Paper Craft Crew Theme Challenge #588: Potions & Spells

Good morning!

Loving the arrival of fall which means Halloween fun will be here before we know it.  This weeks Paper Craft Crew theme challenge is right in line with this so I thought it would be the perfect time to ink up the Potions & Spells stamp set and coordinating dies.

This card uses Smoky Slate for the cardbase and then layers Granny Apple Green and Basic Black cardstock behind the Basic White cardfront.

Next I used the stamp set to stamp the cauldron on Basic Gray cardstock before cutting it out with the coordinating dies.  The ooze from the cauldron uses the same dies and the Festive Glimmer Paper.

I used a piece of designer series paper from the Halloween Memories Scrapbooking Workshop kit to cut out the stack of books for the spooky cat to stand on (and he's popped up with dimensionals).

I used other images in the stamp set to stamp the bubbles using Smoky Slate ink and the greeting was stamped with Pumpkin Pie ink.  As a final touch, I added some Drusy Adhesive Backed Embellishments (the clear one's) for accents to the bubbles.

This card is so fun, which just the perfect amount of spooky!  Make sure to check out the other cards the design team are sharing and we would love for you to play along and share what you create.

Paper Craft Crew Theme Challenge #567: Simply Zinnia

Good morning!

I'm back with a card using this weeks Paper Craft Crew Theme Challenge which is perfect for this spring time weather.

I used the Simply Zinnia Bundle (which is an Online Exclusive) for this beautiful floral image.

The card starts with a base of Basic White Thick cardstock and then a piece of Basic White cardstock that's embossed with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing folder before popping it up with dimensionals.

For the floral image I stamped it with Momento Black ink on Basic White cardstock before cutting it out with the coordinating dies and coloring with Stampin' Blends.  Dimensionals were used to pop up the image on the cardfront.

For an accent I tied a double bow using Linen Thread.  The greeting is from the same stamp set and was stamped in Melon Mambo ink before being cut out using the Stitched Shaped Dies and attached with dimensionals.

I love how the colors really pop against the crisp white background.

This challenge is perfect for springtime greetings so I encourage you to check out the other cards the design team is sharing for inspiration and then share what you create, can't wait to see it!

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.

Paper Craft Crew Theme Challenge #PCC337: Everything is Rosy

Good morning!

Graduation season is approaching so it's time to start adding some cards to my stock for the occasion.  This week the Paper Craft Crew theme challenge is about celebrations so this works perfectly!  I'm also still having lots of fun with the Everything is Rosy Product Medley, with it's Rose Gold elements so that's what I went with.

I started with Blushing Bride cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock as a mat for the gorgeous  foiled designer series paper.  I wrapped a piece of the Night of Navy Rose Gold Trimmed Ribbon around to anchor the greeting.


The Big Shot and Large Letter Framelits (retiring) make easy work of cutting the letters out of the Rose Gold Foil paper included in the product medley.  Look at this awesome greeting tag!  It's also part of the kit and has Rose Gold Foil accents so I just stamped the greeting in Night of Navy ink using the Everything is Rosy stamp set and attached the greeting with dimensionals.

This product medley is jam packed with products that help you make stunning projects without needing lots of extras.  Makes 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.

Remember the Everything is Rosy Product Medley is only available through May 31, while supplies last so don't miss out on ordering yours.
