Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #49

Hello Everyone,

How are you this Wednesday?  It has been a little cold here.  After all it is Winter here in Australia.  Wednesday means it's time once again for another sketch challenge at The Paper Craft Crew.

This week as, it's July, we traditionally kick off our Christmas card making here to build our stash for December.  Here is the card I've made this week based on the sketch below.



With the lack of new products available for Christmas as yet, and changes to the Catalogue schedule, I've used products from the Christmas carryover flyer for my card, as well as the new Mosaic Embossing Folder for my background.  The cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green, Whisper White and Glimmer paper.


I've used the Ornament Keepsakes stamps and matching framelits, along with Snowflake Soiree and That's the Ticket stamps and matching Ticket punch for todays card.  I've also used the bity Ornament punch (from the set of three) punched from the Glimmer.  My snowflakes on the background were stamped with Whisper White Craft Ink and the Silver string was drawn with the Silver Dazzle pen.  Have a closer look at my card laying down.  The Ornaments were raised with Dimentionals.






I'm really proud to be included as part of the talented Design Team and I love the sketch Pam has given us to play with this week.  If you are visiting, thank you so much for reading my blog, viewing my card and for your comments.  Nice to know you called by.  Would love for you to join in the challenge this week with a card of your own.  So come on over to the Paper Craft Crew and join in the fun.

    My fav. Christmas colours, red and green. Wonderful. The little ornaments in the corner are really cute and work well with the bigger ornaments. Vx

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

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
