Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #29

So I figure better late than never.  It's been a busy week and with a holiday yesterday I am down to the wire in getting my card in for the challenge for Paper Craft Crew this week.

This weeks sketch is as shown.

 and my version in card form is:

The Supplies I used were:
Cardstock: Stampin Up Sahara Sand, Daffodil Delight, Riding Hood Red, Pool Party and Vintage Verses DSP
Stamps: Secret Garden and That's the Ticket.
Dies and Punches: Secret Garden Framelits and Duo Ticket Punch.

Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch 28 and Color Challenge 5

It's a new week and another challenge over are Paper Craft Crew.

This weeks sketch and colour combo are found below.

I wasn't exactly sure what to do at first but I thought why not stick with something valentiney since purple is in the colour scheme and I really wanted to FINALLY use my Gnomenclature and Gnome Sweet Snome stamp sets.  Ever since I moved into my new house I have this thing for gnomes and can't wait until we do the landscaping so that I can have my very own army of gnomes throughout my flower beds.  But for now I will have to stick to the card.

I stayed more or less true to the sketch this week but had fun with the colours.

 

Supplies Used:

Cardstock: Stampin Up! Whisper White and Perfect Plum.

Inks: Stampin Up! Classic Ink in Perfect Plum, Wild Wasabi, So Saffron and Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

Stamps: Gnomenclature and Gnome Sweet Gnome

Dies and Embossing Folders: Cuttlebug Argyle Embossing Folder, Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels 18, Stampin Up! Fashionable Hearts Embosslit, Corner Rounder.

Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch #27

It's been a long week of traveling for business, but first thing I did when I got back was take some time to unwind and make a card for Paper Craft Crew.

The sketch for the week looked like this.

Stamps: You're My Type, Hearts a Flutter and En Francais
Dies & Punches: Heart A Flutter Framelits, Owl Punch, Corner Rounder, Honeycomb Embossing Folder

Paper Crafting Crew Challenge #26

This is my third week participating in the Paper Craft Crew Challenge and this week the sketch was

and the colour combination was


                                           










The card I made was intended for a boys first birthday so I kept the Regal Rose to a minimum and went more with the Daffodil Delight and Bashful Blue Combo.  I opted out of the small sentiment and put a large birthday greeting and accessorized with the cupcake punch.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock: Stampin Up Regal Rose, Bashful Blue, Daffodil Delight Regular and DSP and Whisper White

Stamps: Netting Background and Dot Dot Dot

Ink: Versamark with Stampin Up Clear & Black Embossing Powders & Daffodil Delight Classic Ink

Other Fun Stuff: Cupcake Punch, Dazzling Diamonds, Snail Adhesive and Dimensionals

Paper Craft Crew Challenge #25

So this is my second week getting in on the action at Paper Craft Crew.

Before I get into the details for my card today I would like to announce that I have some BLOG CANDY!!! I will announce exactly what I am giving away tomorrow but it is sure to be a hit! Hint: Think Stampin Up! Sale-A-Bration Time!!!

So if you would like to be eligible follow my blog and tell all your friends because once I hit 25 followers I will draw a random name and send your treat to you in the mail.


Now on to the task at hand:

I am having fun making cards for these challenges as it actually gets me into my craft room to make something when I don't necessarily have anything specific I need.

Here is the Sketch and Colour Combination for this week.

I'm actually super excited about how my card turned out and will probably make more to have on hand for birthdays. I know everyone usually has a tough time with masculine cards so I may make more just minus the pink. I think the Basic Gray and Olive Green are still great together as a pair.

My card base is Basic Gray cardstock cut at 4.25" x11" folded in half.
The background is Olive Green DSP cut at 4" x 5.25".
The strip on the left is Basic Gray cut at 1" x 5.25 and the pattern was stamped in Versamark Ink using the Border Banter stamp set and the Heat Embossed with Clear Embossing Powder, then layered onto a strip of Melon Mambo cut at 1.5" x 5.25".
The 3 small squares are Whisper White (3) and Basic Gray (1) cut at 15/16" x 15/16" with the small cupcake from the Carry On stamp set, stamped in Versamark and Heat Embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. The wrapper was colored using a Melon Mambo Marker and Dazzling Details added to the frosting.  These were then attached to four scalloped squares cut from a Cuttlebug Die I have in my stash.
Finally I added a Gray ribbon and bow from my stash and colored 3 Stampin Up Pearls using my Melon Mambo Marker.

P.S if you like my creations please click on the link above and vote for my card.
