And how is your week going? We are at the halfway point and mine is going well. Yesterday I had a pretty busy day, just the way that I like them! I FaceTimed with Andrea in the morning and then had a little lunch with my parents. Around 1:30 I stopped at A. C. Moore, I had a $10 rewards certificate that I just had to get rid of! I bought another bead storage container for sequins and other embellies, it’s the one with the bigger compartments this time. From there I stopped and got some gas and then headed over to Scrap-A-Latte to visit Renee for a little while. We had a nice chat and she shared some of her home-made peach strudel with me. After that I headed over to Deer Park to pick up Bill. He had to drop off Anthony’s van to be fixed, there is a problem with the wheelchair ramp. I drove Bill back to Anthony’s and visited with them for a bit before heading over to Heather’s. We went and had dinner at Applebee’s and then stopped at Lowes so I could get some hardware to hang her new chandelier. After that was finished we watched a little TV and had a laughing fit that lasted about 20 minutes! They are the best aren’t they?! I got home around 12:30 and that was my day!
Today I have my Design Team card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge…
My card starts with a base of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. Across the lower half is a piece of Copper Glitter Tape. The two panels are pieces of paper from the Heidi Swapp Dreamy 6×6 Paper Pad. I used the Lawn Fawn 4Bar Stitched Rectangles to cut them out. A piece of Blushing Bride that is cut with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Scalloped Borders Lawn Cuts is adhered to the left side of the smaller panel and they are both adhered to the card with Fun Foam and E-Z Runner. My circle is cut from a piece of “Vintage” Summer Starfruit with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Circles Lawn Cuts. I heat embossed my greeting from the Hero Arts Many Everyday Messages Photopolymer Stamp Set in Ranger Copper Embossing Powder onto a piece of Balck 110lb. It’s adhered to the card with Foam Tape. The fun flower is a Wooden Embellishment from Recollections. I coated the front in Versa-Mark and heat embossed it with more of the Copper Powder, it’s adhered with Multi-Matte Medium along with a few Pretty Pink Posh Bronze and Onyx Sequins. I love the copper with fun muted brights on the paper and the sparkle of the glitter tape is a nice added touch! I hope that you like my Design Team card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge!

Good Morning Justin!
It seems I learn something new from you every day! I did not know that you could emboss on wooden embellishments. I can’t wait to try that especially since I have a bunch of Christmas ornaments a friend cut with a special saw. They are very intricate and beautiful but need a bit of color and glitz. Now I know what to do with them. Thanks and by the way, you did a great job with this challenge.
I don’t know where the days are going. They seem to go by in the blink of an eye. That is why I am always amazed at how much you manage to cram into a single day. Makes me tired just reading about it. LOL You have yourself a Wicked Good Wednesday. Luv and hugs to you my friend, XXOO 🙂
Hello There Grace!
I’m so glad that after all of this time I can still show you new things! I love embossing on wooden embellishments! I’m sure that your Christmas ornaments will look great embossed! So happy that you like the card!
I agree with you! Time just flies by! I love to have a nice busy day, especially a well organized one! I hope that you enjoy your Wednesday too! Love and hugs back at ya! XOXO 🙂
Your card is such a fun card today, Justin. I love the DSP, the embossing using copper EP, and the stitched dies. Have another great day!
Thank you HJ! It’s a fun little mix of goodies! Hope that your day was great! 🙂
Hi Justin, I love the colours on this card, so pretty! It reminds me of summer and ice cream 😉 Wow, you did pack loads into your day, glad you managed to squeeze in a laughing fit – I agree they ARE the best! Thursday morning here, another week almost gone – have a great day Justin 😀 xox
Hello Kelly!
Thank you! Yes, definitely summer and ice cream! I like a nice packed day and the laughing fit was the best! Hope you are having a nice week! XOXO 🙂
this is awsome! The copper wth the pastel colors is so rich, makes this card. I never thought of embossing on wood, a great way to use some left over items. Take care
Thanks very much Linda! Love embossing the wood embellishments and I do love that copper color! Hope you had a nice day! 🙂
