The Fusion challenge gives options each week, and this week the photo inspiration was red, white, and blue mason jars holding flowers. I took that inspiration and made a Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy, and Whisper White card without making it strictly a 4th of July card. I made it another checkerboard card using 1.25 inch squares of Cherry Cobbler DSP, and Cherry Cobbler cardstock embossed with the Brick embossing folder (I just wanted a subtle embossing) all on a Whisper White background with a Night of Navy base. I punched a label for the sentiment, which is from All Things Thanks and is now my most favorite font (and would buy anything made with it from here on out.) I had to use the Night of Navy marker to color just the word thanks. I had also punched two Night of Navy labels to use as a mat for the sentiment. Added the Whisper White bakers twine, and put everything together with the mini-dimensionals.

This card slowly evolved into something adorable using the A Little Wild bundle. I knew I wanted to use that set for this challenge, and all the rest of the pieces slowly came together. The DSP is from the Color Theory DSP paper stack (I’m going to have to order another stack of that paper!) and the colors for the card are Crushed Curry, Soft Suede, and Whisper White. I LOVE the new mini-Dimensionals and used them in two places on this card. They just gave a bit of a pop to the bear, and I cut a couple in half to be able to use them to pop the bees. Have to say, those bees are tiny and easy to “lose” on a craft table. Not that that happened to me, of course. The regular dimensionals were used to pop the Stitched Shapes square. The ribbon is the retired Crushed Curry chevron ribbon. The base of the card needed a little something-something, so I used the Dots embossing folder.

This was my first time playing along with this challenge, and it took two tries to get one with which I was happy enough to post. The challenge was to use any shade of green, orange, and brown, which sounds like a fall color combo. My first card was definitely a fall card, my second try was the same layout with a softer brown in Soft Suede, a White White focal panel instead of Very Vanilla, and a change up from the Tangelo Twist embossed base to Pear Pizazz. The whole feel of the card changed drastically. Same basic colors, totally different results. This Tranquil Tulips hostess set is a must have and the Label Me Pretty bundle is fabulous!

I just love it when a card comes together in a snap! Last night I stamped a bunch of piggies knowing sooner or later I would use them. Today was the day for this adorable Hogs and Kisses pig for CTS #227. The stamp set is adorable and so much fun to color! The Color Theory DSP stack is quickly becoming one of my favorite set of papers, and the Old Olive papers just went with this stamp. I used Powder Pink and Flirty Flamingo markers to color the pig, and an Old Olive marker to color the grass. Cut out the pig and the Old Olive border with the Stitched Shapes die set, added some Dimensionals and Whisper White bakers twine and I was done. Easy!

#GDP093. I saw the color challenge this morning and my first thought was Pool Party with Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst?? The last two are part of the 2017-2019 In Colors so I knew they would definitely work together, but Pool Party as the third color made me think. I started flipping through paper and found the Pool Party DSP, then added the Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst cardstock. I cut out the swirl (from Swirly Bird die set), threaded some ribbon through it and added the sentiment. I once again had to use a (Berry Burst) marker to ink just the thanks and not the rest of the for joining us part of the stamp. Guess what ~~ the 3 colors worked!

Have to love when this happens! I has a mental image (kind of) for what I was going to do for the Tic Tac Toe Challenge 003 because I chose the top left to bottom right diagonal: blue, twine, rectangle. Then, a fellow InKing Royalty demonstrator posted her card for the Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch 249, and my mental image and this challenge went hand-in-hand. One card, two challenges = winner!
Here’s my card:
#tictactoechallenge, #tttc003 diagonal was blue (check), rectangle (check for the Daisy Delight DSP, and when I decided to use the Brick embossing folder I added another check), and twine (check). Can’t find the twine? Look closely at the center of the flower and you will see the twine. I wanted to keep the card clean while meeting the challenge requirements and I can’t seem to get the hang of the random circles of twine behind card elements. Enter the twine on the center. I love the font on this “thanks” greeting, but didn’t want anything else from the stamp. To solve that problem, I used the Night of Navy marker and colored just the part I wanted. Worked like a charm!
Here’s the challenge board for the #tttc003:
Here’s the sketch for PCC249:
See what I mean about matching up perfectly?
Supplies used: Night of Navy, Whisper White, and Daffodil Delight cardstock, Daisy Delight DSP, Daisy Punch, Brick embossing folder, SU Whisper White twine, Night of Navy ink pad and marker.
Thanks for stopping by!
Have a Peachy day!
