Paper Craft Crew 218 Tic Tac Toe Christmas Shaker Embossing

Good Morning! I feel like I am waking up from a wild night out with the girls..fortunately there was no adult beverages involved, just me agonizing over the election. I am sure that we are all glad that is over and done with. No more phone calls, extra mail and wasted commercial space!

I am so excited for this weeks Paper Craft Crew Challenge! We have a fun Tic-Tac-Toe that gives you a TON of options! I went diagonally from the bottom up, Christmas Theme-Shaker Card-Embossing! It will be fun to see what we all come up with! Now let me show you what I came up with!

We all know that every now and then I have a rebellious streak and use something that isn't Stampin' Up! This great Joy stamp and die set is from Concord & 9th. I recently purchased this from the Stamp Ink Paper store I love that the die leaves and outline of the stamped image so of course I took the opportunity to make a shaker card! All of my ink and card stock is Stampin' Up! Night of Navy and Smoky Slate was the perfect color combo for this nice Christmas themed card! I even heat embossed the sentiment in silver onto the Night of Navy!

I can't wait to see how you make your 3 in a row! I can't wait to see you play along!

So let me tell you something.... This was not my original card! Go ahead laugh! I had started and spent HOURS on another card! I didn't love it, and frankly I thought that there was going to be SOOOOOO many butterflies in this challenge, I needed to mix it up! This card uses 4 stamp sets! Ghoulish Grunge, Timeless Textures, Touches of Texture and Awesomely Artistic! I even used Rose Red and that is branching out for me! The metallic gold is Heidi Swapp  gold color shine to add some sparkle as well as the gold heat embossed dragon fly on my Gina Marie Stitched Circle! The "Shine" sentiment is from the Sunshine Wishes thinlits. I simply trimmed the Sunshine die cut! For my final touch I used some Pretty Pink Posh sequins!

Thank You so much for stopping in! I can't wait to see your Wonderful Wings card!

Paper Craft Crew 208 Sketch Challenge

Good Morning! Happy Wednesday! It is officially T-Minus 24 hours til the Tucker kids are back in school!! Troy and I went to Back To School Night with our oldest last night. It will be his first year in middle school and I think he is a little nervous!

This week with Paper Craft Crew we have a fun little sketch! I just couldn't wait to use my new goodies from The Stamp Ink Paper Store! Justin was kind enough to take me on a Facetime tour of product! Well, Reverse Confetti won me over and this coffee set it is just adorable!

My Card started with a Basic Black base and a Real Red matte... I still used Stampin' Up! Cardstock and Ink to make my card. My cute paper is from the American Crafts Hot Cocoa collection and although it was a little wintery it spoke to me! My cute sentiment is all one stamp that I trimmed up to go with the sketch. This was stamped in Real Red ink onto Whisper White card stock. My tag is from a pack I acquired a while back and to me fit the genre of the card. My fab little coffee mug was stamped in Soft Suede ink and the little polka dots were stamped in Real Red. The Reverse Confetti Caffeinated Cups stamps are photopolymer so it was really easy to create my cup and then die cut it! I finished this with some cute red metallic thread...

Thank you so much for stopping by! I can't wait to see what you come up with for this sketch!
