It’s Wednesday, so time for another DT card for Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge Blog where challenges are also always Anything Goes and prizes are awarded from one or more sponsors.  Stop by to check it out!  My card features a sweet digi from All Dressed Up, that comes with the “magical” sentiment. I used a colorful Halloween napkin, from a pack I found at our local Dollar Tree, to provide the background on the front of the card and the inside sentiment. A sprinkling of rhinestone stars adds bling to the card.   

Supplies: 

·   Digi with Sentiment- All Dressed Up (Magical Day)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Sparkly Star Rhinestones- JoAnnes

·   Halloween Napkin- Dollar Tree 

·   Pioneer Black Photo corners- available from several sources

·   All other items from my stash.

When I was young, going to A&W for a root beer float was a major summer adventure. When I found a vintage A&W ad in a packet of ephemera that I stumbled upon at a local rummage sale (that was really a garage-sized treasure hunt!) I decided to make a card for one of my sisters, who also loved these yummy floats! I printed a copy of a Scribbles digi named “Beer Mug” onto white cardstock, stretching it a bit to be able to offer more height on the card front (you know, to hold more ice cream!) Then, laying a scrap of vellum on the digi, I traced, then trimmed just the mug section. I colored the backside of the vellum mug with a few shades of brown plus added dimension to the frosty mug and its handle with shades of gray. White and cream paper torn into circular shapes became scoops of ice cream that I adhered to the top and back of the colored mug. Scraps of vellum and a white gel pen created yummy foam (always my favorite part to slurp!) I finished the card with fun zigzag paper, the vintage ad, and computer-generated sentiments.  (I provided a close-up picture of the right section of the menu because the prices are definitely from the past. Probably about the date that a trip to A&W was a childhood treat! The price of a float- hidden by the mug- was a mere 35 cents!  

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Scribbles Designs (Beer Mug)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Sentiments- Computer Generated

·   Cardstock, vellum, vintage ad, foam tape, and all other items from my stash.

Crafty Hazelnut’s Patterned Paper Challenge- October      

           

I created this card, my final entry into the current Double D’s challenge, using one of my favorite wood-mount stamps from a company named Northwoods Rubber Stamps. When a friend and I owned a stamp store in the late ‘90s, this was one of the most popular stamp companies we carried, mostly because their wildlife stamps were so wonderfully detailed and realistic. (I recently discovered the company has a website and still sells amazing stamps. Although I don’t see this one in their listing, they have many rubber and clear-mount wildlife stamps available.) The shaped card template, appropriately named "Owl in a Hollow Log," is a freebie I found HERE. It was easy to print the template onto kraft brown cardstock and use accompanying instructions to add texture with brown ink and a white colored pencil. The sentiment is computer-generated. 

I’m entering this card into several challenges including The Paper Shelter (the main two colors

of my card are brown and cream) and Outlawz Challenge- Twisted Thursday-Make it Punny

(the computer-generated sentiment reads "Well Owl be... You don't look that old!" )

Supplies: 

·   Wood Mount Stamp- Northwoods Rubber Stamps (Owl) No longer available 

·   Owl colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Hollow tree colored with an ink pad and white colored pencil.

·   Foliage- Sizzlits Leaves and Branches Die and Memory Box Pinecone Corner Die

·   Sentiments- Computer Generated

·   All other items from my stash.
