two more cards...

Hey friends!!  Happy weekend!!  Popping in with a couple of cards to share for several challenges:  Sweet Sunday Sketches, CASology (pie), Freshly Made Sketches and Merry Monday.  The first card is for CASology and Sweet Sunday Sketches.  When I saw the cue word pie it made me think of my Simon Says Stamp November card kit and the fun stamp set that it came with that revolves around pie and so I just had to play along.   And since the Sweet Sunday Sketches layout was super simple the two were the perfect fit!  The SSS card kit came with a pack of die cuts and I actually used a couple of those for my card along with a sentiment from the stamp set and some patterned paper from the kit.   I die cut my panel from kraft cardstock and a second from patterned paper.  The patterned paper piece was cut on the diagonal and adhered to the kraft panel.  The little berry sprig and pie were then layered on.  I stamped the banner in kraft ink and added the sentiment in red, trimmed out the banner and adhered it to the card... super simple.

The second card is for the current Merry Monday challenge to use a bird on your Christmas card and uses the current FMS layout.  Don't have a lot of bird images, but I do have this cute little Memory Box bird die so I used that.  The papers and cardstock I used for this card are from the Simon Says Stamp December card kit.  Since I wanted the bird to be perched on the banner I decided to use that strip that runs across the sketch as the place to put my sentiment.   After die cutting everything and layering it on the card base.  I thought the bird looked a little plain just sitting there on the banner so I added some loops of silver metallic thread to give him a place to perch.   The sentiment is from the very old PTI set Merry Little Christmas.  I added a couple of sequins that came with the kit to either side of the sentiment for a bit more finished look.    Another super simple... but at this time of the year simple works really well for me, lol!!  This card fits the current Memory Box challenge so I will be posting this card there, as well.
