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.
