Challenge #37

CLAIRE of Hope and Dreams...

Congratulations Claire... be sure you grab the Weekly Winners Button in the right column.


I have been participating in the INSIDER class from Online Card Classes... These classes are so wonderful.  Even if you are unable to play along during the dates they have it 'officially' going, once you have enrolled in the class you can check back whenever you want to get inspired or watch how they did a card on their video over and over again.

Jennifer McGuire always amazes me with her water coloring.  So I gave it a try for the first time.  I tried it the 'Denine' method.. using whatever supplies I had, then I decided to go splurge for a water brush and some watercolor paper...oh my what a difference the right tools make.  hehehe.

This one is the 'Denine' Method.. lol

Anyhow, here is my project to share.  Hope you find some inspiration and try to water color also.  It really is a blast and so easy.. of course the more you do it.. the better you will get... At least that's what I am telling myself.

Inside of card with a pop out message... I water colored the leaves on it as well.

Here is the Leaf on the front up close.  I really enjoyed this technique.  

Supplies:

Water Coloring Paper from Hobby Lobby
Inks - Vintage Photo, Peeling Paint Tim Holtz and MPS Texas Chocolate
Papers - Solids: Bazill Dard Brown Suede, Double Dot  (?), Classic White
Patterned: Carta Bella - Traditions
Tim Holtz Water Brush (awesome tool)
Stamps - Sentiment is from an online stamp company..(?)
Leaf is from Inkadinkadoo


Be sure you go VOTE for your favorite project submission for Challenge #38 - Primary Colors

Have a wonderful weekend.

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with Heather - Card

Good morning! Heather here from Houses Built of Cards! I get to post here today! I had fun with some more Crate Paper, as well as a Unity Stamp set and a bunch of fun embellishments that you can find over at Shop Pumpkin Spice! You can find them all linked at the bottom of this post:

 I stamped this fun Unity Stamp jar on pattern paper, then fussy cut it out to adhere to my card. I stamped the hearts inside the jar, and spread a light layer of Stickles over the hearts to add a touch of sparkle. Also added a few enamel dots in the jar. 

My pattern papers are all from Crate Paper's Bo Bunny 6x6 paper pad, and I used a coordinating epoxy brad from the same collection on my jute twine bow.  

There is a bit of washi tape on there, as well as a doily tucked behind the center panel. I used Bazzil white cardstock for my cardbase - it is PERFECT for making card bases with!

Here are all the supplies used on this card, linked to the SPS store:

Crate Paper Little Bo Peep 6x6 Paper Pad - $4.20

Crate Paper Little Bo Peep Fabric and Epoxy Brads - $3.49

Jars of Love x3 Unity Stamp Set - $9.80

4" Doilies by Bo Bunny - $2.09

My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing "Together" Enamel Dots - $2.79

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with Denine - Card

Hello Crafters,

 

Denine here with a little inspiration.  I pulled out some papers from my stash to put this little cutie together.

I took my picture too late in the day, sorry it is a bit dark.

All of the patterned papers are from the "Follow Your Heart" - Be Happy paper pad.

The sweet cow is stamped on a piece of paper from the "Time for Spring" paper pad using the Moo-ey Doodles stamp set for both the cow and sentiment.

The flower is from my stash and then I used Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink to dye it the deep red. 

Hope you enjoy your weekend.  Be sure to stop by tomorrow for our next challenge and you still have time to submit your project for this week.  Click here for details.  The Challenge is for a project using a Faithful or Meaningful Sentiment.

Happy Friday!

Denine

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with Marlene - Card

Hello Everyone!

Marlene here from ScrappinCookie!

I'm happy to be here today to share a quick card  I made using just a few of the products you can find at the ShopPumpkinSpice Store.

My card uses papers from the Echo Park Sweet Day 6x6 Paper Pad. I love the floral pattern and the texture of the papers in this Echo Park Paper Pad and for $4.19 at the ShopPumpkinSpice Store - its a MUST HAVE!

I made a quick Paper Rosette from Bazzill Kraft Cardstock using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Rosette Die. Using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Rosette Die is SOO MUCH easier than scoring every 1/4" - DEFINITLY recommend it. I then stamped the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on to Carta Bella's Natural White Linen Cardstock. I just have to tell you that Carta Bella's Natural White Linen Cardstock has become my FAVORITE and GO TO cardstock!! I just LOVE the texture, its just PERECT - even for stamping!!

I love adding small mulberry paper roses to my cards. For today's card I used a small cluster of  Prima Mulberry Rose- love that they have a touch of gold on the petals.

As a final touch a tied some twill ribbon I had in my stash and added a small bow made from  "Cappuccino" Baker's Twine with a small blue button.

I hope you have enjoyed my ShopPumpkinSpice Inspiration! ALL products used in my card can be found at the ShopPumpkinSpice Store.

Some Pumpkin Spice Daily Inspiration from Cheryl– Card

Hello! This is Cheryl.  For my project today, I created a card that fits the current Pumpkin Spice challenge, “Time”. We would love to see your project with either a word or element that implies time.

I have to admit I was a bit stumped by the challenge at first. I could only think of clocks and watches, but I didn’t have any stamps that would fit. I finally had my “Ah ha!” moment and thought about looking up a quote about time. I found this quote from John Lennon that I really liked and the idea for my card grew from there and these beautiful Pebbles Inc. papers.

 

 

I love these new papers from Pebbles, Inc. The colors are so bright and cheery, I had to use them to chase away the spring gloom we have right now. I love each of the 18 patterns (2 pages of each) included in the 6x6 pad.

 

 

I hope this helps to inspire you to think out of the box and create a project for our “Time” challenge. You can link up your project and find the challenge details HERE.

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you have a fabulous day and have the chance to waste some time doing something you enjoy.

Supplies:

• Stamps & inks – none
• Papers: Family Ties 6x6 paper pad, Bazzill Basics card stock
• Tools: Big Shot, Spellbinders Circle Nestabilities, Papertrey banner basics die, Fiskars & EK Success edge punches
• Embellishments: Burlap, The Twinery Lemondrop baker’s twine, misc. buttons

Happy Thursday Everyone!

Denine of A Day with a Paper Addict here to share a card with you.

Today is our adorable Saundra's typical day, but she is having some issues with the internet, poor thing!

Can you imagine life without the internet or our smart phones or any of those gadgets that keeps us connected ALL DAY!  lol  I think I would call that a VACATION!

Anyhow, I tried to put together a 'Saundra' worthy project today and this is what I came up with.

I am a paper addict, so most of the time I just like to layer papers.  No stamps on this one.

I used Stella & Rose Little Lady Posies with Indie Chic Citron Time Honeydew and LOVED IT!  They work great together picking up the colors of both collections.

For the card base I used the Bazzill Bon Bon Criss Cross paper.  Another of my 'go to' papers for layering and bases.  Then I used the word stickers from The Sweetest Thing - Honey Perfect.  As soon as I saw this sticker... "What A Day"... i knew that was it.  Then I found this cute little mini clothes pin in my stash and put some Washi Tape from Indie Chic over just the top. Wrapped the card with some white crinkle ribbon.  Oh and I distressed the edges with a pair scissors.

Here is the inside:

 and the coordinating sticker to finish it off the sentiment.

Here is a close up of the clothes pin with the washi tape over the top.  Perfect match to the orange in the Stella & Rose paper.

There is still one more day to link up to the Saturday Challenge - Green and 4 of something.  We love to visit your blogs and see the projects you post, so come join in the fun.

Have a wonderful day playing with paper.
