DT - Sketch Challenge - Owl Card

Today's "DT Post Card"

For this weeks challenge is a sketch!!!!

Hey everyone!  Welcome to this sketch challenge!  I changed up a few things but I really like how this card turned out!

Firstly I used some of this beautiful paper that I had left over in my stash and sewed a similar coloured strip across the card mat.  I wrapped a ribbon with hearts around the matt and then matted it up with some purple paper.  I love how this makes everything pop!  I adhered the whole piece to my black card base.

Now to embellish, I cut out the owl, purple mat, and black scalloped circle mat with spellbinders dies.  I used some pop dots to pop this arrangement up.  I put together a few flowers and a brad that matched the colour of the owl and background paper's colour.  I added this with hot glue.  Lastly I added some bling and a sentiment I made with MS Word to make sure the colours matched!

DT - Candy Challenge

Today's "DT Post Card"

For this weeks challenge it is to use candy or make candy wrapping!!!!

I have never been big at wrapping cookies/candy, so I decided to make this sweet card with this adorable girl holding the cupcake.  Hey cupcakes are as good as candy in my books!  Especially if they are chocolate.  I started out with some random red/blue papers.  I photoshopped a previous image I had done and photoshopped the colours to match perfectly.  It took quite a bit of time but I think it turned out great!

I took the image and then die cut it with some spellbinders dies.  Then I started putting the card together.  I layered some of the papers and used a ribbon to add a pop of colours.  Once I had this done I added a flower/brad and some bling.  For the sentiment I photoshopped the sentiment again matching the colours.  Lastly I added some stickles to the cupcake just to make it super sweet!  I love this card and the colours.

Many Pink Owl Card

Today's "Pink Owl Card"

Hey everyone.  I thought I would share this sweet owl card I made.  I wanted to add lots of different pinks to this background I made from some older Bo-Bunny papers.  I love the variety of pinks.

I loved this paper line so much and didn't have much left, but I thought it was enough for one more card.   I took a strip with the flowers on it and sewed it with brown thread to the main card mat and then adhered the whole piece to a pink mat to help pull the pinks out of this card more.  Then I adhered the whole piece to the grey card base.  I think the browns/greys help make the pink pop out from this card.  I added some elements such as bling, stickles, flowers, and a sentiment.  I love this image and I think the stickles help add a bit of sparkle to this card as well as the bling.

I hope you enjoyed this card!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

DT post - Fall - Halloween Card Challenge

Today's "DT Post Card"

For this weeks challenge it is to make fall or halloween cards!!!!

While I really am not a fan of halloween, I must saw they are at least more colourful than fall cards!  So I decided to put this card together.  I think the image is pretty cute (for a halloween image).  I did some sewing and wrapped a ribbon around the card.  I also added some bling and several flowers/brads to decorate the bottom of the card.  I really like the stitching, it really adds to this card.

I hope you enjoyed this project!  Please check out the other DT members' projects!  Thanks so much for joining me for this Challenge over at Stamps & fun = Creativity!

DT - Shaped Cards - Labels Dies

Today's "DT Post Card"

For this weeks challenge it is to make shaped cards!!!!

I have to say, I have never been a fan of shaped cards, but I really had fun with this week's challenge.  I made a A2 card base and then used my labels spellbinders die to create the base.  I decided to use the next size down label die to cut out this yellow cardstock.  After that I used some papers from the same paper collection to cut the strip that went through the middle and the orange strip down the card.  I love this and it matches the shape perfectly because I used the die to cut the strips!

I got my image prepared and then cut it with a spellbinders circle die and then found a green that was similar to the apple leaf.  I cut that with an scalloped circle die to make a great layer.  I popped the whole piece up with pop dots to give some dimension off the card.  I next took more of the matching paper and stamped the sentiment (From Amy R's stamp (CC Designs) set now retired).  I put the sentiment up on pop dots as well to match the image height.  Lastly I had to add some sequins.  I used a mixture of sequins from my stash.  I placed them in a triangle from on the bottom right portion and then added two more to keep the odd numbers to the top left.  That finished up the card.  I really like this card.  It was truly a simple and fun card to make!
