Channel the Flannel - Color Dare #408 TicTacToe

Here is my Design Team card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #408 "TicTacToe" using the CTMH Timber paper packet and using the Mojo Monday Sketch #543 and the theme of the Coffee Loving Cardmakers "Caffeine Fueled Paper Play". Of course I loved all the design papers in this packet so looked for a sketch that was flexible enough for me to use both sides of all papers... I did it.  Colors included in my project were the Left and Right Diagonals of TicTacToe.   

Please pop over to ColorMyHeart Color Dare and Mojo Monday to see DT members' inspiration, along with other participants that have entered their challenge.

Happy Fishes - Color Dare #388

This is my DT Card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #388 using the colors in the Inspirational Board and the sketch at Mojo Monday #535. This Mojo sketch was exactly what I needed for my fish bowl, and the Inspirational Board was perfect for my fishies.   

Stamped all of he items from the Stamp Set, cut with my Brother Scan and Cut, chose the items one at a time, colored, laid out on the fishbowl, added my 3D thin foam tape and adhered to fishbowl...pleased with the fishbowl and set aside.  Next I selected and cut the design papers close to measurements on sketch, layered each panel with peach cardstock  and adhered each panel to cardbase.  Fishbowl was glued to my background panels, the sentiment stamped on the sign post and adhered with 3D thin foam tape.    

These photos better show the dimension of the fish bowl.

Happy Anniversary

This card is made for my daughter and son-in-law's Anniversary interpreting the MoJo Monday Sketch Challenge #531  

The papers in this packet were so pretty and combination of the designs was just perfect for an anniversary card. The Circle and banner are combined in my interpretation of the sketch with the swirly bird ribbon layered and adhered with 3D thin foam tape.  The other cuts were made to size and bordered with black shadow.

The inside of my card was decorated with some decorative frames and one panel left for writing a personal message.

Capture the Moment - Heart2Heart and MoJo Monday

This card was made for Heart2Heart theme challenge "All Spruced Up" using the MoJo Monday Sketch Challenge #529. Mojo Monday have all the measurements of the panels on their sketch so it makes it easy, no guessing.  And then all you have to do is get your inspiration from the papers you use and add some embellishments.  Chose to use the bird design paper in CTMH "Spruced Up" paperpack for my focal point, cut the panels in other design papers from the same packet, for the coordinating colors, and layered all with sangria cardstock.  Dies were used for my embellishment of fern and branches and berries added with Nuvo drops.  Also used Nuvo drops on the branch in the focal point and added a sentiment above it.

This is my Design Team card for the ColorMyHeart Color Dare Challenge #367 using the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #526.  My choices of color were Sage, Sangria, New England Ivy and Sage with a brown background.  The design paper used for my background is one of my favorite papers because it looks like corrugated cardboard which shows great dimension without adding thickness.  Stamped, colored, fussy-cut the To Go Cup and pumpkins and adhered with 3D thin foam tape on the Scribble Circle.

Sending Hugs - Color Dare #363

This is my DT Card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #363 using the MoJo Monday Sketch Challenge #524.    

My choice of using the MoJo sketch was the flexibility of using several design papers with the  CTMH Every Little Thing color palette.  I wanted to use the pretty floral which directed me to Row 1, but adding the additional design paper with Julep directed me to Column 1.  However, I was still missing one color in each of my choices.  So...Sapphire was pulled in with a zip strip and Pewter Ink was used in my sentiment.    

Stayed pretty much with the Sketch measurements and layout but instead of using a circle used an oval for the sentiment.

Little By Little the Bird Makes it's Nest

This is my Day 8 - AM Card 

2019 Spring / Summer Coffee Lovers BlogHop

Thank you Amy, Design Team for your inspiration, work and dedication for another amazing and awesome Coffee Lover's BlogHop and providing such an overwhelming array of some 80 Super Sponsors in support of your BlogHop.

This is my Design Team card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #342 "TicTacToe" using the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #515 and the theme "Floral" at Heart2Heart.  Chose a gold and white floral paper that I colored with Copic Sketch Brush pens, primarily Column 1: Peach, Mink and Gold + Fern, Heather and Linen.  The colors blended so well on this special design paper. 

My focal point is a nest of teacups, another one of the many Unity stamps I won last year at the Fall/Winter Coffee Lover's, and image was colored with the same colors as on the background floral. Die cut the Banner and stamped in Fern ink the sentiment.    

Would make a great Mother's Day Card but left it open with no sentiment to be used as a note card for any occasion.  

Please visit each of these challenges for inspiration and play along with us.
