Always Playing With Paper #5 - use the sketch.
I've had this little sea horse from Pink Paislee for quite some time. I just loved him but couldn't figure out how to make him work with anything else. But the embossing folder from SU and some mylar from Karen Burniston along with some glittery cs from DCWV, a piece of irredescent trim and a scrap of dsp and I think this one came together. It's a neat sketch so go give it a whirl.

JFF Denim Woodgrain

It's a birthday card and although there are some stamped flowers on the denim woodgrain I think it works as a birthday card for a guy or a gal.

I first drug Adirondack Earthtones STONEWASHED ink pad over Craft cs. I used my heat gun and dried the ink. Then I drug Whisper White ink pad over the Stonewashed. Dried it with the heat gun. Then I inked up my WoodGrain EF with Crumb Cake and placed my cs inside and ran it through my Big Shot. Then I stamped SU Quin-Essential Flower randomly all over the cs. Added a piece of Pumpkin Pie grosgrain ribbon. My stamped image is from SU Crazy for Cupcakes. I stamped the image in SU Soft Suede, then I colored with Copics. Voila!

The Paper Players have us "in stitches" this week! LOL That's the theme LeAnne chose for the challenge this week. Lucky for me, I won some blog candy from HippieAud a while back and included in the candy was Spellbinders embossabilities Sewing Elements. So fun to work with! I used the dress form and the sewing machine from the set. My stamps are from Flourishes. Hubs bought three packages of various buttons from a garage sale last summer. I know my sentiment is a little obscure but I thought "MADE" could imply sewing.

Hope you like my card.

The Paper Players Challenge #134.

I went out of the box on this one. I created my own background from a piece of scrap dsp.
I saw this technique on Pinterest. I found it HERE. Basically, what you need is a patterned paper and an embossing folder, some Versa Mark and some clear embossing powder, a dauber and some black re-inker.

Run your dsp through your Big Shot machine in the embossing folder. Then lightly drag your Versa Mark over the raised areas. Sprinkle with embossing powder, dust away any embossing powder that falls into the valleys. Then heat. Repeat this process about 3 or 4 times. Then with a dauber and some black ink daub the black ink into the valleys, until they are completely covered. Then take a paper towel and rub ink off any ink that may have gotten onto the raised areas. It's a resist process and I am now "in love" with it!

So anyhoo, this is my entry for this week's episode of The Paper Players Challenge.

Freshly Made Sketch Challenge #70.

Here's my take on the sketch...

To make my card, I found this flower I had stamped and colored at my friend's house. It was hiding in my stash. I fussy cut it and mounted it with dimensionals onto a piece of Calypso Coral cs. I used a Spellbinders die from A-2 Fancy Ribbon Threader. My sentiment is from a retired hostess set from Stampin' Up! Because I Care. The fabric brad is also Stampin' Up! The floral print cs is DCWV glitter page from the Rustic stack. I colored my flower with Stampin' Up! markers.

Be sure and check out the lovely projects created by the Freshly Made design team.

The Paper Players Challenge #129 - Clean & Simple. Got it!
01/24/2013 @ 9:45 p.m. My sweet friend Mary Beth went to join her husband, Dave with our Heavenly Father. R. I. P.
I have a sweet friend, Mary Beth, who fell and broke her wrist. I wanted to make her a get well card and this challenge made that pretty easy for me to do. So using Stampin' Up! On the Grow (123077) which is retired to make my card. I inked up my stamp with Versa Mark then inked it again in Soft Suede and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Now you may ask me why? Well, the Versa Mark helps hold the embossing powder on and the colored ink outlines the stamped image so that when I use my markers or crayons or color pencils to color, the color stays where I put it. A little Stampin' Up! Summer Starfruit ribbon and it's a done deal.

Spellbinders dies, Copics markers and DCWV Rustic & Shimmer packs were also used in creating this card.
