Pals & Peeps Challenge

Over at the Papertrey Pals our 5th challenge has been issued by Liz.  It is to create a one layer card.  For me, creating a simple card is so difficult!  As I was working on my submission, I decided to play along with the Papertrey Peeps next challenge too.  I needed to case a card created by Nichole Heady for one of the last two Papertrey Ink releases.  The card I chose uses the Asian Fusion set which I switched to Studio Style.

I love the clean, simple lines with a pop of color.

For a little thank you gift I filled the inside with Studio Style embellishments attached to an acetate sheet.   I left some extra room around the ribbon spool and button jar so they would be easier to color.

CRAFTy Easter Challenge

Hi all!  Hope you are having a great weekend.  Today I am posting a card  made for a challenge issued by Ted at Happily Ever Crafter.    The guidelines are to make an Easter project that incorporates elements which spell out C-R-A-F-T.

My elements are . . .

C-cardstock  R-rabbit  A-Almost Amethyst   F-flowers   T-twinkles

Ok, twinkles might be stretching it a bit but I think Ted will still let me participate :)

For the layout I cased a past CPS sketch.  There are three types of glitter elements.  The yellow and blue are cut from a glitter stack.  The bunny is outlined with the clear star Sakura gelly roll pen.  The amethyst color is glitter applied to a strip of scor tape.  I love this technique.  It is simple and adds a big punch.

Hope you are inspired to stop by Happily Ever Crafter and play along.

Pals Challenge 4

Jessica, one of the Papertrey Pals has issued our 4th Challenge. You can see the card sketch by clicking the pals link.  Below I created a "get your craft on card".

For the images I used two new Papertrey Ink  sets that I just adore!  The background stamps are from the versatile  Dot Spot. 

The sentiment and button jar come from Studio Style which is part of the playful & modern Raspberry Suite collection designed by Dawn McVey.  I used paper glaze on the jar to add some dimension and shine.  This is such a fun set to use!

Hope you enjoyed todays post and found some inspiration!

Pals Challenge 3

Since my last post, I issued the third Papertrey Pals challenge.  I asked everyone to find one of their older projects and rethink it.  What would they change now that they have become better stampers.  Below is my inspiration - one of my first cards.

This card was fun to make over.  I love the fairy stamp and coloring can be good for the soul!  This time around I added some dimension to the card by utilizing pattern paper and my spellbinder dies.

I added a little bling to the fairy with a Sakura Gel Pen after coloring her in with markers and colored pencils.  The patterned paper & yellow strip are from a glitter mat stack. 

I hope you all enjoyed your journey to the past and found some new appreciation for the growth you have made with your art.

Papertrey Pals Challenge #2

Our second Papertrey Pals challenge has been issued.  Liz D issued a ValenPallenge - we were to create any project that incorporated Valentine's & Sewing.  I love the look of sewing on cards but don't have a machine.  Instead,  I pierced the paper to make faux stitching.  This card was made for my DH.

First,  I embossed the background in a flourish pattern.  The heart is a glitter cardstock that is off set with a hand made black paper.  I peirced the flourish in red to expose the more mustard cardstock underneath. On the inside, to hide the stitching, I tore the black paper to create a jagged edge and then covered it with a torn strip of red.

Happily Ever Crafter #3 & Papertrey Feb Count Down Day 13

Hi all!  Today was a fun crafting day.  I had a Guest Star Stamper in my "studio" - my darling daughter!  She chose the theme, punched, cut, colored and sparkled.  We made a tag team card that does double duty on two challenges. 

Our first challenge comes from Ted at Happily Ever Crafter.  We were to create a project using only shades of green.  This was more difficult then I thought it would be but fun at the same time.  Especially since green is my favorite color!

The inside of this card fulfills the contest requirements for the Papertrey Ink anniversary countdown embellishment contest.  Nicole challenged us to design our own floral embellishments (not sure if clovers count as floral but I let my daughter pick so we went with it!).  After the embellishments were made, we created a card using it AND one acetate sheet of 4-6 of the embellishments to send to/share with a special stamping friend!  This was such a fun card to make and I would never have thought make a gift out of my card.

PTI day 7 contest

Papertrey Ink is having their 3rd Anniversary countdown which is full of contests and GREAT prizes. Today they are the sponsoring the sketch at CPS and all participants are challenged to use the layout to create a project. I decided to work on a Birthday card for my daughter to use for her bff. I got the Birthday graphic from Beth Siaika at Freckled and Fun. It is whimsical and just what I was looking for. I used stickles around the outside edge and a gelly roll pen to add sparkle to the candle. Hope you all enjoy looking.
