Gnome Doubt (tsot #608)

Hi crafty friends!

I hope your day is off to a wonderful start!

Today starts a new sketch challenge over on the

Try Stampin' On Tuesday Challenge Blog! 

Here is a look at the sketch: 

(Optional Theme: Create a Scene)

Here is a what I created based on the sketch:

I started by creating an A2 card base from some white cardstock. I cut a piece of plaid patterned paper and added a little pink die cut scallop along the bottom edge. I added some teal crochet thread to help separate the layers a bit before adhering the patterned paper piece to my card front. I used a stitched die to cut my oval from white cardstock, stamped my greeting with some black ink and popped it up onto my card front with foam tape. I built my little girl gnome and popped her up with more foam tape. I love dimension lol! I added some sequins and white Nuvo drops to complete my card. This card came together so quickly and I really think it's adorable :) 

I would also like to play along in the

Optional Theme: Use Dies and/or Punches

Here is the card that I created based on the sketch:

To create my card, I started with a white A2 card base. I used a stitched rectangle die to cut out a piece of honey comb patterned paper and layered it on top. I used a piece of striped patterned paper (from the same paper pack) to create my middle strip, adding some die cut scallops behind it before adding it to my card. I stamped those adorable little bees from the Pink & Main and colored them with my Copic markers. Once I had them colored up, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and then added them to my blue square with some foam tape. I added my sentiment along the bottom of my white square and then added my square pieces to my card front. I added a bit of shimmer to my clouds and some pink Nuvo drops to the centers of my flowers.

Happy Birthday (TSOT #604)

(optional theme: use brads/eyelets)

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I started by creating a white A2 cardbase and layering some pink checked patterned paper on top. I cut some strips of polka dotted patterned paper and layered them onto a piece of white cardstock, following the sketch, and added it to my card front with foam tape. Next, I dug into my stash and pulled out this older stamp set from Mama Elephant. I thought these little critters were perfect for this card! I colored them with my Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I popped them up onto my card with more foam tape. I added some enamel dots and a little pink bow to complete my card. I think this turned out so cute and I love that I was able to revisit an older stamp set and use it again :)

Look For Rainbows

Hi crafty friends!

I hope your day is off to a wonderful start!

Today starts a new sketch challenge over on the

Try Stampin' On Tuesday Challenge Blog! 

Here is a look at the sketch:

For my card, I used both the sketch and the inspiration of Rainbow. 

This little bunny from Avery Elle always makes me smile and immediately came to mind when I saw the inspiration word for this challenge. I just knew I had to use him. I used some Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and stamped my little bunny onto a piece of white hammermill paper. I used my Scan N Cut to cut him out and then colored him with my Copic markers. I arranged my patterned papers onto my white A2 card base, popping up my blue rectangle with foam tape. I added my sentiment and then popped up my bunny with more foam tape. I added some glossy accents to the raindrops and some yellow enamel dots to complete my card. I think this is just so cute and such a fabulous sentiment to live by!

Here is the card that I created based on the sketch:

To create my card, I started with a white A2 card base, that I covered with some pretty plaid paper. I added a strip of white cardstock for the divider that the sketch shows and then added a panel of cloud patterned paper to the top. I stamped my images and colored them in with my Copic markers before cutting them out with my Scan N Cut. I popped them up onto my cloud background with some foam tape and added my greeting, also popped up with foam tape. I completed my card with some pink enamel dots and some glossy accents on the stars & hearts on the balloon. So sweet and so simple! One of the many reasons I love sketches lol!!

Optional theme: Weather

Here is a look at the card that I created based on the sketch:

Ok, this card was so so so easy!!

I originally was going to go a different direction by using a stamped image, however while flipping through some of my paper packs trying to find some papers, I came across this one from Simple Stories that I have had for quite a long while. The great thing about this paper pad was that, on top of wonderful patterned papers, it had some really fun cut apart cards for pocket scrapbooking. So my original idea was ditched and a new one was born lol! I simply used the cut apart card to create my focal point and paired it with some patterned papers that coordinated. I added some little enamel hearts, crochet thread and some foam tape and my card was done!

It was so incredibly simple that while I had everything out, I decided to make a second card as well.
