Color Dare #658 - Just Because

This is my Design Team project for Color Dare #658. I did a search on what two colors go well with gray... well the first answer was Pink and Yellow as they can add warmth, joy, and a playful touch to your card designing... so this was my two colors of choice. Additionally I chose Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #635 and changed the arched window to an oval with one larger floral.    

I was inspired by a background I had seen recently on Pinterest; but wasn't able to find it again to give credit to the paper crafter... so my memory of this background is pretty close and I am happy with it. 

Most of my older CTMH paper packets have been sorted either by theme or colors so the packets will not always be identified. However, if memory serves me right, the pink floral has been a long-time Mix-In paper and the yellow a newer Mix-In paper. The gray papers were still in my Love Story paperpack, along with the floral sticker. 

Chose a black cardstock to apply the shapes but spent quite a bit of time on getting the shapes to line up. Adhered the shapes to the black cardstock leaving a peek of black exposed between each shape. 

Two ovals die cut one black and one gray patterned paper and adhered to background.  The floral was a sticker; fussy-cut, and adhered to oval. Different parts of flower were glued and some 3D foam tape to add dimension. Sentiment was stamped in black bordered with black and the inside right-hand border of card base decorated with the gray patterned paper.

DTC #194 3-2-1 Recipe "Summer Fun Fold" - Happy Birthday AND TSOT #673

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble #194 using the 3-2-1 Recipe "Summer Fun Fold" and combining it with our Sister Challenge, Try a Sketch on Tuesday (TSOT Sketch #673 ) which starts on June 23rd. This card will not be entered in TSOT challenge due to the backlinking rule but used as an example of combining the two challenges for interested participants. 

 

The 3-2-1 recipe had a requirement of a Fun Fold and the TSOT sketch was perfect to make it a Gatefold fun fold card.  It was easy to use the colors and shape requirements to complete the 3-2-1 recipe.  

Since one of my grandsons have a birthday July 3rd I thought this would be a great card for a guy who likes to celebrate July 4th so that was easy to include Twisted Sister's optional twist fireworks. 

   

Now the tricky part is I don't have any firework stamps in my stash. However, CTMH's Dandelion Wishes was a stamp set I had used quite awhile ago for fireworks, and it works. My three circle dies were cut using white cardstock, then stamped with the dandelion in red, blue and silver inks. These circles were adhered to the left side panel of an embossed layered panel, and other panel was left blank. 

To complete the card stamped a sentiment and bordered with red.  On the inside of the card used white cardstock bordered with red and stamped several dandelions in same colors.  Mission accomplished.

Color Dare #656 Thank You

This is my Design Team project for Color Dare #656 using the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #633. Chose a CTMH Toffee patterned paper for the background and bordered it with Harbour cardstock.  All the die cuts used for the floral and sentiment were cut from CTMH cardstock, closest match of the three colors in the graphic, and then adhered to the background direct and some 3D foam tape for dimension.  Fun sketch and perfect with our color challenge.

Try a Sketch on Tuesday #672 "Happy Father's Day"

This is my Design Team project for Try a Sketch on Tuesday (TSOT) Sketch #672  and combining it with our Sister Challenge, Double Trouble #193 using the 3-2-1 Recipe "My Guy".  

The TSOT sketch is perfect for layers and patterned papers. "My Guy", same guy,  but this time is a bird enthusiast and a Father's Day card. Used complementary papers from CTMH's Skylark paperpack and colors that went well with Kraft. The patterned papers were cut and bordered with Toffee (Kraft-like) cardstock and adhered to the white cardbase as in sketch. 

The focal point was a larger cut panel from the Skylark patterned paper and then cut to size and fussy-cut the bird to fall off edge of panel.  A sentiment was stamped on same as one of the panels, bordered with Toffee and adhered to bird panel.  

On the inside a couple of the patterned zip strips from the same paperpack were adhered to the right-hand border. 

Please hop on over to Try a Sketch On Tuesday, check out the Design Team's inspiration for this sketch and share your creativity... hope to see you there.

You may want to hop on over to our sister challenge, Double Trouble to see if you have already met their 3-2-1 Recipe ingredients. If you have, you can enter the challenge and be eligible for random drawing chances... or maybe you just have to add an ingredient to meet the requirement. Hope to see you there.

DTC #193 - 3-2-1 Recipe "My Guy" - Have a "tee-rific" Birthday

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble #193 using the 3-2-1 Recipe "My Guy" and combining it with our Sister Challenge, Try a Sketch on Tuesday (TSOT) Sketch #672 which starts on Jun 10th. This card will not be entered in TSOT challenge due to the backlinking rule but used as an example of combining the two challenges for interested participants. 

The TSOT sketch is perfect for layers and patterned papers... "My Guy" is a goIfer enthusiast and it was fun looking for complementary papers in his colors that went well with Kraft or Kraft-like colors. The patterned papers were cut and bordered with Toffee (Kraft-like) cardstock and adhered to the white cardbase as in sketch. 

The golfing bag consisted of three cuts, a corrugated blue paper and two Kraft-like colors which were layered and pieced for dimension.  This was adhered to the blue and white checkered panel. 

Also cut a tee and golf ball in Toffee and white glitter layered and placed next to the stamped tee sentiment.  

On the inside corner of cardbase another sentiment was added and some stamped golf balls.
