WCC - Sketch Challenge

 

Hello friends!!

Today the team is doing a sketch challenge, my favourite!!

This sketch lends itself well to using up some dsp. 

My first card is all about the Saleabration Freebies!

Spend $75 and choose any one of these items

Fresh Freesia Seam Binding Ribbon

Purple Adhesive backed Sequins and

Bloom impressions designer series paper

3 of my FAVOURITES!!

I stayed pretty true to the sketch on this one.

For the next card I used the Floral Delight designer series paper. I just love the bright cherry yellow!

I cut the strips the same size 1.25 x 3”

I turned the card to ‘portrait’ and used the mixed florals bundle. An online exclusive coloured with Stampin blends markers.  It is also a favourite!!

I hope you enjoyed my cards today!  And please keep hopping to see what the rest of the team did with this sketch!

AWOW - This of That

 

Today we are hopping around the world with my friends! Yesterday the new Jan- catalogue went live and it’s time for SALEABRATION!!! So my question today is which new product do you love more??

THIS OR THAT??

I thought about sharing 2 very different products.  But the truth is I’m kinda obsessed with the Mixed Florals bundle.  I wasn’t getting it…but my buddy Emma over at Coastal Crafters completely made it a MUST HAVE.  Well I can’t stop playing with it.  

So my this or that is times 2…but with the same bundle.  Allow me to explain  

I coloured with Blends (alcohol markers) Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green and Balmy Blue. 

I embossed the 4 1/8 x 5 3/8” white cardstock with a Saleabration Freebie. You can get it FREE with a $75 purchase.  It’s called the Starstruck Embossing Folder. But I think it looks like daisies. I also put a die from the set to add a little foliage. 

For my “that” card. I stamped on the 4 1/8 x 5 3/8” white cardstock.  

Which background do you like better?

Both cards were finished with a white heat embossed sentiment on black. Another current obsession. Along with linen thread. The sentiment is from the Mixed Labels stamp set. 

Now the x 2 part of my this or that is the colouring.

Do we prefer yellow tulips or red??

I hope you enjoyed todays ‘cards’ and 

I hope you comment below to let me know what you liked better.

Please keep hopping to see what my friends have made 

 I know I am looking forward to all the inspiration!!

Happy Hopping!!

Stamping Inkspirations - Sounds of the Season

 

Sounds of the Season; a favourite theme for our wonderful leader.  Can I let you in on a little secret...this is my least favourite theme..so much so that I have skipped it in previous years..

I am just not a Christmas carol loving person.  You will not hear me playing them in the car, or while decorating at home.  That said I will play them at Christmas card classes and maybe even singing softly to a few that I can stand.  I have always liked a couple.  Particularly the one that has the snowman in the mea meadow, walking in a Winter Wonderland.  I also love a good snowfall when its not too cold and its light and has the big fluffy snowflakes.  If you are new here, I LOVE Snowflakes!!

So here is my big fluffy white, with a hint of gold embossing snowflakes.

                                 

Maybe I should have embossed the background with trees to simulate walking in the woods.  But as the song goes, we are walking in a meadow.  I hope you like my card!

Please hop along and check out what others have to share.

See you soon!

AWOW New to me Technique

 

Hello friends!! Today we are playing with techniques!

So I chose a sketch and did it 3 ways playing with the background.

This is a techinique that you can get a bunch of cards made quickly or a way to make a few cards that look very different but you don't have to think so hard because you are using the same layout.

The first card is a solid piece of dsp cut 3 x 4", then I added the circle the gorgeous birs and embellishments.

Next I took that same 3 x 4" piece of dsp and cut it into 3" strips, added the same circle and embellishments.  Then added a penguin to go with the dsp.

For my last card I chose to use cardstock, I stamped snowflakes all over it using the technique of using the same ink and cardstock.  Petal Pink went beautifully with this snowman.  I cut it into 1" strips then blended all the edges.  For my embellishments I went with sparkly ribbon, added a few snowflakes from the One of a Kind bundle and there you have it.

3 cards with the same basic layout using the technique of changing up the background.

I hope you like my cards and you keep hopping to see all the gorgeous techniques the other friends from around the world are using.
