Team Challenge Inchie Frame

Hello welcome to my blog.  My share today is our Team Challenge for April.  We did inchie squares and then swapped them. We each made 20 of the same square and we got 20 different ones in return.  Our color combo that we had to stay in was so saffron, pink pirouette, pool party, pear pizzaz and whisper white and the theme was spring.  I can hardly wait for the next one we do.  My frame is 10 x 10.  My first layer is pool party and then I mounted all of my inchies on basic black.  Love how it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by!

Team Swap

Hello, Happy Monday!

This is a really quick and simple card, but I loved how it turned out.  My friend, Frenchie, did a card very similar to this for a thank you.  I loved it so much, I turned mine into a Christmas card.  I used the stamp sets Everything Eleanor stamped in Old Olive and More Merry Messages stamped in Cherry Cobbler and cut with the Apothecary Accents.  The mat for the greeting is stamped in Crumb Cake and then hand cut.   You could stamp the crumb cake first on the base of the card and then mask it to stamp the Old Olive swirls.  I prefer hand cutting it.  The dsp is from the Season of Style stack and I just cut strips of different widths and made them into pennants.  A few jewels give it some bling and finish it off.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Team Challenge - Foil Paper

Hello, it's time again to share the card I made using the supplies provided to the team by Frenchie.  In October she gave us a piece of gold foil paper and silver foil paper found on page 28 of the Holiday Catalog, #132622 for gold and #132178 for silver.  When we get these supplies, there are no rules on how to use it, we just need to make a full card for the next month's meeting.  I wasn't sure how to use it, but got the Stampin' Success magazine last week in the mail and saw embossed ornaments on a card. I am trying to get better about taking the party to the inside of the card so I added an ornament and some dsp paper.

Team Challenge - Sept

My share today is for our Team Meeting tonight.  Frenchie gave us some Coaster Board - pg 156 #129392 - to work with this past month.  At first I wasn't sure what to do with it and actually made a different card where I just stamped on it like paper but didn't think that was very creative so I came up with this card instead.  The Coaster Board is the embossed chevron piece.  I used my brayer and inked the Chevron folder and the put my Coaster board in it and ran it through the big shot.  It embosses very nice.  I decided to make a matching envelope using the new Envelope Punch Board - #133774.  Along with the envelope, I made an envelope liner as well.  Love it!!!

Hello, Happy Friday!!!  My share today is a card I made for Frenchie's downline meeting coming up next week.  She gave us some Washi Tape this month to create with and I mailed my first card I made to my Father so I had to come up with one for the team challenge.  This is a really neat thing she does because all of the participants' names are put in a hat and one person will win all the cards for that month.  I have not won yet so keep your fingers crossed for me that this month is my lucky one.  My card is a really quick and easy one.  Hope you enjoy.

Team Challenge Aug 2013

 

Each month my upline gives us a challenge to use different supplies that she provides.  At the July meeting she gave us some Chevron Ribbon (pg. 173) to use on a full card.  At the August meeting everyone that participated will have their name put in the hat and one lucky winner will receive all the submissions for that month.  I haven't won yet so maybe this will be my lucky month. 

 

For my card I used the Smoky Slate chevron ribbon paired with the design series subtles and neutrals packs.  The colors I used are Basic Black, Smoky Slate and Blushing Bride.  My Whisper White is embossed only on half the sheet with the Fancy Fan embossing foldoer (pg. 191).  I am trying to get better about decorating the inside of the card as well so I just added a Six-Sided Sampler stamp (pg. 125) along with a couple more pennants made from Blushing Bride and Basic Black dsp.

 

Thanks for stopping by.  Wish me luck....
