Here's a card I made for the CASology #39 challenge where the cue card word is "travel." I paper pieced this A Muse art stamp called "doggie bag" with some pink striped dsp and used the SU! tag punches with a piece of matching ribbon. The sentiment is by Hero Arts, and I thought this would be a fun card for OWH soldiers to send home to their families.
Lately, I've been loving pink & black together, and today's OWH Stars and Stamps midweek throwdown is to use our favorite color combination. My all-time favorite combo is purple & green, but I can't make every card with those colors, so I move on to new favorites all the time. Here's my current fav....
I'm also entering this into Pixie's Crafty Snippet Playground #67 since I used mostly scraps to put this together!
Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope you all have a fabulous day!

Your hexagon card is gorgeous! And wow, I can't believe you handcut all of those. I'm glad you enjoyed doing it, though. I love the fancy tag tied with the pink twine. Wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteLeave it to you to post a card with lots of white space, immediately followed by one with an intricate pattern! {smile}
ReplyDeleteBoth are fabulous!
OMG.....I am in LOVE with your sweet lil' Casology card.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of the day I brought my new little "Skye" home in her little travel bag. Perfect for the challenge too.
Also fabulous color combo...not sure I could pick a favorite COMBO, but I sure do have a favorite COLOR!!!
Wanna Guess??
Pink and black is always striking combo. Your eforts are all worth it. This card is as lovely as can be. Talk soon.
ReplyDeleteYour doggie card is so sweet and as adorable as a card can be...
ReplyDeletePink and black is my very favorite combo. So now you're in my territory...It takes me forever to make a card. My card for the lady who was my Mother's best friend, took me four evenings to make. Not that I'm slow or anything...LOL
Great job with all that cutting.
Two wonderful card. That second ones is such proof that even the teeniest of scraps can still be used!!!
ReplyDeletePink and black is always a fantastic combo and love these cards!
ReplyDeleteThat first one just puts a smile all over my face....CAS and as cute as can be.
LOVE all the different hexagons on that second beauty!

Love the pink and black and I can see that it must have taken a long time to create. Love your adorable little travel card!
ReplyDeleteWOW!! This is really lovely!All the work you put into it was worth this outcome. Such a unique way to use scraps too.
ReplyDeleteAh, Carol, what fun! Your sweet little traveling dog is exactly why Webster invented the word "chortle!" So I thank you for the chortle and the opportunity to bring it back into everyday usage. It's a cool word. You can't really say it without doing it!
ReplyDeleteI am not sure I could choose between the cuteness of the first card or the elegance of the second. I choose both!
ReplyDeleteLook at both of these great cards! I love how cute the puppy card is at the top...just adorable! Wow, I can't imagine the time it took you to cut the hexes but SOOO worth the time because it's just a stunning card! Love the pink and black color combo too!
ReplyDeleteAwesome combination of colors. I've never tried the two together, but your cards have inspired me to do it!
ReplyDeleteAck! So cute! That little pooch is adorable and I love the ribbon you used! Thanks for playing along with CASology this week!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are really adorable! Love the sentiment on the first one!
ReplyDeleteThe second one is so pretty with those colors and all those hex shapes! Fabulous job with these, Carol!!! :)
How did you like the weather today? We got up to 88 and although i'm happy it's warmer....this was a bit too much too soon. Thunderstorms on the horizon tonight!!
These cards better go to someone special with all the tender loving care you put into them!!!! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteYour hexagon card is gorgeous Carol, it worth all the work you put in it, love the colors and the frame for the sentiment. TFS
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous - must have taken ages cutting out all thos little bits - wonder if SU will bring out a matching punch?
ReplyDeleteSo, that's where you were yesterday...putting that hexagon card together. It's fabulous and I know you mean it when you say time consuming. Well worth it, though.
ReplyDeleteI love your adorable CASology card. What a cute image and I really like the stapled ribbon.
Gorgeous colour combination! I love the clean layout and the sweet image of your doggy bag! Thanks so much for playing along with us at CASology this week!
ReplyDeleteGorgeouse scissor work on your card. I love that pink and black combo and I used it on my card too! Have a great day!
