Paper Craft Crew 263 Sketch Challenge

Squeeee!!! Happy Wednesday! We are over the hump and well on our way to the weekend. I am back with the Paper Craft Crew this week with a fun sketch! We all know that a sketch is very much ones interpretation! I couldn't wait to bust out the brand new Stampin' Blends! These markers are amazing!!!



Okay, I really took a really whimsical approach to this sketch...

This card was really so much fun to make! I started with a base of Rich Razzleberry with a soft matte of Soft Sky. I stamped the images from Touches of Texture using the Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Once I had them stamped I used the Stampin' Blends to color them in shades of Pink Pirouette, Rich Razzleberry and Pool Party, with accents of Old Olive and Daffodil Delight. Some nice Gold Metallic Thread loops were a nice touch of sparkle with the Glitter Enamel Dots. The sentiment is from Birthday Blooms and was the perfect touch to this stunning card!

Thank you so much for stopping in! I can't wait to see what you ink up for this weeks challenge!

Stamp Ink Paper 75 Color Challenge

Happy Tuesday! I am so excited for Thursday, aren't you? I mean, Thanksgiving is my favorite meal to cook!

This week with Stamp Ink Paper we have a color challenge that can be used in so many ways! I must be honest, I was bit rebellious and used Sweet Sugarplum as well! I hope you love my fun take on our challenge for this week!

So my fun card started with the Touches of Texture set! I stamped the spattered background in Pool Party ink and the vintage lace like border was heat embossed in copper! My Sweet Sugar Plum tree from the Peaceful Pines Bundle is adorned with heat embossed copper dots! I did some quick Metallic Copper Thread loops behind the tree and attached it with Stampin' Dimensionals! My lovely sentiment is from Reason for the Season, it too is heat embossed in copper. A Pool Party matte on a Copper Foil card base was just the right touch with my Fancy Frost Sequins!

I can't wait to see what you all come up with! You can find a full list of the items used below!
Have a great day!

Stamp Ink Paper 70 Tic Tac Toe Challenge!

Hey Guys! It is Tuesday and I am designing for the Stamp Ink Paper Challenge!
We are on challenge #70 so Lisa and Sandy cooked up a really cute Tic Tac Toe I know you are going to love!

I have to admit I was a bit of an overachiever for this challenge! I really am out of FALL ideas! But I had everything cut and ready to go (even showed some of you!). So on my Tic Tac Toe I went straight across the top! Leaves, Green and Patterned Paper! 

This tray is from a Stampin' Up! kit of long ago and I actually have two! I knew as soon as I opened the Hello Lovely Project Life set exactly what I was going to do!

Creative way to make a Tic Tac Toe right?
I can't wait to see how creative you get for this challenge!

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!

The Paper Craft Crew 204 Sketch Challenge

Wednesday!!! We are almost over the hump! I got the kids all registered yesterday at school! I still can't believe that my oldest will be in middle school!

This week at Paper Craft Crew we have a fun sketch for you to

Play along with!! I kind of ran wild with this sketch but as soon as I figured out in my head what I was doing it really did come together nicely!

So the muse for this card as it came together was the Serene Scenery DSP! It has a lovely aqua wood sheet that I really can't get enough of! I added to the wood using the Timeless Textures distressed wood like stamp using Bermuda Bay Ink! This too is what color the base of my card is. I then did a matte of Pool Party to coordinate with the DSP. The Whisper White is stamped using the Touches of Texture with Crumb Cake ink,Timeless Textures in Pool Party and Bermuda Bay. I also used the same colors on my Gina Marie Stitched Banner! Although, the Pool Party is heat embossed (I have a stash of retired embossing powders) and a I sprayed some Heidi Swapp White Color Shine to give it a shimmer. Before adhering the banner to the card I ran a strip of the burlap down the edge of my DSP. I then used some Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the banner to the card. The Gold Foil Butterfly was the perfect touch on this card! I really wish Stampin' Up! would have some more word thinlits! The Hope is from the Sunshine Wishes set. I cut this from Bermuda Bay Card stock and made it sparkle using Clear Wink of Stella! I couldn't leave this card alone, so added some Pretty Pink Posh Sequins!

Thank You so much for stopping in! I can't wait to see what you all come up with!
