Double Trouble #170 partnering with Park Hopping, My Happy Place

This is my Design Team card for Double Trouble #170 "YOU-nique Technique" and partnering with Park Hopping, My Happy Place "July".  Thing 1 Trouble Maker wants you do use embossing "Dry or Heat" and/or stenciling on your project.  

Thing 3 Twisted Sister wants you to consider using some water and/or theme park experience.  My initail thought was using a tube stamp I used several years ago for one of the water experiences; but I couldn't find my tube.  So my water experience went in the direction of Seaworld for the Orca (killer whale) experience.  If you want a splash of water to cool you off for the rest of the day sit in the first couple rows at the Orca experience.  

Using Lagoon ink I blended the background with a wave stencil, then used a cracked glass embossing folder to give it dimension and bordered with Lagoon cardstock.  Stamped, colored and used dies to cut the whales and fishies. Stamped sentiment on white cardstock, bordered with Lagoon cardstock and added the little fishies with 3D thin foam tape.  The inside of the card, stamped the right-hand bottom of the card base with waves and fishies.  

 

Please hop on over and join us at Double Trouble's "YOU-nique Technique" and check out the Design Teams inspiration, and then let us see what you create... hope to see you there.

And add some fun and join Park Hopping, My Happy Place and include some water experience and earn additional chances to our random draw.

Double Trouble Challenge #149 "Scrapper's Trick and Treat"

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble Challenge #149 "Scrapper's Trick & Treat". The Trick was creating a technique background... my Trick was brush ink blending over a tree stencil and then coloring the tree in black... and my Treat is an awesome background.  The stencil was also a Treat... I was one lucky winner randomly picked at the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #19 "Stars" and received a store credit to A Colorful Life Designs and this stencil was one of my picks! 

The slimline stenciled background was cut and bordered with black cardstock. A purple wacky frame was also cut and bordered with black cardstock... and all layers were adhered to card base.   

 

Twisted Sister wants us to dress up our background using Halloween images (cute or spooky) and join a Halloween Party at one of these parks... either at Disney's sweet "Not so Scary" or Universal Studios spooky "Horror Night".  I chose to do a combination of sweet and spooky so I could attend both parties...lol.   

Found in my stash a cute pup dressed up as a mummy and on the left-hand bottom corner of the card base adhered with 3-D thin foam tape. Cut a couple Boo sentiments with purple and white cardstock, layered and glued to stenciled background among the branches. From the same Paper Smooches die set "Halloween Icons" instead of using the Explanation point I substituted with a small ghost.  Also cut a spooky but cute spider, adhered to the bottom r-h corner and hand-drew a spider web from the branch.  

On the inside of the card, r-h border, adhered half a web-like doily from my stash.  

Please hop on over to Double Trouble  and check out the Design Teams inspiration and then let us see what you create... hope to see you there.

Congratulations - DTC #137 "Mother Goose"

This is my Design Team card for Double Trouble Challenge #137 "Mother Goose" in celebration of Mother Goose Day. From this list of 109 Rhymes I chose Eeny, Meeny, Miney Mo and used the element Tiger. I had so much fun with this card using Crafty Chemist Design pop-up card; but modified measurements for an A2 card.  

Twisted Sister's Optional Twist is to include at least one heart shape, the word heart and/or or the word love on your project to earn another chance in Double Trouble's random draw and be eligible to enter in Heart's Quest Challenge Blog #29 for another chance.  A heart was placed on the outside and inside sentiments.

Valentine Cards - Challenge #131 "Love Is In The Air"

Here is my Design Team card for Double Trouble Challenge #131 "Love Is in the Air" using Twisted Sister's Optional twist to use the Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch Challenge # 593.  

Going through Instagram I came across Jessica's #freshbyjess post "Been busy trying to use up paper vs hoarding it!". I took her advise and kept cutting pieces from CTMH "Smitten", mixing up the design papers and created three cards using the same sketch.  It's a start and a lot of fun but not sure I can keep up with it. I'll have to make it more challenging next time by rotating the sketch and/or using different sketches.  

Below are photos of the three cards uses pieces of the same paperpack and stickers.  Please stop on by at Double Trouble and Try Stampin' on Tuesdays for inspiration and to see what the other Design Team members and entrants have created.  Hope to see you there.
