Have a fantastic long weekend!

Creative Card Challenge 008

Ok, well I am already doing better at this blog thing... two posts in as many days!!

I found another card challenge I wanted to try! It is a newer site called creativechallengeclubs.blogspot.ca 

For this card I decided to do something a little different. It may be hard to see from the pictures but instead of cutting a circle out and gluing it on my card base, I cut the circle out of the card base! The card is very simple, and I debated about filling the white space in the upper left corner but I wasn't entirely sure what to put there... so it stayed blank!

Here are the products I used:

- Soft Sky card stock (SU!)

- Soft Suede ink pad (SU!)

- Linen thread (SU!)

- Stylin' Girl stamp set (SU!)

- Sweet Essentials stamp set (SU!)

- Petite petals stamp set and punch (SU!)

- Everyday Enchantment DSP (SU!)

- Tangerine Tango card stock (SU!)

- copper brad

My folded card size is 6.5"x5". 

I cut out a 4.25" circle from the card base. Then I cut out a 4" circle of soft sky card stock and cut it in half and stamped my cute little girl on it. I glued the DSP on the inside of the card and used dimensionals to attach the half circle. I inked the edges of the card and around the circle too. I stamped my flower image and cut it out using the petite petals punch. Wrapped the linen thread and stamped my 'hello,' and BAM! Done. Okay it sounds easy now, but it did actually take a lot longer messing around with colours! 

Thanks for checking it out!

Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch #105

Hello once again! So it's only been 5 years since my last (and only) post... not too much has happened in that time, we've only moved twice, had a baby, and my husband finished school and found a great job. Nope not much at all ;) Also during this time I have found a new passion...making cards! In fact I love it so much I have a become an independent demonstrator with Stampin' Up! I love their products and I've found it is such a great way for me, someone who is not very artistic, to make neat things, using stamps and paper.

I've found some great websites that have fun card making challenges that I would like to participate in, but for some of them you need a blog, so that is my main motivation in getting back on the blog.

My first challenge is from papercraftcrew.com. It is card sketch challenge #105. 

I decided to make a Halloween card! I used

- Stampin' Up! Howlstooth &        Scaringbone DSP, 

- Googly Ghouls stamp set (SU!)

- 1.5" wide burlap (SU!)

- old olive card stock (SU!)

- black card stock (which I embossed but it is hard to see from the picture!)

- black jewels (dollar store)

Enjoy!!
