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 - Get Well Card

Today is Tuesday, and that can only mean one thing:

For this week the Theme was to create a

Get Well Card

I made my card using

Paper Doll Dress Up and

Life is a Beach.

My nephew is in the Navy and he

had to have surgery on his wrist

for bone spurs.  He is stationed

on a submarine in Hawaii!!

So this card was made for him!

The submarine was cut from Life is a Beach.

I used metallic cardstock.

The sailor was cut from Paper Doll Dress Up.

He is actually the Raggedy Andy cut!!

I used Peachy Keens Basic

Paper Dolls stamp set for the face.

I added some doodling with

a metallic gel pen.

I tore layers of paper for the water

and the sand, and inked the edges

I used glitter cardstock for the sand.

The sunset was added with chalk.

Sorry, but I do not recall which

cart the Get Well Soon is from!!

Here is a pic of my nephew.

Tyler, get well soon!!

Now, please be sure to check out

Now, on to my project for today.

I have to admit, this project was a total scraplift!!

I lifted this idea straight from page 22 & 23

of the Cricut Quick and Easy Idea book!!

CarrieAnne DeLoach from http://theserendipitousscrapper.blogspot.com/

had the most adorable gift bag with overalls for a little girl.

When I saw the bag I knew I could make the perfect

pair of boy overalls to match the theme of this hop!!

I used a small kraft gift bag, it is only about 8.5" high.

I inked it up with some Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink.

I cut the overalls from the Country Life Cartridge.

using Coordinations cardstock,

I stretched them with my gypsy so that they

are 4.6" wide x 11" high.

I ran them through the cuttlebug using this cute

checkered folder.  Then I sanding them a bit.

The red plaid paper is from DCWV

Dots and Stripes paper pack.

I adde some brads for buttons.

The fish and fishing pole were cut

from Just Because Cards at 8.6" high.

The grass was cut from

Martha Stewart All Occasions Cake Art.

This is my favorite grass to use!!

The Gone Fishin sentiment is from Life is a Beach.

I cut it at 3.10" h.  I cut the fish off that was part of the cut.

I hope you enjoyed my projects!!

The challenge this week over at Cricut 360 is "RELAX".  I made this card for a friend that retired who loves to read.  The books are from Everyday Paper Dolls, all other cuts are from Life is a Beach.  The background paper is from Close to My Heart, and the cardstock is Coordinations.  I used some stickles and glitter gel pen and the Relax is an epoxy sticker from my stash.

Thanks for Looking :)
