Free Stamp Set

Beautiful Peacock Sale-A-Bration

Sale-A-Bration is still going strong.  I love free products.   I just received my Beautiful Peacock stamps and couldn't wait to try some of the great designs I've seen on Pinterest. The next ones I make will have the gold strip from the paper that is in the background.  These Peacocks really look nice with Eastern Palace Speciality Paper and Eastern Beauty Stamps.

I love the Stitched Framelits

What I did:
Stamps and Products: Beautiful Peacock (SU! 2018 Sale-A-Bration)
Cardstock & Paper: Dapper Denim(SU!) cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4,
 Lemon Lime Twist 4 1/8 x 5 3/8,
3 x 5.5 strip Eastern Palace Speciality Paper(SU!)
Whisper White cut from small stitched framelits
Dapper Denim cut from Medium stitched
framelits
 Ink:
Lemon Lime Twist (SU!)
Dapper Denim(SU!)
The rest:
Snail Adhesive(SU!)
Tear & Tape (SU!)
Simply Scored (SU!)
Scissor snips
Big Shot

I began by Stamping the Peacock on white cardstock.  I found that by stamping the feather (lemon lime) first I was able to line up the body easier.  Next, I centered the design in the small square framelit and ran through my Big Shot.  After I cut out the individual pieces, I stamped Beautiful Friend on the large Lemon Lime cardstock and put the pieces together.  Try to stamp first, then put your pieces together.

It's That Time- Get Well Cards Needed

CTS #156

I have been enjoying playing along with Case This Sketch  and the Muse Challenges over the past month.  I've really been able to stick with my resolution of submitting cards to weekly design challenges. This week's CAS(E) sketch is pretty straight forward.  Emily is the guest designer this week; her blog is so fun to look through.  I wanted to create a few of these.  Each one turned out a little different.  I need some get well cards and thought floral was a perfect focal point for this type of card.

Case This Sketch

This also fits the criteria for Muse challenge this week.  For the Muse challenge, I took inspiration from the tiny butterfly, the floral, and the layout.

Muse #252

I love how the colors blended together

What I did:

Paper: Cajun Craze cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4, Whisper White cut 5 1/4 x 4 1/8 Cajun Craze

Ink: Cajun Craze, Tangerine Tango, and Crushed Curry (All SU!), Moments Black (SU!)

Sponge Daubers

I started by inking up the dauber with the lightest color and worked my way up going lightest to the darkest.

The flowers were from an Older set I had, perhaps Tim Holtz.

Good Luck!

CAS(E) This Sketch #256

When I saw the Sketch this week for CAS(E) This Sketch, I thought I was going to have a little trouble.  As I thought a little about it, I pictured dice rolling.  This card was entirely done using my Cricut Explore Air.  I hope you like my take on this week's Sketch. I used a variety of shades of scrap gray cardstock, some Cherry Cobbler and Basic Black. I popped up one of the die to give the appearance of movement.

What I did:

Stamps and Products:

Cardstock: 

Smokey Slate (SU!) 11 x 8 1/2- scored at 5 1/2

Cherry Cobbler (SU!) 5 1/4 x 4 

Variety of Gray for the squares and sides of the dice

Thin Dimensionals to give a little lift to the Sentiment and Top die.

Sweeeet!

 This week I am entering a single card into two challenges. This is the first time I have participate din a Global Design Sketch Challenge. I tried to stay true to the original sketch.  I don't have the Lots of Labels Framelits, so I got creative with my Scallop Topper punch.  I also use my favorite Triple Banner punch and centered my small banners so I avoided having to hand cut the banners. I can never make my banners even.
The Global Challenge Sketch is below.

 I am also submitting this design for this week's Muse Challenge. I took inspiration from the Sweet sentiment, the sweet stamps, and the strawberries.

Here are my inspirations and Challenge sketches for this week:
