Hey there! I’m back with a great new sketch for you that is up on the Tuesday Morning Sketches blog now! I hope you will play along with us!
I didn’t go too fancy with this sketch. I had been working on a card kit that I got at a recent crop so I used up some extra bits that I had for it.
I also used some dies in my collection to do the different layers and the snowman stamp is one that I picked up at a thrift store and just love!
I hope you like this week’s card. Thanks for stopping by and don’t forget to give the rest of the DT some much deserved love for their creations this week!
Oh my gosh! I just love this week’s sketch up on the blog!
It really is perfect if you have just a few pieces of that favorite paper left and you can’t quite throw it out yet!
Look what I created using the Deck the Palms collection from CTMH!
Hard to believe this is a Christmas line right?! All I used was some bits of paper and the sticker sheet. The stamp is from my stash as are the oval dies. I think this is one of my new favorite sketches! It takes like no time at all to knock these cards out. If you need something quick, this is it!
Thanks for stopping by and go check out the Tuesday Morning Sketches blog to see what the DT has created for you! Amazing projects!
I’m gonna be honest, it’s been awhile since I’ve used Washi for anything so I was pretty happy for this challenge.
I finally cracked open this strawberry stamp set that I got from Lawn Fawn along with the Lawn Fawn Basket die. I also added some of their dot paper to go with my dotted washi border. I just did some basic coloring with my copics and I added some leaves from another die set I had.
This is a super easy challenge and I’m sure you have some washi that is in a drawer in your stash….bust it open, go for one that you’ve not used yet – plan your card around it….it’s a fun challenge to give yourself!
I’ll be stopping by your blog to see what fun you have come up with!
Hello all! I’m here with your mid challenge reminder for our Christmas Craft Creations August challenge.
Here’s this month’s theme!
Now winter activities could be anything, skiing, skating, ice fishing, decorating a tree…..but what about Reindeer Games! 🙂
I had this really cute stamp set that I got for an online card class (which surprise, surprise, I’ve not done yet, and it was from last November!), and it’s from Close To My Heart. I thought it would be really fun to do a bit of a different take on the theme. I stamped out the stamp and sentiment using inks from my Tim Holtz Distress inks and some stampin up as well. The DP is from my stash and I die cut a couple of ovals to set off that image a little bit. I added a few iridescent crystals to finish it off.
Head on over to the blog to play along and win this month’s prize. (Just remember you need to include out monthly theme image as well as a link back to the blog to be entered to win).
Well, anyone with kids knows that we are in the last days of summer and the kids go back to school in about 2 weeks. Maybe yours are already. My son hits grade 8 this year and he goes back on the 6th. Needless to say, he is less than thrilled.
Speaking of back to school, guess what our theme is for the next 2 weeks at Make the Cards Challenge....yep School or Teacher!
I decided to go with a slimline for my card, just because I hadn’t done one in awhile and I thought it would be great for these little gnomes!
Surprisingly, I didn’t really have any back to school stamps or papers that I could find. However I did find this apple paper which was the back side of the paper I used for my last project. It was perfect. Then I just went online and found these little gnomes and I thought it was great that they were all holding apples too! Perfect. I printed out a sentiment and I created the holes and the border using my Studio Katia slimline die set that I have.
I’m going to give it to my son on his first day back to school. I don’t think he will appreciate it as much as I do…LOL
Stop by the blog to play along with us and to see what the rest of the DT has created…there are some amazing projects there, and we can’t wait to see what you create!
Oh boy! These days of summer are fading fast everyone. Soon it is going to be fall and my son will be going back to school. He’s less than thrilled, let me tell you!
This has a fun prompt for the background doesn’t it?
I’m sure a lot of you may feel the urge to do embossing for that background, or maybe a background die of some sort? I went for some stenciling. Using the Joseph’s Coat technique I created this fun background with a Stampin Up leafy stencil. I was trying to use some fall-ish colors for this card.
The sentiment is from Craft Addicts Too and I just got it in last week. The sequins are from my stash as is the ribbon.
Head on over to our blog to play along in this week’s sketch. While you are there, check out the amazing projects from the rest of the DT.
This is the last little bit from my SCT sampler! I used one of the die cuts included with the sampler and then I added a sentiment from one of dies in my stash. Some black Nuevo drops and we are good to go.
Be sure to stop by the blog and see the great creations from the rest of the DT.
So, as you know I’m a fan of card classes. I’ve taken a lot, some I’ve finished, some I’m still working on.
I recently signed up for the Spring Card Camp 2022 hosted by Kristina Werner and Jennifer McGuire as part of their Online Card Class Series. I really enjoyed this class and I learned a lot of techniques. There are a ton of classes on their website, something sure to tickle everyone’s fancy. I have a few more in mind once I get this one done and the cardstock one that I signed up for!
The class has since finished and I’m only on the third one, but that’s the great thing about it being online, one can go at their own pace as time allows.
So our first lesson was about Ink Lifting. A simple technique that has a lot of punch and one that I don’t do near enough (all of these classes really take your cards to the next level). We used stencils, heat embossing, distress inks and then some fun embellishing.
Here are the some cards I created for this class!
So for this one, I used a stencil from Vicki Boutin and some distress inks in some oranges and pinks. The butterflies and sentiment strip are from Brutus Monroe (which I got in a different online card class with SCT). I thought it would be fun to dip them in some gold embossing powder, which I’ve not done in forever!
The happy is from Stampin Up as well and I die cut it in white and then glued it to some vellum and cut it out. I added a few gold Nuevo Drops as well. I really like how this turned out.
This is the other card I created with the challenge! I love the colors in this one. I used a stampin up stencil for the background. The Yippee is a die from my stash as is the sentiment strip, which was stamped, embossed and then die cut out. I punched out some leaves in some teal glitter paper to set it off and added a few pink enamel dots.
That’s week 1. Very fun and some great techniques that just add a lot of visual interest in my cards I think. Stay tuned for more cards as I progress through this class!
This is the lovely sketch that is up on the Tuesday Morning Sketches blog today for your inspiration and enjoyment! The DT has some great projects for you to see.
Here’s mine for you!
I had some CTMH paper hanging out in my box so I used that for todays creation. I added a Paper Hugs die that is in my stash and voila! This sketch is really great if you need to make a quick card!
Thanks for stopping by and don’t forget to hit the blog and leave some love for the rest of the DT!
I hope you had a lovely Easter holiday! Sadly on my end, although I was happy to head to my farm in Saskatchewan, we arrived back yesterday and realized that we all have Covid. It is not a fun time in this house! 😦
I had this Lawn Fawn cupcake die set that I had never used, and to be honest, I don’t know where I got it from. I did want to use it tough and so I paired it with some fun papers from my stash as well as a fun birthday sentiment. Of course, enamel dots right!
Be sure to head over to the blog to see what fun the rest of the DT has created for you and we hope that you will play along with our challenge this week.
