Sketch Saturday #721 – Opt twist use an embossing folder

Hello there, it’s time for another Sketch Saturday Challenge and do we have a great sketch for you!

For my card I used an embossing folder by Cuttlebug ‘Filigree’ for my background. I then decided to use some white satin ribbon for the verticle stripe in the sketch and the bow became one of the squares. The other square I used for my sentiment.

AAA Cards #235 – Along the Edge opt Ink Blending

Hello there, it’s time for another challenge over at AAA Cards and do we have a great theme for you!

I went with the optional twist for my card, ink blending Altenew inks in purple wine, puffy heart, rose quartz and blush. I then lifted some of the ink through the Tim Holtz Scribbles stencil. The sentiment is from Uniquely Creative.

Just Add Ink #642 – Sketch

Hello there, it’s time for another Just Add Ink Challenge and do we have a great theme for you!

I love a good sketch and this one really got my creative juices flowing. I decided to make a masculine card and left the sentiment off as I felt it would compromise the overall design. I use a digital hipster image and coloured him with my Stampin Blends. I fussy cut some sunglasses to give him a bit more sass and then popped him up over some layered squares and striped DSP.

AAA Birthday #47 – Stripes and/or Dots

Hello there, it’s time for a new challenge over at AAA Birthday and do we have a great theme for you!

This was a perfect challenge for me to use up some of my DSP scraps (dots and stripes – zig zags are stripes too aren’t they?) using my 1″ circle punch! I created the sentiment on my PC and die cut the circle panel for a bit of interest along the edges.

Sketch Saturday #720 – Opt twist feature an animal image

Hello there, it’s time for another Sketch Saturdays Challenge and do we have a great sketch for you!

I thought this sketch was perfect for a shaker card. I die cut 2 squares and 1 recatangle from some black cardstock, popped it up with dimensionals, added some transparency film behind, then filled it with a variety of coloured stars. I then added the cutest little coloured pig I had in my stash along with a sentiment.

Hello there, it’s time for another challenge over at AAA Cards and do we have a great theme for you!

Just Add Ink #640 – Just Add a Surprise!

Hello there, it’s time for another Just Add Ink Challenge and do we have a great theme for you!

Now I wasn’t sure what I’d be making or how to include a surprise, so did a bit of looking through my inspiration notebooks I’ve been keeping and landed on some instructions for a card with a pop up gift card holder inside that I came across on YouTube – I think that fits the ‘surprise’ bill.

I used Stampin up DSP ‘Favored Flowers and Calypso Coral card stock. The sentiment is from Technique Junkies ‘SDX077’.

Sketch Saturday #719 – Opt twist use an old stamp

Hello there, it’s time for another Sketch Saturday Challenge and do we have a great sketch for you!

For this challenge, I didn’t go with the optional twist, I actually used a new to me stamp from Stampin Up called ‘Pretty Medallion’ which I coloured with my Stampin Blends in granny apple green, parakeet party, flirty flamingo and fresh freesia. The sentiment is from Uniquely Creative.

You can see I used the medallion in place of the circle and the sentiments in place if the diagonal stripes in the sketch. I decided not to add the scalloped edge to the base of my card as I didn’t want it to distract from my medllion which already has plenty of scallopy edges.

Just Add Ink #638 – Just Choose 2 – Candles/Cake/Celebration

Hello there, it’s time for another Just Add Ink Challenge and do we have a great theme for you!

I decided to make a 3D project using all 3 options – cake (die cut box), candles (die cut on the top of the cake) and celebration (birthday greetings). I used some puffy paint to look like the icing on the cake and some ribbon to seal the box up.
