Create with Connie and Mary Challenge 275 - A Washi Tape Thank you card.


Hello Everyone,

I know in the US at the moment, it's the Season of Thanksgiving and some of my friends have been listing all the things they are thankful for at the moment.  We don't do that in Australia, but taking a leaf out of my US friends book, I want to say a BIG Thank You to my friends, for their support, advice and often not doing anything at all except listening.  I have some really great friends, so thanks.  You know who you are.

Here is the sketch for this week's Create with Connie and Mary challenge



CCMC275

I'm in need of a Thank you card this week, so decided this would be a great layout to use for it and play along with this challenge.   I've made some banners out of the Gingham Garden Washi tape for my card here.


 I stuck the Washi onto some Whisper White card then cut them out with the Bitty Banners Framelits.  I've also changed the orientation of this card to Landscape rather than the portrait sketch and used the Pretty Prints embossing folder on my white background over a base card of Primrose Petals.  One of my signature butterflies (which I love) from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set embellishes the card.  Have another look at that butterfly.

Thanks very much for stopping by.  Have a fantastic 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

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
