Change the World Grad ~ CTD293

 

This is another graduation card that I made for Color Throwdown 293, which uses Tangerine Tango, Pear Pizzaz, and Soft Sky.

 

This is not generally a color scheme that I would gravitate towards, but I thought it'd be nice for a guy graduation.

 

I used a pretty basic layout, but jazzed it up with a few embellishments.

 

 

Here's a list of my supplies....

 

Stamps: Something to Say, World Map

Paper: Tangerine Tango, Silver Fancy Foil Vellum, Soft Sky, Sweater Weather DSP, White

Ink: Pear Pizzaz, Tangerine Tango

Accessories: Pear Pizzaz bakers twine, Itty Bitty Accents punch pack, Rhinestones, Windows Framelits die, Hardware Clips

Dots, Stripes, and Stars ~ MOJO346

This was another case of scraps on my desk.  The Smokey Slate circle and Going Gray flower, as well as the Strawberry Slush star were all laying around my desk, discarded from previous projects.  I put them all together, along with some

Silver Fancy Foil vellum and NEW Hello Honey DSP, to create this card for Mojo Monday 346.

These colors are pretty fun together and the gold sparkle brad, which are retiring, matches the Hello Honey perfectly!

Here's a list of my supplies.....

Stamps: Pomp and Circumstance (stamped on the inside)

Ink: Hello Honey, Strawberry Slush, Smokey Slate

Paper: Moonlight paper stack, Silver Fancy Foil, Smokey Slate, Going Gray, Strawberry Slush

Accessories: Gold glimmer brad, ruffle stretch trim, Floral Frames die, Circle die

May Paper Crafters Sampler

We've put together a fun yet challenging Sampler together for May.  This month offers three times more flair than the previous issue. 

The request this month varied from holiday and seasonal issues we've had in the past.  Our May issue, "Thrice In Design", takes a whack at design projects with trio's, three's and third's in mind.  Each project simply had to contain "3" of something, be it images, layers or shapes.

Once again the design team pulled through and the creativity of each project shows. 

Here's a sneak peek of my project.....

The Big G ~ FMS136

This post is for Freshly Made Sketches 136.  

My oldest son graduated from High School this past weekend and living in a small community we know lots and lots of other kids graduating too.  I needed 20 something graduation cards....

I thought this sketch worked perfect for the old set Great Grad.  

It came together quickly.  I'm also trying to use up all the SAB designer paper.  

Here's a list of my supplies:

Stamps: Great Grad

Ink: Versamark

Paper: Black, Silver glimmer, Calypso Coral & Sweet Sorbet DSP, White, Crisp Cantalope

Accessories: Black EP, Alphabet Press EF, 1/8" silver ribbon, Hung Up cute clips, Starburst Die, Circles die

Flamingo Bunch ~ CTD288 & JAI211

This is the last flamingo card that my friend requested.  I used the color combo from Color Throwdown 288 and the sketch from Just Add Ink 211.  

I started out by stamping a bunch of flamingos, masking some off.  I originally wanted to use the sentiment "thanks a bunch", but as I looked through my stash I didn't have anything that said that....I really thought in my head that I did!  I settled on the "thanks much" from Six Sided Sampler.  I'm pleased with the outcome, although I think "thanks a bunch" would have been much cuter!

Here's a list of my supplies....

Supplies for this card

Stamps: Six Sided Sampler, Chevron, flamingo I bought from Ebay

Paper: Basic Gray, White, Gumball Green, Smokey Slate, Melon Mambo DSP

Ink: Melon Mambo, Gumball Green, Smokey Slate

Accessories: Photo Corner punch, 1 3/4" circle punch, rhinestones, edgelits

April Paper Crafters Sampler

Here is a sneak peak of my project for this month's Paper Crafters Sampler.

Gardens are coming to life.  Budding trees and perennials will soon fill our homes with burst of color and fragrance.  If your garden hasn’t awaken quite yet, try decorating with a few paper beauties.

The April issue of the Paper Crafter Sampler, “Fabulous Floral”, issue shares an array of ideas for beautifying your home with flowers until your outdoor garden is in full bloom.  All projects in this issue are focused around a floral theme.  You’ll find cheery and feminine crepe paper poppies, pop-up flower box cards and several lovely cards with flowers popping off the front.

This month’s template is a “Strawberry Pot”.  A little table top container for stuffing with faux strawberries or flowers.

Flamingo Silhouette ~ JAI208

 

Here is flamingo card #2 for the request that my friend made.  I used the color combo from Just Add Ink 208.....well, kinda.  Now that I look at the combo as I post this, I see it's Smokey Slate and not Sahara Sand.  I had it in my head that it was Sahara Sand.....Oh well!

Anyway, I used the same flamingo stamp that I purchased from Ebay only I used my black marker to color it all in and make it a silhouette.  I used my brayer to make the water/sky background, then sponged in the Sahara Sand.  The foliage silhouettes are from Inspired by Nature and a single stamp I bought at Hobby Lobby.  It's hard to see in the photo, but I stamped some words and splotches on the sand colored DSP as well as sponged it.  For the base card, I stamped the big image from Postage Due in Pacific Point ink. 

 

 

I added a little "Miss You" tag from the Just Saying set. 

 

Supplies for this card

Stamps: Postage Due, Just Saying, Inspired By Nature, French Foliage, Gorgeous Grunge, Flamingo & Foliage from other companies

Paper: Pacific Point, Sweet Sorbet DSP, Black, White

Ink: Calypso Coral, Pacific Point, Sahara Sand, Black, Summer Starfruit

Accessories: Apothecary Accents die, 3/4" circle punch, smooch spray, brayer, Natural trim, Calypso Coral bakers twine, dotted scallop ribbon punch
