CAS(E) This Sketch #34

Hello everyone! Hope you are having a fabulous weekend so far.

Here's a card I made for my nephew's 14th birthday (ok, its not until November but still on my to-do list!) inspired by this week's challenge at CAS(E) This Sketch.

I used some older (but still good) patterned paper in my stash. I popped up the 14 cut out from the pattern paper and heat embossed the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies:
Paper: Memory Box, Bazzill Orange, & October Afternoon Road Trip
Stamps: PTI Birthday Basics

Papertrey Ink June Blog Hop

Welcome to my little crafty blog! This month's challenge features GOLD which is really trendy right now.

For the challenge I made two cards. The first uses the new PTI set Round Repeats in gold on a black background. I think it makes for a really elegant card. Sentiment is from Inkadinkadoo.

The second card features the PTI Out to Sea set. I created a diagonal background of anchors using Momento Nautical Blue and Brilliance Gold inks. I added a strip of Enchanted striped patterned paper along the inside edge so its peeking out because of the smaller card front.

Thanks for stopping by! See you around the Blog Hop!

Summer Card Camp 2 Challenge

Summer card camp at onlinecardclass.com is starting soon and the gals there have started us off with two great challenges to get us warmed up.

The first challenge is a color challenge.

I used my new PTI Live Life Love set with Melon Berry, Soft Stone, & Hawaiian Shores inks. The matting and sentiment is in Smokey Shadow.

Got a couple of weeks before start of class so I might get a chance to make another card using this combo. Now to try the sketch challenge which is a little harder for me.....

Sign up for class and play along with me...

Thanks for stopping by!

Make It Monday #121

This week's Papertrey Ink Make It Monday challenge featured colored vellum flowers. I rarely use vellum anymore so this was a great challenge for me. The video featured large flowers which would be easy to color after embossing. I don't own any large flowers so I borrowed this Hero Arts flower stamp from my new local crafty friend Nelia. The flower is colored with PTI Winter Wisteria and I added a touch of Raspberry Fizz to the Winter Wisteria center for some variation. The sentiment and die is the PTI Half and Half set.

This card will be perfect for my cousin's birthday next weekend. She LOVES purple.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Card & A New Friend

Here's a card I made using the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch this week with inspiration from the CASology challenge 'FISH'.

I white embossed the pretty sea images (Hero Arts) onto a paint chip and also embossed the sentiment on the bottom from PTI Daily Design Sentiments. Card front has a touch of texture from the PTI linen impression plate.

I made this card with a new friend Nelia I met online (she's on the right in the pic). After seeing her work in many of the same challenges I play in and checking out her blog, we realized that we live in the same town. Small world right? I spent a fun evening this week at her place playing with her supplies. She suggested using the graduated colors on the paint chip.

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Round Repeats

Its a great day when a fun new stamp set arrives in the mail. Papertrey's new Round Repeats screams me and I couldn't wait to ink it up and start playing.
