The first card is for the current CAS(E) this sketch. I recently purchased a bundle of BasicGrey 25th & Pine products from Peachy Cheap (they have daily deals... check'em out!). One of the items in the bundle was a pack of die cut numbers (large and small) so I decided to use them for my card. I cut a strip of patterned paper from the 25th & Pine 6x6 pad and adhered it to my white cardstock panel. The numbers 2 and 5 were adhered. A piece of baker's twine was cut and attached to a chipboard sticker from the bundle and then adhered to the panel. A little twine bow finished things off. The sentiment is from the Penny Black set called "Christmas Treasurers". 
My second card is for the current My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch challenge. I haven't done one of their sketches in ages, but this one caught my fancy and so I made this little Valentine. I used patterned paper from the PTI Simple Valentine paper pad and the MFT stamp set Homespun Hearts. The "hello" was die cut using the MFT Happy Hellos Die-namics set. I stamped the dots image from the MFT Distressed Background Blocks on white cardstock using light pink ink and then die cut the word. The word was also die cut from pink cardstock and then the stamped word was inlaid into the pink cardstock. A heart was die cut using the Rustic Hearts Die-namics and stamped with the corresponding heart image using dark pink ink. I punched the scalloped edge with an EK Success punch. A pink button and some red sequins finished off the card.Thanks for stopping by...
