Jess B. . . Creative "Card"- iology: Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge

Showing posts with label Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge. Show all posts

We weren't supposed to feel much of an impact for the big storm ravaging the East Coast - maybe 1"-2" starting late in the afternoon today. Well, I guess this storm was pretty unpredictable because it started snowing here around 10am and hasn't stopped. I was supposed to have a scrapbooking class this afternoon but my attendees decided they didn't want to be out driving around in that fine, misty, slimy snow so we cancelled. Since I had planned to be home I went ahead and had a play day anyways.

I knew I needed to make a bunch of cards for an upcoming workshop swap. My stamping group in Auburn always hosts a card swap along with their Stampin' Up! workshops. The hostess gets to choose the theme. This month's hostess is Steph and her theme is "milestones." I was assigned the milestone of "New Home." I searched Pinterest for a bit of inspiration and also decided to play along with Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge.

Here is the challenge:

And here is the "New Home" swap card I created:

I tried my hand at a lil' bit of punch art using my Stampin' Up! punches.
Stamps: Well Scripted (retired
Paper: Whisper White, Smokey Slate, Midnight Muse, Rose Red, Comfort Cafe' DSP (retired)
Ink: Midnight Muse
Accessories: Triangle Punch, 1" Square Punch, Small Heart Punch, Doily, Rose Red Seam Binding Ribbon (on the SU! clearance rack right now!)

I think a few of my "swappers" follow my blog - so if you're reading this be sure to leave me a comment and let me know if you like my card!

The second card I created during my "play" time on Saturday afternoon followed the sketch from the Clean & Simple Challenge blog:

And used the colors from the Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge:

This is my card:

I colored the different stamps from the Take Care set with my markers and then used my Bird Punch to pop out the little mama bird. I placed a mini pearl for her eye.

Thanks for looking!

Creative "thank you" projects is the challenge today over at Hand Stamped Sentiments. I thought this cute fabric rosette key fob and coordinating gift box that I made for one of my Stampin' Up!

Fabric Ribbon Rosette Key Fob:
Jumbo Sticky Rounds #127852 $4.95 I love these - They're like giant glue dots!

Silicone Craft Sheet #127853 $5.95 An absolutely must have for working with hot glue! Nothing sticks to this sheet which makes clean up a breeze!

And here's another variation that I showed my Creative "Card"-iologist team members how to make at our last play date. This rosette uses the retired Spring Vintage fabric from Stampin' Up!
