Timeless Textures Hello You

I was working on a color challenge and this is a reject card.

I stamped Timeless Textures (p 29 of Occasions Mini) images

in Old Olive, Wisteria Wonder and Lost Lagoon.

I spritzed and rubbed the images with a wet paint brush,

beading up the top layer of the Whisper White card stock.

The Hello You Thinlits on p 172 were used to product

the 3-D sentiment.  I added the linen thread (p 159) to

pull the 2 portions of the top layer together.

Stamp Off: Tic Tac Toe Challenge

Yeppers, it's Friday, so it's a Stamp Off Challenge

kind of day!  Buffy, Susan and I are locked and loaded

to show you a good time and fun samples!

Today we are doing a Tic Tac Toe Challenge.

Like the game, you draw a horizontal, vertical or

diagonal line through 3 blocks and incorporate those

components into your card.  You can see the most of the

choices are accessories, which enables us to pick our own

sketch and color scheme.

You could draw several lines, showing accessories that I

used on this card.  The It's My Party Designer Series Paper Stack,

on page 5 of the Occasions Mini is interesting because you

can select patterns that are distinctly party-like, or patterns

 like this one, that work for a variety of themes.

The Cotton Paper Assortment (on page 148) works perfectly with

the Botanical Builder Framelits Dies (p 26 in the Occasions).

When you stack the flowers in layers, they are puffy and pretty.

They are also very thin, so give a delicate appearance.

 I used the birthday sentiment from the Age Awareness set

on page 10 of the regular catalog.  The end is trimmed with the

Banner Triple Punch on page 165.  I added Candy Dots (p 161)

to the flower centers.

I can't wait for you to see the fun Tic Tac Toe Challenge

cards offered by Buffy and Susan!

Botanical Builder Geometric Wheels

Well, it was one of those days when bits and pieces were

scattered on my table.  I often Big Shot the inner portion of 

the flower dies from the Botanical Builder Framelit Dies (p 26)

to add to flowers.  I decided to punch around the scrap with

a circle die.  I found myself exchanging bits and pieces,

to see what I could come up with.  I felt that the scraps

were kind of masculine, and perhaps worth using.

In this example, the background layer comes from the

In-Color Envelope Paper pack on page 149.

The "happy" sentiment was created with the Hello You

Thinlits on page 173.  All in all, I felt it was a 

"good experiment". 

Timeless Textures with You've Got This, in Pink

I've made several cards with this combination of sets;

Timeless Textures (Occasions p 29) and You've Got This

(Regular Catty p 113).  I just love the way the textures

blend with this sentiment.  On this card, I added a flower

from the Botanical Builder Framelit Dies on page 26

of the Occasions mini. What a wonderful set of dies!

 rock when it comes to creating quick, 

dimensional cards.  For this project, I added the sentiment from

Big News on page 100.
