The Artful Stampers Blog Hop #65

Welcome from Alison's blog.

This week we have a Sketch Challenge.

This is what we had to work with:

This is what I came up with:

I used the sketch this week to make a birthday card for my nephew who loves playing baseball. It really was a lot of fun to make and I used a few goodies for the first time. The Decorative Masks are a great alternative to DSP and you can customise any plain paper with the colour that you want. There is also a sneak peek of one of our Limited time Sale - A - Bration stamp sets that can be yours for free with any $90 order (before shipping).

The Artful Stampers Blog Hop #64

Welcome from Alisa's blog.

This week we have a Colour Challenge.

This is what we had to work with:

This is what I came up with:

CASE'd from Jan Farring

I used the envelope punch board to make my bow, it's a great way to use up some of those cardstock scraps.

I am not sure that I used all the challenge colours this week, I think I am missing Pink Pirouette. I had to do this card in a hurry because we had all the floor coverings changed in our whole house this week and what we were told would be a two day job turned into a four day job so all my craft supplies were packed away. I also worked on the day I usually have off which happens to be my card making day so just had to go with something quick. Thanks Jan Farring for the inspiration and a great card.

The Artful Stampers Blog Hop #63

Welcome from Anna's blog.

This week we have a Sketch Challenge.

This is what we had to work with:

This is what I came up with:

I had completed this project but thought it looked a little flat so pulled it apart and ran it through the Big Shot with the Happy Heart TIEF. It's amazing how an embossing folder can give a card just that little bit of a lift.
