STS24: masculine card

Played along with the new Seize the Sketch Challenge and made a masculine card.

I intend to use it as a birthday card.  

The papers and stickers are all leftovers from the Simple Stories "Urban Traveler"

 line I had used for our vacation last year.  

 

The green panel was cut using the Lawn Fawn stitched journaling die.

The little red letter stickers are from Cosmo Cricket.

STS#23: Baby Card

Playing along with the Seize the Sketch Challenge #23.

I used the sketch to make a welcome baby card.

I flipped the sketch side-ways and used a rectangle back panel rather then the oval.

 

The paper and stickers are all from Echo Park "Bundle of Joy" collection.

The back pink panel was cut with the Stitched Journaling Die by Lawn Fawn.

Couple weeks left to get cards in for my Card Drive for Emma. 

Drawing for prizes at the end of July!

Skylander B-day card

 Needed a birthday card for a 9 year old boy.  This CAS(e) this Sketch #81 sketch challenge popped up so I used it to get the ideas flowing.  

I just used the sketch for the FUSION challenge. 

I took the Skylander image from the brand website and printed it on heavy cardstock.

 The banner was cut by hand while the stars came from my

 Lawn Fawn Journaling die set.

Hi there.

Sharing a sympathy themed card I made for someone.

Used the sketch from Seize the Sketch #18.

I used a stamp set from Simon Says Stamp.  

Those little yellow centers are melted Perle beads.

Melted them for about +/- 25 minutes for 320 degrees on parchment paper. 

Thanks to THIS post for the tips. 

 I had tried it at a higher temperature and failed.  Low and Slow!

STS#1: Good Times!

Played along with the sketch from Seize the Sketch.

It is a new sketch challenge!

I was inspired by the invitation below to create a background out of distress inks.

I started with a white panel and blended the inks to create a cotton candy look.

The stripes on the sketch were made with washi tape.

Rather than the star, I stamped the Lawn Fawn camera and colored with with Copics.  Then, I cut it out and adhered it with dimensional foam.

I added the wood veneer bubble for fun.  I used distress ink to color it.

I used three different stamp companies on the inside

 (Paper Smooches, Lawn Fawn and Simon Says Stamp)

 Here was the invite for the party:
