Cut it Up Challenge #335 ~ Monochrome
Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers ~ July Challenge #59
This is a simple card that lends itself well to creating multiples.
I used patterned paper that has been in my stash for years. The embellishments are from Echo Park, one of their Chipboard frames sets. Two strips of plain cardstock and, wa-la, a finished card.
Here's the sketch for your inspiration. I hope you'll play along.

Double Trouble Challenge #196 ~ 3-2-1 Recipe "Keep Us in Stitches"

Our challenge has 3 options so you'll want to visit the blog for a detailed explanation.
Each option gives you more chances in our Random Drawings.
Here's my project for #196 and how I interpreted all the Things!

Thing 1 Trouble Maker offers the 3-2-1 challenge which for this challenge is
3 layers - layering is my favorite thing so you'll see lots of layers
2 images stamped or die cut - I used Jaded Blossom's Gnome Friends: Honey Bee, Sunflower Dies, Honeycomb Card Mat die, and Bee Faces. I also used La-La Land Crafts card kit #30 for the hive
1 stitched element - Most of the Jaded Blossom dies have stitching
You can stop with Thing 1's challenge but to add a little more fun we have Thing 3 Twisted Sister's optional twist: Fun Pun Sentiment. Mine is from Jaded Blossom's Bee Kind Sentiment stamp and die set.
And finally, to support our sister challenge blogs, Thing 2's Double Dare is to use the upcoming TSOT sketch #675. That post isn't live until Tuesday but you can see a sneak peek in the graphic above. The sketch is for inspiration. You might have noticed, I changed the orientation.
I'll be back bi-weekly on Mondays to share more Double Trouble challenges.
I hope you'll play along.

Double Trouble Challenge 195 ~ 3-2-1 "Inky Pinkies"
Our challenge has 3 options so you'll want to visit the blog for a detailed explanation.
Each option gives you more chances in our Random Drawings.
Here's my first project as a designer (aka Sneetch)
Thing 1 Trouble Maker offers the 3-2-1 challenge which for this challenge is
3 colors - mine are blue, turquoise, and purple
2 images hand-stamped - I used Taylored Expressions Doodle Birds stamp and die set
1 sentiment - I used a sentiment from Jaded Blossom's Birds of a Feather set.
You can stop with Thing 1's challenge but to add a little more fun we have Thing 3 Twisted Sister's optional twist: shimmer and shine. I added foiled cardstock dies and mat, metallic ink splatter using Yasutomo metallic paint, a heat embossed sentiment, and I used Ohuhu Glitter Markers (along with Copics) for my birds.
And finally, to support our sister challenge blogs, Thing 2's Double Dare is to use the upcoming TSOT sketch #674. That post isn't live until Tuesday but you can see a sneak peek in the graphic above.
I'll be back bi-weekly on Mondays to share more Double Trouble challenges.
