Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #11

Hey everyone! How are we today? Hopefully all is well, it’s Wednesday so we are halfway there! Still gloomy here on Long Island, I think today is supposed to be the last of it! I can’t wait to see the sun again! 🙂

Today’s post is for this week’s Paper Craft Crew Challenge. This week we have a sketch for you…

I thought Holiday card at first and then I decided that since I have been having so much fun with Halloween I’d do one of those instead! The base of my card is Tangerine Tango Card Stock. I used a piece of Howlstooth & Scaringbone Designer Series Paper for the background. The band across the middle is made using the Etruscan Elegance Jumbo Stampin’ Around Wheel, unmounted and stamped in Basic Black on Very Vanilla. I used the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch with Tangerine Tango and cut it down the middle and adhered it to the back of the band with 2-Way Glue before adhering to the card with SNAIL. The stamped image is from the Toxic Treats Stamp Set and is stamped in Basic Black on Very Vanilla and cut out with the Labels Collection Framelits Dies. I put a piece of Tangerine Tango punched out with the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch and adhered that to some Basic Black that I cut out with the Delicate Doilies Large Sizzlit Die. They are all mounted to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is also from the Toxic Treats Stamp set, stamped in Basic Black and I flagged the ends with my Paper Snips before adhering that to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I really love the Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP and the Etruscan Wheel breaks up the pattern and coordinates great with the Toxic Treats Stamp Set. I hope that enjoyed this week’s Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge card. Click on over and see what the other talented ladies have come up with this week and post your own card.

Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge 10

Good morning! I hope that the weather is better by you than it is here, it rained most of the day yesterday and it’s still not great out this morning. I had a nice dinner with my friend Heather and her parents last night and then we listened to some music for a bit. I love my peeps!

Today’s post is for this weeks Paper Craft Crew Design Team Challenge. This week we have a sketch…

I was thinking Christmas when I first saw the sketch but since I’m loving Halloween this year I went with that instead. The base of my card is Basic Black Card Stock. I used the Chevron Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on a piece of Crumb Cake for the background. A thin strip of Howlstooth & Scaringbone Designer Series Paper is adhered across the upper half. A piece of Tangerine Tango is cut out with the Labels Collection Framelits Dies and pierced with the Festive Paper-Piercing Pack. The stamped images are from the Ghoulish Googlies Clear Mount Bundle.The bundle comes with the Stamp Set and the Designer Kit. I stamped the mummy in Crumb Cake and the bats in Basic Black and cut them out with my Paper Snips. They are all adhered to the label and card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used my Jewelry Tag Punch to punch out the Boo! from the Tiny Tags Clear Mount Stamp Set and also punched out a piece of Basic Black. They are attached to the card with a Neutrals Collection Brad. The greeting is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set and is stamped in Tangerine Tango and punched out with the Word Window Punch. It too is adhered to the card with Stampin Dimensionals. I love the Ghoulish Googlies Stamp Set, especially the little bats! I hope that you enjoyed this weeks Paper Craft Crew Design Team Challenge card.

Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge 9

Good morning! How are you all today? I’m good, lots of things to get accomplished this weekend. I’m glad that I like being busy! LOL! It rained here yesterday and looks a little gloomy this morning but I can’t complain, we have had really nice weather for a while. Is everyone ready for the fall?

Today’s post is for this week’s Paper Craft Crew Challenge. This week’s sketch is a nice clean and simple one…

I’ll be needing some birthday cards so that’s what I decided to make. The base of my card is Midnight Muse Card Stock. I took a piece of Crumb Cake and used my Color Spritzer and a Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write Marker to spritz a little “sand”. The greeting is from the Bring On the Cake Stamp Set and is stamped in Midnight Muse. The panel is adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the shells from the By the Seashore Stamp Set in Midnight Muse and Soft Suede and used my Paper Snips to cut them out. Some more Stampin’ Dimensionals adhere them to the card and it’s finished! Super clean and simple, not to mention quick and easy. I love the simplicity of the card, it will make a great masculine birthday card. It would also make a great workshop card. I hope that you like this weeks Paper Craft Crew Challenge card. Head on over and post your card for this weeks challenge. It’s the perfect one to get your feet wet with if you have never participated in a challenge before! I look forward to seeing what you create! Thank you for visiting today. Have a great day!

Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #8

Happy Sunday! I had a great time at the wedding yesterday with all of my family. The ceremony went very well, I was only a little nervous for the first sentence and after that I was fine. My brother and his new bride told me that I did a very good job. I’m looking forward to officiating another ceremony! They call me Justin-of-the Peace! LOL!

