Friday Sketchers # 76

♥

This is my first time as a host and sketch designer at the Friday Sketchers blog!
On my card today I used a stamp by The Greeting Farm, Megan, she's my favorite TGF image! I think she is suitable both for a light and a darker skin tone, and her hairdo is fantabulous! =0) (Here's a card I made earlier with Megan: FS #67)
The circle tag is by Catslife Press, and the sentiment is by Whipper Snapper Designs.

I hope you'll take a look at the wonderful cards made by my DT sisters over at the Friday Sketchers blog, and that you'll find inspiration to make a card and take part in the challenge, there's a great prize to win sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs.

Here's the sketch I made:

TIOT # 41

Tuesday is here with a new challenge for the SCACD DT! Today we were to use metal on our cards.
Today I chose the wonderful Santa and Friends stamp from the Victoria Case for SCACD - Winter Wonderland Collection, colored it with Prismacolor pencils, cut him out with Nestabilities dies. Found this velvet ribbon and golden buckle in my stash, and I think it suited the card very well. ☺ Pluss there are 7 brads and 3 metal snowflakes on my card, think I did pretty OK on the challenge...

On the company blog Follow Your Heart you can see all the wonderful cards by the rest of the DT ladies!

Winter Wonderland Release Blog Hop

♥

I've been sooo looking forward to this release, now you all can get to see these fabulous stamps!
I just LOVE them, Victoria Case is one of my favorite stamp designers, and this time she's outdone herself!

Today we have a fun blog hop on the SCACD's DT blogs! We have made projects this time, not cards, so perhaps you'll get some nice ideas on what to make before the holidays. The starter point of our blog hop is at wonderful Susan's blog.

I'm a card maker, and when I am to do other kinds of paper crafting, I really don't come up with any genius ideas, so here's another version of a gift bag... Again I was inspired by my friend Elin, she's the best at making gift bags!

I've used the super cute BFF'S image (Best Friends Forever) from the Victoria Case for SCACD - Winter Wonderland Collection on my bag, colored with Prismacolor pencils. Cut her out with Nestabilities dies, and I think the Nestabilities Label 9 made a perfect handle to the bag! I've used the Poinsettia die by Boss Kut to make the flowers.

The Winter Wonderland stamps will be available in the shop tomorrow, Friday 16th, so get ready to shop, these stamps will be perfect for your holiday and winter cards!

Thanks for stopping by my blog,
your next stop in this blog hop is the fabulous Jennifer.

TIOT # 39 ~ Forever Friends

♥

First, sorry for being so late getting my card up on the blog today, I tried to finish it yesterday, but my hand is still in pain, so I had to put it aside last night and then finish it today...

Well, for today's Try It Out Tuesday at the SCACD's DT we were to use the new Elisabeth Bell for SCACD "The Special Edition Ornament Collection" stamps in a way that showcases their versatility. Fun challenge! I used two of the stamps, 3 French Hens and 2 Turtle Doves. (Yes, like in the carol!)
I colored them with my Prismacolor pencils and cut them out, left out one chicken and the doves, and put the cute girls together for a Friendship card. The sentiment is a Susanament from the the Hearts and Hugs collection.

On the company blog Follow Your Heart you can see all the wonderful cards by the rest of the DT ladies!

Other supplies I've used: Prima flowers, Kaisercraft pearls, Morocco lace punch by EK Success, Nestabilities dies, Cuttlebug embossing folder, QuicKutz leaves, June Bug paper pad by BasicGrey.
