Thank you very much - SSC359

Hello and welcome. We have a new sketch challenge up over at Sunday Stamps today.  Here is what I did with it.

The flower dies are from The Ton called radiant roses.  I used neenah solar white cardstock to cut the layers out.  Next came some coloring using simon says stamp inks and a blending brush.  The sentiment is also from The Ton.  The background is an unbranded script embossing folder. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Just for you - TSOT658

Hi and welcome to another sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday. 

I used a Penny Black embossing folder to emboss the circle.  The greenery around it comes from several different companies. Lawn Fawn, memory box, Echo Park, etc. 

The cream cardstock is from Papertrey Ink.  The rectangle dot die is from My Favorite Things, and gets a good workout from me. This one and the stitched die are pretty much a staple in all my cardmaking.  Do you have any that get a good workout too?

Have a fintastic day

Hello! Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch tonight.

I decided to stamp something other than flowers for a change. 

Stamps and dies are from Lawn Fawn. I used a Tim Holtz thinlits die on the lefthand side to represent bubbles.  Then I backed it with some darker blue water-featured scrapbook paper, which you can’t see anyway. Pft. 

The wave embossing folder is an old one from Provo Craft that the orca is riding on. He is cut out several times and stacked together for dimension.

Thanks for stopping by!

Trio of butterflies

Hello everyone. It’s time for a new sketch challenge over at Try Stamping On Tuesdays.

 

The butterfly collage stamp is from Unity.  I stamped another two, colored both with Copic's, and fussy cut out two of the butterflies to pop up on the card. The script embossing folder is an old one from Provo Craft.

 

Here is the sketch for you to use as inspiration.

Winter snowflake mittens

Hi everyone. Playing in the sketch challenge over at The Paper Players today, the sketch is down below.

Do you ever have one of those days where everything is stacked against you when you think you have this fabulous idea for a card?  That was me on this one.  I was bound and determined to use this older mitten stamp and die set from Hero Arts. I was having a difficult time choosing the cardstock colors to match the designer paper from Gina K Designs. Should I go with a light or a dark-colored cardstock? I think I waffled on this three times before landing on the dark color.   I heat-embossed the stamp design using white detail embossing powder onto peacock cardstock from C&9th. 

I used an old snowflake embossing folder from Provo Craft for the background.

Christmas cheer

Hello. Playing in a few challenges today. I started off with the sketch over at Sunday Stamps and paired it with the color challenge over at The Paper Players.

The red-striped dp is from my stash of Christmas papers so I have no idea where it came from originally. The poinsettia is cut from paper from Violet's studio designs. I liked that it looks as though it is splattered with white paint. I added some additional greenery behind it for some interest.  The white panel is embossed with an embossing folder and the sentiment is popped up with foam tape. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Coffee over everything

Hello and Welcome to another Fusion Card Challenge, where you can use the sketch or the photo or both. Here is what I did with it.

Used both sides again on this card. I will admit, that this is the second card I made for this challenge as the first one, just didn't do it for me. I love the coffee cup in the photo and I set out to imitate it. Used a die cut and a splatter stamp to get close.  

Please check out the Design Team’s creations for this challenge, once again, they have knocked it out of the park.

Just because - Fusion challenge

Hello. It's time for another Fusion Challenge. Here is the graphic for you.

I was inspired by the hexagons on the cake and the sketch. I used watercolor paper and distress oxide inks to get the blue/teal colors. Once dry, I used an embossing folder and then cut it apart to go with the sketch design.

Please check out the Design Team’s creations for this challenge.

Designer Choice Challenge - circles

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week it is designer choice and Joy wants us to use circles. Here is what I came up with.

I used a circle tag and added the flower (which is fussy cut out) and the sentiment from Repeat Impressions. Leaves are punched out using green cardstock scraps. Finished this off with a few self adhesive pearls. I used a copic marker to color the satin ribbon, tied it on with scrappers floss. The tag is popped up with foam tape to the dot embossed panel (isn't a dot a circle?). Added the pink strips to each side using some connect glue. 

There's a new challenge every week over at  The House That Stamps Built, and you don't have to use Repeat Impressions stamps to link up or win. Also, for my blog readers: Enjoy the 10% discount code to the Repeat Impressions Store posted on the sidebar.

Snow globe

Hello and Happy New Year. We are starting off this week with a designer Choice Challenge. It's Esther's turn and she wants to see snow globes. Here is what I did with it.

The green tree's are a cover die. I sponged on some green ink to the trees and left the outside alone. Ran a piece of white cardstock through the Swiss dots embossing folder (also the stamped globe) so that it appears to be snowing.

I used my Brother Scan N Cut to cut out the snow globe. The base is colored with Copics.

Stamps used on this card:
8901-L, Snow Globe
2709-I, Large Pine Forest
8611-E, Thinking

Tic-Tac-Toe challenge - masculine birthday

Hello, It’s time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week we were challenged to use the following TTT grid.

I went down the middle of the grid.  

I used a piece of thin metal from Ranger to emboss the gears. Then I applied alcohol inks and washed it out using blending solution. It took a lot of rubbing things around to get a good coat of color into the nooks and crannies. I used the vertical Happy Birthday #6104W stamp and layered the metal piece with black cardstock. Love this look for a guy card. 

So, what are you waiting for?!
