Here's a lovely sketch from N@Ali that will surely inspire! And....the DT has created some really beautiful projects
(don't I say that every week?).
I've kept things simple with PTI's Songbirds leaf-y die and Soft Stone card stock and a Paper Smooches sentiment and flower die. Just in case anyone was noticing - I edited this card a bit by changing out the bg (striped vs. polka dots) and added one more little leaf to balance things out. Perhaps it does help to look at your card through the camera's lens.
Please visit CAS(E) this Sketch #137 and play along! You have until Thursday, August 27th to link up your card.
Ashley's challenge for PTI's MIM #221 is to mask a sentiment! Since my Papertrey Shakers & Sprinkles MIM Kit hasn't received nearly enough love and attention I stamped this bold sentiment, sprinkled lots of confetti (and color) around and added a bit of dimension and sparkle with the Tsukineko Shimmer Pico Embellisher. There's so much that you could do with this technique, and I anxious to try, try again! Lots of lovely examples in the MIM #221 gallery too!
Happy Thursday! I am so excited, and honored, to be featured over at the Paper Crafter's Library today! LOVE this blog... where you'll find tutorials, artist/designer spotlights, trend reports and lots of lovely giveaways! What's not to love?
My project for today features a beautiful Peace Card Band die from Frantic Stamper, which creates an amazingly CAS holiday card with very little effort. I've added some pretty patterned paper, a simple sentiment and a few little sprigs of holly. I know, it is only August! But, in my opinion, one can never be too far ahead of the game where holiday prep and/or card making is concerned. Just ask me - the family photo taking/present buying/gift wrapping/house decorating procrastinator. Maybe 2015 will be my year to have it all done ahead of schedule! One can only hope.....
Thanks for taking a peek. Be sure to stop in at Paper Crafter's Library, where you will enjoy an abundance of creative inspiration!
What an amazing sketch Leigh has created for CTS #136 - so perfectly CAS. And.... take a peek at the DT inspiration, where you'll find lots of beautiful white space and amazing color!
I've definitely taken the crisp and clean route, with lots of white, pretty blues/greens, a simple sentiment and an amazing little die from Frantic Stamper that creates all of those terrific tiny triangles.
So what are you waitin' for? Come play along and create a card or project for CAS(E) this Sketch #136!
Wow.... just take a peek at N@Ali's beautiful sketch and all of the clever and creative projects from the DT!
It certainly will not surprise anyone .... more flowers (again). I've stamped the pretty black-eyed susans from Papertrey Ink's Flower Favorites, along with a sentiment from Flower Fusion #12.
Please play along - you have until Thursday, August 13th to link up your card! We can't wait to see what you've created for CAS(E) this Sketch #135!
I am joining in for the very first time at Paper Players #255 (phew, in just under the wire)! I guess that a lovely sketch is what prompts a bit of creativity .... AND quite of few of my favorite card makin' peeps were playing along too!
Really mixing it up here with some new-to me RC and LI dies and a pretty blue/green/gray color combo. Lots of great inspiration in the Paper Players #255 gallery, so be sure to take a peek!
You will surely be inspired by Chrissy's design for CAS(E) this Sketch #134 and the beautiful projects from the CTS Design Team!
This one's bold and bright, with lots of contrast. I've used my SSS circle dies,a PS 'thanks" die and a few dots of Enamel Accents (which dries nice and shiny- and dimensional). Nope...nothing subtle about this card.
We can't wait to see what you've created for CTS #134!
P.S.- A warm welcome to our fabulous GT, Ros Crawford.
