Sketch #119

Sketch #119

I got two versions of Sketch #119 done today, both birthday cards. The 4 patterned papers are from DCWV Celebrations paper. They have a shiny finish on them, not glitter. I used my EK Tool cupcake large edger punch on these cards. I wanted to use the balloon one but my scrapbook room is such a mess I couldn't find it. And it has been almost 2 months since I have been to Table 7!! So, some of my supplies are still in hiding. The sentiments are from Hero Arts sets. I also used my Marvy scalloped circle punch.

National Craft Month March 3 - Kid Rocket Card

 I created a card for a kiddo at school the other day and finally got all the signatures on it to give it away today so I can post it at last.

I used a piece of white 8.5 x 11 cardstock and folded it in half. I trimmed about 1/2" on one long and one short side. This way it fit inside the first piece without  the edges peeking out. I used my long armed stapler to staple the 2 pieces together.

I used lots of  BoBunny and other rocket stickers. I used a couple of the Graphic 45 double-sided papers from Tuesday Morning. I punched blue bling paper (Archiver's) stars, using a small Marvy punch and randomly added them on the card's front. I pop-dotted some of them and some are glued to the card. I added 4 navy mosaic squares to the front too.

I added a thin strip to the top of the middle card. I cut a second thin strip and folded it to make a square when the card is open. I'm not explaining it very well. I pierced holes in the hanging strip and in the little decorations. I used fishing line to string the decorations so they could hang on the strip.

The blue rectangle of  bling paper from Archiver's on the last page now has a little saying on it.

With 4 pages for signatures, the card filled up quickly. Unfortunately, I didn't have an envelope for the card so I slid the card in the clear packaging from the sticker set. The teacher showed the card to the class before they sent it to the kiddo.

Thanks for stopping by.

Sketch #155

I didn't have an oval so I used my largest scalloped rectangle punch by Marvy to make the design for Sketch #155. I had stamped the guy at Archiver's at Table 7 on Friday. It is from Art Impressions. The embossed paper had been hiding on the shelf. The tools are from Micheal's and the "Hard at Work" from a sticker set from Hobby Lobby. I inked the embossed paper and added some Viva Pearl Pen on the Happy Birthday sign. The guy's head is popped up but not his body.

I didn't quite follow the design but it is pretty close.

Sketch #116 on Sunday Oct. 21, 2012

Sketch # 116

Sew happy I got one more card done!! I used this #116. I used my Marvy punches for the scalloped circles. I had the thread patterned paper from Friday's Table 7, but just enough for 6 cards. I added We R Memory Keepers' teal-blue floss to the scalloped circle. I used the SewStamper x stamper to the yellow card bases. I didn't realize it was a self-inking stamp and only black ink. I used my Fiskars stitch punch on the green background paper and the blue DCWV cardstock for the Homespun stack ( It was left over from another card today). I added little bits of scrap paper under the circle for quilting effects. The sentiments is from TPC Studios that I purchased at Joann's. I had a few yellow bases already stamped so I used some epoxy stickers from Chloe's Closet line by Making Memories that I found at Ollie's. 

Ok, that is the 5 Sketches (#140, #142, #135, #121 and #116) that I got completed today Sunday Oct. 21, 2012. I think I got over 100 cards done.
