Paper Craft Crew #25


Hello Everyone,


Well it's sunny and hot here in Queensland, Australia for my second post as part of the Paper Craft Crew Design Team.  I hope it's not too cold for you where you are at the moment.

My pre-order of goodies arrived during the week and I was able to have a play with the Hearts a Flutter Bundle available from the Seasonal catalogue (in Australia from February 1st), plus a few other new goodies.  This week we have a colour challenge along with the sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.

Here are the details of the challenge.  I've used the sketch and the Colours for my Card.





Color Challenge #3
Color Challenge Blogs

videogram cover imageThe colours for the challenge are Basic Gray, Melon Mambo and Old Olive.  Here is the card I've made and as you can see, I altered the sketch slightly to make a square card.  I've used the Hearts a Flutter Bundle which includes stamps and Framelits and I've also used stamp set Thats the Ticket with the co-ordinating punch from the Annual Catalogue and teamed it with a new Build a Brad.  Alternate corners of my squares are rounded off and I've used the Fancy Fan Embossing Folder and also  the Dotted Ribbon Border punch.  If you have a look below, I've used the sketch again without the challenge with some Sale-a-bration product for a workshop sample.

Here is a second card I've made just with the sketch.


 This card has an Island Indigo base with cardstock of Summer Starfruit and Pool Party.  I've used the Bitty Butterfly Punch and the Itty Bitty Banners, Sycamore Street Designer Papers and co-ordinating ribbon.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Why don't you pop over to the Paper Craft Crew and view the other samples made by the Design Team.  We hope you can join us in the challenge this week.

      Thanks Vicki, the colour challenge wasn't my choice however I like how it turned out. I like the fresh colours of the SAB card.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Image
Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge as I d

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Image
Hi Everyone, I thought this weeks Just Add Ink challenge - "Just Add Blokes" was a great opportunity to get in and make a Male card .  For those of you outside Australia, "Blokes" is another name for Men. Today I'm using Mosaic Madness bundle set teamed with a greeting from Loving Thoughts stamp set.  I don't understand why, but the simplest cards seem to take me the longest.  I agonise over them, and yet I can make something much more involved quicker, when I have a clear vision in mind. I've taken the colours for this card from the colour challenge this week for Create with Connie and Mary so this card is doing double duty for both challenges. Here we are The cardstock is Berrmuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White and Smoky Slate per the colour challenge.  Here is a closer look at the Mosaics.  The Bermunda bay one is raised on dimentionals. This picture below gives you a closer look at the greeting. Thanks so much for stop
