Simon Says Stamp Challenge Transport and Moxie Fab World: The Mixy-Matchy Style Challenge

Hello! Today I am back with a card for Simon Says Stamp Challenge's Transport Challenge and Moxie Fab World's The Mixy-Matchy Style Challenge. For the Simon Says Stamp Challenge, I chose to paper piece a hot air balloon. For the Moxie Fab World Challenge, I decided to combine stripes and polka dots. To paper piece the hot air balloon. I stamped the balloon on patterned paper from the My Mind's Eye Reunion 6x6 pad and on white cardstock. Then, I colored the basket on the white piece and diecut both pieces of paper. After diecuting the polka dots, I went around the edge with a white gel pen and cut off the basket. Finally, I adhered that piece to the white piece.

10 Minute Craft Dash #19

Hello! For this week's 10 Minute Craft Dash, the colors instantly had me thinking nautical. But then I saw this card by Loll Thompson and switched to rainbow.

CD_19

Here is my card with a total of 8 minutes and 20 seconds:




















Sorry for the bad photo... the vellum was really hard to photograph. To make the rainbow, I first covered a piece of white cardstock with Provo Craft's Terrifically Tacky Tape but did not pull the liner off. Then, I grabbed two of Lawn Fawn's Circle Stackables dies (I skipped a size in between the two) and hung them off the edge of the cardstock. After I diecut that, I cut out two clouds (I flipped one). I then peeled the liner off the rainbow and begun adhering the twine. All that took 4 minutes and 46 seconds!

Supplies

Paper: Kraft (Recollections); White (Georgia-Pacific)
Patterned Paper: Dear Lizzy Neopolitan 12x12 (American Crafts)
Stamps: Partly Cloudy (Lawn Fawn)
Dies: Circle Stackables, Blue Skies Lawn Cuts (Lawn Fawn)
Twine: Lemon Lawn Trimmings, Lime Lawn Trimmings, Peppermint Lawn Trimmings (Lawn Fawn)

FUSION Hypothesis #10

Hello! Today I am making a card for FUSION's Hypothesis #10! When I saw the sketch, my head was swimming with ideas, but the final product wasn't one :)



I decided to use just the sketch this week (I flipped it) and came up with this:

Here is a close-up:










I had to do a little stamp surgery for the second part of the sentiment because it orginally read "wishing happy birthday to you". I then stamped the "beyond measure".

Simon Says Stamp Challenge: Masculine/Father's Day

Hello! I decided to participate in Simon Says Stamp Challenge's Masculine/Father's Day Challenge today. I don't normally make masculine cards, but after seeing all the inspiration from the design team, I decided to try it!






 
Although you don't have to use Tim Holtz products, I did. I used Antique Linen Distress Ink in two different ways. For the first, I put ink directly onto an acrylic block and then put on the paper. For the second, I applied the ink directly to the paper.
 
Supplies
 
Paper: Kraft (Recollections); White (Georgia-Pacific)
Stamps: Say Cheese (Lawn Fawn); Numbers (7 Gypsies and Hampton Art); Teeny Tiny Wishes (Stampin' Up); Polka Dots (Inkadinkado)
Ink: Tuxedo Black (Tsukineko); Antique Linen (Tim Holtz)
Punches: Decorative Label (Stampin' Up)
Washi Tape: Recollections
