MFTWSC-Celebrate

I am wasting no time this week with the Wednesday Sketch Club Challenge this week. I love during the Release Parties that the new sketch is usually shared, and when I woke up this morning the challenge was already posted. So I got crafting. 
I was sooooo inspired by Amy's nautical themed baby projects from the New Product Tour. The colors, the stripes and the anchors.....LOVE! 
I hope you aren't getting sick of the Atlantic papers from Studio Calico. Obviously, I'm not. I pulled out some of the blue toned patterns and used them on this week's card. You can find this week's Challenge details and the sketch HERE. 

I am really embracing this nautical trend. I love the anchor die included in the Sea Charms Die-namics set from MFT. I tied one on with some Hemp Twine and a Kraft button. 

I was also fortunate to get this new Accent it-Celebrate Die-namics with one of my last DT packages when I was on the MFT team. I had to hold on to it until after it was officially released last night. I was  eager to bust it out. I looove how these letters are cut out. I added the diagonal strip from Washi Patterns along the bottom. 

I was going to add a "happy Birthday" sentiment to the inside, but then decided I would leave it blank. I think the celebrate on the outside lend this to becoming a card that could be used for any occasion. So I just added a strip of those diagonals along the bottom. 

While I was working with MFT sketches, I decided to also bust out a card for last week's sketch. You can find the WSC131 sketch details HERE.

I kept my card fairly simple and followed the sketch to a tee. I used Blissful Butterflies in place of the flower in the corner. 

I cut three different sizes and stamped the matching images on to the Primitive Cream cs in Pink Lemonade, Kraft and Lemon drop (stamped off once. I can't wait for my Banana split ink to arrive) inks. 

I do love the Chalkboard Frame Die-namics. They are so fun to work with and you really can build just about any size frame you desire.  I stamped some Darling Dots over top in Cream ink and then used my Tim Hotlz, Tiny Attacher to add those small staples. I love the rustic feel they add to my card. 
Thanks for hanging with me today! wishing you a fabulous weekend! See you back here in a day or two with some more crafty stuff.

DS108-Amazing U

 I took a stab at this week's Deconstructing Sketch 108. I had my new SU inks out and this darling word set by Avery Elle, Oh, Yeah. and I needed a birthday card, so I got busy. 

Since I wanted to stamp a cluster of words, I knew the fun Notepad Die-namics would be a great focal point to show them off.  I sponged the edges with some Tea Dye distress ink. It helped make that Primitive White cs pop against the background. 

I layered up a High Rise letter "u" onto a circle stax and then a pinking circle from Accent it-Flags and Tags. 

The pretty triangle paper is more from the Atlantic pad by Studio Calico. I wrapped the whole card up with my favorite Hemp Twine. 

I forgot to snap a picture of the inside of my card before I wrote my note. I made this for a dear friend's birthday. I had layered more of the kraft paper and the triangle pattern and stamped a simple Happy Birthday sentiment. 

CAS228-You're Swell

I was super excited to see the new Summer team on the CAS Challenges at Splitcoast. What a talented group of women, and one of my stampy friends, Sarah, made the team.  Yeah! I have a soft spot in my heart for this Monday challenge since I was once on the DT years ago when the challenges first got started. WOW! they are on 228....how awesome is that?!!
It was the perfect way to kick start my mojo  for the week. You can read about the challenge HERE, it's a masking on a single layer card challenge. 
I cut a circle from some Eclipse masking paper and used that to sponge in the yummy new ink colors from Stampin' Up! in.love. with these new colors. I used almost all of the new IN Colors: coastal cabana, pistachio Pudding, Crisp Cantelope, and Strawberry Slush. The grey is their new grey, it's called smokey slate. I really like it (although it doesn't replace my beloved Going Grey. I still wish they hadn't gotten rid of that basic color). 

 They were perfect for my underwater scene. I still had the Happy Harbor set out and I inked up a few other characters that hadn't seen ink yet. Figured I'd better use it before my next batch of Reverse Confetti Stamps arrive. Did you see their NEW RELEASE? ♥ it!

I used my Circle Stax Die-namics to cut a circle from the masking paper. It is so super easy to work with and gives you great results everytime. 
Thanks for stopping by on a Monday! I'm hoping to work on a couple other challenges today, so I'll have more stamping fun lined up for you.
