Just Fore You - ColorMyHeart Color Dare #448 Love Of Color

This is my Design Team card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #448 using Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch Challenge #509 and their optional theme "Masculine".  

Purchased some pre-cut Fun Fold card bases from The Paper Cut and thought the "Outer Stair Step Card" would be perfect for the TSOT's sketch.  Somewhat out of the box but I think it shows a good interpretation of the sketch and the colors in the Color Dare challenge were excellent colors for a masculine card... all colors except for the Peach were used.   

The golf bags were cut using three colors, layered and placed on the back two steps with a stitched border using sage cardstock the greens.  The golf cart was also cut using three colors, layered and placed on another stitched border using almond cardstock and embossed for a cart sand path. Two more cuts using the sage cardstock and stitched borders were cut to extend the grass across the card representing the panel in the sketch.  Another almond stitched border embossed for an extension of the cart sand path.  Finished card off with sentiments on the greens.  

Color My Heart Color Dare challenges are carried forward for two weeks so if you didn't share your project the first week you still have another week to enter that challenge... both of these challenges are on the side bar of the Color My Heart Color Dare challenge blog.

You Deserve a You Day - Double Trouble Challenge #84

Here is my Design Team card for Double Trouble "It's a You Day", using Twisted Sister's optional twist to "include bling" and sharing with our partner Stinkin' Inkers Challenge # "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun".  

Again, went through my container of unfinished Copic Class card kits and found a perfect girly-girl image... and much to my surprise all the coloring had been completed in class. Modified the image panel cut slightly and changed the design paper to strawberries instead of flowers.  Added the Nuvo drops and sentiment.  

At Double Trouble Our Things 1, 2 and 3 sure bring on some wierd combinations but I like to challenge them all; however, you have the flexibility of doing just Thing 1 to create a theme "It's a You Day" girly girl project and be eligible for our random draw.

For those that really like more of a challenge may want to include Twisted Sister's optional twist and/or enter at Stinkin' Inkers "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", our partner for this challenge, if you have met their requirement... and you will be rewarded additional chances for the random draw. Please join us for this fun challenge

Here is my Design Team Card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #436 "TicTacToe" which is the Color Palette for Daisy Meadows CTMH paperpack and I chose to use all the colors.  The Sketch used is from Heart2Heart and perfect for a variety of design papers. 

The floral design paper was used for my background, the other panels were cut to size using one of the other design papers and zip strips and placed as in the sketch.  The bunny in the basket and flowers were all fussy-cut from another design paper and adhered to the panels with 3D thin foam tape. Finished with a sentiment stamped in black in the upper left-hand corner.

Bam - Double Trouble Challenge #50

This is my DT card for Double Trouble Challenge #57 "Brown Bag-It Day", using Twisted Sister's optional twist "include red" and partnering with Crafting Happiness #50 "Red".  requirement "Kraft".  

In my stash I came across a little Kraft baggie and was going to make a Gift Bag; but decided to use it as a card background instead.  It looked like it would be a good BAM card; so I pulled from my stash the stamp and thin cut set for a super hero and a Bam Bubble from Paper Smooches.  The inside was completed with a few Bams, Boy Wonder and a Happy Birthday for my oldest kid and still a kid at 50... lol.  

To join us at Double Trouble all you need to create a project using Kraft. 

Then it's up to you whether you want to include Thing 3 Twisted Sister's optional twist "Red" for our 2nd week partnership at Crafting Happiness #50.   

Please follow us on Double Trouble Challenge and receive notices of our new challenge on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of the month, and if there is a 5th Monday we run a special one week challenge like this one for our "Something, Everything, Anything".

Happy Birthday - Double Trouble Challenge #57

This is my DT card for Double Trouble Challenge #57 "Brown Bag-It Day" (use Kraft paper). And if you use Twisted Sister's optional twist to create a kid's project and include a favorite item (toy, clothing) as a child and you will be able to also enter in Crafting Happiness Challenge #49... and who doesn't like a grown up purse when you're a kid. 

Found in Pinterest a tutorial by Samantha Clayton at Mixed Up Craft Blog "Handbag Fold Card", with all the dimensions and the YouTube shows how to put it altogether. An fun and easy card to put together.  All you have to do is choose your papers, embellishments and sentiment. Since it was a little purse I decided to put a pocket on the inside for money and/or a gift card. This purce fold, including the purse handle, creates a 5 x 7 card.   

  

To join us at Double Trouble all you need to create a project using Kraft. 

Then it's up to you whether you want to include Thing 3 Twisted Sister's optional twist "kids project" for week one, and just add red for week two challenge at Crafting Happiness.

2020 Calendar - The Cutting Cafe

Creative Creases has Memorial Weekend Extravaganza for "Anything Goes with a Fun Fold" and has waived the backlinking for this challenge.  Sure saves a lot of time in creating over this Weekend and still be able to show one of your favorite past creations.  

05/28/21 Resubmitted to:  

Creative Creases "Fun Fold Friday-Extravaganza" 

This is my project for The Cutting Café "2020 Calendar".  I didn't want to hide the beautiful floral background so I used some butterfly dies that were quite open.  However, because I'm addicted to layers, I got a little crazy and decided there should be a couple flowers in the corner and added a gem in the center.  And then...why not another butterfly on the window of the calendar since it didn't hide the vision.  The box was made with another coordinate design paper to hold a pen/pencil.  

Added a window to the front of the calendar holder, flipped to the side, adhered holder closer to left-side to allow room for a floral tab for each of the months using the smallest of the same floral. The calendars were printed on Vellum and adhered to the frame of each month. Using the same sizing as the calendar I created a backside to record events for the month and adhered to the back of the month calendar. Added a little bling to the window frame.  

On the back side of the Holder...another design paper was used to adhere the 2020 Holiday Schedule and another butterfly to match the one in the front left-hand corner.

Day 8 - A.M. - 2019 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop
(CLBH #1095)

This is my DT card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #368 "Inspirational Board".  Cut three die cuts of the pumpkin and vine (Chocolate, New England Ivy and Orange), cut and pieced the green leaves in between the orange and chocolate pumpkins.  Tried several design papers for the background and the purple just struck me as being an excellent contrast and brought in the grape color from the inspirational board.  And what goes with Pumpkin, you said it, Pumpkin Spice Latte or Coffee To Go please.  Sentiment was stamped with chocolate ink on Kraft paper and layered with the same design paper as the pumpkins.

Day 7 - P.M. - 2019 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop 
(CLBH #997)  

Told you I would be back with the To Go Cup with a Christmas design...stamped on white cardstock, colored with Copic Sketch brush pens in variable colors.  Found a green glittery paper that had the silver zip strip on top for the background and cut a snowflake border in white.  The sentiment and coffee steam was stamped with versa mark and then heat embossed with silver powder.  Cup was adhered beneath it with 3D thin foam tape.
