Let's Pawty! for Cute Card Thursday

 It's the first Thursday of the month, and that means it's time for a new challenge at Cute Card Thursday. Challenges are Anything Goes, with an optional twist.  This month, the twist is Birthdays.  The challenge will run all month.

We have 3 sponsors each month, with one of those sponsors being Whimsy Stamps. I found this adorable stamp while perusing the vast selection of digital stamps...

This Dachshund Balloon is by Crissy Armstrong.  So cute, isn't it? I colored it with Copic markers. I created the rocking card to mount Dachschund Balloon on, because it seemed to need some movement.

I cut the rocking card out on my Silhouette Cameo 3 with a file I found in the Silhouette Design Store. the balloon paper and the cardstock is from Crafter's Companion.  The sentiment is from an acrylic stamp I got at Close To My Heart. 

I hope you can join us this month at Cute Card Thursday.  You have all month for your anything goes projects, and Id love to see what you create!

 It's the first Thursday of the month, so that means it's time for a new challenge at Cute Card Thursday Challenges. Challenge now are month-long.  They are Anything Goes with an optional theme.  This month's twist is Bright Colors.  I like that!

One of our sponsors each month is Whimsy Stamps. They have so many great products, including a digital release each month.  Today, I'm freaturing this Snowman & Bird by CC Designs, found at Whimsy Stamps. 

I colored Snowman and Bird with a combination of Spectrum Noir and Copic markers, using bright colors to fit the challenge theme.  The card base is a die from Sizzix.  The designer paper is from We Are 3 Digital Shop. The panels are from the Color Me Christmas Collection.  I computer generated the sentiment and cut it out with a die from Queen and Company.  The snowflakes are dies from Lawn Fawn.

The 4th of July is a big, big holiday here in the States, and my little town has a huge celebration.  Last year, of course, was a bust, but this year, the party is on!  There's things happening on all weekend, but the highlights are a huge parade, a beach party, and of course fireworks.  I believe this little guy is ready for the action...

adorable, isn't he!  He's from Whimsy Stamps, one if this month's sponsors. He is part of the Gnome Summer Celebration Digital Stamp Set.  He is one of 3 stamps in the set. 

I colored the Gnome Summer Celebration with Copic markers, then went searching for some patriotic papers.  I found these at AMBillustrations. They are the Stars & Stripes papers.

The blue star embellishments are large sequins from Close To My Heart.  I computer generated the sentiment, and placed it on a banner form Tonic Studios. 

I hope I have as much fun on the 4th as this guy appears to be having!

I used the Whimsy Stamps digital image Esther Bunny for today's card. She's a release by Some Odd Girl. 

I colored Esther Bunny with Copic markers, then fussy cut her out.  Here's a close up of the coloring: 

She's got sort of a sassy look on her face, doesn't she?  Maybe she's already eaten all the jelly beans?

Here's a close up of the sentiment:

I found the sentiment while cruising Pinterest. Where else, right?

The floral stitched background is a slimline die from Diamond Press.  The floral background paper is part of the Caring Thoughts paper pad by Crafter's Companion.  The paper flowers are from my stash.

I found this darling older stamps at Bugaboo Stamps that I thought would work for both design teams, and thus, both posts, so I am combining them here.  It just so happens Bugaboo Stamps is the awesome sponsor of this week's challenge at Cute Card Thursday! 

Here's Happy Easter to Ewe:

I colored Happy Easter to Ewe with Copic markers, then found a sketch I liked at Sketch Saturday and used it for this card.  The papers are from AMB Illustrations.  The sentiment comes with the Happy Easter to Ewe image.

Snowman Slimline (wouldn't you want to be a slim snowman?)

 I'm posting today for both Bugaboo Stamps and Cute Card Thursday.  It's Oldie But Goodie Day on the Catch the Bug Blog, and I colored up one of my favorite little Bugaboo Stamps Snowman.  The theme this week at Cute Card Thursday is Slimline Cards, so I made my adorable little snowman into a slimline card.  Why fit one theme when you can make it fit 2? 

I created this slimline card with a file I found in the Silhouette Design Store and this Snowflake Snowman Digital Stamp...

I colored Snowflake Snowman with Copic markers.  Once the card was cut out on my Silhouette Cameo 3, it was only a matter of constructing it. That cute Snowflake Snowman makes the card, doesn't he?

There will be other fun Oldie but Goodies on the Catch the Bug Blog, so please check it out. If you make a slimline card this week, link it up at Cute Card Thursday!  The sponsor is Stamper's Delights.

Using the adorable Valentine Delivery Pup, I created this:

I colored Valentine Delivery Pup with Copic markers, then fussy cut it out.  The cute heart background paper is from AMB Illustrations.  The sending love sentiment and banner are from Crafter's Companion.  The various heart die cuts are from my stash.

I used the current sketch at Sketch Saturday to jump start my creativity, and plan to enter this in the challenge there.
