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 #594: Potions and Spells

Good morning,

It's hard to believe it's almost the end of October and tomorrow is Halloween.  I used the upcoming holiday as inspiration for this weeks Paper Craft Crew challenge, CASE the Catalog with a Twist.  I used the "Celebrate" card on page 28 of the 2024 Holiday catalog as inspiration for today's card using the Potions and Spells bundle.

I started with Pumpkin Pie cardstock for the cardbase and then added a Basic Black cardfront that was embossed with the Dotted Circles 3D Embossing folder.  Next, I added two different pieces of designer series paper from the Halloween Spells DSP pack.

For the main image I started by stamping the cauldron on Basic Grey cardstock using Momento Black ink.  I then stamped the "double, double, toil & trouble" in Versamark ink and then embossed it with the Heat Tool and Black Embossing Powder before cutting it out with the coordinating dies. 

I used the same dies to cut out the "ooze" using the Highland Heather Glimmer Paper from the Three Color Glimmer Pack.  Then I stamped the bubbles for the top of the cauldron on Basic White cardstock, colored it in with Stampin' Blends before fussy cutting and tucked it inside the cauldron. 

The final touch was to add the Happy Halloween greeting that was stamped in Pumpkin Pie ink on Basic White cardstock.

This card is so fun, I love it to send Halloween greetings.  Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing for inspiration and we would love for you to play along and share what you create.

Here's a picture of the inspiration card from page 28 of the Holiday Catalog.

30 Day Gratitude Challenge: Day 8 (Paper Craft Crew Theme Challenge #543)

Good morning!

I'm back with another gratitude card and today's card using this weeks Paper Craft Crew theme challenge which was CASE the Catty with a Twist.  I used one of the cards on page 41 of the annual catalog as inspiration.  

This card has Crumb Cake cardstock for the cardbase and then I added a piece of Old Olive cardstock matted with Early Espresso cardstock for the cardfront.  On the Old Olive piece I repeatedly stamped "thank you" using the small image in the Go to Greetings stamp set.

The woodgrain circle piece was cut from the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper (unfortunately this paper is now sold out but you can substitute another print).

The main image is from the Rustic Crate stamp set and was stamped on Very Vanilla cardstock using Momento ink and then colored in with Stampin' Blends before cutting it out with the coordinating Rustic Crate dies and attached to the cardfront with dimensionals.  The greeting is from the same Go to Greetings stamp set (just used the largest image) and stamped in Early Espresso ink on Very Vanilla before cutting it out with Paper Snips and attaching it with dimensinals.  The final touch was to add a few of the Adhesive Backed Speckled Dots as accents.

I'm so happy with how this card turned out, it's fallish but not too serious and the stamped background makes it a little more fun!  And who doesn't look a good woodgrain print?  You should play along with the design team and share what you come up with based on this theme.
