Wish Big - DTC Challenge #146 "SomeThing, AnyThing, EveryThing"

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble #146 "SomeThing, AnyThing, EveryThing" (aka AG) with Twisted Sister's optional twist using one or more or combination of:  A. Food/Beverage, B. Checkered pattern, C. Insect. 

Double Dare offers additional chances when you combine your card with our other previous partners and my choices were ColorMyHeart Color Dare #563 "TicTacToe" and Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #540.  

Twisted Sister's optional twist A. Food and/or Beverage... a hamburger die cut using a variety of cardstock colors. Also die cut a tag layered with Sapphire and adhered the hamburger using 3D thin foam tape for dimension. Die cut a bow and placed in hole of tag.  

My background papers were inspired with the colors of Labor Day (red, white and blue) and Twisted Sister's optional twist B. Checkers was one of the designs with the other two stars and stripes.  Thought Wish Big was a good sentiment for this Big hamburger and stamped on bottom r-h corner with Sapphire Ink.  

Optional Twist C. Insect... my thought was not to use an insect because I didn't want to spoil the deliciousness of the hamburger. But I found this adorable teeny weeny ant stamp and what is a picnic without an ant and better than annoying flies and bees.  So... a couple ants were stamped on the checkered tablecloth where they could be brushed off before they got to the hamburger. 

Ants favorite human food is sugar, so I distracted them from the hamburger and guided them to the inside of my card with a piece of watermelon, another favorite food for a picnic, and the ants happily enjoyed the picnic too.

Sending You Love Sweet Friend - Color Dare #562 - One, Two, Three

This is my Design Team project for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #562 selecting two colors (Whimsical and Pink) using the Try Stampin' on Tuesday's Sketch Challenge #619.  

Just acquired this cute Bunny stamp set which I was anxious to use.  For a better fit of my images decided to rotate sketch to portrait.  Stamped main image in black ink on white cardstock, colored with copic pens, partially cut the rectangle leaving one side with  bunnies off the edge and bordered with Mulberry cardstock.  The background paper was perfect for my colors, and the background and other cut panels were bordered with same cardstock.  

The bunny lifted in the air by balloon was stamped, colored, fussy-cut and placed on card so the balloon was the circle embellishment in the sketch.  Sentiment was stamped on white cardstock bordered with Mulberry cardstock and adhered on top left-hand side of background.  On the inside corner simply stamped in black the same bunny.

Hello Double Trouble #145 "Scrapper's Gorp" with TSOT

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble #145 "Scrapper's GORP" using Twisted Sister's optional twist to create a card using Try Stampin' on Tuesday's Sketch challenge #620.  Choosing a Scarecrow stamp set was perfect for piecing my GORP and CTMH paperpack "Cozy Up" was ColorMyHeart Color Dare TicTacToe Board #561 with a good selection of colors and patterned papers.   

The Scarecrow was first stamped on White Daisy cardstock for layering the different patterns of design papers.  Several of the design papers were stamped with the Scarecrow stamp and then fussy cut the different pieces of clothing for layering with 3D thin foam tape.  I probably spent more time on deciding the combination of where the pieces were being placed.  Additionally the paperpack did not include a small floral so had to go through my stash to find a small floral with colors that matched the board... I was successful. 

The face and hair were colored with Copic pens and I tried to make the face look like burlap by using brown, honey butter and Shortbread and then lightening with colorless blender.  I needed to get some green in the image to complete a row or column, so the straw was colored with a light green (either Sage and/or Rosemary) which then completed either Row 1 or Col 3. Pieces were placed with 3d thin foam tape for dimension and set aside until the background was completed.   

I also chose to use the patterned papers for more GORP... the background with a plaid, a checker and a polka-dot all bordered with Honey Butter.  A circle sentiment was cut from Mocha and adhered to the smaller panel, with another sentiment stamped in the bottom right-hand corner.

Also, stop on by at Try Stampin' on Tuesday to see how their Design Team has incoporated our challenge with their Sketch and have been inspired with how some used our "Scrapper's GORP" in their projects.

Celebrate Your Day - Color Dare #560 "Fancy Five"

Here is my Design Team Card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare Challenge #560 "Fancy Five". Remember, back a couple weeks ago I created a second background using the same technique from an Instagram reel by #Melissascraftingtreehouse).  

This challenge contains the same colors (Melon, Sundance, Sage) so the left overs of the combination of my Mix-In patterned paper cuts were used for this card too. However the background did not have any Melon patterned paper so added a thin border of Melon to the background and a second cut of a melon tag which was offset to the top and right side and stamped the same sentiment on the white tag.  

