DTC Challenge #153B "Recipe to a Happy Harvest" - Card 2 Happy Harvest

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble Challenge #153 "Recipe to a Happy Harvest" which includes at least 3 patterned papers, 2 embellishments and 1 Fall or Harvest Item. Twisted Sister's optional twist is to consider using Try Stampin' On Tuesday Sketch #632 and add a sentiment for another chance at the random drawing.  

When making another card for this challenge, I set it aside for a future date.  I had many additional pre-cut/layered patterns from the Gnome paperpack which I was able to put together for a second card. Chose three of the patterned papers but this time chose a Cornucopia image for my Recipe.  

Colored my image with Copic Sketch brushes using a variety of colors to match the colors in the paperpack, rectangle sized with part of the image fussy-cut and then layered with pumpkin cardstock.  Sentiment was stamped below the image on the larger panel and two green dots were added in the upper r-h corner to finish my "Recipe".  

On the inside of the card added some patterned paper to the the right-hand side border.  

 

I'm not laughing now because I got two cards out of my decision to use a striped turkey in my first card (see here).

You may also like to hop over to Try Stampin' on Tuesday, check out their Design Team members inspiration and see how easy it might be to combine these two challenges.

When it Rains Look for Rainbows "Pop-Up Card"

While making a Design Team card for a future Double Trouble Challenge I had one more sentiment printed and cut on a scalloped hexagon.  So one more Rainbow card in the making... using the same paperpack CTMH "Story Book" however a striped patterned rainbow paper instead, layered on a black cardstock border and then to the card base. There was sticker in the packet of a pretty row of flowers in rainbow colors which was adhered with 3D foam tape to the Scallop Hexagon die cut and adhered some grass below the flowers.  

When it rains, it pours and the flowers appear, but now we have to Look for the Rainbow... so easy, open the card... there's your rainbow and sunshine.  Pop-ups were made using Paper Smooches rainbow die and Whimsy's Up In The Clouds dies.

Happy Holidays - Double Trouble Challenge #128

This is my Design Team card for Double Trouble Challenge #128 "SomeThing, AnyThing, EveryThing".  Twisted Sister's optional twist to use "stenciling" somewhere in your project was perfect for my CTMH Cherish floral stamp, stencil and die set. I still need a few more Christmas cards and decided on red and green traditional colors would be used for my brush stenciling. 

Floral was stamped, three stencils were used for the different colors and cut with the thin die.  The green fern was colored with a dark green Copic brush pen, added white dots in the center of the flowers, glitter pen on the flowers and Novo drops to the berries.  

Had problem matching up reds so decided to use a black and white snowflake patterned paper (which has been in my stash before the Pandemic), and adhere it to Candy Apple cardstock and then to card base. Used thin foam tape on the floral and adhered to the snowflake background to add dimension. That paper looks so rich against the pop of the red floral. Sentiment was also on the Color Sheet, cut sentiment, added a very thin layer of Candy Apple cardstock and adhered direct to background.

Merry Christmas - ColorMyHeart Color Dare #528 "Wild Card"

It wasn't very difficult for me to choose my Wild Card colors for ColorMyHeart Color Dare's Challenge #528... love the traditional colors in Christmas cards and still needed cards for mailing.  So, I started out with using all the papers from Christmas Story and cut 1/2" strips of each patterned paper (about three of each) and I was able to make 3 cards with the same papers, but different.  Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch #586 was a fairly versatile sketch... instead of the rectangle panel it was replaced with the kitten stamped image.   

In my stash was Newton's Chrismas Kittens helping with the presents, or maybe not.  I took a couple patterns off the background and attempted to duplicate a couple of the strips for the gift wrapping (the dots and the stripes) using copic brush pens and the multi-liners "White" and "Gold". Newton's family were all colored with three shades of grey.  The sentiment was stamped on Mink cardstock and then layered a border of scarlet.

Greetings From Arizona - Cool Holidays

Here is my card for the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #12 Snowman. One of my last Christmas cards for this year and this card is for a very special high school friend back East.  This was such a fun card to make and I know she will enjoy it.  

I started with the Whimsy melting Snowman stamped on white cardstock and used a multi-liner black pen to add some melted snow below the fan to place a cup of hot chocolate.  Colored the image, stamped the sentiment and then cut out the top portion of the image for later placement on the background.  Cut, stamped and colored the cup of chocolate, placed on the bottom corner on the added melting snow adhering with thin foam tape for dimension.  

Now I needed to build the scene.  Selected a blue pattern paper for the sky and bordered with candy apple cardstock and adhered to cardbase. Cut a layered sun, colored, stamped sentiment on center cut of sun and adhered direct to background paper.   Cactus was cut (only partial used), and adhered to background paper. I had colored the flowers that were a part of the cactus die cut but wasn't pleased with the look, so went through my stash to find some small flowers.  Flowers stamped with candy apple ink, fussy-cut and adhered to cactus with glue dots.  The image was added to the background with thin foam tape.

Thanks a Buschel - Double Trouble Challenge #126 "Scrapper's GORP"

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble Challenge #126 "Scrapper's GORP" and my trail mix was plaid, stripes, checkers and dots.  Even used some GORP in Twisted Sister's optional twist to use the "paper piecing technique" on the little lady's clothing. We are partnering with Try Stampin' on Tuesday #584 and you can OPT to use their sketch, or not, but this is a perfect sketch for our Scrapper's GORP and meeting  Trouble Maker's requirement. 

Crisp Air was the perfect paperpack to use for a Fall card and had a nice selection of pieces I need for my GORP.  All panels were cut to size and borderd with Pine cardstock and placed on the cardbase.    My little lady was so cute... and she too liked to wear a mixture of patterns.  There was a lot of little fussy-cutting, and lucky that I find that relaxing and fun. She was then placed on the pollka-dot patterned paper with 3D thin foam tape for dimension.  The sentiment was stamped directly on the background.     

Special Notes:  Please note that Try Stampin' on Tuesday starts on Tuesday, Nov 22nd. If you post your project at Double Trouble on Monday, the 21st, you are still eligible to enter your project at TSOT. We are permitted to backlink for that Monday only. So be sure to visit again on Tuesday so you can post your card to the TSOT Challenge using the link provided above.

Trick or Treat - Double Trouble #124 - SomeThing, AnyThing, Everything

Here is my design team card for Double Trouble "SomeThing, AnyThing, EveryThing" using Twisted Sister's optional twist to include a wild life critter(s).  When I saw the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #497 it cried out to use this sketch for my last Halloween card... this was so fun sketch to work with all the variations of the sketch.  

In place of the banners on the upper left-hand upper border I chose to put a couple of candies peeking out from behind the two patterned paper rectangles.  The eyes of the bat were replacement for the two embellishments in the upper right-hand corner and another candy at the left-hand corner as the embellishment.  

A sentiment was stamped several times with pumpkin treat baskets bordered in black and then adhered with 3D thin foam for dimension and a place to stand the Witch Owl. Owl was stamped, colored and adhered to the background orange and black rainbow circle with 3D thin foam tape also for dimension.  All candies were fussy-cut with candies placed as embellishments, under the arm of the owl, her broomstick and adhered with foam tape.
