Sweet Sunday......friends

Happy Sunday peeps!!!

Time for a new Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

Here is the sweet sketch we have for you this week;

I love a square card!

I am sharing another sunflower card, see yesterdays post if you missed my other one this week.

I started with a base of White card stock and then I used a layer of Early Espresso and the DSP on here is from the Neutrals Designer pack.

I made my Sunflower by first making a Rosette using my Score Board.

I then added  piece of sandable Early Espresso cardstock for my center.

The leaves are die cut with the Flower Flair framelits and then trimmed a bit. I then ran them through the Big Shot using my Woodgrain EF.

The Sentiment is from the Garden in Bloom stamp set.

I made my little sunflowers with a punch from itty bitty punch set.

Be sure and hop over to the Sweet Sunday Blog to see what the rest of the girls did with this fun sketch.

Sweet Sunday....Sympathy and Prayers

Happy Sunday Peeps!!!

Time for a new sketch challenge at the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge Bllog.

Here is our Sweet Sketch this week:

I started out with one of the new in colors, Watermelon Wonder.

Don't you love this new color?

The next layer is also Watermelon Wonder that I embossed with the Elegant Dots EF.

My main image is from the Wild about Flowers stamp set.

I stamped the stem/leaves part of the stamp onto some whisper white card stock using Old Olive ink and then I stamped the flower heads onto some scrap whisper white with Watermelon Wonder ink.

I then fussy cut them out and added them to the main piece using some dimensionals.

I matted this main piece with some Basic Black card stock and added it to the base with more dimensionals.

The black striped piece is from the Neutrals pack and I used just a bit of glimmer paper and my small banner punch for the flag element on the sketch.

I was in the need of a sympathy card this week so I pulled out the Petite Pairs stamp set for my sentiment. 

I added a few small basic pearls to the flower centers to finish up the card.

Be sure an hop over to the Sweet Sunday Blog to see what the rest of the girls did with this sketch!

Sweet Sunday.....Birthday Wishes

Happy Sunday Peeps!!

It is time for a new sketch challenge over at the Sweet Sunday Sketch Blog.

Here is the sweet sketch we have for you this week:

I love this one, it is so up my alley, all those layers and banners, OH MY!!!

I decided to use my Stampin Up Choose Happiness stamp set, this is one I have had for a bit and had not inked up. It is such a lovely set, not sure what I was waiting for. :)

 I started by coloring my flowers. I used my markers and used Real Red and Cherry Cobbler and a bit of Daffodil Delight for the centers. You know, after studying these flowers I think they very much resemble a Marigold, so you may see these soon in a pretty orange/gold combo.

I colored the leaves with some Wild Wasabi and Garden Green Markers.

I fussy cut them all out and added them to the small front square. The flowers are on dimensionals and the leaves are tucked around and glued down.

The base of the card is Cherry Cobbler cardstock and then a layer of Early Espresso. The next is a piece of naturals White and I used the Sunburst type stamp from the Kinda Eclectic stamp set in the middle of this piece. I also stamped the little dots from the same set across the bottom. I used Crumb Cake ink that I stamped off once before stamping onto the card stock.

The small strip across the bottom is Early Espresso and I used the Endless Birthday Wishes stamp set to build my sentiment. I used Versamark ink and then embossed with white embossing powder.

I added a few gold sequins and tucked in the bird from the choose Happiness stamp set. The small banners are Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso cardstock.

Be sure and head over to the Sweet Sunday Sketch Blog to see what the rest of the girls did with this fun sketch. We would love for you to join us and if you do please link up your card over on the Sketch Blog.

Sweet Sunday.......You're Earresistible

Happy Sunday Peeps!!!

Time for another new Sweet Sunday Sketch.

Such a fun sketch this week, you know I am a big fan of tilted panels a;tho this one kinda gave

me fits when putting my card together. LOL!!

I wanted to use my new Lawn Fawn set called Eggstra Special Easter. I got the idea to make my chocolate bunnies from one I saw on the Lawn Fawn Blog.

 I stamped the Bunnies with Versmark ink onto some Early Espresso card stock and embossed with white embossing powder. I colored the bows and ears with some colored pencils. I cut them out and set them aside to make up the rest of the card.

The base of the card is Crumb Cake card stock and then all the DSP is matted with Early Espresso card stock.

The DSP on here is from some retired SU packs.

The main panels is some retired bashful blue card stock that I embossed with another retired SU embossing folder. I hand cut some Pear Pizzazz card stock for the grass area.

The sentiment is stamped with Early Espresso ink onto some Crumb Cake card stock. I cut the end into a banner and curled it a bit. I attached it just under the bunnies.

I finished it up with a few gold sequins.

Now be sure an head over to the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge Blog to see all the amazing design teams creations with this fun sketch!

Sweet Sunday......Somebunny Shaker

Happy Sunday Peeps!!!

We have some exciting news to share this week!

First up is a new Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge Blog!

We are all thrilled to have anew home and a place dedicated to just our sketch challenge.

We are all pitching in on this so Karen is not so overwhelmed with running the challenge.

There are some new design team members, you will be excited when you see who! 

This week with all the the changes going on we decided to go freestyle, you can pick from any of the past sketches for your card this week. You can see them all HERE.

I decided to go back into the files and picked sketch 176

Well at least my version of it anyway!! This is a sketch I designed way back when so I thought it was alright to change it up just a bit!! LOL!!!

I decided to jump on board with the shaker card craze going on and make one

I used the MFT stamp set called Somebunny. This card was a real booger to put together, I had never made a shaker card before so it was an experience,  I need to work on my technique for making these but it turned out cute and that is all that matters right?

I picked up some fun sequins and stars to add to the shaker from work.

The image was stamped with black Memento ink and colored with my copic markers.

I cut my own banner myself since I don't have any dies like this, they are on my list to get tho. LOL!

 Under the banner is an acetate circle and two layers of fun foam that run the whole length of the banner. I cut circles in the banner with my circle dies. I glued this stack all together and added the colored image behind it all, first putting the shaker bits inside.

The DSP is some SU, can't remember name of the pack, the color is Strawberry Slush. I love that color!

I stamped the sentiment onto some white and curled it a bit and snipped the end.

I added it just under the circle and finished it with a button and some white bakers twine.

I added two white brads at the top that I cut off the back prongs and glued on using some crystal effects.

 OK that is all from me, head over to the new

SWEET SUNDAY CHALLENGE BLOG

and see all the design team cards.

Pick a sketch and link it up over there!

I am so excited about the new blog and our new designer team members
