RetroSketches | Challenge #69

Good morning! I am hoping to get this post finished before we lose power... we have a nasty storm brewing outside right now. Gotta love Florida in the summer... hot, humid, with some thunder and lightening thrown in for good measure!

 This week's sketch is another good one, and perfect for quick cards! I whipped this one up after Mark's company picnic on Friday and it took no time at all. I followed the sketch closely & used a (somewhat neglected) Papertrey Ink stamp set (Over Under Easy), some paper from Crate Paper, and a few gems. A cute bow and I was finished!

Here's my take: 

(Supplies - Stamps: (Papertrey Ink) Over Under Easy. Ink: (PTI) Hawaiian Shores, Berry Sorbet. Cardstock: (PTI) Hawaiian Shores, White. (Stampin' Up!) Marina Mist. Patterned Paper: (Crate) The Pier. Border punch: Fiskars. Ribbon: (Stampin' Up!) from the Sale-a-Bration set. Other: Gems.)

That's it from me today! Have a great week. :)

RetroSketches | Challenge #67

Hi there! I had so much fun playing along with this week's RetroSketches challenge. I ordered a couple of new stamp sets from Wplus9, and I used Fresh Cut Florals for my card.


The kraft chevron paper is by Crate Paper's new collection: The Pier. Isn't it awesome?!? I also picked up the chipboard frames from the same collection and I can't wait to use them on a scrapbook page & project life.

(Supplies - Stamps: (Wplus9) Fresh Cut Florals. Ink: Fresh Ink, Papertrey. Cardstock: Becky Higgins/Project Life. (Papertrey In) White. Patterned Paper: (Crate Paper) The Pier. (Papertrey Ink) Melon Berry Patterns Pack. Dies: (Wplus9) Fresh Cut Florals. Other: Twine.)
 
Isn't Fresh Cut Florals lovely? I had so much fun creating my little cluster of stamped flowers. And the font is super cute, too. :)
 
Thanks for stopping by!

RetroSketches | Challenge #66

I am so excited to be the guest designer for RetroSketches this month! I have participated in the RetroSketches challenges for the last year and they are so much fun... and definitely a challenge each week! 

Here is this week's sketch:


And my take:

(Supplies- Stamps: (Paper Smooches) Daisies and Paisleys. Ink: (Memento) Tuxedo Black. Cardstock: (PTI) White, Aqua Mist. Patterned Paper: (PTI) Limeade Ice Patterns Pack. (Dear Lizzy) 5th & Frolic. Impression Plate: (PTI) Diamonds. Dies: (PTI) Sketched Shapes. Other: Copic markers, twine, buttons.)

(This kinked twine is driving me bonkers... I need to pull out my mini iron and flatten it!). 

I wanted to create three chevron stripes/notched triangles for the bottom of my card, but I don't have a die to match that shape. I pulled out Papertrey Ink's Sketched Shapes triangle die and ran it through my big shot. Then I used the same triangle die to die cut a small triangle out of the bottom of the larger triangle. They aren't perfect, but darn close. :)

That's it for me today! I'll be back next week with another card for RetroSketches! And check back tomorrow for this month's Great Impressions Stamps challenge card... sparkle!
