WWC49-Jackie's Sketch Challenge

http://watercoolerchallenges.blogspot.ca/

Yippee-Skippee, the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge is back!
I'm excited because today is my sketch challenge, but also
because you will be seeing new Occasions 2016 and SAB product.

For my challenge, I've created a pretty straight forward layer card
using coordinating product from the Occasions 2016 Mini Catalog.

 This card uses the Balloon Builders Stamp set (Occasions p 14),
with the coordinating Balloon Bouquet Punch (p 13)
It's My Party DSP paper stack (Occasions p 5) and 
my favorite Tin of Cards set on p 110 of the annual catalog.
I really like the Balloon Builders set because of it's
flexibility, and watercolor look.
This is a birthday card that works for guys or girls, 
and comes together quickly.  

Please click on over to the Wednesday Watercooler Challenge site,
and join us for this sketch challenge.  Make a card and
link it up to our Linky!

RMHC Sprinkles of Life Gift Holder




This is a "practice card" for a gift card holder.
It features the RMHC set Sprinkles of Life on page 189.
The DSP pack is retired.
 
The idea comes from Crafty Caroline at http://www.craftycarolinecreates.com/2015/07/pop-up-gift-card-holder-tutorial-using.html

I changed the measurements a bit, reducing the width to
4 1/2 inches (rather than 5).  I really like this cool
pop-up inside of the card.  Additionally, it is very
easy to create, but makes a great impression.

 Sorry, I didn't have a gift card so modeled a
business card instead.

Timeless Tin of Cards

I've seen this card format done by Stampin' Up! (and others)
with Washi tape.  Since I am a huge fan of the Tin Of Cards
set and Timeless Elegance DSP, I used that combination.

Happy New Year

This may be a CASE of someone but sadly I made it
so long ago, back in mid 2015, that I don't remember.
Have a wonderful New Year!

Have a safe and wonderful New Years

This card features the You've Got This set on page 113.

Folder on several layers.

Love The Packers Sneak Peak

Well, I am a huge Green Bay Packers fan.
This is a sneak peak from the upcoming Occasions
Mini catalog with a Packers theme.
The Rotary Stamp enabled me to add the necessary sentiment.

I love the Balloon  Builders set on page 14 of the catalog,
because it is so flexible, yet beautiful with that watercolor
look.  I like the way common items, like balloons become
special because they look so beautiful.  The other advantage
of this set is that it works for masculine or feminine themes.
