Friday 2 card challenge - LSC248

Here are my two cards for today's Limited Supplies Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers. The challenge was to make 2 cards with different layouts from the same image and colors. I got this gorgeous color combination from Stampin Addicts. So Saffron, Always Artichoke, Rich Razzleberry. I really love Rich Razzleberry from this year's In Colors!


My first card takes a layout from Clean&Simple Stamping. On both cards I popped up the flowers with stampin' dimensionals.


This card layout I made up! I decided to change the placement of the eyelets on this one, so they weren't in the flowers. But I miss that brightness in the flowers from the first card.

Stampin Up stamps: Embrace Life, Delight in Life, Goody-Goody-Gumdrops
Punches: Word window, modern label, oval, scallop oval, corner rounder

Two cards on Thursday

I've been making so many cards recently, I thought I would upload 2 today!


The first one is for the Diva Coffee Break Design sketch. It uses a portion of the sizzix die "Join the Cheer". I added a bit of piercing and a designer brad in the "o". Fun sketch!


This one is for Pals Paper Arts KISS challenge - Keep it Simple, Sweetie! Nothing hard here, just a horizontal slot punch and tied ribbon. I inked the sentiment and snowflakes in Chocolate Chip ink on Chocolate Chip paper so its fairly faint.

Butterfly

Here's the card I made last night that I'm quite pleased with.
I made it for a challenge on Splitcoast - CC246 - Old Olive, Bermuda Bay, Pretty in Pink
I also used the Fall-to-layout from Clean&Simple Stamping - FTL67

I texturz embossed with the Big Shot using small dots and large dots. The butterfly is textured and the pink panel and Bermuda panel.

Stampin' Up! supplies: Butterflies die, texturz, scallop edge, scallop circle, circle punch, eyelets
Colors: Kraft, Bermuda Bay, Pretty in Pink, White, Old Olive

Remake to Easel

I took one of my favorite cards and make it an Easel Card. I think it really adds a lot to the card and I love it! It's really easy to make. I made 3 slightly different with different ribbons. This was one of the cards my stamp club made.


Here's the side view. It's just half a piece of cardstock folded in half, then folded in half again. I attached a quarter piece of the same color green cardstock on top of that for the card front. It is flat just like a regular card, but then when it opens up you can prop it up to stand up. I used a row of brads to keep it up.

Here's a close up of the ripping and piercing details. I used a stamp from Autumn Days and colored with marker. Then just stamped in a circle shape. It creates this wonderful wreath.

This is the bottom panel. The texturz embossing came out so lovely! The button is covered with crystal effects. The sentiment was cut out with oval punch and popped up.

Stampin' Up! supplies: Autumn Days, sentiment from Gifts of Christmas, Big Shot, texturz, ribbon, brads, snowflakes die, button die, crystal effects, oval punch
Colors: Old Olive, White, Kraft

Ejoy 2 fold - again!

I made another card today which also fits with my Ejoy challenge. I folded and tore the paper as well. This card is also for CAS42 on Splitcoast - Sponging. It uses FTL68 from Clean & Simple Stamping I love the layouts on that site. I think I'll use this one again!

My card uses Boho Blossoms punch - layered. I love how that looks. I sponged around the outside and on the flowers. There's a row of piercing on the pink.

Stampin' Up! supplies: Fresh Cuts, Boho Blossoms punch, eyelets, double stitched ribbon (retired)
Colors: Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry. There's no white on this card!

EjoyVC12 - TWO FOLDS

My challenge for today.... TWO FOLD. I'm not talking about the type of fancy card fold, but I'm talking about a piece of paper on your card as your decoration. Have two folds on the decorative part of your card front (or other project). I'd love it if this was an inspiration for you to be creative today. I welcome you to come play along. Please link your creation to Mr. Linky and you can use the code words EjoyVC12 if you're uploading to another online gallery.

Here's my card for this challenge...I thought it would be fun to use a lot of In Colors - Rich Razzleberry, Dusty Durango, Bermuda Bay, Soft Suede (and neutral Sahara Sand). I thought the tree looked kind of cozy in its little "blanket". Here's a close up of some of the extras.
Stampin' Up! Supplies: Branch Out, Sincere Salutations, little leaves sizzlit die, Big Shot, oval punches, pewter jumbo eyelet, linen thread. Don't forget the piercing and tearing!

Sketch x2

Today I thought I'd quickly do 2 cards for the sketch on Splitcoast Stampers. I like how they both turned out. I made them both with My Digital Studio. Can you tell I'm loving that program! The nice thing about making them by computer is they are easy to e-mail. I know e-mailed cards are not nearly as nice and don't have the 3D paper-crafting effect, but it's better than nothing! When a situation comes up, you don't want to wait a week for the card to get there!

Today or tomorrow I'll get back to paper-crafting with paper, not just computer. I need to make an EASEL card! Never tried it yet, but am excited to. Stay tuned to see the finished product.
