Carolyn's Card Creations

Hi Everyone, Welcome to Wednesday's card sketch challenge this week at the Paper Craft Crew .  This is a really versatile sketch and we hope you will join us.     Here's my card using some Stampin Up card and patterned papers combined with an image from Kraftin' Kimmie stamps.  I haven't used this one before, but I made it as a Birthday card for my brother in law.  He and my sister went to a Burlesque show recently and this lady reminded me of that. The cardstock is Basic Black, Real Red, Whisper White and Pool Party.  Paper is from the Back to Black pack from last catalogue.  The image was coloured with my Copic markers and I used my Wink of Stella over parts of the image. Can you see the sheen on her eyeshadow and feathers? Greeting is from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set. We hope you will join us for this sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Can't wait to see your creations.  Have a great day.

Hi Everyone, This was a card made for my catalogue launch a few weeks ago to show some of the new In Colours which I combined with Affectionately Yours designer papers. The stamps are Thoughtful Banners and Flower Patch with matching framelits and Banner punch.   The cardstock is Flirty Flamingo, Emerald Envy and Whisper White.  The White background was embossed with the Lovely Lace embossing folder. This was simple but effective card and used the new colour inks Flirty Flamingo and Emerald Envy as well.  Flower was stamped 3 times with the top 2 layers fussy cut and finished with a Metal rimmed pearl. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day.

Hi Everyone, Welcome to our challenge this week at Stamp Ink Paper .  It was my turn to choose and I chose the Black and White colour theme.  I love Black and White, a classic combination that's always elegant.  We hope you will join us for this weeks challenge and look forward to seeing what you make. I've used the Butterfly Basics stamp set  for my flower which was stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with Black embossing powder.   I then painted the background with a black ink wash and my Aquabrush.  My cardstock is Basic Black, an Shimmer White and I've used some retired paper from the Back to Black pack. I used a permanent black marker to colour my basic rhinestones black as well. We hope you can join us this week for our Black and White themed at  Stamp Ink Paper . Have a great day.

Hello Everyone, I've made a couple of Easel Cards for upcoming b'days for my daughters 15 y/olds friends, however she doesn't have a need for these as yet as I made quite a personalised verion for her friend Holly which I showed a couple of weeks ago.  These are the same style of Easel card using stamps Gorgeous Grunge and the background of You've Got This with Star and Large number framelits. I was told no flowers, butterflies or hearts on these cards.   Inside I really do enjoy making Easel cards and these were fun.  For sale, if anyone is looking for cards for 15 year olds. Have a great week.

This card incorporates 2 stamp sets, Celebrate Baby (retired) and Honey Comb Happiness(SAB).  Cardstock I chose was Mint Macaron, Blushing Bride & Whipser White.  I added some Mint Macaroon print paper from the 12 x 12 In Colour stack an used Blushing Bride buttons from my stash and a Honeycomb embellishment for the balloon.  Here's a closer look.

Hi Everyone, This was a Sympathy card I created using the new Rose Garden thinlits dies and Rose Wonder stamps for the sentiment. The cardsock I've used is Basic Black, Rich Razzleberry and Very Vanilla.  The rose image has been cut from Rich Razzleberry card and adhered to a background of Timeless elegance designer paper.   Simplicity was the key to this card.  Its quite elegant but understated considering the purpose of it.

Hi Everyone, Welcome to our sketch challenge this week at Stamp Ink Paper which comes to us from Sandy.   Here's my take on the sketch. Cardstock of Rich Razzleberry and Pink Pirouette was combined with  Blooms & Bliss designer papers and May Flower Framelits.  This is a totally stamp free card.  I purposely left off a greeting so that this card could be used for any purpose. Here is a closeup of the flower die cut. We would love for you to join us at Stamp Ink Paper for our sketch challenge.
