Challenge #9

Challenge #9, if you choose to participate, is to make a card from pieces stamped from Z3719 Make a Splash Stamp + Thin Cuts.  Here are the cards I made...

In this first card I colored the boots before I thought about how I was going to use them... I had a time finding paper to match!  So... some paper from my scrap bin!

In the second card, I used a stencil of clouds, and a die I had of a sun.  The phrase is from the stamp set.  I tried the idea of coloring around the die, and colored the inside of the boquet as well.

Can't wait to see what you do with yours!

Happy stamping!

Challenge #8

Challenge #8, if you choose to accept it, is to construct at least one card from the pieces you will receive that are stamped from D1925 A Million Little Things.

Here is the card I made...

I did not design this card... I copied it from Chris Franco, CTMH Consultant, at www.stampedblessings.com.

I colored the flowers using the light yellow and citrus blend tri-blend markers, as well as the dull green tri-blend marker.  The dots are in toffee ink, and it is matted on a kraft card base.  I think the flowers are coneflowers (echinacia) which come in a variety of colors.

Happy stamping!!

Layout and Challenge #7

The challenge for this week is to make a card from the items you are receiving in the mail... these are stamped pieces from the Stitched Together cardmaking workshop.  You also have a strip of the Stitched Together paper, and a piece of cardstack that coordinates with it.  Here is the card I made...

I used a white gel pen and a ruler to draw in the stitched background... I colored the thread spool with the Coral Blend  and Ice Blend tricolor markers.  Also colored the spool with the clear glitter brush.  I embellished with white dots from the black and white dots pack.

I thought the thread stuck out to far for what I wanted, so I cut it and placed it more under the spool... where the paper crunched is hidden by the needle.  (It is all taped on the back side to hold it together!). 

Here is the June layout...

Supplies:
B&T paper - Stitched Together
Cardstock - Sapphire, Mint, Peach, Sweet Leaf, White Daisy
Pattern is the Scrapbooking Creative Insider provided by CTMH

In your packet you will also have "dream" cut from sapphire, and some of the pieces from the Stitched Together Cardmaking workshop stamp set.  This layout is pretty busy, so embellish lightly according to how you intend to use it!

Happy stamping!!

Challenge #5, May 27, 2020

Challenge #5, if you choose to accept, is to create a card from items I mailed to you today.  You will receive pieces to make the card I made below, with a few extra pieces.  You can recreate my card, or come up with something new and different!!  It is okay to use other items as long as you use at least one of the items I sent you!

Supplies:
B&T paper - Aurora
Cardstock - Sapphire, Sage, White daisy
Stamps - Aurora Cardmaking - Thin cuts
Ink - Sapphire

In my version, both the trailer image and the sentiment are raised.

You also will receive another sentiment (in black) and another image (in charcoal gray) in case you want to make another card with different colors.  

The extra piece of cardstock/B&T paper is just cause I needed something more to stabilize the package!

Not my most creative effort, but they can't all use the quilt embossing folder!

Happy stamping!

Challenge #4 and New Scrapbook Layout...

Challenge #4... to create at least one card using the embossed cardstock sheets you received using the new quilt embossing folder! Here are the cards I made with mine...

Here is the new scrapbook layout... if you are interested and want me to cut it for you, let me know!

Supplies:
B&T paper - Aurora Paper
Cardstock - Peacock, Sapphire, White Daisy, Sage
Stamps - D1922 Aurora -- Scrapbooking Stamp Set + Thin Cuts
Ink - Charcoal, Peacock, Sage
Other - I embellished with sequins from the Loose Sequins - Silver

Spoiler alert!  I did not design this layout... this is the Creative Insider layout provided by CTMH for the Aurora paper packet.  I did add the journaling card on the second page.

NOTE!  The stamping on the left side is dependent on the photo layout... if you plan to use a different photo layout, let me know and I can stamp a line of trees of a piece of  white cardstock that you can trim around and place wherever.

Happy Stamping!!

Challenge for May 18, 2020

Hello!

Challenge #3, if you choose to accept, is to make at least 1 card from the images I am sending you. You may share it here, by email, on facebook, or during our Monday night Zoom session.

At the top is the card I made... it is from the National Scrapbooking Day Cardmaking Kit, CC7211 Through Thick & Thin... the red paper is shiny with a pattern... like we used to have in the old Fundamentals?  I also framed the white piece with honey rather than saffron... my choice!  In my card the extra bottle of hand sanitizer is fussy cut out and raised above the middle bottle for dimension.

 The items below it are what you will receive in your card. I went ahead and stamped the liquid in your bottles... it is second-generation lagoon.

Have fun!!  Happy stamping!!
