Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch Challenge #195 - Fall Flowers Cards


Hello Everyone,


Welcome to the Wednesday Card Sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here is this week's sketch.




I have a craft fair this weekend and decided this would be an ideal opportunity to make a few cards with older stock to sell and in turn then have some additional funds to put towards my own upcoming new catalogue purchases.

Here they are using cardstock of Soft Sky and Sahara sand for both cards and a small piece of Whisper White stamped with one of the images from Six Sided Sampler stamp set and punched with soon to be retired Hexagon punch.  The paper is from a very old Designer pack called Fall Flowers and I've added a Dragon fly to the design, stamped with the set called Awesomely Artistic.  Greetings are from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  Below is the first one.




Sahara Sand lace and basic rhinestones were added to the card and I've used the Scallop border punch on the Sahara sand panel on the bottom edge.  Here's a closer look.




and I made a second similar one while I was a it.  I went with the square base in Sahara sand this time and used lace on the bottom edge.

Here's a pic of both of them side by side.




Thanks so much for stopping by today.  We hope you will join us at the Paper Craft Crew.   Have a great 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

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
