The Artful Stampers Blog Hop Challenge #17

Welcome from Annette's blog.
Colour challenge time again.
This would have to be one of my favourite colour combos at the moment and because of that I have three cards this week.
Case'd from Debbie Lever
This cards was so quick to make that I decided that I needed to do another one to give myself a bit of a challenge.

I am thinking that I am going to make a set of these cards using some of the other Hello You Thinlits Dies. To give to my Grandma for her birthday in April. The most time consuming part is fussy cutting the flower layers, but I love the depth that it gives to the card.

The Artful Stampers Blog Hop Challenge #16

Welcome from Tamsin's blog.
Sketch challenge again this week.


This was a card that I have made before but it fitted perfectly with the sketch and I love the masculine look, so I remade it and did alter it a bit to the original. It will be perfect for my father-in-law's birthday. It really is a fun card to make and was quite quick as well. The finished card size is 4 3/4" x 5" so is a different size and will require a hand made envelope using the Envelope Punchboard.

The Artful Stamper Blog Hop Challenge #15

Welcome from Annette's blog.
Colour Challenge time again.



CASE'd from Evonne Yamazaki 

I used the Owl Builder Punch again this week. I would have never guessed that it could be so versatile when I first purchased it. The colour combo was ideal for this card.

 PROJECT RECIPE
Stamps
- Memorable Moments - 126682

 Cardstock & Ink
- Blushing Bride
- Wild Wasabi
- Rich Razzleberry
- Blackberry Bliss
- Rose Red
- Whisper White
- Soft Sky

 Stampin' Up! Accessories
- Owl Builder Punch - 118074
- Word Window Punch - 119857
- 1 1/4" Circle Punch
- Circles Collection Framelits- 130911
- Thick Bakers Twine - Baked Brown Sugar - 135639
- Fringe Scissors - 133325
- Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder - 117335

 Please note that I used a Spellbinders framelit for the large scallop as the one in the Circles collection was a bit big for what I wanted. I also used a crimping tool for the Wild Wasabi strip at the back.

This card was made for my niece's 1st birthday. I am sure that her mum will love it.

Next on the hop is Alison, go and have a look at what she has created.
