Blessed - Color Dare #366

This is my DT card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #366 "TicTacToe" using the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #339.  Loving all the design papers in Hawthorn this sketch was perfect for the flexibility to use many of the patterns which also meant using all the colors in the TicTacToe Board.  

Using the patchwork design paper...fussy-cut 3 strips of this pattern giving me the scalloped appearance from the sketch and used the corrugated design paper as the backdrop of the scallops.  The plaid was used on the upper half of the layout, adding a strip between the two patterns.  Placed a die-cut pumpkin (layered with thin foam tape for dimension) and a couple leaves on top of strip.  Die cut sentiment and sequins were added to finish off the sketch.

Grateful - Color Dare #359

My DT card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare Challenge #359 using the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #332. 

Chose to create a coffee, tea or cocoa theme at the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Caffeine Fueled Paper Play as a tribute to Craftin' Desert Diva's who have contributed, shared and sponsored so many adorable stamps and digitals.  All you have to do is pull out your favorite Craftin’ Desert Divas stamp or digital image and use a coffee, tea or cocoa theme and play along! 

The three colors I chose were Goldrush, New England Ivy and Sage + Peach and Neutral Brown. My background was design paper from "Cats & Bats", the scalloped border was design paper from "Hawthorne" and both were layered with NE Ivy cardstock. A ribbon was added down the middle of the card.  

Started with a White Scalloped frame, stamped leaves with black ink on NE Ivy cardstock, a couple of design papers and adhered leaves with 3D thin foam tape for dimension.  Found some acorns in my stash and added them to the bottom of the leaves.  

I chose the Craftin' Desert Diva's digital squirrel garden image, colored with copics and placed in the pile of leaves...which pretty much covered my frame. Die cut a coffee cup from Paper Smooches with a piece of the PML image from the paper pack to include the heart and placed so the bee appeared as the coffee steam.  Grateful die sentiment was cut from chocolate cardstock, layered and adhered to bottom r-h corner.

Candy Corn is a Vegetable, Right? - Double Trouble Challenge #37

This is my interactive DT card  for Double Trouble's Challenge #37 "Make Like a Tree and Leave" using the Atlantic Hearts Challenge #332 (turned landscape), adding S'more fun with Twisted Sister's "Fall Sweet Treat" and entered in The Paper Girls Challenge #183  "Falling in Love", our partner for this Challenge.   

What movie was this phrase used in "Make Like a Tree and Leave".  Hint given in this post will direct you to the answer, and if you add the movie name in my comments you will be eligible for a special random draw gift from me.  

I had so much fun putting this card together...already decided what I was going to use for my sweet treat and sentiment and design papers with trees and leaves.  Now all I had to do was put it all together...the challenging part.  

The card may be a little busy; but after all it's a Corn Maze nearby a forest of Fall colors. 

The corn stalks were cut using the striped pattern so that it would fade into the forest background. Used the same stripe for my other two panels and layered with another design paper. The cute candy corn was cut from Colonial White cardstock, colored with copic brush pens using orange, yellow and neutrals to mute the colors to match the background.

Three candy corns staggered and hand-printed speech bubble with corny sentiment were adhered to square panel. Additional candy corns were added on bottom right-hand corner. I went to bed knowing that I had completed my card; however the next morning another idea sparked ... adding a pull tag with a sentiment. Found a "corn maze" stamp in my stash, perfect, and decided to use Happy Halloween as the main sentiment. Pull out the corn candy on the bottom right-hand side and you have successfully completed the Corn Maze with sentiment. 

I was still contemplating whether to change my corn stalks and cut a couple strips in plain colors but didn't work for me...I liked the transition of the corn stalks against the background forest of trees and hope you do too.  The balance of the Fall background was added to the bottom of the inside.

Double Trouble #36 - TicTacToe Joy of Sets

DT card for Double Trouble "Round & Round" partnering with Joy of Sets TicTacToe #008 (Bottom Row: Plaid, Red, School) and using the Try Stampin' of Tuesday Sketch #421. Off to Cricut Design Space for School images ... found a cute backpack and cut from plaid design paper for my focal point; but later decided to use in the inside of the card because I wanted a sentiment also.  The other two panels in the sketch were replace with row of books and two pencils.  Needed something in the upper r-h corner and these little apple Sprinkles were in the mail...perfect for my corner embellishment.  

  

Was going to use this for my card front as my focal point but instead used it on the inside corner.
