Paper Craft Crew 237 - Everyday Hero

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to our Wednesday challenge at the Paper Craft Crew




I've gone with "Cute" today.  Not something I do often but I enjoyed making this card.  I've used the fun stamp set called Everyday Hero for today's card.  The cardstock is Smoky Slate, Basic Gray, Whisper White and some SAB Glimmer paper from the stack in Mint Macaron.




I love the Comic Book look of these Super heros in this stamp set and don't think they are just for children.  They can be enjoyed by both young and old.  I coloured the image with a combination of inks and Watercolour pencils and I masked and sponged around the city skyline and cut it out with the Stitched Shapes framelits.  Here's a closer look.






I was so happy with how this turned out that I made another with a Mint Macaron base and my ladies made this one at class today.  Although this stamp set did not appeal to all the ladies as one to purchase, it still made them smile and a couple had grandchildren that they could save this card for their upcoming birthdays.

Thank you for joining us this week at the Paper Craft Crew.  Looking forward to seeing your creation.  Have a great day.

    Such a fun card Carolyn! I've been sitting on the rail about getting the Everyday Hero's set, but when I see great cards like yours it makes me want it. TFS.

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

Image
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...

Just Add Ink 184 - Just Add Bows

Hi Everyone, How are we this Friday?  I'm good, been to the Dentist this morning for my regular check.  The good news is today was relatively painless, the bad news is I have to go back for some fillings.  Yuck! There's a great challenge at Just Add Ink this week brought to us by Trish to Just Add Bows.  The paper variety are so popular at the moment so that's what I'm making today. I've used my Extra Large oval punch with some of the gorgeous Winter Frost Designer Series Paper pack.  This is one of the foil sheets from the pack for my bow.  I've kept this card simple and elegant making a square card, so that it looks like a gift. Here is a closeup of that bow. I've used Bermuda Bay and Whisper White cardstock today with the Winter Frost paper pack.  I really like the colour combinations in these papers.  You can pack these cards quite quickly and they look so effective. Thanks for stopping by today to view my card.  P...
