5 Cards for 5 Challenges

Finally some cooler weather after the super hot week we’ve had, which I took advantage of to get crafty.

Today I’ve played along with 5 different challenges.

First up is Freshly Made Sketches #718. I flipped the sketch and folded over some burlap DSP to form a pocket for my tag. I added a die cut flower from the Stampin Up ‘Hand penned petals’ die set with a sentiment from Uniquely Creative over the top of a strip of stampin Up ‘Sweater weather’ DSP.

Next is a card for the Global Design Project #529, which is a great colour combo challenge. I used strips of the challenge colour and stamped one of the floral images over the top from the stampin Up ‘Dainty Delight’ stamp set.

Next is a card for the Paper Craft Crew #655, which is a great sketch. I used a couple of DSP panels, the sentiment from Stampin Up ‘Charming sentiments’, a couple of glossy dots and an unknown die for the frame.

Next is a card for the Little Red Wagon #840. Their key word is NEW.  I used a new technique on my card – a bow fold. I used some DSP from Stampin Up ‘First Frost’ which has beautiful images on both sides and works really well for this technique. The sentiment is from Uniquely Creative, along with some pink twine ans pastel pearls.

Lastly is a card for Just Us Girls #805 – Encouragement. For my background, I inked up the inside of the woodgrain embossing folder before I ran it through my Big Shot. I then added two DSP panels from my scrap stash and two die cut circles for my sentiment. I stamped, coloured (Flirty Flamingo and Pool Party) one of the flowers from the Stampin Up ‘Memorable Blooms’ stampset. I added some enamel dots and die cut leaves and the card was done.

Well that’s it for a very productive day. Thanks for stopping by . Enjoy the rest of your weekends.
