The Paper Players #786

I checked The Paper Players before I left for the lake for the summer and threw in my C9 Garden Grown set at the last minute so I could make a card for Ann's CAS Food challenge.   

I think I bought the set because of its fun and punny sentiments.  Kraft cardstock was placed behind the cuts in the carrots and some Altenew ink was used for shading.  EZPZ  QACAS

Just Us Girls #824 - Mood Board Week

Carol Mc is the host at Just Us Girls this week and this is the Mood Board she has to inspire you.

You can take the shapes, colors, items, whatever draws you in to make your card.  I was inspired by the colors and the white framed geometric pictures on the wall. 

I started by stenciling PFS's Garden Trellis with CP inks in Tiki Torch, Party Dress, and Something Borrowed. Lisa Horton's gold was used for the center squares before adding the white die cut on top. I needed a simple sentiment and found this one in a set by SSS and CZ Designs called Good Greetings.

Need more inspiration?  Check out the Design Team and our guest Kerry to see how they used the mood board for their cards.

Freshly Made Sketches #736

I really need more masculine cards so I went in that direction for my card at Freshly Made Sketches.

I started with Tie-Dye paper from Honey Bee and cut it with Hero Arts hexagons.  The background and Dark Teal cardstock are cut with Starshine from Spellbinders.  The sentiment is from Better Press.

Just Us Girls #823 - Word Week

The Word of the Week at Just Us Girls as chosen by our host Lisa is

Perfect word in my opinion considering all the flower stamps and dies I have.  I went with a die this time.

Honey Bee's Vintage Roses.  I started with colored cardstock - C9 Pistachio and PTI lemon tart - shading them with Bundled Sage DI and Altenew Citrus Burst and Butternut.  Bundled Sage was inked in the background.  The gold heat embossed sentiment is from Waffle Flower's Bouquet Builder.  

I expect to see a large gallery this week since I'm sure you all have flower dies and stamps to use.  The Design Team and our guest Kerry have wonderful cards to inspire you if you need it.

Time Out #313 -

It's a theme challenge at Time Out and here it is.

There are so many ways to go with this theme so have fun with it. For inspiration, please check out what the Design Team and our guest designer Cindy have made. 

I must admit I don't have much in the way of music stamps or dies.  Then while checking the guide on my TV, an idea hit me and this is the result.

There are a number of channels called Music Choice where you can play almost any genre you want so I made a television from an MFT's Stay Tuned using black glossy cardstock and some patterned paper from my stash.  The Allegro embossing folder is from Cuttlebug so you know how old that one is.  The notes are from Penny Black's Sing Joy, the sentiment is from Altenew's Winter Cardinal and the MC from their Calligraphy Alpha.  

The sponsor for this challenge is Gina K Designs and the winner will get a $25 store credit so get making those cards.

The Paper Players #785

I had just made a card for my Design Team later this year when I saw it was perfect for The Paper Players color challenge so I'm entering it there and making another one for the team. 

The Dazzling Dahlia from Altenew was already stenciled in the package.  I stenciled  the leaf and hummingbird and added it with a sentiment from BetterPress Birthday Wishes to a background made with Tiny Square Texture coverplate from Waffle Flower.
