Card Creating Tuesday - Sketch

Hello all my crafty friends!!

Today is the last week of June, and my

final sketch.  Let me tell, you this one had

to be the hardest!!  When I saw this sketch, I thought

OMG, I have to make a waterfall card!!

Well I have never made a waterfall or for that fact

any other special type of card. (easel, gate fold, etc.)

So what was I gonna do???  Well to the web of course!!

My first and only stop was Splitcoast Stampers.

If you have never been to this site, you need to check

it out!!  There are all kinds of tutorials.

Here is the one that I used:

http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/waterfall_card

At first it looked intimidating, but it ended up being pretty easy

and I am thrilled with the results!!

Here is the sketch:

And here is a sneak peek of my card!!

These sunglasses were cut at .70" from Forever Young.

I added some gems in the corner and

glossy accents to the lenses.

Next, the bathing suit was cut

from Nifty Fifties at 3.40"

I placed each piece on a seperate panel.

Lastly the flip flops are from

Life is a Beach cut at 2".

All the paper except the card base is from

my scrap pile.  The adorable paper used on the

card base is Imaginisce Makin' Waves.

This paper is so cute, and I was lucky enough to

recieve a few sheets, in a recent order from

Erica's Craft Room Store

The sentiment is from K Andrew's Splastastic Summer

I stamped it on to A Spellbinders Classic Large Square.

Here is a quick video showing the action!!

Boy is it hard to record with your phone and

pull the tab on a waterfall card...LOL!!

(man my hands look old...LOL)

I hope you enjoyed my card as

much as I enjoyed making it!!

Card Creating Tuesday - Sketch

So, for today, I have a very simple card for you.

As I indicated last week, for this month,

I signed up for the sketch each week.

I am trying to expand my style...LOL

Here is the sketch we were to use today

This was a very simple card.

The only Cricut cut is the brown

frame piece in the middle.

This was cut using George and Basic Shapes.
I wanted to keep it plain because it is for my husband.
With Father's Day and his birthday both on
Sunday, I needed a couple of cards.
He likes to wear hats, so I thought
this was perfect for him!!

The darling little hat is a die cut

from My Creative Time's

newest release called

"Here's Looking at You".

The sentiment is from the same set.

The background paper is DCWV "Green Tea" Stack.

The ribbon is from my stash.

Thanks for looking and please make sure

design team made today at

Card Creating Tuesday - Sketch

Hello, my crafty friends!!

This month I decided to challenge myself!!

I get in a rut and seem to use the same

design for my cards.  So this month

I decided to sign up for the

sketch challenge each week!!

This first sketch was really a challenge!!

After seeing this sketch, the first thing I thought of was

bubbles.  But then, I was looking through the stuff I

recently got from out wonderful leader Erica,

and I came across these stickers, there are only a few left!!:

Once I saw these stickers,

I knew exactly what I wanted to do.

Here is a sneak peak:

 

For today's card, I used the following cartridges:

Card Base - Elegant Edges

Banner - CCR Party Picks & Pennants

Donuts - Love You a Latte

Slumber Party

Sweet Shop

Most of the paper is Coordinations

The background paper is Best Creations

I also used stickles for the sprinkles!!

For the donut in the right bottom corner, I wanted

it to look like a sugar donut.  So I ran it through my

Xyron face down, and then covered it with

fine glitter.

 

Can you see where I used the stickers??

The sentiment is perfect, don't you think...LOL

It is from My Pink Stamper

"Sweetest Cupcakes" stamp set.

I stamped it then embossed it

using Pink Zing Glitter Embossing Powder.

 

I added some crinkle ribbon from

My Craft Spot in Pink Bubblegum. 

I also embossed with the

Cuttlebug Spots and Dots Folder.

I hope you like my card as much

as I liked making it.

(it would be better if I could eat the donuts...LOL)

So for this month's blog hop, I chose

 to use the following cartridges:

Baby Steps, Campin' Critters and Doodlecharms.

For my first project, I used Baby Steps.

I wanted to make a non-baby

card using this cartridge.

I decided to use the stars from page 49

to make a patriotic card.

The stars were cut at 1", 1.5" & 2".

All the paper is from my stash.

I used the Cuttlebug "Stars" folder to emboss

the white background paper as well as the

cardstock cards.  I added Gems that

I got from Erica to the center of each star.

The sentiment is from Close to My Heart

"Shining Star" stamp set.

I used Zing embossing powder,

and added ribbon from my stash.

I am entering this card in this week's

challenge at FCCB

 

My next card was made using Campin' Critters.

The snake and all layers were cut

at 4" from page 43.  I used various

papers from my stash.

I embossed the light green layer using

the Cuttlebug "Tiny Bubble"

embossing folder on the light green layer.

The sentiment is from K. Andrews

 "All About Animals" stamp set. 

I stamped and embossed it using

Zing Embossing Powder.

The card base was cut using the sign feature.

The one I chose is from page 69.

The base and layer were cut at 5.6".

The paper is from Imaginise "Happy Campers" line.

I added twine in 3 different colors

and a little Distress Ink in Wild Honey.

I am entering this card in the

Emboss It Challenge over at:

Little Scrap Pieces

For my final card today, I used an oldie but a goodie!!

Doodlecharms.

This cartridge is filled with cute and fun images

for any and all occasions!

I chose to use the popcicle from page 97.

I cut 3 of them and the layer at 2"

The melting drops are acutally raindrops cut

at 1.5" from Pooh & Friends.

I stamped the faces from

Peachy Keens May Stamp of the Month.

The background paper is from DCWV

"Sweet" matstack, and Coordinations.

I covered the popcicles with Glossy Accent

to give them a shiny look.

I also added Stickles in

Orange Peel, Cotton Candy and Eucalyptus

to make it look like the popcicle was melting.

I cut a chunk from the green popcicle,

with decorative scissors, as if

someone had taken a bite out of it!

That's why he is crying!!

 I finished off my card with a tag from Spellbinders

"Grommet Tags" die set.  The sentiment is from

Pink by Design "Simply Everything" stamp set.

I embossed is using Zing Embossing powder.

I attached the tag using some twine.
