Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch Challenge 163

Hi Everyone,

Its another Wednesday and that means is a new Paper Craft Crew challenge this week.

Here is this week's challenge.



This one opens up so many possibilities.  We can't wait to see what you create.  You may choose to follow any line, so long as you do three in a row.

Here's what I chose to do using the top row across "Any purple, Happy Birthday, Butterfly".  I made this easel card using Blackberry Bliss, Perfect Plum and Whisper White.




The base of my card starts as a square and is 14 x 14 cm when folded.  The front is folded in half again, and the bottom pic will give you a better idea of how it sits when propped up agains the Happy Birthday greeting from the Butterfly basics stamp set.  That becomes the anchor of the easel, as it has been mat with Blackberry Bliss card and placed on dimentionals.

Here is a closeup of my layered butterfly which has been mat onto layered Deco Label framelits die cuts used as a topper for my easel card.  The Butterfly thinlits (largest die) was used at the back cut from Blackberry bliss card, then my solid middle butterfly was created with the Watercolor Wings stamp set, stamped in Blackberry Bliss, Perfect Plum and Orchid Opulence (retired), then both this layer and the top one were cut out using the Bold butterfly framelits, adhered together and finished with Basic Rhinestones on the body.

I've also taken a photo of the inside of the card for reference should you be trying to make one.




Thanks so much for stopping by.  We look forward to you joining us at the Paper Craft Crew this week.

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

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
