Paper Craft Crew Weekly Challenge #624: Textured Notes

Good morning,

Today I'm playing along with this weeks Paper Craft Crew Weekly Challenge which is CASE the catalog, with twist.  When I was looking through the catalog the card on Page 58 really reminded me of a fancy picture frame with an oil painting so that's what I decided to go with.

I started with Crumb Cake cardstock for the base and then added a piece of DSP from the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper (love all the dimension in this paper).  Next I took a piece of Early Espresso cardstock and cut the "mat" using the Textured Notes Dies and then cut down a piece of DSP from the Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper pack (now I'll admit there was a lot of paper waste to get the image how I wanted it but it was worth it!).  I then used dimensionals to attach this piece to the cardfront.

The greeting is from the Textured Notes stamp set and was stamped on Basic White cardstock with Highland Heather ink before being punched out with a 1 3/4" Circle Punch and trimming off the top.  I again used dimensionals to add the greeting.  The final touch was to add some Adhesive Backed Textured Dots.

I love how this card turned out, the textures really let the image be the star!  Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing and we would love for you to play along and share what you create.

Also, the Suite sale started yesterday and the stamp set, dies, and DSP used on this project are all included in the sale so if you've had your eye on these fabulous products now's the time to stock up!

Paper Craft Crew Weekly Challenge #609: One More Year

Good morning,

It's time for another Paper Craft Crew challenge and this week we're focusing on Sale-a-bration products and sharing our favorites (don't forget Sale-a-bration is ending at the end of February so make sure to order and get your freebies ASAP!)  For this card I decided to showcase 2 of my favorite accessories, the Starstruck Embossing Folder and Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper.

The card start with Basic White cardstock for the cardbase and then I added a piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock that's embossed with the Starstruck Embossing Folder and then matted with Early Espresso Cardstock.

Next I took the Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper and cut 2 squares using different prints using the Stitched Shapes dies and a large circle using the same dies (the circle is matted with Early Espresso cardstock and cut using the Layered Circles dies to get a scalloped circle.  Before attaching the circle to the cardfront with dimensionals I wrapped some Real Red & White Baker's Twine around the cardfront and tied a double bow.

The greeting is from the One More Year stamp set (just inked part of the stamp using my Stampin' Write markers) on Basic White cardstock and then cut out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  The greeting is also popped up with dimensionals and to finish off the card I added a few Basic Rhinestones for a little bling.  

I love how our DSP packs make it easy to let the different patterns be the star of the projects for super easy use.  Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing and we would love for you to play along with the challenge and share what you create.

Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge #456: One More Year

Good morning,

What a fun weekend, in addition to attending the Philadelphia Eagles Superbowl Victory Parade, we were able to spend part of the day with Aidan on his birthday and celebrate him turning 20!  I'm sharing the card I made for him for this weeks Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge creation.

For this card I started with a carbase of Boho Blue cardstock and I cut 1" off the right side front so the inside panel was partially visible.  On the inside I added a piece of Basic White cardstock as well as strip of  Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper.

On the front I took another pattern from the DSP pack and matted it with Mossy Meadow cardstock for the cardfront.

Next I cut 2 circles with the Stitches Shapes dies, one in Misty Moonlight that was embossed with the Plaster Painting 3D embossing folder, and the other was Basic White.  One the white circle I stamped the birthday cake from the One More Year stamp set and colored it in with Stampin' Blends.  Now remember when you attach the white circle to the front to NOT add adhesive to the right side as it will hang over the edge of the cardfront and will will inadvertently seal your card shut, haha! 

The greeting is from the same stamp set (just used part of the stamp) and was stamped on Pebbled Path cardstock before being cut out with the Stitched Rectangle Dies and attached with dimensionals.  I added a trio of Drusy Adhesive Backed Embellishments on the greeting for a fun accent.  To finish off the card I cut out the "20" from Silver Foil and the Birthday Celebration dies so I could personalize the card with his age.

I was so happy with how this card turned out and know the kiddo appreciated spending time together even though he's away at school.

Adoring Hearts Valentine

Good morning and Happy Valentine's Day,

I promise I'm wrapping up my valentine's projects but had to share the card I made for hubby, which shocker, uses a different stamp set!

This card starts with a cardbase of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and then added a piece of Basic White cardstock for the cardfront that's embossed with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder and then added a strip of the Marbled Elegance Speciality Designer Series Paper.  Before attaching I did wrap a piece of Gold Twisted Thread and tied a bow.

I used a piece of Gold Foil and the Spotlight on Nature dies to cut the large circle.  To this I added a circle cut from Basic White cardstock using the Stitches Shapes dies.  On this piece I stamped the floral heart from the Adoring Hearts stamp set using Cherry Cobbler ink.

I cut a smaller heart suing the Hearts of Elegance dies and the Marbled Elegance DSP as well as the stitched heart using Gold Foil and popped it up with dimensionals.  The greeting is from the same stamp set and was stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink on Basic White cardstock.  I fussy cut the greeting and popped it up with dimensionals.

I love everything about this card and know hubby will enjoy it.
