PP189 For You In Colors!

Since joining the challenges a few months ago,  I have been waiting for one of these Tic-Tac-Toe challenges because they always look fun and you get such fun projects from them.  Other than the shaped card, I was excited because I thought they were all so easy.  But the I thought I play for the challenge so went the last row vertically down-twine,shaped card, blue...love the results!

I decided to make a card with a base cut with the scallop square die.  It makes a fun and cute size card!  I have been wanting to use this pattern from the Watercolor Wonder DSP and like the way this all turned out.  I sponged Island Indigo first on butterfly stamp and then some Gumball green ink to give it a unique color of blueish green.  You can see a little inside in second photo, I stamped the butterfly again but without cleaning so it is a second stamp making it lighter.  Using this card in my card class next week!

Hope your day is fun-filled and thanks for stopping by!

Easy Fold Window Card

This is another special fold card we did at stamp club this past week. I borrowed this from fellow demo Dawn Olchefske from dostamping.typepad.com 

You make the base (in white here) and then attach to a card panel (in Crisp cantaloupe here).

I used a 2 1/2' circle punch to make window.

I hope your Sunday is lovely and thanks for stopping by!

Scallop Top Tag Punch Fold Card

  

This is a special fold card/album we made this week at stamp club.  I got this idea from demo Julie Warnick.  She made it an album with photos inside.  It stands up like this so it is a great way for the recipient to display the photos in small space. It can also be a card like above. 

Hope your Saturday is a blast and thanks for stopping by!

FMS129 Happy Birthday in Color!

Great Sketch this week.  I like how it turned out but it is not as i had envisioned it. Sometimes that happens!  It was a fast card to make.  I keep trying to emboss that strip of green but nothing looked right so left it alone finally!

I hope you enjoy your Friday and thanks for stopping by!

PPA197 A Floral Thank You!

I was excited when saw this sketch challenge because I wanted to use this DSP for a card for my upcoming April card class. This fit right in and I love my new scallop emboss folder. I think this card looks better in person.  The colors stand out much more vividly. 

I hope your Thursday is lovely and thanks for stopping by!

PP188 Hello Sailor!

Fun sketch from The Paper Players this week!  I thought of my new set, Hello, Sailor and made it work.  The DSP here is busy but makes for a colorful back drop!  I just went on a cruise this past week so still in a nautical mind set!