Today’s post is for this week’s Paper Craft Crew Challenge. This week we have a sketch…

I wanted to use some In-Colors so this is what I came up with. The base of my card is Crumb Cake Card Stock. I used the Color Spritzer Tool and a Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write Marker to spritz some color on the front. A piece of Orchard Harvest Designer Series Paper is on the bottom half of the card. I used the Finishing Touches Edgelits Dies to cut the top of a piece of Raspberry Ripple and adhered that along the top edge of the DSP. A strip of Very Vanilla is stamped with the Measuring Stick Stampin’ Around Wheel Stamp in Summer Starfruit and adhered on top of the DSP and pinked pieces to hide the seam. The greeting image is from the Friendship Preserves Stamp Set and is stamped in Raspberry Ripple and again in Summer Starfruit. I cut them both out with the Window Frames Collection Framelits Dies. With the Summer Starfruit one I cut off the top and bottom pieces and adhered them to the Raspberry Ripple one with Stampin’ Dimensionals and then adhered them to the card. I love the pop of the Raspberry Ripple against the neutrals of the Summer Starfruit and Crumb Cake. I hope you enjoyed my design team card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenege.

Paper Craft Crew #7 Sketch Challenge

Hello all and a good Saturday morning to you. I had a very nice day with my cousin yesterday. We went shopping and had some Sonic for lunch. I got one of the balance ball chairs for my craft desk. I see a problem with it all ready though, it’s very bouncy and unknowingly I am bouncing on it all the time!

Today’s post is for this week’s Paper Craft Crew Challenge. I mentioned last week that I was asked to be on the design team and this week is my first week participating as a designer! Thanks again to Pam for asking me to be a member. I’m so happy and can’t wait for the blog relaunch at the end of October. In the mean time why not head on over and post your card in this week’s challenge?! This week we have a sketch challenge…

I had a lot of different ideas as to what I was going to do but after I settled in the rosette the rest of the card just fell into place. The base of the card is Island Indigo Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Crumb Cake with the Argyle Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for the background. A piece of Very Vanilla I stamped with the Travel Journal Builder Wheel in Crumb Cake, the gears from the Clockworks Stamp Set in Basic Gray and the greeting from the Word Play Stamp Set stamped in Island Indigo creates the piece on the right. A piece of Island Indigo 3/8″ Ruffled Ribbon and a Round Designer Ribbon Slide is placed just below the middle of the card and adhered around the back with some Sticky Strip before it is attached to the card. Two pieces of Island Indigo are flagged and attached to the upper left corner. The rosette is made with Fan Fair Designer Series Paper and my Simply Scored Scoring Tool. I stamped the pocket watch in Basic Gray and Island Indigo and then cut it out with my Paper Snips. The rosette and watch are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Island Indigo and Crumb Cake are one of my favorite color combinations and I love the Clockworks Stamp Set. I hope that you enjoyed my first card for the Paper Craft Crew as a design team member and that you will join this week’s challenge. I can’t wait to see what you do with the sketch! Thank you, as always, for stopping by and have a creative day! 🙂

Paper Craft Crew Sketch 6

A good Sunday morning to you all. I had a nice crafty Saturday and today with be laundry and clean the house day. I’m thinking that I will have liked Saturday better than Sunday this weekend! Today’s post is for this week’s Paper Craft Crew. The blog is in the the process of being revamped and they will have a launch at the end of October. I also have some really exciting news. The owner of the blog, Pam, has asked me to be a member of the design team! Well, I can tell you that I was a little happy to hear that! For my first week playing we have a sketch challenge…

A nice simple layout and I decided to mix some old with some new. The base of my card is Midnight Muse Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Soft Suede with the Chevron Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for the background. A piece of Comfort Café Designer Series Paper is mounted to a piece of Pool Party and adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals for the next layer. I used the Border Banter Stamp Set, stamped in Midnight Muse and Summer Starfruit, and some Very Vanilla to crete the flags. A piece of Summer Starfruit cut out with the Delicate Doilies Large Sizzlits die is the placed behind the images from the Artistic Etching Stamp Set. They are stamped in Midnight Muse and Summer Starfruit. The large lacy circle is cut out with the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch and the crown and amour are cut out with my Paper Snips. They are all mounted to the card with Stampin Dimensionals. I like the mix of the softness of the Comfort Café DSP with the graphic nature of the Border Banter. I hope that you enjoyed this week’s Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge card. Don’t forget to head on over to the blog and see what all of the other talented designers are up to. While you’re at it enter your creation in this weeks challenge! Thank you for visiting with me and have an awesome day! 🙂
