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.

Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #690: Relaxing Waterside

Good morning,

I've been able to spend some extra time in the Stampin' Studio this week, which always makes me happy.  Along with several memory keeping projects I was able to play along with this weeks Paper Craft Crew Inspiration challenge.  This was fun, I spent some time browsing the catalog and decided to take on the second card on page 47 of the catalog but I decided to use the Relaxing Waterside set and coordinating paper.  Previously I cut out a whole bunch of the images from this DSP so they were just screaming at me to use them on something.

This card starts with Smoky Slate cardstock for the cardbase.  Next, I added a piece of the Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper that's matted with Mossy Meadow carstock.

The next layer (with the shell design) is also a piece from the DSP that has lots of different sized backgrounds and accents that make projects really simple.  I stamped the greeting, in Mossy Meadow ink directly on this piece of paper.

The final touch was to add the three different bouys (which I had already cut out) and popped the top one up with dimensionals.  A bow tied with Linen Thread perfectly wraps it up.

This card looks really detailed but thanks to the designer series paper it's really quick an easy, which I love!

Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #689: Thanks & Giving

Good morning,

With the arrival of September is perfect timing for this weeks Paper Craft Crew theme challenge, fall.  This was my first opportunity to pull out some of the new catalog products I've received but haven't had a chance to play with which is always fun.

This card starts with Crumb Cake cardstock for the cardbase and then I added a piece of Autumn Opulence Specialty Designer Series paper that's matted with Cajun Craze cardstock.  I added another coordinating piece of DSP that's matted with Blackberry Bliss cardstock before adding a piece of Calypso Coral with Copper Border 3/8" Ribbon.

The stamp set is the new Thanks & Giving set and has lots of great greetings and images.  I stamped the wreath on Very Vanilla cardstock and colored it in with Stampin' Blends before fussy cutting it out and attaching with dimensionals.  The greeting was stamped directly on the DSP with Blackberry Bliss ink and the final touch was to add some Gold Adhesive Backed Dots for a little bling. 

I love how this card turned out, it definitely has all the fall feelings.

Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #688: Wild Bunch

Good morning,

When I saw this weeks Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge I was immediately drawn to the 3 shapes in a row and trying to figure out how to handle those, then I saw a stack of images from the Wild Bunch stamp set that I had already colored and cut out and were just waiting for a home.  

I started with Pecan Pie cardstock for the cardbase.  The cardfront is Basic White that's embossed with the So Swirly Embossing folder and matted with Basic Black cardstock.  Next, I added a strip of the 2026-2026 In Colors Gingham Gallery Designer Series Paper (the Golden Glow pattern) and matted it with Basic Black cardstock.

As I mentioned, the little critters were already done but I used Stampin' Blends to color them before fussy cutting and attaching with dimensionals.

The greeting is from the BBQ Master stamp set and was stamped in Basic Black ink on Pecan Pie cardstock before fussy cutting and attaching with dimensionals.  The final touch, some dots from the 2026-2028 In Color Dots.

I love how fun this card turned out, and using pieces that were just waiting for a home on my desk is perfect.  Now I know this stamp set is sold out but you may have it in your stash or you can use images from another set that you do have.
