Lovely Day ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Today's card was inspired by Journey Sketches #17.  Along with the sketch was an additional challenge to make a shaped card.  I went with any easy shape...a square.

Get Well Soon

Hi Everyone...today I have a CAS card for you for this week's Friday Mashup Challenge brought to us by Lisa.  As a matter of fact I think this is the cleanest and simplest card I've made in a long time.  I guess I just didn't want to make a card that had too much on it since it is a Get Well card. :)  Oh, I can't forget to tell you what the challenge is...

Create a project using the above "Sketch".

Create a " Get Well" Project.

or Mash it Up and create a "Get Well project using the Sketch". 

Make sure you check out what all the other designers made this week mashing up the sketch and "Get Well" HERE.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Get Well Wishes

Today's get well card is made using the Paper Craft Crew card sketch #64.  I was trying to use the colors from another challenge, and after I got the card done I realized I totally left one of the colors out.  Not sure how I did that since I had all the colors out, but I'm not going back and adding it in that's for sure! lol

Daffodil Delights

These two cards are definitely not the norm for me, but I made them to feature the Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit.  I think they turned out pretty cute, but I know beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. ;)  The card on the left took a little bit of work to fold up the flowers to make them look like daffodil buds, and cutting the strips of grass.  The flower itself was pretty easy to make though.  The yellow flower was super easy to make.  Just sponge the edges, clip the outside cup, layer the pieces and attach with the brad in the middle.  Making the stem and leaves were easy too. :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Left Overs Part 2

A couple of days ago I posted a card that I had originally made for one of my workshops, along with another card I made using the left overs.  Here are two more cards that I made using the same left over card stock.  I got the idea for the sponging from someone on Stampin' Connection.  I always like to give credit to the person that inspired me, but I can't find the card again to give anyone the credit. :(  If you happen to see this and it's your idea let me know.  I'll gladly put a link to your blog for others to see.

I kept my first card smooth with only the base embossed, but on the second card I did the opposite.  I left the base smooth, but embossed all of the other layers.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

If you haven't done any sponging lately give it a try!  I do it on a lot of my cards around the edges.  It seems to soften the card and helps blend things together.  For this card I taped off the areas where I didn't want the ink and starting lightly sponging Garden Green, then added More Mustard and finally Bravo Burgundy. Keep doing it until you've blended it to your satisfaction.
