Paper Craft Crew Color Challenge #212

I have some super exciting news!  I have the honor of joining the Paper Craft Crew Design Team!  I'm thrilled to join such an amazing group of Paper Crafters!  I hope you'll check out the PCC challenge and link up a card of your own!  Just pick any 3 of the 4 colors for your card!

I decided to go with Crushed Curry, Emerald Envy and Night of Navy for a simple Celebrate Today Balloon Shaker Card.

For my card I started with an 11" x 4 1/4" piece of Night of Navy Cardstock, scored at 5 1/2".  On a piece of Whisper White Cardstock that measured 4" x 5 1/4", I stamped in Emerald Envy the Celebrate sentiment from the Celebrate Today Stamp Set on the lower right side.  I then cut out Balloons with the Balloon Framelit Dies in Emerald Envy, Crushed Curry, and Night of Navy.  I stamped the Balloon bubbles tone on tone on the Crushed Curry and Night of Navy Balloons.. seriously I have no idea what you call the stamp I used but I call it balloon bubbles. LOL  I glued my Crushed Curry Balloon directly onto the White Cardstock layer.  I attached the Night of Navy Balloon with dimensionals on the right side to layer onto the Crushed Curry Balloon.  In the Emerald Envy balloon, I used one of the layering circle framelit dies to cut a hole inside of it.  I then used another of the layering circle framelits to cut a back that was bigger than the opening, in the Emerald Envy for the back of the shaker.  I cut out another circle in between the two sizes in a Window Sheet.  I used foam adhesive strips to attach my window sheet to the back of the balloon front.  I doubled up another layer of foam strips on top of that to give my Doodlebug Limeade sequins plenty of room to shake around.  Next I added my sequins to the balloon shaker and then attached my balloon back.  I then used Multipurpose glue to layer over my other two balloons.  I attached the twine to the bottom of all of the balloons by tying a little knot and then used some Ranger Multi Medium Matte to attach the twine where they met at the side of the card layer.  The great thing about the Multi Medium Matte is that it glues matte so it isn't shiny or sticky once it is dry. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings, Tina

SIP Challenge #6 - Tic-Tac-Toe

Hello and welcome to Stamp, Ink, Paper's 6th Challenge!  This week we have a Tic-Tac-Toe challenge and it really is a fun one!  Just pick any three squares in a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal row and make a card with those elements!

For my Tic-Tac-Toe Card, I picked Birthday, Punch or Die Cut, and Ribbon or Twine to make a fun birthday card for a my son.  I tend to use a lot of black, white, and gray when making masculine cards but I thought it would be nice to throw a little color into this one.

I started with a 11" x 4 1/4" piece of Basic Black cardstock that was scored at 5 1/2".  On a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Soft Sky cardstock, I sponged with Island Indigo Ink on the edges and a bit more into the upper part of the sky for some dimension and then adhered it over the Basic Black card base.  I punched out two clouds from my Tree Builder Punch and smonged them with just a little of the Island Indigo ink on the edges.  The bottom cloud I glued down and the upper cloud was attached with Stampin' Dimensionals.  For one of the die cut balloons I adhered some washi tape to white cardstock and cut it out with the balloon die.  For the second balloon I stamped it in Island Indigo Ink onto White cardstock.  I stamped "birthday" with versamark onto Smoky Slate Cardstock and embossed with White embossing powder.   I cut banner ends and then used my score blade on my Stampin' Trimmer to score it twice so the sentiment part of the banner stood up. The balloons were attached with Stampin' Dimensionals after Smoky Slate thick baker's twine was tied to the bottom of the balloon and knotted in the back.  the ends of the ballons were joined and knotted at the bottom of the card and a glue dot was placed under the knot.  That was it!  A really simple card but I think it turned out really cute!

For the inside, I used a layer of Smoky Slate cut 4" x 5 1/4" and adhered a piece of Washi Tape on the bottom.  I stamped a banner from the Celebrate today set in Island Indigo in the upper left corner.
