Berry Heart

Today I managed to use some patterned paper that I thought would never see the light of day on one of my cards and I'm pretty excited about it!  The Fruit and Berries challenge at the Paper Players gave me the idea for it so thanks, ladies!  I used these Concord & 9th stamps for the first time so I'm also going to play along with Darnell's NBUS challenge.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink

Patterned Paper: (Berry Sweet 8.5x8.5) K&Co

Stamps:  (All from Be Mine) Concord & 9th

Ink:  (VersaFine Onyx Black, Memento Tuxedo Black) Tsukineko

Dies:  (Heart) Taylored Expressions

Markers:  (R27, Y21, YG03, C1) Copic) Copic

Bold Patterned Birthday

Hello there!

I'm popping in today with a card for the Seize the Birthday Layer It challenge.  I took inspiration from this gorgeous card made by Gayatri.  I changed it up a bit by keeping the die cuts right next to each other and using patterned paper instead of inked card.  It's a great way to make use of patterned paper especially the old 12x12 sheets that I have.  I added the Simon Says birthday die over the top which is a two layer die so counting the card base I have 4 layers.  I liked the design so much I ended up making three cards with different papers and I imagine there will be more in the future.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Rich Razzleberry, Crisp Cantaloupe, Lemon Lime Twist) Stampin' Up
Patterned Paper: Basic Grey, K&Co

Dies:  (Happy Birthday) Simon Says Stamp, (Flags) Taylored Expressions

Other:  (Nuvo Ebony Black Crystal Drops) Tonic, (Glossy Accents) Ranger

Sympathy Leaves

Good morning!

I have a card to share for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.  I dug out some old 12x12 K&Co paper and used it to create the banners and also to stamp the leaves.  I had fun with it and ended up making three cards with varying colours.  

Hope you all had a lovely weekend! 

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink

Patterned Paper:  (Happy Trails 12x12) K&Co

Stamps:  (Leaves from Leaf Canopy, Sentiment from Many Thanks) Altenew

Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko

Die:  (Leaves) Altenew, (Banners) Reverse Confetti

Two Challenges

Hello there!  

After what seems like forever I got to spend some significant time in the craft room over the past couple of days thanks to Cup Match - our 4 day public holiday for the East vs West cricket match.  It took a while to get back in the groove but I ended up with a few cards to share.

First up is for the Muse challenge and the inspiration card from Tristan.  I followed the colour scheme (including the kraft twine colour), used a flower image and kept a clean, white background.  The flower is popped up on foam tape for some dimension.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink

Stamps:  (Flower & leaves from Layered Lily, Splatter from Watercolor Frames, Sentiment from Heartfelt Sentiments) Altenew

Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko, (Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades, Evergreen, Sea Breeze, Turquoise, Tide Blue, Starlight, Sand Dunes, Pure Graphite) Altenew

Gems:  Recollections

Next is a card for Freshly Made Sketches.  I'm trying to use more coloured card bases and also patterned paper so here I managed to combine that using Stampin' Up cardstock and some ancient K&Co paper.  The butterfly is MFT and the sentiment is Altenew.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (Certainly Celery, Basic Black) Stampin' Up, (Periwinkle) Bazzill

Patterned Paper:  (Que Sera Sera 12x12) K&Co

Stamps:  (Sentiment from Heartfelt Sentiments) Altenew

Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko
Die:  (Butterfly) My Favourite Things, (Stitched Square) Lil' Inker Designs

Markers:  (E33, E35) Copic
