Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Sketch 35 ~ DT Card 2

Hi Crafty Friends,
I'm back with my second card for the BYSH Facebook team using sketch 35.
You have lots of time to join our challenge by adding your card to the Facebook Group Album.
Here's my card using papers from a DCWV stack that I've had in my stash for years.  All I added was a twine bow and some gold discs.  Don't you love papers sets that include a variety of sentiment blocks?It sure makes things quick and easy.

Cut it Up Challenge # 282 ~ Look Up in the Air

Hi Crafty Friends,We have a fun new challenge at Cut It Up Challenges.Our theme is "Look Up in the Air."  So many ways to interpret this theme.  I hope you'll play along.

Here's a fun card using the Floating Bunny die set from Spellbinders.  It also comes with balloons, but for this theme, I thought the clouds were perfect.  The sentiment is from the Whimsy Stamps Fly By set.

Just follow the link above to play along.

Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers ~ Sketch 35, Card #1

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's Christmas in July for a lot of cardmakers blogs but at Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers it's Christmas EVERY month.  I may actually have enough card come December 1.
Here's my first design team project using sketch 35.

I have so many wonderful Echo Park 6 x 6 paper pads so it's easy to find coordinating papers and go from there for embellishments.  I dug out some BRADS for this card.  I knew that drawer full would come in handy and my corner chomper - some tools are just too good to let go.

I hope you'll play along with us on our FaceBook group HERE.  Just add your projects to the Sketch 35 folder.  A winner will be chosen at the end of the month but you'll be a winner because you'll be ahead on your holiday cardmaking.

You're a Koalaty Friend

 Hi Crafty Friends,

  It's my day to post a Jaded Blossom project here and on the Jaded Blossom Blog.

I have loved Jaded Blossom for many, many years so my stamp and die collection is quite extensive.

I categorize many of my stamps by theme but I also have 3 shoeboxes full of general stamps, easy to forget what I have since I never got on the record keeping train.

Anyhoo - I thought it would be fun to do a blind selection and create a project from whatever I picked out - sight unseen- from my collection.

Here's my project using the G'Day Mate stamp set (randomly selected.)

I also used 3 dies from the Card Mat Dies, the Birch Tree and Vine Stencils and some leaves from the Tropical Flowers Dies.  The image was cut using a Scan N Cut and colored using Copics.

Thanks for stopping by,

Last Minute Manda Clipart ~ Happy Independence Day

Hi Crafty Friends,
Time to share another project using the fun clipart from Last Minute Manda.
Today's project uses an image from the Little Bees are Patriotic PNG set.

The image was printed and then cut using a Scan N Cut. The die cuts are from Jaded Blossom and so is the sentiment and outline.  The pattern papers are from Doodlebug Designs.

Such a fun image to use and there's a similar one on the inside.

Be sure visit the LMM FaceBook Group for more ideas using both clipart and digital images.

I'm having fun creating designs for this double Z fold style.  I love that it folds flat for mailing.

I used Doodlebug Designs 6 x 6 papers and embellishments.

Pearly Sparkles July Challenge ~ Christmas in July

Hi Crafty Friends,
Welcome to the July Pearly Sparkles challenge,Christmas in July.
I love getting ahead for holiday card sending, how about you?

This A2 card was created using patterned papers from Echo Park and a wonderful stamp, stencil, die cut set from Pink Fresh Studio, Poinsettia.

I am having so much fun using PFS layering stencils.  They are each marked for placement and numbered so they're truly easy to use.  I stamped after stenciling and then used all-in-one die to cut the pieces out.  I fussy cut the sentiment which was also a part of the set.

Follow the link above to play along with us this month.

Cut it UpChallenge #281 ~ Hello Sunshine

Hi Crafty Friends,
Time to share a new Cut it Up Challenge.The theme for challenge #281 is Hello Sunshine.  There are so many ways to interpret this theme.  We hope you have fun with it.
I saw a card using this double Z fold on FaceBook and just had to give it a try.  I made this one a little larger than the standard A2 so that I could incorporate my different design ideas.  I also added a message space to the back.

I used Bo Bunny Double Dots papers for the this card -still one of my favorite lines so I tend to hoard what I have left.  The stencil is from Pink Fresh Studio.  I used it as sunburst but you can also use a different color for each ray (it's a 5 piece stencil) for a completely different effect.

The stamps and dies are from Jaded Blossom: Large Palm Tree, Tropical Dies, Happy Hello Add Ons 2, and Sentiment Strip dies.
