9/10/2020 - Freshly Made Sketch - Thank You So Very Much

Happy Thursday! Today’s card is using Freshly Made Challenge Sketch. I decided to go with the butterfly theme cards. The coloring is done using Stampin’ Markers and the colors I picked are all from the Ornate Garden DSP. Did you see the Whisper White Cardstock layering underneath? I stamped the sentiment on that cardstock and put a layer of the DSP on top to save some paper, neat eh?! The sentiment is using the new dies I purchased and to make it fit with the wording, the 2^nd time I ran it, I align the dies again to make the box smaller! I hope enjoy this card.

9/8/2020 - Try Stampin' On Tuesday - Christmas Cheers

Happy Tuesday – I decided to do another challenge today at Try Stampin’ Or Not On Tuesday. After seeing the DT cards, I wanted to use this sketch to make a Christmas card. I use the Coming Home dies to create the stripe for the scene and color it in with Stampin’ Blends, hopefully you can see the shading of the trees. The house is actually from the Designer Series Paper itself and just die cut it. I also added some Self-Adhesive Snowflakes. I really like how clean and simple this card turned out. Hope you enjoy it as well.

9/9/2020 - Cardz 4 Guyz #253 Monochrome - Here's To You

Welcome back to another week of challenge here at Cardz 4 Guyz and this week we are making Monochrome card. To tell you the truth, I have NEVER made a monochrome card and this is the first time so I am excited to give it a try. I decided to use one of the current SU In-Colors, Soft Seafoam and the DSP. I also used the coordinating SU markers and color in some of the images I stamped in. The card turned to be quite simple and clean and I really liked it. I hope you enjoy the card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge.

9/7/2020 - TGIF Challenge & CAS(E) this Sketch - Thanks

 Happy Labor Day! Today’s card is using 2 challenges – CASE this Sketch and TGIF (color) challenge. I don’t really have Pear Pizzazz so I decided to go with Old Olive. I didn’t really have to do much with it as I just let the stamp set do the work and added a sentiment . The outline of the floral is using Soft Suede, I think it gives a softer look compare to Basic Black. This will probably go to one of my customer! I hope you enjoy this quick card today.

 Yeah – it’s FRIDAY! Today’s card is using Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. I cut down the DSP to 1”, ¾” and one more in between and adhere them onto the Whisper White Cardstock. The sunflower image is color with Stampin’ Blends as well as Stampin’ Markers. The sketch made me use my newly purchased dies so that’s always a plus! Hope you enjoy this card I am sharing today!

9/2/2020 - Tuesday Morning Sketches - Your Kindness

 Happy Hump Day – Today’s card is using Tuesday Morning Sketches! When I saw the sketch, I knew I want to use Flowering Blooms and die cut out some images to color. I used Stampin’ Blends to color in the flowers and I used a big background stamp with Gray Granite. I wasn’t sure how I want to display the sentiment but decided to cut around the word and I think it turns out pretty good. I hope you enjoy this card I am sharing today

9/2/2020 - The Paper Funday Challenge - AMB Illustrations: Anything Goes with Twist: Fall - Here's To You

 Welcome back to another month here at The Paper Funday Challenge – for September, our sponsor is AMB Illustrations: Anything Goes with Twist : Fall /Autumn. The image I picked out is a fun airplane image. Instead of making a little boy’s card, I decided to go with a girly theme/colors, because a girl can be a fan of airplane too, right?! I used the Stampin’ Up Markers to color in the image and die cut out with a scalloped frame. I also added some background image to give it more interest. I hope you enjoy this card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge.
