Sketch Challenge DSC#299

This weeks challenge was a simple one, but those are the ones I 

seem to struggle the most with. It took several attempts but this

is what I finally came up with. 

I used all Stampin Up products: 

Grapefruit Grove Cardstock

Stripes Embossing Folder

Very Vanilla Cardstock

Bring On The Presents Stamp Set

All The Presents Thinlets

Grapefruit Grove Inkpad

Faceted Dots

Glitter Enamel Dots

Christmas Washi Tape from the new Holiday Catalog.

I like the end result. I did not put a sentiment on it so that I could

put the appropriate one on it when I am ready to use it. 

I love the effect of the dry embossing with the Stripes Embossing Folder. 

The washi tape added a little shine, and the glitter enamel dots

add sparkle. 

I used deminsionals on the very vanilla layer to help it 

stamd out a little more. 

This challenge was great practice for me to learn how 

to make simple and clean cards. 

Farmhouse Christmas

This is my first challenge that I have participated in. I hope I am getting it 

in correctly!!!

I love the Stampin' Blends. 

I love the Farmhouse Christmas Stamp Set and Dies.

I also used the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series paper. 

All can be found in the new Holiday Catalog which is so

exciting! It is filled with lots of new items to play with. 

First I used Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped and die cut all 

my images. 

Then I colored them using the Stampin' Blends. 

My card base is 5 and 1/2 by 4 and 1/4.

I layered a piece of Cherry cobbler cardstock 4 x 5 and 1/4

and Garden Green cardstock 3 and 7/8 x 5 and 1/8.

Topped that with the Festive Farmhouse paper cut at 3 and 3/4 x 5.

I use red and green twine to wrap around those layers and tied a bow. 

It is then attached to the base cardstock. 

All of my images were attached using snail or glue except the house 

which is on dimensionals.

I attached bows and snowflakes from the Santa's workshop enamel shapes. 

The greeting comes from the Farmhouse Christmas stamp set. 

It was a very fun card to make, and I hope you will try making one too.

challenge.

August Paper Pumpkin Kit

These are two of the cards I created from using the August 

Paper Pumpkin kit.

All products used are by Stampin Up. 

The Paper Pumpkin Kit includes everything you need to complete

the cards. 

August kit included:

Blissful Blooms Photopolymer Stamp Set

Blackberry Bliss Stampin Spot

10 card bases and envelopes

3 Laser cut vellum sheets

1 sheet of silver foil tags

4 yards of bakers twine

75 Dimensionals

75 adhesive dots

On my alternate card I also used Stampin Up Rhinestones Basic Jewels.

I also made sure to stamp the flowers on the inside of the cards and on

the envelopes. 

These kits are amazing!

I get them every month and I love being surprised by what is in them.

They are good kits to have on hand for when your mojo gets stuck.

I don't know if you have those days but I sure do. 

They are also good for those times when you need a quick card to 

just put together.

This was a rainy weekend where I live, so I had a good excuse to stamp away!

Happy stamping!
