My crafty weekend

I have had one super crazy busy week and really needed to get my craft on and was fortunate that Miss K went to visit her friend today so found myself with plenty of ‘me’ time to play.

I made a card for WWC145 – Judy’s Masculine “Anything Goes” Challenge  This was a fabulous challenge to participate in, as I struggle making masculine cards and needed some inspiration.

My card is a hybrid digital/stamped card. I used an old Stampin Up digital image ‘Extreme surfboard’ that I printed onto a card piece I’d sponged with Stampin Up soft sky and island indigo inks, then added some water drops to simulate the look of the surf. The sentiment is from Altenew ‘Birthday bash’ and the black and white DSP is a left-over piece I had lying around.WWC145.jpg

My next card is inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #313 – A Sketch by Karren and uses a stamp set (best in you) and inks (melon ice, lime rickey, grass skirt, tiara, tiki torch, orange twist and black jack) from Catherine Pooler Designs.

My next card is inspired by three challenges:

I followed the Bow/Elegant/Heat Emboss line of the Tic Tac Toe challenge and I really like how this card came out. The bow is made using the Stampin Up Bow maker punch with some white glimmer paper. The aqua piece was sponged with Ranger Peacock feathers distress oxide ink over the heat embossed snow flake from Kanban. I used Stampin Up iridescent ice embossing powder, the close up really shows how much it sparkles.

My last card for this long Sunday post is all about circles and I’m entering it into the current Seize the Birthday challenge. I think it might also suit the AAA Cards Celebrate challenge.

I ended up making 2 cards using this design, 1 for a birthday and 1 for Christmas.

I used products from Stampin Up for both cards. Card 1 – Pool party cardstock and ink, Sycamore Street DSP and enamel dots. The sentiment is from Mama Elephant ‘make a wish’. Card 2 – Pear pizzaz cardstock and ink, Season of cheer DSP & Brights enamel dots with the sentiment from The Ton ‘mistletoe kisses’

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

  5. My goodness, Tristan, what a wonderful collection of cards! That surfer dude is awesome! Love the colouring of the water. You’ve definitely managed to give a look of real surf, especially with the splashes of water. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.

  13. Trying to make a card similar to your circle cards. Do you have the sizes of circles? Do you recommend punch or dies? I need to buy some and not sure what’s best!
    Thank you

  17. Love your circle card. Looking for ideas for residents at a small option home to complete. Can you tell me the dimensions of your card and size of circles. Love to case this and make card kits for them to complete

    1. Tx Mary. From memory the base is 30×10.5cm folded in half. 1st layer 14×9.5cm. 2nd layer 13.5x9cm. Circles are made with my punches in2”, 1 1/2” and 1”. You may need to experiment with the circles if they don’t look right
