Sketch Saturday Challenge 774 ~ Optional Twist: Add Embellishments

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have a new Sketch Saturday challenge sketch for you.

Sketch 774 has the optional twist to add embellishments.  You don't have to ask my twice since I love adding embellies to my projects.

The patterned papers are Crafter's Companion.  I used Spellbinders 3D embossing folder SES065 to add dimension to the largest circle.  The butterfly is from Pinkfresh Studio's Butterfly Washi and I used Jaded Blossom's Stitched Circles to die cut the circle shapes.

Here's the sketch for your inspiration.

You can upload your project HERE.

New Team!! Sketch Saturday ~ Sketch #754

Hi Crafty Friends,

Yep!  I have joined a new design team.  I seem to get more accomplished when I have deadlines and I do love using card sketches so joining the Sketch Saturday team seemed like a good match.

This is my first challenge as a DT member.  You'll find the challenge sketch below my project.

Challenge 754 is to use an archived sketch and I followed Sketch 631 with no "creative license."

The patterned paper is from an older set of Webster's Pages.  Their papers are so elegant.

All of the plain cardstock papers are from Michael's.  I also used:

Altenew Deck Planks 3D embossing folder

Jaded Blossom Stitched Squares and Flag Dies

Spellbinders Sweet Birdie

Copic Markers

You can find all of the archived sketches on the blog.

I'd love to see you play along.

Outlawz Festive Friday Challenge ~ May Challenge

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's May so time for a new Outlawz Festive Friday Challenge.
As always, we have four themes for you to choose from:Christmas (always a choice)Mother's DaySpring FlowersWrap it Up (ribbon or twine)
My card would be perfect for both Spring Flowers or Mother's Day.

I used Spellbinders Layered Daisies die set, a Scallop Oval from Jaded Blossom and gems from Pinkfresh Studio.  I die cut using Hammermill 100# cardstock and then ink blended the florals.

I hope you'll play along with our challenge.  Challenge rules and inspiration can be found on the blog (link above), and we'd love you to join our Facebook Fan page as well.

Cut it Up Challenge #299 ~ Colors of Spring

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's time for a new challenge at Cut it Up Challenge Blog.
Those of us in the USA are truly ready for spring so to help it along, our theme isCOLORS OF SPRING.
Here's my card:

I recently participated in Pinkfresh Studio's Create and Connect Cardmaking event.This card was inspired by one of the techniques we used - partial die cutting to create the border.If you haven't used Pinkfresh Studio's stamp/stencil/die sets, I encourage you to give them a try.I used the Cosmos Bunch set and Pinkfresh cube inks.  I also used a coverplate for the inside background and inked the stripe to fill in the space.  I've used one of my favorite color combinations for this card, lavender and green.
I hope you'll play along and share your project through the link above.

Thank You

 Hi Crafty Friends,

It's my design team day on the Jaded Blossom Blog.

Today I'd like to share a shaker/gift card holder design that was shared by Jennifer McGuire.

It's a unique idea and I thought it would be fun to try it.

The gift card slips right into the shaker pocket.  There is a flap inside the card that allows for easy access to the gift card and still keep the shaker element in place.

I used these Jaded Blossom products:

Vine Stencil

Wheelbarrow Die

Gnome Dies: Garden Add Ons (flowers, instead of the tulips)

Thank You

Thank You Outline Dies

This was such a fun card to create.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cut it Up Challenge #251 ~ Any Animal or Insect

Hi Crafty Friends,
Yay!  There's a new Cut it Up Challenge posted.For this one we'd like to see any animal or insect, and don't forget to add a die cut!
I used stamps from our sponsor, CAS-ual Fridays to create this card.  

First I used the "Flowery" background stamp and then colored and die cut a matching flower from the Flower Duo set.  The Hello sentiment was stamped directly on the background.  I added the Bee using a die set from Lala Land Crafts.  I also used the Stitched Rectangles from Jaded Blossom.  The flower was colored using Copic Markers.  This would be such an easy design to mass create using different colors on the flower and mat.
I hope you'll play along with us.  The prize will be a gift voucher from CAS-ual Fridays.

Passionate Paper Creations & Friends ~ Stampendous Sponsorship

Hi Crafty Friends,
Our Facebook group, Passionate Paper Creations & Friends is being sponsored by Stampendous this weekend.  Their stamps are so much fun to color.  They are full of detail but amazingly easier to color than you'd think.
For my first project I'm using Hydrangea Tin, a Fran's Rubber Stamp.
Isn't this just the sweetest image to celebrate spring?

I colored using Copic Markers and added the sentiment a sentiment from Jaded Blossom's Basic Word Dies set.  The scallop rectangle and stitched rectangle mats are also from Jaded Blossom.

My second project is House Mouse Designs, Rose Play.

These mice are always a favorite and the composition of the stamps gives you a lot of guidance for coloring.

Hop on over to the PPCF facebook page and take a look.  Please join our group if you haven't already.  Then you can take advantage of the special offers available during each sponsorship.

Thanks for stopping by.
