Today, several of the designers who appeared in the Premier Issue have put together a blog hop that features paper craft projects using Red, Brown, Kraft, Turquoise colors AND using twine!
Both of my cards use sketches from last week challenges. First up is a card using Karen's Sweet Sunday
sketch #69. I used my favorite stamp set by Ippity Stamps,
Where You should Be. I stamped the blossom image in soft sky in the background and the sentiment in chocolate chip over the top. The brown pattern paper is from Bella Blvd, the
Man of the House collection. I finished off the card with some Red
Twill ribbon and
Aqua button.
My next card uses the Fall To Layout
sketch #90. I used my MUCH neglected Stampin' Up sets,
Little Pieces and
Seeing Spots. I stamped the images in dark chocolate and Hawaiian Shores. You know, I am so used to using clear stamps, it was really weird using wood mounted stamps again! That shows how far I have strayed from my "stamping beginnings". Anyway, I added the red to card in the form of tiny flower rhinestones and button.
And my final card is a special card I made as this month's guest designer for
Nina Brackett for Gina K. Designs! She has released 2 wonderful stamp sets this month! This card uses the set,
Fine Furnishings Addition.
I stamped the chaise lounge in Hawaiian Shores ink (with the feet inked in Dark Chocolate) and cut it out. The pillow is also stamped and cut out. Isn't it the cutest?!? I was super excited to find that OA's new paper, Fly a Kite has the EXACT colors of this challenge -I just love me some OA!!