My theme was a birthday card using a chick with a balloon.  Stamped chick directly on the background and adhered sentiment tag just over the right-side of the stamped chick leaving his legs exposed and prepare for piecing.  Stamped same chick on Sundance cardstock, fussy cut chick with flowers and adhered over the background stamped  image. Stamped flower portion of Chick on white cardstock, colored and adhered over flowers on chick.  Stamped the Balloon portion on the melon patterned paper, fussy-cut and pieced on background stamped chick. 

Click HERE to see my card using same background technique and colors from a previous Color Dare challenge.   

Inside of card:  Used some of the additional scraps used in background for a corner embellishment and a left-over flower from previous card.

Tickled Pink for You - Double Trouble Challenge #144 "Woody" partner with FarmQuest "Pig(s)

Here is my Design Team card for Double Trouble Challenge #144 "Woody" with requirement to use woodgrain and opted to use Twisted Sister's Twist to "include a Piggy" which is a requirement for FarmQuest Challenge #33 "Pigs".  The Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch #616 was perfect for woodgrain and instead of a circle used a square frame and even included their twist behind the floral "a summer drink" behind the floral. The ColorMyHeart Color Dare Challenge #558 "TicTacToe" had great choices and my choice was to use Row 1: Melon, Sundance, Sage + Capri).  

The background was my woodgrain requirement... smudged edges with Nutmeg ink taking on a barn texture and added a small border of melon cardstock also smudged. The banners were two patterned papers, with woodgrain strip between each, smudged edges with Nutmeg and adhered direct to my woodgrain background.  

The frame for piggy was cut with same woodgrain as background in a different direction, and another panel cut for the background of the frame in same direction as background. 

A lot of fussy coloring and fussy-cutting... piggy, flowers and cup using Copic Sketch Brushes in colors closest to Melon, Sundance, Sage and Capri and adhered in frame with 3D thin foam tape for dimension with additional flowers on two corners as the  embellishments shown on sketch.  

Sketch didn't require a sentiment but one was added in the bottom right-hand corner using Melon cardstock and stamped with Nutmeg ink. This was a big challenge to get all the ingredients in from the four challenges, many cuts, replacing and removing pieces, until it finally came together... and I'm so happy with it, hope you enjoy this card too.    

Inside of Card:  Used the outer frame, which would have gone in stash, adhered to the inside card base and stamped a sentiment in frame.  Stamped some flowers on white cardstock, used the background elements with closest row one colors and adhered under the frame, some fussy-cut on top of flowers and adhered to the frame bottom leaving space on bottom for personal note.

Celebrate Your Day - Color Dare #558 "TicTacToe"

Here  is my Design Team Card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare Challenge #558 "Tic Tac Toe" I saw a reel on Instagram #Melissascraftingtreehouse that would be perfect for a combination of my Mix-In patterned papers for the colors I chose (Row 1: Melon, Sundance and Sage).  It's a colorful and fun background to put together and in fact had left over scraps to do a second card, with same colors in a future Color Dare challenge... you'll have to wait to see that one.     

The frame for sentiment was similar to the one in the reel... stamped Paper Sweeties sentiment "Celebrate Your Day" as it can be used for any occasion and loved the font.   Adhered sentiment direct to background.  

Some of the same patterned papers were used for stamping my florals (instead of coloring) and then fussy-cut (even though I had the thin dies) and adhered with thin foam tape for dimension on opposite corners of the sentiment tag.  Aside from the fussy-cutting this was a pretty quick card and if I had used the dies, even quicker. 

Inside of card:  Used some of the additional cuts from background on two sides and in the middle placed another flower between them.

Sweet Holiday Wishes "Christmas in July" Santa's Hat

This is my Design Team card for Double Trouble Challenge #143 "Christmas in July" partnering with with Jingle Belles Challenge "Santa's Hat". 

Still feeling the heat of Summer in Arizona I linked HERE again to listen to Christmas Carols. When going through my stash... found two cute reindeers, one with a Santa hat already stamped and cut, some patterned paper with Santa Hats and a coordinating polka-dot paper.  Picked up my Copic Sketch pens and started coloring.  Used the two patterned papers for my background and adhered the deer with 3D thin foam tape.  

Added little embellishments, a stamped swirl star on Coffee Cup die cut, a Christmas Present which was pieced with two design papers and sentiment  printed on the speech bubble die cut in black ink.
