SCS Color Challenge

Good Morning Everyone! It feels great to get my stamps out again and create.

Today Color Challenge on SCS was Blue Bayou, Soft Sky and Real Red. I used my Priceless stamp set with the same ink as card stock.

The card is simple but cute. Hope you like it.

Weekend Sketch Challenge 36

Here is my card for this weekend's sketch challenge. I actually put this card together a few days ago. For the first time, I knew the colors and stamps I would use right when I saw the layout! Check out Beate's blog to join in on the fun!

I used Background Basics and Pun Fun. The card stock is Kraft, Blue Bayou, and Rust. I added a few gold brads and some Twill Tape. The cup is embossed with Clear EP using Versamark Ink. The card is simple but I love it. Plus anyone that knows me understands how I feel about coffee!!

Have a great Monday. And don't forget to leave your comment for the 5000 Hit Giveaway today!

Color and Sketch Challenge

I didn't have time to complete the SCS Color Challenge on Monday but I really wanted to try it. So today when I saw the Sketch Challenge, I put them both together.

Who would have thought to use Pumpkin Pie, Certainly Celery and Orchard Opluent together? I certainly would not. But it looks great. The stamp set I used is Merci, one of the Sale-A-Bration sets. My Stampin' Pastels and a Blender Pen did the trick for the color. The base of the card is Kraft. Versamark was used for the background stamps. Cute, cute! And I know just the person who is going to receive this card.

Enjoy!

Wild About You - Weekend Sketch Challenge 35

When I saw this weekend's sketch challenge on Beate's blog, I knew it would make the perfect card for my great-nephew's birthday in March.

The Wild About You stamp set makes a fun card for kids of all ages. I saw this color combo in the new Mini Catalog that will be coming out shortly and really liked it. Real Red, Blashful Blue, Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla is what I used with matching ink. It was a simple, fun card to put together.

Enjoy!

Weekend Sketch Challenge 30

Let me start by saying, this is not my favorite card I've ever created! Actually, I'm still not sure I even like it.
This card was created to participate in Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge. I used all colors from the In Color family. And I also used my Eastern Elegant Rub-Ons. The stamp set is Time Well Spent. It is a level 3 Hostess set.

That is about all I have to say about this card!

Easy, Fun Cards

Beate had a Be Inspired Challenge on her blog so I decided to give it a try. You could use the colors, the design, or both. I really like both of these cards and the way they came out. Hope they inspire you to get your stamps out today.

For this card, I used new Eastern Elegance Rub-Ons. These are so easy to use and really add some different to your projects. If need something new to try, give these a whirl. This paper i s the retired Apple Cider Designer Series Paper. There were a couple of sheets left over so I used them up. The card base is Kraft CS for both cards. Did you notice that I didn't use any stamps on this card?

Again, I used some retired DS paper, Darling Doodles. The stamp set is Be Happy. I really like this set. I added some Chocolate Chip wide grosgrain ribbon and my card was done. These colors work so well together.

Enjoy!

Are Three Challenges Better Than One?

I've been wanting to do the Color Challenge and the today's Limited Supplies Challenge on SplitCoast. Then I saw Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge and knew I wouldn't have time to do all three. So I decided to combine them all into one challenge!

The Color Challenge was to use Real Red, Taken with Teal and Certainly Celery. Limited Supplies was to not use white or vanilla on your card. And Beate's Sketch can be viewed on her blog. Here is what I came up with.

I used Embrace Life stamp set and some black brads. I used the paper piercing tool to make the holes around the Celery Card Stock. The Real Red background is embossed with clear embossing powder. I don't love the Grey flower but I couldn't use white!

Have a great weekend.

Weekend Sketch Challenge 28

Since was making a card for a good friend of mine, I figured I would use the Sketch Challenge as my layout. Beate's Blog has some really cute samples. Mine is very close to Beate's design except I changed the paper. When I put this card together, it was late last night. I think my creativity was already sleeping!

The Wintergreen paper is great to use for all occassions not just Christmas. I really like the colors in this paper.

Recipe:

Stamps: Simply Said

Ink: Basic Black, Always Artichoke

Paper: Wintergreen DS paper, Always Artichoke, Whisper White, Soft Sky
