TMS #505

 

Hello Hello ~ 

Welcome to another Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge! Hope you will have time this week to come join us as we use a sketch from Melissa. 

I chose to make a simple Congratulations themed card. The sentiments are from My Favorite Things (Big Greetings -retired) and the flower stamps/punches are retired from Stampin Up!

Here is this week's sketch if you would like to try it out: 

As always, there is great Design Team inspiration for this week's sketch, you can find the other DT creations by clicking on their names on the right side of my blog.

TMS 504 - Happiest of Birthdays

Hello Hello!

Welcome to Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge#504! This week Melissa has a really fun and unique sketch to play with! I have not really seen a sketch like this before so it was a good challenge for me!

Most of the supplies on my card are retired from Stampin Up. The patterned paper is form last year's occasions catalog. The twine was a door prize I won at Camp Stamp In Oga. The enamel dots are from Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby brand - I love these!) The stitched square frame is from My Favorite Things and the Wavy Stitched border is a Lawn Fawn Die.

Here is the sketch if you would like to play along!

Hello Hello

I had a little extra time this morning so I decided to try the latest Monday Simon Says Stamp Challenge which is  "Cheers". I haven't played with my Tim Holtz Cocktails Blueprints set yet - so this was the perfect challenge for it. 

I colored the image with Stampin Blends then added a few layers of Clear Embossing Powder:

The sentiment is from a retired Stampin Up set.

TMS #503 - Special Day

Hello Hello

Welcome to Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge #503  This week's sketch was designed by Andrea! I decided to pull out another card kit from the past that has some pretty papers from Cosmo Cricket. I believe this is a Whipper Snapper image and then I used some of my coveted corduroy stampin up brads.

TMS #502 - Out of This World

HELLO HELLO

It's tuesday so we have another fun Tuesday Morning Sketch to play with this week. We are on Sketch #503. I have a monthly swap due on the 10th - and our theme is May the 4th. So I pulled out my Out of This World set from Lawn Fawn for it. I made 6 of these. I think they turned out super cute. 

I also used patterned paper from The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby) Star gems from Tim Holtz, and Silver Ribbon from Stampin Up. I colored the four images with my Stampin Up Blend Markers, cut them with my Scan-N-Cut 2, then popped them up on dimensionals. I do have the coordinating dies, but when making multiples of the same card the SNC2 is totally the way to go! 

Here is the sketch if you would like to play along!

Challenge Your Stash - Up Up and Away!

hello Hello!

Quick share tonight of a card I made for a Challenge Your Stash challenge group on Splitcoast Stampers. The focus of this challenge is to create a card using a certain theme (picked out by someone in the group) using only supplies from your current stash (no shopping is allowed)

Our challenge this month was to use the color orange and a button. I knew I wanted to pull out my World Fair 8X8 pad from Graphic 45. I love the darker oranges in this collection. The stamp and sentiment is from a retired MFT set - Up Up & Away.
