It’s the 15th  of the month, so I’m sharing my DT card for QKR Stampede. Stop by the challenge which is always “Anything Goes” and several prizes are awarded. Maybe you’ll be inspired to enter a card or two yourself? 

Graduation season is in full swing, so I’m busy making cards. This slimline card features an image from Eureka Stamps (I used a wood-mount stamp that I’ve had in my collection for a few decades, long before I discovered digi images!) The card is for a friend’s son who is graduating from a nearby high school. Their colors are purple and white, and their mascot is a bulldog (hence, the pawprint sticker embellishment!)

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Eureka Digital Stamp (Boy Graduate) Also available in unmounted or digital.

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

·   Paw Print Sticker- Hobby Lobby

·   Front Sentiment “Congratulations” Paper (from my scrapbooking stash)  

·   Inside Sentiment- Desert Diva Freebie (Graduation is not the end…)  

·   Diploma with bow- Cut from scraps

·   Star template, cardstock, glitter paper, and other items from my stash.

Papercraft Challenges: Challenge #82 - Add Bling 

This is my second entry into the current Butterfly Challenge, which is one of my favs!  Each challenge offers several colors and themes we can use on our cards, plus provides instructions for a creative fold that we can use if desired. 

I made this card for an earlier challenge that featured a Collar Fold, but I didn’t get it entered in time. So… just found it and since it features two of the colors (Amaranth and Asparagus), and two of the themes (2 Design papers and Butterfly) for the current challenge, I’ll enter it now.   I decided to decorate the inside of the card with scraps of the papers used on the front, and will add a specific sentiment later.

 

Supplies: 

·   Butterfly Punch- Martha Stewart

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

·   Instructions for Collar Card available HERE

·   Acetate Transparency film, black embossing powder, cardstock, and other items from my stash.

This is my second entry into the Double D’s Challenge, another of my favs! The current photo theme includes birds, so I dug through my collection of bird digis. I found this cutie from a Beccy’s Place digi set, his name is Wilson (I love that Beccy names all her characters!)  The look on his face inspired me to find a humorous sentiment… and this one from one of my favorite freebie sites is the perfect fit! (And the sentiment kinda describes how I am feeling these days! Ha!)

Supplies: 

·   Bird Digi- Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Feathered Friends)

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

·   Sentiment (divided between front/inside) Gingers House Freebie (I am not an Early Bird)

·   Upcycled calendar page, vellum scrap, pheasant feathers, and cardstock from my stash.
