Non Winning Artisan Project #6

 

I played around with so many techniques and ideas on this page and really didn't want to give it up when I was done with it, but also didn't know if I wanted to spend another 3 hours on one scrapbook page! 

 

 

Some of the background texture is from inked embossing folders and other is from inked up saran wrap.

 

I did LOTS of sponging and some distressing of card stock along with lots of layering.

 

Supplies:

Notable Alphabet

Fan Fair dsp

Tea for Two dsp

Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Midnight Muse card stock

Midnight Muse, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Gumball Green, Soft Suede classic ink

Chevron Folder

Honeycomb Folder

designer buttons

Stitched satin ribbon

 

 

Teacher Gifts

 

The Late Night Stampers challenge this week is Teacher gifts...

 

I always like to give my kid's teachers a little thank you at the end of the year, I know it is something I couldn't do and I am grateful for them.

 

 

I put together this little box and decorated it with Tea for Two dsp and some Oh Hello stamped images.  The green striped things are cool straws I found and I put them into a 1" x 8" cello bag.

 

I added a wrapped up candy bar, post it note holder, decorated water bottle and flavor packet, a pen and some note cards.

 

One down, two to go!

 

Come on over and see what the team has created to inspire you!

Since we have had some rain delaying some potato shipping, I found a little time to play along with Mary Jo's sketch challenge for the week.

 

 

I flipped her sketch and used a different shape as  the focus. 

 

There is a little bit of Tea for Two dsp and another sentiment stamped on the inside.

 

 

 

Supplies:

Trust God

Calypso Coral, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron and Very Vanilla card stock

Lucky Limeade ink

Designer frames folder

Honeycomb folder

Happy Day

 

I am sharing a couple cards that are pretty similar to each other, both made with leftovers that I had used for other projects.  Sometimes that makes putting cards together easier and sometimes it makes it a lot harder trying to figure out how to use the pieces. 

 

 

The first one uses a sentiment from Friendly Phrases along with images from Oh Hello and some Tea for Two dsp.

 

The second only uses the Oh Hello stamp set and once again the Tea for Two dsp.  I haven't been the biggest fan of Calypso Coral, but I have been trying to make myself use it more especially since it will be part of the color renovation coming up.

Oh Happy Day!

 

The Late Night Stampers challenge this week is to Celebrate St Patrick's Day...well, I don't have any stamps for that occasion so this is what I came up with.

 

 

The paper doily is dyed with some Crumb Cake reinker and my four leaf clover is made from the heart punch.

 

Supplies:

Bloomin' Marvelous

Very Vanilla, Lucky Limeade card stock

Lucky Limeade ink

Duo builder ticket punch

Heartfelt

 

I had a few extra stamped images with the Heartfelt stamp from the Layered Labels set that I had used in another project so I put this card together pretty quickly.  I love it when that happens!

The fun quilt like patterns in the Tea for Two designer series paper are great to get the ideas flowing for cards.  This one is fairly simple using the Just Believe stamp set.

January Stamp Club projects

 

I wanted to use a lot of new products for my January Stamp Club projects and this is what I came up with.

 

 

The first card uses both the Honeycomb folder and the Cloudy Day folder along with some More Amour specialty paper.

 

For the second card, I CASED one in the mini catalog with a few changes using the Sunshine and Sprinkles dsp and the Cuddles and Kisses stamp set.

 

For the layout, I chose to use the Tea for Two dsp and the Hearts a Flutter framelits.

Vintage Verses

More preview cards for you today using some Occasions Mini catalog and some Sale-bration items! 

 

 

These cards are both made using the Tea for Two dsp again, this time I paired it with the Sale-a-bration stamp set Vintage Verses and also the Everything Eleanor set.

 

Both cards also have embossing on a layer done with the Honeycomb folder and some Natural 7/16" trim ribbon.

Feel Goods

 

These cards are made with some more preview items from the upcoming Occasions Mini catalog.

 

 

I have used the stamp set Feel Goods and the Tea for Two designer series paper for both cards.

 

The paper makes it look like I did more to the card than I did :)
