Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #681: Rolling Waves

Good morning!

When it's really hot I find it's the perfect time to head to the studio (mine's in the basement so it's nice and cool) so I'm back to play along with this weeks Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge.  Of course I decided to letter the summer heat and vibes influence me on this weeks card along with some of the great products in July's Online Exclusives release.

This card starts with Pool Party for the card base and I added a piece of Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper that's matted with Basic Black cardstock.  I used different patterns from the same paper pack for the three flags along the bottom and wrapped a piece of Black 3/8" Iridescent Ribbon around the top.

For the main image I took a piece of Basic White cardstock and matted with Basic Black before stamping the greeting from the Rolling Waves stamp set on the bottom in Basic Black ink (that's the only stamping on this card!).  The Summer Happiness Washi tape is a sleeper hit in my opinion, the images on the tape match up with the Summer Happiness dies so I just added the washi tape to a piece of Basic White cardstock and then cut out a whole bunch of pieces (I actually have a little stack of extras for future projects).  I did use dimensionals to pop up the flip flops and flower.  The final touch was to add some embellishments from the Array of Dots as the perfect finishing touch.

This card is so bright and cheery, perfect for a summer birthday!  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.

Paper Craft Crew Weekly Challenge #662: BBQ Master

Good morning,

With lots of guys in my life masculine cards are always a need I have so I fell in love with the new BBQ Master bundle that's been released and decided to use it for this weeks Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge.

For this card I started with Crumb Cake cardstock for the cardbase and then matted a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock matted with Basic Black cardstock for the cardfront.

The images are all from the BBQ Master stamp set.  The DSP strips I added are from the Weekend Adventures Designer Series Paper.  

I finished the card off with a bow tied with Black Linen Thread.

This card is nice and simple but perfect to wish a guy in your life a happy birthday.

Paper Craft Crew Weekly Challenge #661: Big Little Things

Good morning,

When I saw the Big Little Things stamp set, which is an online exclusive I knew I had to have it because of the panda image, oh so cute! While I bought the stamp set right away it hasn't seen any ink yet so I thought it would be perfect for this weeks Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge.

I started with Basic White Thick cardstock for the cardbase and then used a piece of DSP from the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper matted with Basic Black cardstock for the cardfront.

Next I used the Big Little Things stamp set to stamp the panda image on Basic White cardstock before cutting it out with the Stitched Shapes dies and matting it with a scalloped circle using Basic Black cardstock and the Layering Circles Dies.

The greeting was heat embossed on Basic Black cardstock with White Embossing Powder and the Heat tool before cutting it out with the Stitched Rectangles Dies and attaching with dimensionals.  I finished off the card with a bow tied with Linen Thread and a few flowers from the Hues of Blues embellishments.

This card is so fun, just love how it turned out.  Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing and I would love to see what you create using this sketch.

Amber Autumn Birthday Greetings

Good morning,

We're back with another card using pieces that were already colored, just waiting for a home.  Today is the acorn piece from the Amber Autumn Bundle.

This card starts with Basic Beige cardstock for the cardbase and then a piece of Gathering Together Speciality Designer Series Paper as the cardfront which was matted with Crushed Curry Cardstock.  I added another piece of the DSP across the center as a belly band and matted it with Early Espresso cardstock.  Around this piece I did wrap some Old Olive Twine from the Early Espresso & Old Olive Linen Thread Pack and tied a bow.

The main stamped piece was stamped on Basic White cardstock and after coloring it in with Stampin' Blends cut it out using the coordinating Amber Autumn Dies before attaching with dimensionals.

The greeting is from the Coneflower Celebrations stamp set and was stamped in Cajun Craze ink on Basic Beige cardstock before cutting it out with the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  The final touch was to add a few Streaked Dots as accents.

This card is definitely leaning more towards the masculine side which is perfect since I have lots of guys in my life that I enjoy celebrating their special days!
