Make The Cards Challenge Week #21 – Sketch Challenge

Hey Y'all!!!  I'm back with the Make The Cards Challenge Week #21.  This week we are featuring a sketch challenge.  I'm obsessed with Alcohol Ink and been working on backgrounds to use.  This beautiful purple, pink & copper background worked great for a birthday card using Whimsy Stamps Slimline Connected Bubbles and Word dies.  This beautiful card is available in my Etsy store HERE!  All the details for making this card yourself are below (including links).

 

 

I started by creating the beautiful background with Alcohol Inks.  So much fun!

 

The card base is Stampin' UP!'s ‘Gorgeous Grape‘ card stock.

Use your favorite adhesive to glue the alcohol ink background directly onto the card base.

 

I used the ‘Slimline Connected Bubbles‘ die from Whimsy Stamps to cut the fun bubbles layer out of a piece of retired gold paper.

 

The sentiments are from Whimsy Stamps ‘Happy‘ Large Word Die and ‘Birthday‘ Word & Shadow Die.  Used the same retired gold and Stampin' UP!'s ‘Gorgeous Grape‘ card stock.  Glued the Happy sentiment to the gold card stock and popped them both up with Foam Tape.

 

Perfect Happy Birthday card for someone special!

I LOVE the ‘Keep Calm and Gnome On‘ stamp set from Paper Sweeties.  And the matching sweet cuts.  I mean who isn't in love with cute little gnomes?  And now this cute Gnomebug?

 

 

I colored the fun little ‘Gnomebug' and love banner with copic markers to to match the colorful background.  It is a Love Bug after all.

• Gnomebug (B97, B95, B93, YG63, R27, E57, E55, E53)

I cut different width pieces of the ‘Crafting With My Gnomies Collection Pack‘ paper pack and popped them up with foam tape to make a cute and colorful background.

 

 

It is a ‘Love Bug' after all, even when it's filled with Gnomes, so I created a banner using Paper Sweeties ‘Craftin' With My Gnomies‘ stamp set and matching sweet set.

Paper Sweeties May 2021 New Release Party – Keep Calm and Gnome On!

Hey Y'all!!!  Welcome to Paper Sweeties!!!  It's our Release Party!!!!!  Funny thing happened on the way to this card.  When I saw the sheet of stickers in the Crafting With My Gnomies 12 x 12 Collection pack (on particular the sentiment on this card) and the new gnomebug in the Keep Calm and Gnome On stamp set I immediately had a vision of Karen Letchworth and myself traveling to a crop at Paper Sweeties.  Tools flying everywhere.  The sentiment is correct…  What happens at the crop, stays at the crop!  You'll find links to the sneak peeks from other members of the design team below as well as all the details for this card.

 

 

I started by stamping and cutting out the new Gnome car from Paper Sweeties new ‘Keep Calm & Gnome On‘ stamp set.

 

 

I cut two fun layers from the ‘Crafting With My Gnomies Collection Pack‘ paper pack.  How cute.

 

 

The ‘Crafting With My Gnomies‘ Collection Pack has a fun full sheet of the coolest stickers.  Sentiments.  Crafting stickers.  All sorts of things.  I thought it would be fun to use the stickers to finish out the card.

 

Don't you love craftin' with YOUR gnomies?

I started by stamping and cutting out the new Gnome car from Paper Sweeties new ‘Keep Calm & Gnome On‘ stamp set.

 

I made a beautiful paper frame from Paper Sweeties ‘Crafting With My Gnomies Collection Pack‘ paper pack and used some pretty pink seam binding for the hanger.  How cute.

 

 

Paper Sweeties has beautiful sweet cuts.  Great edges, clean finishes.  I used the ‘Oval Scallop Frames‘ sweet cuts to cut a piece of the ‘Crafting With My Gnomies‘ Collection Pack for the oval frame.  I used a piece of white card stock cut the center of the ‘Oval Scallop Frames‘ sweet cuts.   Stamped the fun sentiment from Paper Sweeties new ‘Keep Calm & Gnome On‘ stamp set.

You Make Life Amazing

Hey Y'all!!!  So excited to showcase another a beautiful card as part of the Design Team for Scrappy Tails Crafts.  I'm showcasing one of the new die sets from Scrappy Tails Crafts ‘Midsummer Night's Dream‘ collection.  Such a beautiful cover plate with the stitched clouds.  Includes plenty of clouds and stars to create a beautiful card.  This is available in my Etsy store HERE!  All the details for making this card yourself are below (including links).

 

 

 

Check out one of the new dies from Scrappy Tails Crafts ‘Midsummer Night's Dream‘ collection.

 

 

How beautiful all the pieces are in the ‘A7 Cloud Frame Cover Plate‘.  A large cover plate creates a cloud frame to add a beautiful outside dimension to your card.  Love the clouds.  Two dies (a background and edge) make up each one.  You can use them together or separately.  I've used them together.  Then choose whether you'd like to add stars, a moon or other elements.

Simply beautiful!
