Paper Craft Crew Sketch 52

Hello from Downunder,

How have you been this week?  The weather today is fine where I am and extremely mild for Winter.  Today is Wednesday and that means it's time for another sketch for you to play along with at the Paper Craft Crew.

Pam has provided us with this wonderful sketch today here


Would you like to see what I've made with it today?   I have Christmas on the brain at the moment, as July is normally when I start making Christmas Cards.  I've used Mosaic Madness set for my card with the matching Mosaic Embossing folder and some of the Festival of Prints dsp for the banners, plus the Tiny ornament punch to punch a few Glimmer ornaments.  Why did I use these products, you may be thinking?  Well, our preorder from the Holiday Catalogue with all the lovely new products starts in August in Australia, so I just don't have access to them yet.

The Merry Christmas is from the set Petite Pairs which I've also mat onto some of the Glimmer paper which sits on the Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine.  Pretty cool, don't you think?  I've stuck with traditional colours for this card.  The base is Crumb Cake and the embossed layer is Cherry Cobbler and the inks used are Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler.


We would love for you to join in our challenge so why don't you head on over to the Paper Craft Crew and see what our talented design team have made for you.


Thanks so much for calling in to see what I've made.  I hope you have a lovely day.

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

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
