Paper Players...Be the Star

Happy Thursday Peeps!!

Popping in here to share a card I made using the challenge this week at The Paper Players Blog.

The challenge is to use some form of transportation.

I didn't have much to use for this one, but remembered I had a few if these motorcycle images from the Stampin Up Rev Up the Fun stamp set.

I pulled one out to use for this fun card.

The image is stamped with black and colored with some daffodil delight and smoky slate ink.

The base of the card is Smoky slate and then a layer of Silver Foil paper. On that is a layer of Basic Gray that I embossed with the stars EF.

Next is the motorcycle image cut with a circle die and then layered onto some daffodil delight that is die cut with an inverted scallop die. I added this to the main piece with some dimensionals.

Next is the DSP layer which comes from the Moonlight paper stack and is matted with more daffodil delight.

I added two small flags, one cut from silver foil and the other with daffodil delight. 

The little sentiment is from the Be the Star stamp set.

Well, that is all from me for now

Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet Sunday.....Rev Up the Fun

Happy Sunday Peeps!!

It is Sweet Sunday Sketch Day 

Here is the sweet sketch Karen has for us this week:

I pulled out a fun set that is retiring from the Stampin Up catalog and is no longer available. I love this fun set called Rev Up the Fun. I was down to the wire making this card so I went fairly simple, but I still like how it came out.

I started with a base of real red card stock and used the Off the Grid stamp with real red ink and stamped the image a few times around the card base.

The next layer is white followed by some Silver Foil card stock. I embossed using the Chevron EF.

I like the masculine feel to this card it could be used for a little or big boy.

The image was stamped with black stazon and I colored it in with some red and yellow and a bit of gray.

The sentiment comes from the same set and was inked using black stazon and my real red marker.

I added the image piece and sentiment piece using foam tape.

Now let's see what the rest of the girls did with this fun little sketch:

Rev Up the Fun

Happy Sunday peeps!!

So sorry for the long silence, I have been crafting just not much card making, more on that in a bit

I wanted to share a card I made for the color challenge in Splitcoast,

This was the colors for 9-24:

The dessert option was to use the Chalboard Technique. This is a technique I had played around with a bit but not much so I decided to give it another whirl.

I pulled out this new to me set from Stampin Up called "Rev Up the Fun" and went to work.

I first pulled out some Basic Black card stock and used my Embossing Buddy to cover it just to try and keep the specks to minimum. 

I stamped each element with Versmark and embossed with White Embossing Powder seperately. (embossing with heat gun after each element).

All images and words come from this same set. I then used a sponge and some craft white ink to sponge around to add the "chalk dust look".

The lines around the panel was added using the new Chalk Marker from Stampin Up, I really love that pen.

I then stamped the "every day can be" part of the Joy Ride sentiment onto some white card stock using Gumball Green. I clipped the ends and curved it a bit and added it to the panel with some dimesionals.

I added some green "Candy Dots" and the green strip with some Black Rhinestones. Finished it off with clip and a bit of Gumball Green Ribbon.

I think it turned out great and I love that I was able to make a Man Card, which is not my forte.

So a bit of what else I have been up to lately:

Been making a ton of "Prim Pumpkins" I love primitive decorations and once I start something I tend to get a bit obsessed. 

I have been selling these locally and even shipped a few to customers. If you like and want any just shoot me an email!

A few more things I been working on:

I LOVE these Sunflowers: They are Super easy to make and have twigs for stems!

I also have been working on some Prim Christmas items, more on those later.

Thanks for stopping by and I will have more cards to share later, so did give up on me! :)
