here’s the card i made for this week’s sketch.  I saw this really great tutorial on SCS this week on how to make a window card and thought “WOW! that would be perfect for this week’s sketch!”

you can find the tutorial here.  I used some of the new Echo Park papers that are also the kit this month, absolute fantastic collection.  If you didn’t get this papercard kit yet….what are you waiting for!  i’m telling you; you NEED it!  I used two sizes of Nesties to create a window frame and pop doted my image on the inside of the card for a bit more dimension.

This will be short and sweet.  Gorgeous Rachelle Anne Miller stamp from our newest release, great papers…kind of… and i’m only saying “kind of” because the “paper” with the sky, banner and fence is actually a fabric paper from the Dear Lizzie collection.  It was just so perfect for this stamp that i couldn’t resist using it.

And this is a first for me, i usually do  a  card for a specific challenge, but as i was blog surfing i found so many good challenges this week that this card actually is good for three challenges out there.  To make it even more of a multi-functional card it’s also for my friend’s niece’s first birthday; RAM’s images are so wonderful for kids.

hi everyone,

this week i decided to take part in the CPS (Card Position System) weekly sketch. If you want to participate you have until 8pm tonight to do so.

it’s a very simple sketch and i didn’t add much to it except for an extra circle element on the bottom.  I used one of the Zach and Zoe bonus stamps on this card.

For the month of July i get to do the challenge focus.  This is actually a great one for me because i always want to do some of the challenges i see out there in blogland, but never find the time (like i said in a prior post…i’m a procrastinator!)

so i decide to do challenge #57 at the Color Chef (see all the details here) green-brown-white

a few notes: i used a toothpick for my flag post and i cut out a cloud shape and sponged some blue around it to create my sky.  Of course i’m one that tends to glue as i go and i thought of adding clouds after everything was done so it was a bit more tricky, i had to make sure i didn’t sponge blue ink on Zach or my flag.  i also used some smooch on this inside of the cloud to add a little something to it.  you can see it better on the close-up shot:

cs: bazzill

pp: Jillibean soup

stamp: PWCO-Zach & Zoe – Zach the golfer

ink: memento, copic (0, C1, E00, E02, E31, E77, Y28, YG00, YG03, BG93), distress (broken china)

other: doodlebug frills, fiskars border punch, cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder, sponge, smooch (illuminate)

well yes… i love cupcakes!

This is my last post with the June papercard kit, i guess i started the month with a cupcake and i ended it with a cupcake!  I think this has to be my favorite Doodlebug collection ever, and i really didn’t use much of it.  I punched out 1 in circles in different papers and colored cardstock and layered them with pop dots.  it doesn’t show much but on the yellow cardstock and yellow lines and dots of the patterned paper i colored it with a Spica glitter pen.  I also added diamond stickles on the pink circles, brown lines and the cupcake tops of the punched cupcake border.  it is a very festive and sparkly card that any little girl would love to get for her birthday!

This week I used the June Papercard kit to make a cute little teacher’s gift for my son’s pre-k teacher.

i know it’s been done before but i’m always a little late trying out new tutorials and techniques. It’s not because i don’t want to but i’m an eternal procrastinator!

these are the measurements for a standard post-it pad.
cut a piece of cardstock 3.5″ wide and 7.5″ long. On the long side score a line at 3.5″  and 4″; fold along the scored lines. Glue a 3″ square of patterned papers on the outside and the inside of the top flap. Decorate as you wish, i used some of the dew drops from the kit on my flower centers and added some stickles in pink and light green. Glue your post-it pad on the inside of the bottom flap.  I also punched two holes and in the spine 1″ from each edge and installed an eyelet with my crop-o-dile. Thread the eyelets with a ribbon and tie a bow.

I don’t know if it shows much but i also used a piece of the same patterned paper on the inside of the pen casing. That’s very easy to do. unscrew the bottom of the pen (or top in some cases) tightly wrap a small piece of patterned paper around the ink tube and reinsert, shake a bit to loosen it up and screw cap back on. It looks really cool too with a piece of glittered paper!!!
