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.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
