RC Color Challenge + Seize the Sketch

Good morning friends! I'm popping in with the first of TWO Reverse Confetti cards for today - it's a Reverse Confetti party on my blog!

This card is for the new April color challenge...take a look at this graphic...

If you play along using your Reverse Confetti stamps, you could win $20 to spend in the store - SWEET! You'll find all the details, and a list of designers with amazing cards to share on the Reverse Confetti Blog.

Here's my card...

You know how I like to combine Reverse Confetti sets! This card uses Petals 'n Posies, Sweet Thing and Whole Lotta Dots. I've also used the Love Note Confetti Cuts and Petals 'n Posies Confetti Cuts.

The layout here is Seize the Sketch #18 - I kept trying to add more to this card, and it kept wanting to be quite simple (for me!)

You'll find more about the sketch on the Seize the Sketch blog, along with the DT cards! 

Where There Is Love

Good morning! I'm back today sharing a card using the new Seize the Sketch #16. I really wanted to play with some Verve goodies, and I got a little distressed with this card!

Here's how I used the sketch...

More Than Love released in February but this set is for so much more than just Valentine's day! I've used it to create an Anniversary card. I've also used the Flourished Trim die to border my two panels of paper, and the bow is Verve's Signature Ribbon Collection. The little banners were cut with the Banner Bundle dies. 

I used enamel paint for the dotting on the edge and around the circular panel. Those amazing hearts are heat embossed in black on vellum.

Here's a peek inside the card...

The sentiment here is from Love Story.

I hope you'll play along with us this fortnight at Seize the Sketch! Stop by the blog to welcome a couple of new sketchers and to see all the gorgeous cards!

Hi friends! It's the second day of sweet sneaks for SugarPea Designs and of course we're sharing an adorable...or ador-a-bull stamp set today!

EEK! What a cute two-some! I coloured with prismacolor pencils and odorless mineral spirits. The sentiment is stamped on vellum - my fave trick when trying to not cover up a colored image. 

The layout is the new Seize the Sketch for the fortnight. I hope you'll play along with us!

Here's a peek inside my card...

Crafty Friend

Hi peeps, I'm dropping in with my last post for Fresh Squeezed Stamps! I wanted to make a card that I could share with all of you to say thanks for your comments and crafty friendship!

Paper, Scissors, Ink just sums up everything we love about paper crafting! I've stamped on vellum with a pigment ink, and hidden my pop dots under the strip of light blue paper. Sequins and a die cut heart from Reverse Confetti's Love Note finish this simple design.

The layout is this week's Seize the Sketch!

Here's a peek inside...

Hang in There

Hi friends! It's my turn over at the Fresh Squeezed Stamps blog today. As I'm coming to the end of my term with Fresh Squeezed Stamps, I wanted to revisit my first set, String Me Along!

I paper pieced the lanterns, using a foam mat and large ball stylus to shape them before adhering with foam dots. It gives them a lovely rounded appearance.

The paper is Hey Kid by Pink Paislee. The layout is the current Seize the Sketch - there's still time to play! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Home.

Hi friends! I'm here sharing a card made for Fresh Squeezed Stamps, using the new Seize the Sketch layout!

Fresh Squeezed Stamps is having a Spring Cleaning sale, and this set, Friendly Folk is on the list! I hear you may even be able to win these stamps for your very own! Stop by the Fresh Squeezed Stamps blog for all the details!

Here's the sketch...

And my card...

I used some rustic feeling papers from the Basic Grey Fact paper pad, adding splatters of distress ink in barn door and paper piecing the house. I love that sentiment, it seems like it should be stitched on a sampler! I really love that rustic shaped heart as well.

Stop by and leave the sketchers some love, they have gorgeous cards to share!

Shore do Love You - Seize the Sketch #12

Good morning! It's time for another fabulous Seize the Sketch - and did you see the news? We have some awesome new team members!

Here's the sketch...

I've used my first ever Reverse Confetti stamp set today - Happy Harbor. I love creating little scenes with this one!

Valentine's don't have to be pink and red, right?! I've gone with a classic yellow and navy for my nautical themed Valentine. The Tag Me Confetti Cuts gave me a perfect focal layer, and I've accented with a heart from the Love Notes die set.

Head on over to the Seize the Sketch blog for some awesome design team eye candy! I hope you'll play along!

 Stamps: Happy Harbor (Reverse Confetti) Paper: Atlantic (Studio Calico) Ink: Lemon Yellow (MFT) Navy Shadow Ink (Hero Arts) Dies: Confetti Cuts: Tag Me, Love Note (Reverse Confetti) Banner (MFT) Other: Twill, Twine, Copics
