Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #693: Web of Fun

Good morning,

With the arrival of fall the first thing I think about is Halloween, in fact I got the house all decorated last week.  When I saw this weeks Paper Craft Crew challenge I knew it would be perfect for the gifts I made my son and his roommates this year.  My son is a senior in college and I make and send treats to him and his roommates for every holiday, thankfully the boys are really nice and appreciate it (who doesn't like chocolate??)

For this year I used the new Gable Boxes which hold plenty of sweets and decorated them with the Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper, as well as elements from the Web of Fun bundle and used the oh so cute Adhesive Backed Bats Ghosts and Dots for fun accents.

While I won't be there when the boys receive these boxes I'm sure they will bring a smile to their faces, which is perfect!  And these were super simple to make.

Paper Players Sketch Challenge #PP805: Sweet Bugs

Good morning,

Happy Friday!  I was in the studio and decided to play along with this weeks Paper Players sketch challenge and in my pile of pieces that have been stamped/colored/cut out and ready for a home I knew I needed to use some of these pieces on today's card.

This card starts with a card base of Cloud Cover cardstock and then added a piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock that's embossed with the Rustic Check 3D Embossing folder.  Next, I took three pieces of the Cute as a Bug Designer Series Paper and layered them as a perfect home for my bugs (one is a small strip under the greeting).

The bug images are from the Sweet Bugs bundle and were stamped and colored with my Stampin' Blends and then cut out with the coordinating dies.

The greeting is from the Rolling Waves stamp set and was stamped on Basic White cardstock using Poppy Parade ink before fussy cutting and attaching with dimensionals.  The final touch were some Radiant Gems added for a little fun bling!

I know fall has arrived but since summer temps returned this week I decided I could definitely use this summer feeling card, it's in the high 80's, oh my!

Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #692: Fun for Fall

Good morning,

What a beautiful morning!  I'm loving the cooler weather and all the signs of fall, I even finished decorating the house and porch so I'm all in the mood for fall and this weeks Paper Craft Crew color challenge works perfectly with this.  I decided to use Pecan Pie, Cajun Craze, and Mossy Meadow as my colors for this card to welcome the arrival of fall.  

I started with Pecan Pie cardstock for the cardbase and added a piece of the Glow of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper as the cardfront which was matted with Cajun Craze cardstock.

Next, I took a piece of Pecan Pie cardstock and embossed it with the new Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder and matted it with Cajun Craze cardstock as well.

The pumpkins are from another pattern of the DSP and I just fussy cut some pumpkins as well as the leaves (which I did color in with my Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends.  The greeting is the only thing stamped on this card and it is from the Fun for Fall stamp set and was stamped in Cajun Craze ink on Basic White cardstock before fussy cutting and attaching it to the card with dimensionals.  The final touch was to add some of the Radiant Gems. 

I love this card and all the warm fall feelings it is giving.  This card is also perfect for showing off how beautiful the Glow of Harvest Specialty Paper is (it was last months Product of the Month so you can get it for $5 with any $70 purchase, while supplies last!)

Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #691: Round About Messages

Good morning,

Today I'm channeling the last of summer feelings for today's birthday card using the Paper Craft Crew sketch as inspiration.

This card uses Daffodil Delight cardstock for the cardbase and then I took a piece of DSP from the Sunflower Fields Designer Series Paper and matted it with Early Espresso cardstock.  Next, I cut a circle of Mossy Meadow cardstock and embossed it with the Stone & Vine 3D Embossing folder.  Next I added another pattern from the DSP to bring in the sunflowers that I love so much.

The greeting is from the Round About Messages stamp set and stamped the birthday circle on a piece of Basic White cardstock with Mossy Meadow ink before cutting out with a 2" Circle Punch and then used a 1 3/4" Circle Punch to cut out the center.

The "celebrate" is from the same stamp set and was stamped in Early Espresso ink on Basic White cardstock before attaching with dimensionals.  The final touches were a bow tied with Linen Thread and some Radient Gems.

This card is so fun and I love all the little elements that just work perfectly together.
