Let's Craft and Create Challenge #199 AG + Use Strips Instead of Ribbon

 


Hard to believe that September is here already. It's time for a new challenge over at Let's Craft and Create. The challenge this month is of course Anything Goes with the Option to use Strips instead of Ribbon.

I started with an orange card base cut, scored and folded to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" landscaped card. My pattern paper is from Echo Park Fall Fun 6" X 6" paper pad. I cut my plaid paper to 4" X 5 1/4" and adhered it to my card base with liquid adhesive.

I cut my paper strips using the A2 Stitched Strip dies from Kat Scrappiness. I used 2 different sizes and some scraps from another Echo Park Fall paper pad. I adhered those to the card front with liquid adhesive.

My yellow patterned paper is cut to 2 1/2" X 3 1/4". I added some thin foam tape to the back before adhering it to the front of the card. I then added some stickers to the panel from the Fall Fun sticker sheet. To finish it up I added 3 dark chocolate pearls in the upper right hand corner of the yellow panel.

Now, I hope you will head on over to the Let's Craft and Create blog and checkout all the other inspiration from the design team. Then link up your project. Hope to see you there.

BYSH Cardmakers August Sketch #36 Challenge.

 


Today I have my second inspiration project for the August challenge over at BYSH Cardmakers.

For my project, I decided to turn the sketch and make a landscape card. I followed the sketch but adjusted the measurements of the strips beneath the image.  Here is a look at the original sketch.


My pattern papers are from the Doodlebug 6" X 6" Candy Cane Lane paper pad. My images are from the sticker sheet and my sentiment is a sentiment strip also from the paper pad.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you can pay BYSH Cardmakers a visit and checkout all the other projects by the Design Team. Then head over to our Facebook Group to add your project.

Kat Scrappiness Collaboration Hop to Celebrate the Farmhouse Collection Release

 


I'm so excited to be collaborating with some of my teammates from both the @katscrappiness Creative Crew and Influencer teams! We are coming together to celebrate the latest release to hit the shop. Hop along and check out all the amazing projects and inspiration featuring the Farmhouse collection and some new dies and papers! There's also still time to enter our giveaway and shop the special Flash sale that ends tonight! Check out this video on the Kat Scrappiness YT channel to learn more - https://youtu.be/wsMogiwKLr4

For my project I used pattern paper from the Farmhouse 6X6 paper pad. My card is a standard A2 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card. My pattern paper was cut to 4" X 5 1/4". I stamped my images from the Farmhouse Stamps set and colored them with my alcohol markers. I then used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

Next I took a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock and used the Mini Slimline Never Ending dies to cut a black mat and my cardstock down. Great way to stretch your supplies. I then used the Scene Builders stencil with some Distress Oxide inks to create my little scene. I added some splatters to the scene using some of the new White Gold Pearl powder that I mixed with a little water. Once dry I adhered my table and sunflower bouquet to my scene.

I used the Farmhouse Sentiments and coordinating dies to stamp and die cut my sentiment. I adhered that below the table. Finally I added a few of the Clear AB Glass Bubbles to my panel. I then used some foam tape to pop up my panel in the center of my card.

Let's Craft and Create Challenge #198 AG - Use Polka Dots and/or Stripes

 


Wow time sure is zipping by. It's time for a new challenge over at Let's Craft and Create. Challenge #198 starts today 

. The challenge is Anything Goes with the option to us Polka Dots and/or Stripes. I decided to use both.

I started with heavyweight white cardstock cut, scored and folded to make a standard 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" A2 card base. I chose pattern papers from a MFT 6" X 6" paper pad.

I cut the polka dotted pattern paper to 4" X 5 1/4" and matted it with some lilac card stock cut to 4 1/8" X 5 3/8".I adhered those together and add them to my card base using liquid adhesive.

I found my image in the Silhouette Design Store, printed it and cut it out after sizing to 3 1/4" high.

I used the largest die in the Hello Bluebird nesting half circle dies to cut my diagonal striped paper. I turned it on its side and adhered my birthday gnome to the pattern paper. I popped it up with some foam tape and attached it to the card front.

I stamped my sentiment with some Hero Arts Orchid ink on a scrap of white cardstock using the Honeybee Stamps Birthday Wishes stamps and dies.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you will head over to Let's Craft and Create and check out the great projects by the rest of the Design Team and then link up your project.

Now it's time for a new challenge at BYSH Cardmakers using Sketch #36. Here is a look at the sketch.

This is my project using the sketch.


I used pattern paper from my stash for this card. I used some white glitter cardstock and some gold metallic cardstock for the small strips across the card and the poinsettias center dots. I die cut the poinsettia from some of the white glitter cardstock. 

I gold heat embossed my sentiment on my green cardstock mat. The sentiment is from the Taylored Expressions Modern Holiday Sentiments stamp set. I popped up my poinsettia with a small foam square above my sentiment.

Now it's your turn. Head over to the BYSH Cardmakers Blog to check out all the inspiration projects. Then post your project using the sketch in our Facebook Group. Easy as that.

BYSH Cardmakers Christmas in July Linky Party Day 6

 



Welcome to day 6 of the BYSH Cardmakers Christmas in July Linky Party. My project today is just a fun card featuring Christmas cookies. My card is a standard A2 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" heavyweight white cardstock base.  I added a red mat cut to 4 1/8" X 5 3/8" behind my pattern paper which is cut to 4" X 5 1/4".  I used a die from the Spellbinders Essential Modern Ovals Etch Dies to cut my red pattern paper.

I found this Christmas tree cookie image in Design Space and cut it with my Cricut Maker 3. I added some red and green gems to decorate my tree. The pattern paper is some from my stash.

A pretty quick card for today. I hope you will head on over to the BYSH Cardmakers blog and link up your project for a chance to win one of the awesome prizes from our sponsors. Thanks for stopping by.
