Inky Paws Challenge #98 Reminder

There's still time to join the Inky Paws Challenge for a chance to win a $20 credit to the Newton's Nook Designs store!

Here'a a refresher.
Sketch Challenge

Create a project using the sketch above. 

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge!

As a teacher, I love getting handmade cards from my students and their parents, so I made one that I would love to received!  I selected papers from the Doodlebug Design's Back to School paper pad.  These papers work so well together!  I added the teacher image from the Classy Teacher stamp set. It's a simply designed card, but I love the green and red against the black and white!  Now it's your turn to create a card using this amazing sketch.  You have until May 31!  Link up at Inky Paws Challenge!

Your Next Stamp Challenge #114--School's Out for Summer

Sending Smiles

I adore this darling set from Your Next Stamp--Perk Up! I pulled the sentiment from the YNS--Woodland Cuties set.  I thought this sentiment worked perfectly with the YNS  "Let's See Smiles" Challenge!  

I am used the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge.

I used the colors from the Color Throwdown Challenge #526

Life is better with sprinkles!

I wanted to play with this fun sketch from Your Next Stamp. While looking through my paper stash, I spied my Good Eats stack from DCWV.  I pulled out the donut papers!  Then I remembered the sentiment from Newton's Donut stamp set. My stamp collection from YNS is not nearly big enough, but I thought this sweet monster from Silly Monsters2. This cute monster looked like she would love a donut!  Once I assembled everything, I have to admit it made me smile!  

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs, Debbie

Your Next Stamp #83

Perk Up!

I had time to play with some great challenges. This card features YNS--Perk Up! I used cork board paper to make the background squares. I then stamped and colored the images, fussy cut them out, and adhered them to the cork. I kept the color scheme very "coffee"ish.  I liked how I created the steps needed to perk up--grind, brew, drink up!  :)

Sweet Stampers Challenge #4 Add a Sentiment

Snow Day!

I wanted to squeeze in some craft time this weekend before I finally send my Christmas cards out.  (Yep!  I'm procrastinating!)

This card was based on the colors and sketch by Your Next Stamp. I don't have any YNS Christmas stamps, so I pulled out Newton (NND) and made a fun winter card. Thanks for stopping by!

Dragonfly Journeys Challenge #81




Addicted to Stamps--#138 Snowflakes

Hey Cute Ghoul

I'm still trying to get my Halloween cards done!  This card features some ghouly concoctions that I cut from some pattern paper. I die cut YNS-Fun with Frames. This die features 6 squares, so I cut off two of them to match the sketch. I stamped the sentiment, web, and spider (Paper Smooches). I added some fun foam to the bottles. I finished it off with some enamel dots. Fast, fun, and totally festive!  

Thanks for stopping by!

YNS-#49--Coffee Cat

I made time to make cards this weekend. This card features a caffeine-craving cat from Your Next Stamps. I used three different dies--coffee from Verve, heart from Avery Elle, and background from Simon Says. I was inspired by both the colors and the sketch from YNS #49 challenge.

Critters & Creatures Linky Party #8

Summer Lover's Coffee Blog Hop Card #4

Here's my 4th card for the Summer Coffee Lover's Blog Hop. This card features one of my favorite sets because it has both cats and coffee!  It's Your Next Stamp's Coffee Right Meow!  I used the sketch from YNS #41 Challenge as a sort of "movie" of what happens to us coffee addicted crafters!  (Seriously isn't that what happens to us!) I also used the colors from the YNS #41 challenge. 

CIC #346--The Paper Shelter

This week at Cupcake Inspirations we have a fun color challenge for you--white, berry, and silver. Our sponsor is The Paper Shelter, who is generously providing a $15 gift certificate to their store to one lucky, randomly chosen crafter. For your chance, be sure to link up at Cupcake Inspirations with your project using this week's colors!

My card features The Paper Shelter's darling Whimsical Dragon. I colored him with Spectrum Noir markers. Then using a sketch from YNS, I cut some Echo Park paper and adhered them to the card based. I added some leftover silver string from Christmas to add a bit of texture before adhering the image. The last step was to add some shimmer using a sparkly gel pen and a Wink of Stella.  Though simple, I love how it turned out. Once I decide how I am going to use the card--birthday, Valentine's Day?--I will add a sentiment inside the card. Well that's it for today's card! Thanks for stopping by!  ~Debbie
