Revisiting PCCSC#39 for another Card (Warning: Not all SU)


Hi Everyone,

It's a lovely warm day here today.  Makes for perfect weekend weather.  Washing is drying well on the line out in the Sunshine and we've had a friend here for lunch today.  Sat outside on the Patio getting some fresh air and rays.

You might remember a little over a week ago, we did the Paper Craft Crew Challenge with Sketch #39 for a Mother's day theme.  Well I said I would be using the sketch again.  I've recently been going through my ever growing stash of products, some from before my SU only days and I wanted to use this Pyramid stacker sheet, which I had planned to be for a class in one of the stores I taught at, but it never happened.  I finally cut it up and made a card, combining with some SU products namely card, Hodgepodge Hardward, retired certainly celery grosgrain ribbon, greeting stamp Well Scripted and our new butterfly from Papillon Potpourri stamp set with Bity butterfly punch. 


I'm bringing together a bit of old and new there, but sometimes that is the best thing to do.  If you want to keep up with all the new things going on in SU for your business, you must find a way to use up or incorporate the old stuff.  You may call it Spring cleaning in your neck of the woods, but here in Australia, its Autumn, so I can't use that excuse.  I suppose I'll say I'm just using some of my stash before new catty Pre-order starts here!!

Thanks for stopping by.  See you again soon and have a lovely weekend.

    This is nice Carolyn, I agree we need to declutter all that 'old stuff' to make room for new Stampin Up stuff LOL

    Oh boy I need help using up the "old" stuff! Some may even call it hoarding - It's amazing how far a 12 x 12 paper pad will go. But the new stuff is always so pretty. Thanks for the inspiration and sharing all your collection.

    Thanks Vicki, yes my husband thinks I'm a "hoarder". I have way too much stuff going back years and years that I collected in the store I used to work in, a lot put aside thinking I would get back to my scrapbooking. Unfortunately, I haven't scrapped in years.

PCCCSC174 - Merry Christmas

Image
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...

Just Add Ink 184 - Just Add Bows

Hi Everyone, How are we this Friday?  I'm good, been to the Dentist this morning for my regular check.  The good news is today was relatively painless, the bad news is I have to go back for some fillings.  Yuck! There's a great challenge at Just Add Ink this week brought to us by Trish to Just Add Bows.  The paper variety are so popular at the moment so that's what I'm making today. I've used my Extra Large oval punch with some of the gorgeous Winter Frost Designer Series Paper pack.  This is one of the foil sheets from the pack for my bow.  I've kept this card simple and elegant making a square card, so that it looks like a gift. Here is a closeup of that bow. I've used Bermuda Bay and Whisper White cardstock today with the Winter Frost paper pack.  I really like the colour combinations in these papers.  You can pack these cards quite quickly and they look so effective. Thanks for stopping by today to view my card.  P...
