one is for the recipe and sketch challenge. Congrats to Nichole and the team!
I chose this palette:
And this sketch:
Here's my card:
All stamps and dies are PTI. A scrap of ribbon, and a recycled bit of twine from a long-forgotten package. Some sequins, a couple of eyelets, and a bit of LF polka dot paper. Green PTI ink, and various others for the rest of the stamping.
And last, but certainly not least, one more card to go into the following challenges: Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge; All Creatures Great and Small, Simon Says Stamp; Work it Wednesday, Penny Black's Simplicity Challenge, and CASology 133; Love. Whew! I think this is the most challenges for one card I've ever done!
All the white is from Michaels. I used an MFT die for the focal panel. The "LOVE" is from good friend Maria, (reislingmama). She was kind enough to send me a card and lots of fun die cuts for my birthday in September. Thanks Maria! I've been hoarding them... The sweet bird and balloon are NBUS from Penny Black. Fell in love with these bitty dies, and am using them for the first time today. I put GA on the bird, but you can't tell from the photo...dang it! Scraps of red and black for the balloon. And that's a wrap. Time for me to put the chili on. Happy dances everyone.

You are a force to be reckoned with when you have mojojuice flowing, Bevie! Your tag cards are fantastic, but that CASology (etc.) card really rocks the LOVE boat, ya ask me! MWAH!! Hugs, Darnell
More beautiful cards! I especially love that sweet balloon holding bird.
Bev, it is so great to meet you! Maria from reislingmama commented on my blog this morning and asked if I knew you. I crawled out from under my rock and popped over to see you, clicked to follow, and then had to leave! Finally back now to say, "hi!" Where have I been?! Anyway, I really love your work, and am so glad to meet a neighbor!
Don't you love it when one card can be entered into so many challenges?? Although its a bit of a mission linking them all...... Just loving your CASE of Kylie's card. I love that gold patterned paper, its stunning and brilliant idea to have the pink tag behind (why didn't I think of that??? Always a pleasure to have you at TIME OUT and hope you get a chance to stay in your PJ's more often!!
Fantastic collection of cards today. They are all wonderful, but I have to admit a partiality to your CASology card. Brilliant detail is the bird--white on white, and that wonderful heart shaped balloon popping up in your love die. Thanks for playing along at CASology this week.
Your sister will love her pretty, personalized card! The other tag card is also very sweet and that bird holding the heart balloon is absolutely adorable!
Well done, Bev!! Love your creativity! The little birdie with the LOVE sentiment is so sweet! Thanks so much for playing Simon Says Stamp Wednesday “All Creatures Great and Small” Challenge
Love the use of DSP instead of EF and gorgoeus use of colour. Thanks for joining us at TIME OUT
All three are adorable, Bev... good luck!!!

Mojo magic abounds!

Wow Bev you have been busy! I love all three of your cards. They are all so unique and so beautiful!! Your take with a twist on Kylie's card is awesome, so loving the gold!!

The paper you cut out the love with is fabulous, I love that heart balloon with the tail in the birds mouth, so cute!! Yes, it is much to cold to be out any, so I'm glad you stayed the day in your jammies, I did too. lol Hugs, Brenda
So nice to see that Mr. Mojo is back and that you are still in your jammies...the best way to be crafty if you ask me! I am in mine while I am typing up your comment. Just beautiful cards. But you final card is just amazing, simply amazing and so clever too. But then you are one amazing card maker. Enjoy your chili...would you mind sharing your recipe? Wishing you and your sweet family a wonderful Valentine's Day!
wow! I love the addition of gold as your twist. So beautiful!! Thank you for your kind words, you are so lovely! xx
A trio of beauties, Bev! Love that gorgeous white and gold DP on the first card and the double layered tag. The yellow polka dots on the second card are scrumptious and I love the teeny flowers. Your third card is my favourite though. Love the striped die cut and that sweet little birdie. So cute! Thanks for playing along with CASology this week!
Gold and pink look so lovely together in your TIME OUT card, Bev, great trio of cards! Such lovely details. Thanks for taking TIME OUT and joining our challenge! :)
Bev, this sounds like a perfect day! Getting caught up on comments, making cards, chili for dinner and staying in pajamas . Then to top it off the cards are all gorgeous! Love the personal one for your sister Lisa and the one with two tiny tags is darling. LOVE the love card with the balloon......just perfect! Looks like mojo is in tact! Hugs!
Hey Bev!! All of your cards are amazing. I love your Love card. The font for the die cut is amazing. I love the touch of the red balloon. Clever!! Thanks for playing along with us this week at CASology.
Gorgeous take on LOVE challenge at CASology. Love the little scene you created with diecuts. Cutie bird holding a balloon string? How clever you are, Bev!!! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us at CASology. Hugs, May
