Flying By With a Quick Card (CTD246 & Simon Says...Transport)

I went down to my stamping room to put some things away and my new Flying By stamp set was sitting on the table. It was too much to resist.  Just a quick card. Shouldn't take too long. Right?

I had already checked my computer for color challenges this morning and thought I could dash out these little planes in the colors of this week's Color Throwdown Challenge and the Simon Says Challenge is "transportation".

  

I popped one of the planes up on a dimensional so it's not a totally one layer card.

Thanks for flying by!  Have a great week!

Supplies:

Stamps: Flying By (Lawn Fawn), Happy Trails (PTI)
Paper: White (PTI)
Ink: Pear Pizzaz, Blushing Bride, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Basic Black (SU)
Accessories: Flying By die (Lawn Fawn)

RS#66 for Father's Day

I figured I better get started on my Father's Day cards. It will be here before I'm ready for it.  This card is for my hubby who loves woodworking. I used the Retro Sketches layout but reversed it.

This was one of those cards where you assemble, disasemble, change the colors, assemble, disassemble, add some embossing, assemble...... You get the idea. This is the final result.   I had some silver wrapping paper that I had saved (you can't just throw stuff like that away) so I used it on the tools. Hope he likes it. Happy Friday!

Here you can see the tools. They were flopping all over so I added a touch of glue behind each tool to hold them in place but not look like they were totally glued down.

Paper: Creamy Caramel, Bordering Blue, Chocolate Chip, Night of Navy, Black, White, Regals DSP Stack, Silver wrapping paper (non SU)

Dynamic Duos #55 and Freshly Made Sketches #88

I'm back home from visiting my daughter in Atlanta.  Since I live in Washington (the state), it takes me a few days to get my body back in sync from the time change. I haven't stamped in a few days and wanted to get back to it so I spent some time in my craft room yesterday evening.

This card is for the Freshly Made Sketches and Dynamic Duos Challenges.

I stamped the bicycle and was so proud of myself because the 2 parts lined up perfectly. Next came the basket. Not too bad.  Finally the presents. OK, here is where things broke down. I used markers so that I could get 2 colors.  Not great looking but I could live with it. Next was the bows.  Really didn't think much of the bows after I stamped them so I added some Dazzling Details to give them sparkle. Ah, looked pretty good.  I went on to stamp the sentiment, I punched the border, added the Raspberry strip at the bottom and now it's time to pop up the bicycle panel on dimensionals.

Surely by now the bows are dry. Right?  Not even close. I smooshed them big time! Now what to do?  I'm almost done and I've wrecked the bows!  So I sort of scraped around them, added a bit more Dazzling Details and let it sit overnight.  My husband says no one will know. Shh! Don't tell. 

The bows do sparkle prettily and I guess they don't look so bad in real life :-)

The Challenges:

Supplies:

Stamps: Pedal Pusher, Sketched Shapes (PTI)

Paper: White, Wisteria Wonder, Raspberry Ripple In Color DSP Stack (SU)

Ink: Wisteria Wonder, Raspberry Ripple, Crumb Cake (SU)

Accessories/Tools: Pedal Pusher die (PTI), Silver Dazzling Details, Dotted Scallop Ribbon punch, dimensionals (SU)

1 Card - Many Challenges

Hi! Happy Saturday!  Here's a card I made yesterday that fits with several challenges.

Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Flower Power, CASology: Bloom, colourQ #189 and CAS(E) this Sketch #28.   Can you believe that? 4 sketches!

  

 

I made this card because my daughter says I've doing too many geometric cards. This is for you Liz :-)

I first stamped the sentiment and then positioned it so I could see where to stamp the flowers. Then I ran the stamped flower panel through my Big Shot using the linen impression plate.  The sentiment panel is up on dimensionals.  That's about it.  This card will go into my stash for Operation Write Home.  If you haven't heard of it check it out!  Have a great weekend!

Supplies by Stampin'Up unless noted:
Stamps: Bloomin' Marvelous (SAB), Irresistibly Ikat (PTI)
Paper: Ruby Red, White 
Ink: Ruby Red, Calypso Coral, Certainly Celery, Versafine Onyx Black
Accessories/Tools: Framelits-Labels Collection, Linen and Canvas Impression Plate (PTI), dimensionals

Giddy With Excitement

Well I'm so excited. The card I submitted for the Dynamic Duos Challenge was picked as a Dynamic Darling.  Yay!

Well I'm off to my craft room for more stamping :-)  See you all later!
