Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #PCC362: Delightful Day

Good morning!

While I definitely have Christmas on the brain (as most of us do this time of year) there are still other occasions this month so I decided to use this weeks Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge to make a birthday card I needed for this month.  Sometimes I struggle to use a certain package of designer series paper if I don't have the stamp set and everything that coordinate with it, so I just look for some more neutral prints and start with that, in this case it was the Follow Your Art Designer Series Paper, but then I found this great pattern and just went with it.

I started with Gray Granite cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Pacific Point cardstock as the card front which I embossed with the Brick and Mortar 3D embossing folder.

Next I added a piece of the Follow Your Art Designer Series Paper as well as a strip of Coastal Cabana cardstock.  The greeting is from the Delightful Day stamp set and was stamped in Basic Black ink on Whisper White before being cut out with the Stitched Shapes Dies and using Stampin' Write Markers to color in the confetti.  I used the same dies to cut a mat out of Flirty Flamingo cardstock and attached the greeting with dimensionals.

To finish off the card I added some rhinestones as well as a piece of Gray Granite 1/2" Textured Weave Ribbon.

This is such a fun card, bright cheery colors and just the right amount of bling, perfect for birthday fun!  Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing for inspiration and we would love for you to play along with us and share what you create using this same sketch.

Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #PCC341: Stitched All Around

Good morning!

I've been a little neglectful of my Annual Catalog preorder which included our beautiful 2019-2021 In Colors so I thought this weeks Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge was a perfect opportunity to share some of these colors while mixing a little new and old.

I started with Seaside Spray cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock as a mat for the Whisper White cardfront.  On the cardfront I used the new Delightful Day stamp set to stamp several of the images to build up the base for the greeting (I used Seaside Spray, Pretty Peacock, and Rococo Rose inks).


For the main stamped image the greeting is from the Stitched All Around stamp set and after stamping in Pretty Peacock Ink on the Seaside Spray cardstock I cut it out with the Stitched Shapes dies.  Next I added a piece of 2019-2019 Designer Series Paper that I punched out with the Delightful Tag Topper Punch (you can buy both the punch and the Delightful Day stamp set as a bundle and save 10%) on both ends so I could thread pieces of Nature's Twine through the hole and wrap it around the matted cardfront.

The final touches to the card was adding a piece of Pretty Peacock 1/2" Scalloped Linen Ribbon behind the tag piece as well as several silver pearls from the Metallic Pearls for a little bling.

There are so many fun textures and elements that really help dress this card up to help someone know how special you think they are.  Don't forget to check out the other cards the design team is sharing for inspiration and we would love for you to play along with us and share what you create using this sketch, have fun!

Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge #317: Delightful Day

Good morning!

I am in love with so many things in the new Annual Catalog I have to admit I feel a little overwhelmed trying to decide where to start and what to spend time with first.  I know, crazy problem, but at least we have a full year to enjoy everything.  It was in that vein that I made this card for this weeks Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge, mixing a little old with a little new.

I started with Petal Pink cardstock for the cardbase and then added a cardfront using Blackberry Bliss cardstock that was embossed with the Subtle Dynamic Embossing Folder.  Next I took a piece of So Saffron cardstock and embossed it with the Tufted Dynamic Embossing Folder and added a few Gold Metallic Pearls in the bottom right corner.



The Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper is absolutely stunning (it was hard to cut up) so I added a strip to the card and wrapped a piece of Blueberry Bushel 1/8" Grosgrain Ribbon and tied a bow.  To finish off the card I added the greeting, from the new Delightful Day stamp set and used my Stampin' Write Markers to color directly on the stamp before stamping on Whisper White cardstock and cutting it out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits.  I sponged around the edges with Old Olive ink and then attached the greeting with dimensionals.

I wouldn't normally put these colors together but they work so well in this designer series paper I took it's design as the lead and am really happy with how it turned out.  Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing and we would love for you to play along with us and share what you create using this sketch.
