Weekend Activities Week 2 of Challenge #89

This is the second week of the Weekend Activities challenge at The Cheerful Stamp Pad. I hope you can find some time to join us in the challenge. The sponsor is Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet/BB Kakes, super cute images and here is the one I chose for the challenge.

The image is called Want to Play, isn’t she adorable?  I was at Wall-Mart (Canada) last night and found a 6 x 6  patterned cardstock pad for $4.97, not that I really needed it but all of the patterns I will used. As you can see I’m taking pictures on the deck rail al==which is great as long as the wind is calm.The background paper has gray in it so I chose to use basic gray for the base and a layer.

The inside isn’t finished yet I need to decide what one I will use it  only takes a couple of minutes to finish, my picture taking really lacks today since there is a strip of the patterned paper on the bottom of the inside.
I am entering this in Crafty Hazelnut’s Patterned Paper challenge for Jun I hope I can get it in on time.
Thanks for looking  today and have a great week.

S is for Steampunk at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers

Steampunk is not one of my stronger venues, but you have to step up to the plate and stare that  ball down. I gathered stock from my stash, A Tim Holtz clear set Virtual; artistry, Paper Journey by Plaid ($1.97 in a clearance store) , a gears embossing folder, a punch (found out you have to step on it to make it work)  the key is a  Marianne die/

The Car and Watch are embossed with copper, fussy cut and then popped up.

Even in the close-up you can’t see the copper, or maybe it’s my eyes, things are certainly very blurry but so far I’m managing.

The stamp I wanted to use for the inside was at home, brought it with me and now can finish the  inside. It reads…. Another 365 day trip around the sun.

Thanks for stopping by today head over to The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers and check out the rules and the awesome cards the rest of the team have done.

Challenge #10 G is for Glitter at SOSS!!!

Happy Saturday!! did you survive Friday the 13th? Any motorcycle enthusiasts head to Port Dover for the only Friday the 13th in 2014? If you don’t know about it just goggle and see what it’s all about.
Two weeks has passed and keeping up with the Alphabet Soup theme Challenge #10 at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers is G is for Glitter so we want you to get out all that lovely glitter and go crazy with it.

The image I used was a freebie from Bugaboo Stamps and the sentiment is from an unknown digi, I thought they were both perfect for the challenge.

The glitter I used is from the Dollar store and is chunky so I didn’t get it all over me or the floor, even the cat was spared being glittered.

The inside of the card. I used turquoise and yellow and the patterned paper is a scrap I found in the scrap box.

Thanks for  stopping by today and please join in the fun at The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers for the Glitter challenge.

What’s up with EWE?

If you are looking for my Clear it Out Tuesday post Scroll down or click HERE.
At Shopping Our Stash we want to see something soft on your project, Flower soft, fun flock, soft material are some choices. I have all of those things but thought I could let the flower soft out of the jar for a tour of my card, it is usually on the loose in Winter for the “snow” cards. I couldn’t even decide what I wanted to make the card for so I have another generic card.  What do you think it should be?

I stamped the woodgrain background stamp on Crumb cake cardstock with Versafine sepia ink. No colouring on this card except I went over the black with the black spica glitter pen.The digi I used is from Scribbles Designs there are  a lot of really cute images on the site.

Along with the white flower soft I put paper glaze on the eyes and teeth.

Here is the very plain inside just waiting for a sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you can find time to get your craft on and put something soft on on your project.

Tag You’re It

Clear it Out Tuesday is having a NEW challenge, this one is so easy. The theme is Tag You’re it and the Stash item  put a tag somewhere on your project, the sponsor for the challenge is Stamp Art by Kathrynne don’t forget to stop by and have a look at what she has to offer for digis.

. I am back at the cottage this week and of course brought another box of craft “stuff” with me, more cardstock, more dies and a punch. I used the spellbinders rectangles both small and large. The tag was cut with the sizzix tag die.I believe the cardstock is bermuda bay and pretty in pink. I coloured with my copics added stickles to the flowers in the basket. The patterned paper is from a 12 X 12 kitchen pad I bought 4 years ago and this piece was in my scrap basket.

The sentiment also came with the image image of course my sentiments that would finish it are at home. I have one for get well and one for birthday. so the inside is almost finished.

I am entering this in a couple of challenges:

I haven’t used a Penny Black hedgie stamp in a long time and decided to get a graduate card done.

Here is the finished inside using scraps I embossed both the front panel and the inside with swiss dots cuttlebug folder.

The image came with the sentiment too and it’s just perfect for my hubby as he likes to nap and drink coffee.
                   
A close up so you can read the sentiment.

Since I like to print some of my sentiments off the computer I will be finishing this at home and hope I remember where I put it. Oh yes BTW I found the Valentine one so it’s all ready for next year. lol.

Challenge #87~~Sentiments~~Continues at The Cheerful Stamp Pad!!

This is the second week of the Sentiments challenge at The Cheerful Stamp Pad. This week I chose a sentiment from Hero Arts, I’m not sure where I bought it but there are 4 beautiful sentiments in the package, I picked the Love sentiment and thought it would make a great Wedding or Anniversary card,.

A lot of scraps were used in this card, the glittery butterflies and most of the ovals were scraps, the embossed back ground and the inside piece was a card base in my scrap box along with the punched border. The butterflies are Cheery Lynn Dies and because the glitter paper was very heave there was a lot of “picking”

As you can see this had a different purpose that didn’t work out, it was part of a base and ended in the scrap box. I have a lovely verse that will be perfect but it is at home. It is hard to craft in two places.
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you can join the challenge and show us how you put the focus on a sentiment.
