Card Challenges and Quilt Cards

Today was PJ day until a friend called and wanted to come over!  I was busy making cards for challenges on Splitcoast Stampers.  Here they are:This first one was made for the color challenge today.  Here's my card for Color Challenge 355 for Splitcoast Stampers using white, bashful blue and navy. I chose my Handstand Mouse from High Hopes Stamps for this challenge. I stamped in black ink then colored with copics. I sponged the border in bashful blue then ran it through the cuttlebug. I loved the stitching look of the folder. I then used the heart border from Verve Stamps, Thankful Hearts.
I just got this cute set of High Hopes stamps called Three Pane Easter. I thought there's got to be more than Easter to use this for. I made a baby card with it for today's challenge I put them behind the window like they are waiting for the new baby to arrive. I used my large window die, and a Baby border embossing folder. I added a regal rose bow at the top to draw your eye to the text.
Check out Karen's card here which was made of 1" squares cut in half.http://karenbarberstamps.blogspot.co...chin-time.html Mine is 3/4" squares cut in half. I used calypso coral paper for the background. Lucky limeade and pool party and vanilla papers were used as well. The designer paper is for SAB in late Jan. called Everyday Enchantment. I used the new edgelits with the embossing border which will be out in January from SU. I pieced the quilt square like Karen suggested using the SU grid paper. I also used the finial press embossing folder on the quilt piece itself.

I started CASING Karen Barber's card and checked out the quilted cards gallery and found Julie's card. It was fun to make this. May have to make a few more from that gallery! Thanks Julie. I've use Antique Boutique paper and brads. I also used the tiny SU silver brads on this card.
Well today we got huge snowflakes falling all over.  Got several inches in no time at all.  I like to look at it but don't like to drive in it.  I love snow days too.
Tomorrow I hope to get some things done around the house.  Having today to stamp was fun.  That's what vacation is for right?
Thanks for stopping by.
Blessings,
