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

Good Morning Peeps!!!!

It's Sunday which means it's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch!!!!!! This card was made with the SSSC#38.

I used the "Thoughts & Prayers" Stamp set for the tree and for the sentiment I used "Falling Leaves". The base of the card is always artichoke, followed by some whisper white and then the artichoke DS paper is from a retired hostess print patterns pack. I wanted to work some really rust into my card to co-ordinate with the tree leaves. I searched and searched for some in my stash and finally came upon this piece from a retired fall pack, not sure of the name. I inked up the tree with markers in always artichoke, really rust and a bit of summer sun. I stamped onto whisper white and matted with artichoke. I used some small buttons from the earth element buttons for some fun accents on the tree. I threaded the buttons with some crochet thread, and added them to the tree with glue dots.

The sentiment is stamped with really rust ink and punched out with the word window punch. I matted on a piece of really rust cardstock punched with the modern label punch. I added some dusty durango ribbon with the polka dots to the back across the bottom of the rust striped layer and added a bow. The main image is attached to the base with some dimensionals.

Here is the sketch:

Good Sunday Morning Peeps!

It is time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge! Pinch me, I still can't beleive I am a Sweet Sunday Stamper!!!

Here is this week's sketch:



Of course my card is a bit altered from the sketch, my main image panel is a bit bigger than the sketch. I started the card with a base of dusty durango and followed that with some crushed curry and the DS paper comes from the Razzleberry Lemonade pack.

I used some more dusty durango and crused curry and an embossing folder for the side element. The stamp set is Branch Out and the sentiment comes from the Falling Leaves set, I just used part of the sentiment. For the bottom strip I used some dusty durango ribbon and the button comes from my stash and I was surprised to find it matches the crushed curry very well.


Don't forget to stop by the the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers to see more samples with this sketch:

Sweet Sunday Stamper!!

Good Sunday Morning Peeps!!!

I am super excited to share my card with you today! A few weeks ago I received an e-mail from Karen Giron saying she was putting together a sketch team for her Sweet Sunday sketches and she said she would like me to be a part of that team!!!! I screamed out loud!!! I was so honored and hesitated only a minute before shooting her an e-mail back saying I would LOVE to be part of her team!!!!

This was our first sketch:


I have to say I was a little intimidated by those tilted panels. I have been going through some of my older DS paper lately and using some of it. Some of my favorites, this is one of them, the retired Ski Slope.

I used the Punch Pals Stamp set, old olive and real red card stock along with whisper white of course. I don't have the new SU snowflake punch yet, it is on my next order so I used my MS punch.

I hope you will play along with us on this sketch. Karen has Mr. Linky up on her site, so you can link your creations over there. She is also offering some fun Blog Candy so be sure and head over there! And check out the creations of the rest of the fabulous Sketch team too!!!!
