Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers~ Sketch 33, Card 2

Hi Crafty Friends,
I'm sharing my second design team card for {BYSH} Cardmakers using Sketch 33.
I did another holiday truck card.  I love the holiday trucks and will continue to make them using different dies and designs.  This one was made using dies from Spellbinders Through the Woods die set.

You'll notice I turned the sketch sideways.  Remember, our sketches are only for inspiration.

The papers are from Echo Park.

Here's the sketch for you.  There is still plenty of time to enter our Facebook Challenge.

Just link your project HERE.

I hope you'll play along.

Cut it Up Challenge #278 ~ Send Me Flowers

Hi Crafty Friends,
We have a new challenge posted on the Cut it Up Challenges Blog.The theme is SEND ME FLOWERS.
Remember to use a die cut on your project.
Here's my card using a Pink Fresh Stencil with coordinating die.

I used Distress Inks for the stenciling then used the die to cut it out.  I used Bo Bunny Double Dots card stock (an oldie but goodie and still one of my favorites.)  I added some Pink Fresh gems for a little sparkle.

I hope you'll play along.  If you'd like to be a guest designer for a future challenge, please sent an email to cutitupchallenges.gmail.com.  

Congratulations Graduate

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's my day to share on the Jaded Blossom Blog.

Octagon Dies

Diagonal Card Mat Die

Gnome Dies: School Add Ons

Gnome Dies: New Years  Add Ons

School Dies (inside)

Hard Work (inside)

Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers ~ Sketch #33

Hi Crafty Friends,
There's a new challenge up on the Build Your Stash Holdiay Cardmakers FaceBook page.We'll be accepting link ups to Sketch #33 in the FB album until the end of May.I'll share the sketch at the bottom of the post.
Here's my design using two new products from my crafty stash.

Who says flamingos aren't for Christmas?  And it was fun using non-traditional holiday colors!

The background was created using Pink Fresh Diagonal Plaid stencil set and Distress Oxide ink and inspired by a cardmaking class put on by Sharon Doan.  We meet monthly and she shares the most amazing products and ideas.  The image is from My Favorite Things Festive Flamingos.

I hope you'll play along with this month's sketch challenge.

Jaded Blossom May Release Blog Hop

Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to Jaded Blossom's May Stamp Release Blog Hop.  

If you're here from Cynthia's Blog, you're in the right place, if you're just passing through start at the beginning because you don't want to miss a thing.  I also have the complete line up at the bottom.
Here is what I made:

I love to experiment with different techniques and this card is the result.  I stamped and heat embossed the image using gold embossing powder.  I used Distress Ink Oxides to blend over and around the image the rubbed the ink off the embossed detail.  Finally, I added Spectrum Sparkle over the entire image which reacted with the Oxide Inks.  I used a heat gun to stop the reaction and preserve the remaining color.  I think it produced an interesting effect.
