Paper Craft Crew 217 Sketch Challenge

Happy Hump Day! I think that Fall is finally here and I can put away ALL the shorts! I am so glad Halloween is over and my mind is working over time on holiday themed cards now!

I am designing with Paper Craft Crew today with a fun little sketch that I even got to use washi tape on! I immediately thought of a shaker but somehow this card took me 3 hours to come up with! Lets get to the details!

So I must confess that my sentiment is not from any of the sets below... I actually made this little cutie with the Home Sweet Home bundle! I stamped it in Crumb Cake ink and used my Garden Green Stampin' Write Marker for the sentiment. Now that I have that confession out of the way... my card starts with a base of Garden Green Card Stock with a lovely matte of Cherry Cobbler. My detailed layer is Crumb Cake Card stock that has been stamped with Crumb Cake ink using the Hardwood stamp horizontally then using my daubers along the edges to give it a distressed look! For my doily in the sketch I used one of the scalloped circles from the Layering Circles die with a piece of DSP from the Warmth & Cheer stack. I made a fun little shaker using both the Jar of Love and Jar of Cheer stamp sets with the coordinating Everyday Jars Framelits. I colored the snowman that I stamped in Basic Black Archival ink using my Stampin' Write markers to coordinate with the card. A quick little linen thread bow on the neck of the jar seemed to be just the right touch. A couple quick strips of the Warmth & Cheer Washi, some unraveled Burlap Ribbon, and few little sparkled to finish this fabulous card off!

Paper Craft Crew 210 Sketch Challenge

Happy Wednesday! We are socked in with fog this morning! The weather guy told me yesterday that he thinks our severe weather season is over. Which is okay I guess but I don't get the pictures like the one I shared with you yesterday very much.

I am going to call today Shaker Card Wednesday! Today is one of the only days where I end up posting twice... so stay tuned this evening!

This week with Paper Craft Crew we have a sketch that was rather daunting to look at. It really had a lot of elements to try to represent! Challenge accepted though and I just love this little card!

First let me say that this paper is so much fun! I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do initially... I actually made my candy jar first using the Jar of Love Bundle with a Crumb Cake jar using Early Espresso ink. I always adhere my window panel on a shaker with Tear N Tape. The Foam Adhesive strips are a God send when it comes to doing shakers. They are just the right thickness so that all of your bits shake really well! My candy in jar is about 5 Real Red stamped peppermints from the Jar of Cheer set that have been punched using a 1/2 inch Circle Punch! I had some loose seed beads to put into my shaker along with some sequins. When I made this card I had received my second holiday catalog order yet, I used the metallic red thread at the top of the jar! If my I had been smart, I should have used the Candy Cane Lane Bakers Twine. The jar is adhered to a circle with a cute little tag coming off the right with "Tis the Season" heat embossed in white. This cute sentiment is from the Peaceful Pines set in the Annual Catalog. Once I had this part figured out the Large Polka Dot TIEF seemed to be the folder that spoke to me! There was still that twine bow with banner at top and I wasn't sure how to nail it! Well, I think I did! I simply fussy cut the mittens from the DSP and adhered them to the thick white bakers twine with glue dots and dimensionals! Now that I had that figured out I adhered the Real Red Large Dots to the Early Espresso....BOOM! 

It really is a great little card! 

Thank You for stopping by!
