Too Late...

...and thinking I had posted this card earlier for the challenge over at Stamping 411.  Proves I have not had a very good day & need to get to bed.

Today's sketch uses a simple technique that we sometimes forget about -- Tearing! Tearing your cardstock or DSP adds great interest and texture and is a fast, easy and very inexpensive way to dress up a card or project!

Measurements -
1.Layer One -- Cardbase cut at 5.5 x 8.5", scored and folded
2.Layer Two -- Cardstock cut at 4 x 5.25"
3.Layer Three -- Cardstock of DSP cut at 4" wide and torn at approximately 4"
4.Layer Four -- DSP cut at 2.5 x 3.5"
5.Layer Five -- Cardstock cut at 2.25 x 3.25"

For this card I pulled out my DSP Woodand Park, but wanting to use a pattern that I hadn't used previously.  That is the best thing about the DSP from SU®, it is double-sided.  I love tearing, but am always very hesitant on tearing DSP, especially the ones you love so much, although once I start, there is no holding me back.
 
I stamped my image using Chocolate Chip Ink onto Watercolour Paper, grabbed my Aqua Painter & Garden Green Ink, & proceeded to colour the image.  I then stamped a flower image directly onto Watercolour Paper using Chocolate Chip Ink.  Cut it out & again coloured the image with Garden Green Ink & Aqua Painter.  I adhered it to the card using SU Dimensionals.  I used Chunky Sprinkles for the centre of the flower.

Supplies -

Stamp Set - Growing Green

Inks - Chocolate Chip, Garden Green

Cardstock - Chocolate chip, Watercolour Paper, Wild Wasabi

DSP - Woodland Park

Accessories - Snail Adhesive, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Aqua Painter, Chunky Glitter

Until next time, Enjoy!

Christmas Pressies...

I've been asked to make 12 Post-It Notes for small Christmas Gifts.  I wanted to keep them simple & not have too much on the front.  With being in your bag all the time, they tend to get knocked around a lot, so keeping them simple suited the purpose.

I've kept with the basic Post-It Notes Holder, as I don't think you can beat a classic.  It is so easy to make.

Cut a piece of cardstock 6 3/4" x 3 1/4"

Score at 3 1/2" & 4"

Embellish as desire

In this case, I printed all the names on the pc.

How easy is that?

Happy Birthday...

I've created this card for the challenge over at Creative Sketches  I've never attempted a challenge over there, but this one looked quiet good & immediately thought Male, along with the DSP- Woodland Walk from SU®  The jury is still out on this one, but think maybe it is starting to grow on me.

I've used both Very Vanilla & Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbons on this card.  I wanted to highlight the Very Vanilla in the DSP, while at the same time break up the joining of the DSP using Chocolate Chip.

I punched 3 stars using the small Star Punch & adhered to the DSP.  Using my 1/16" Handheld Circle Punch, I punched 3 dots using Chocolate Chip Cardstock  - a little fiddley, but it is what I had in my mind, so I had to fiddle for a little.  I then adhered these to the middle of the stars & applied Crystal Effects over the top to give a little more dimension.

For the sentiment, I used the stamp from Perfect Punches, stamped it in Chocolate Chip & punched out using Extra-Large Oval Punch.  I then adhered this directly to the DSP.

All in all, a very simple & clean male card!

Supplies -

Stamp Set - Perfect Punches

Ink - Chocolate Chip

Cardstock - Garden Green, Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip

DSP - Woodland Walk

Punches - Extra-Large Oval, Small Star, 1/16" Handheld Punch

Accessories - Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Grosgrain Ribbon - Very Vanilla & Chocolate Chip, Crystal Effects

In the meantime, why not have a go at the sketch yourself - I would love to see the results or better still post them directy to Creative Sketches.

Until next time, Enjoy!
