Challenge #15 "Say it in Words"

Say it in Words

Challenge #15 is sponsored by Stamp and Create. Take a look at this tutorial it was what I used as a guide for the card I created.This design was definitely not something I would have come up with on my own, just another great thing about being a part of Scrapbook Blessings Club, getting to try new ideas and learn new things! Now I have a pretty new card to add to my stash (one of my goals for this year!)!

Give it a try whatever your interpretation of the tutorial is we would love to see it and you could be the big winner! Enter challenge here.

Supplies:

• Rub on images (sorry they were in my stash not sure where I got them)
• White cardstock (Georgia Pacific)
• On the inside I used a post it note for the center spot to write my memo on
• Brown cardstock base for card 
• I used my corner chomper to round the corners
• ATG gun to adhere the card front and the post it note

SBC Challenge #14 Punches Galore

Hi All! 

The Design Team is sharing new ways to use punches over at Scrapbook Blessings Club. They have a great tutorial posted on the blog to get you started. The digi stamp I chose from Meljen’s Designs was this adorable birdhouse that I used on my card. My sister in law is still getting settled into her home and I wanted to send her a little note to let her know I’m thinking of her. This little image is perfect! All the design team members will be using an image from Meljen’s Designs go over and check it out then get your craft on! 

Supplies:

• cardstock for base of card (chocolate brown which I covered up with the card front) 
• Bugzie from Around the Block is the patterned paper with the little bugs, butterflies, etc that I used for the background
• I used one of my Martha Stewart border punches to get the flower border 
• I used a Pearl Pen from Viva Decor to add the little yellow center
• I colored my image with Letraset Promarkers 
• the little green pearl flourish is from Zva Creative
• you would really have to be able to hold the card yourself to see it but I also used washi tape under the flower border so that the border would stand out better
• pop dot pieces to pop up the flower border so that it would give some depth to the card

Come join the fun and enter your creation for a chance to win!  (link provided up at the top) ;) !

This is what I made for the challenge it is the very first time I have ever made an Easel Card. I followed this tutorial to make it. OMG! was it easy to make and fun...now I wanna make more, everyone I know might get an easel card for the rest of the year ;)  I will try to reign myself in...maybe!

Supplies:

•  1 piece of 12x12 cardstock of your color choice
• image is from Penny Black "Fairy Holly"
• colored with Letraset Promarkers
• black bling swirly from Sva Creations
• flowers from Prima
• patterned paper in background on the front of card and matting the sentiment is from MME's Christmas 6x6 paper pad
• black with white polka dotted strip in the background and on the inside of the card are washi tape!
• not sure where the sentiment came from it's been in my stash for years
• stickled it up with diamond stickles
• used Glossy Accents on the snow globe so it would look like glass

Is That Christmas Paper!?!

I am taking on this week's challenge from Cuttin'and Stampin' and the challenge is to use Christmas Paper in a non traditional, non Christmas way. I am currently working on building my card stash so I decided to make a birthday card. It just worked out that the paper I wanted to use would go super cute with the image I wanted to use as well (love it when things come together!).

  

The paper that I used for the background is from the Holly Jolly {with glitter} paper back from the Paper Studio which I purchased from Hobby Lobby a couple of years ago.

The image that I colored is Sugar n' Spice Marci from La la land Crafts, if you are not familiar with them they offer digi stamps and rubber stamps, I have a mix of both it just depends on how impatient I am! ;) I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored it in with Letraset Promarkers.

I used pink paper from my stash I think it came from a huge pack of Costco that I bought about seven to eight years ago and I am still trying to go through it. I used a Martha Stewart border punch to punch out the little flower borders and then I inked them up with Chestnut Roan cats eye.

I punched out the little design for the sentiment with an EK Success punch. The stamp set I used for the sentiments on the front and on the inside of the card come from Amy R Stamps Sweet Sentiments. 

 I used Stickles on her bow, her apron and the little heart on the cupcake. I also use my white Jelly Roll pen from Sekura to lighten up the whites of her eyes. I then use Glossy Accents by Inkssentials to place on her eyes and her lips to make them glossy. I'm sure I saw it in a video and I really liked the effect it created.

Does this happen to any of y'all? This card was supposed to go toward building my stash of cards to be able to pull from later, but as soon as I was finished with it I thought of a friend to give it to and her birthday is like next week. I am so glad that I thought of her but I never seem to be able to get ahead, that is a goal for me this year. I need a stash of cards to be able to pull from!

Keep on crafting,

Kimmy
