Thanks - SSC379

Hi and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  Use up your scraps! 

I used up some scraps that I had from the daisy dsp paper pack from Moda Scrap.  The daisy die is from The Stamp Market, and the "thanks" die is from Altenew.  Yep, that is vellum that the daisy is attached to.  I wanted to make the DSP visible so that it all ties together. 

The sketch is intended to be a scrap buster, so hope to see your cards over at Sunday Stamps! 

Take Care!

Merry Christmas

Hello. Playing in the snow challenge over at Addicted to CAS today.

I used a stencil and Lisa Hortoncraft premium dye metallic pigment ink in silver to create the main snowy panel. I also embossed the snowflakes with silver embossing powder for additional dimension. The panel is popped up with a piece of fun foam. 

The Merry Christmas sentiment die is from Simon Says Stamp and cut out of silver cardstock.  I did back it with vellum that I added a bit of sparkle to with a wink of Stella pen. Lastly, I spritzed it with sparkle shimmer spray, which of course does not show up in the photo. 

Thanks for stopping by.

My Time to craft - stencils

Hello

Greetings! I'm playing in this week's Freshly Made Sketch challenge today.  

The background stamp is from Simon Says Stamp. I used Ranger watercolor paper and distress inks to watercolor the leaves.  The "hello" die is from CZ Designs from Simon Says Stamp. I also added some clear tiny dew drops from Honey Bee Stamps throughout the background for some added interest.

 

Thanks for stopping in.

Happy Anniversary

Hello. Playing in the Simon Says Stamp Romance/Wedding/Anniversary challenge today.  I made this clean and simple anniversary card using Sizzix dies from Tim Holtz.

I found a man and a woman among the layers from Idea-ology and popped them behind the yellow vellum to create that old-time look. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things. I also stacked up the main layer using foam tape for added dimension.

Hello and welcome to another challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  Here is what I made using the sketch or inspiration color prompt photo.

Today's sketch is by Melissa.  I used an old embossing folder from Stampin Up for the background. The flower stamps, dies and sentiment are all from My Favorite Things. The ink used is from Simon Says Stamp pawsitively saturated line.  I heat-embossed the sentiment on the vellum and then glued it on behind the black pearls.

You don't look a day over fabulolus

Hello everyone. Here is your mid-month reminder about the current challenge going on over at The Flower Challenge blog.

 

Here is another card that I created for the current challenge.

Here is another quarter of my stenciling session with the Altenew stamps and stencils. Simon Says Stamp inks are used here.  

Dragonfly die is again from Memory Box, I believe. I have so many dragonfly dies that it's hard to keep track. LOL.

Happy Birthday

Hello.  Playing in two challenges today. Let's start with the how I created my own background, which is the challenge over at Simon Says Stamp. I used #66 blue watercolor from Kuretake and dabbed it across some watercolor paper. Then I scrunched up some saran wrap, covered it and let it dry.  Next I added some splatters and some lines using a gift card, which was inked up with the unchartered mariner distress ink pad. 

Birthday sentiment was stamped with versamark and hero arts navy cardstock onto vellum then heat embossed with clear powder. I used detail does from Marker Forte to attach the vellum (highly recommend this stuff - super strong). The dragonfly is from Clearly Besotted and cut from black carstock. The outline is vellum that was colored with an ink pad (I think, it's been in my stash for a while). 

I used the sketch from The Paper Players below - which I modified slightly. 

Thanks for stopping by. 

LIM - recipe time

Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge over at Less Is More.

I heat embossed the flower onto Vellum and colored on the opposite side. The Vellum is the card base and I inserted a white card panel inside.  

Here is the cue card.

Hap Bee Birthday

Hello. Playing in the Double D challenge of Bee inspired today.

Dies, stamps and shaker bits are all from Queen and Company. Diagonal stripe background stamp is from The Stamp Market.

I used a stitched rectangle dies from MFT to cut out the panels to match the stitching on the bee. Isn't he super cute?

Thanks for stopping by.

Rustic Christmas

Hello. Playing in the CAS(e) this sketch #399 today. 

Pine cone/fir stamp is a big background stamp from Simon Says Stamp, that I colored with Copic's. I used a fishtail banner to cut part of it and saved the rest of it for later. I've had the plaid designer paper in my Christmas stash forever, so I thought it would be fun to use it on this and call it "rustic" since I used a lot of rustic products. 

The sentiment is from Hero Arts and I used the new rustic wilderness distress oxide ink and glaze on the vellum. I stuck tiny gold pearls in the corners to hide the glue.  Rustic white cardstock from PTI is used for the base. See the rustic theme, here? LOL

Thanks for stopping in.

Masculine note card

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is the use the following graphic.

I chose the bottom row across. I added glitter to my green embossing powder and embossed the trees onto vellum. Then I placed some glue behind the trees so that I could attach it to a white panel and not show through. In real life the trees really sparkle.

Holiday stenciling

Hi all. Playing along with the 30 day coloring challenge today. I'm behind a couple of days, I think. But here is my take on the challenge using stencils.

I used the newest stencil from Pretty Pink Posh and distress inks. I did break out my cosmetic brushes to color this. I ended up masking off the circles/berries and coming back and doing them after the leaves. I created the vellum band and heat embossed the season greetings using platinum embossing powder from Hero Arts. The sentiment is from Purple Onion Designs.

Tri-fold card

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is our designer choice. Esther wants us to try a new technique. I did a trifold card.

This is new for me, as I tend to shy away from fancy folds, but this one actually turned out pretty decent and was fun to do. I used vellum behind the leaf cover die.

Just because

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is the use the following graphic.

I chose to use Vellum, do a fun fold and add dew drops. I never attempt a fun fold because I'm not too good at it. But I ended up being pretty happy with this one.

TTT challenge

It’s time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week we were challenged to use the following Tic-Tac-Toe board to create your card.

Ok - I followed two rows on the TTT board. I started off with using dimension, vellum and a sympathy sentiment. The realized I also inadvertently used dies with piercing and added some gems to the card. So, a two for one! 

I stamped the leaves onto a piece of vellum and heat embossed it. The turned it over and added some distress oxide inks to it. Used some stick it adhesive to add it to a white cardstock panel and then popped it up using fun foam onto a white card base.
