Stamp, Ink, Paper #95 - Fruit Stand Cards

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the Stamp, Ink, Paper challenge for this week.  Its sketch challenge time and we can't wait to see what you create with this one.




I've been on a bit of a mission to use up some Designer Series Paper that's soon to be discontinued.  This pack I've used on my cards is called Fruit Stand.  I put in a big effort on Saturday and made 11 cards and 12 in today for the Easter break.  It was great to have some uninterrupted time to play.  Here's some of my cards that I've based on this week's sketch.





All very similar, but I've mixed and matched patterned and some some different greetings so they aren't identical.  We hope you will join us for this one, as its a fun and easy sketch.  Here's some more of my cards.



I've used a number of cardstocks including Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, Peekaboo Peach, Whisper White, Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo and Crumb Cake.   The featured cards have a Bee in common from the SU Dragonfly bundle and all have the paper doily as the shape for the sketch and have their greetings cut out with the Stitched Shapes framelits.  I also pulled out my butterfly for one card as sadly that butterfly set will retire along with that dsp shortly.




This card uses the Flirty Flamingo cardstock for the base and front panel.



The greeting for this one comes from the Butterfly Basics stamp set.


A variety of different greetings have been used, some from retired stamp sets like Well Scripted and Wonderful Mother.


You can see that I was on a roll and I'm happy that I was so productive.  This is a great sketch if you want to use up some Designer Papers before you buy more new ones, cause new is always so tempting.  Some of these cards will be gifted.




Thanks so much for joining us Stamp, Ink, Paper.  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

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...
