TSOT sketch #155 - HELLO

Today is Tuesday and that means I have a new sketch for you to try over at...
Team B has created some AWESOME cards with Sketch # 155 as their inspiration 
Our TWIST this week  - Hearts and/or Flowers

Here's my card...

 
Sketch #155
 
 
I started with a light green A2 cardstock base
Layered with Designer paper from American Crafts in a kit called Soho Garden
I used Cricut cartridge -Elegant Edges to cut my 2 -1/2" scalloped flower
And the Flower Shop cartridge to cut two, 1-1/2" leaves
I sponged ink around the edges of the scalloped flower and leaves
I also added black doodle lines along the edges
I finished the card by adding a treat cup from Stampin' Up that I had in my stash
The sentiment and beads are really old Close to My Heart that I used to complete the card
 
 
I invite you to play along with us this week
Bur first, get inspired by checking out the rest of Team B creations
I am sure you will find plenty of inspiration if you do

New Sketch for TSOT

Well yesterday (Monday), I had a long, boring day of waiting...
Seven hours sitting at the King County Regional Courthouse - Jury Duty... Oh Lucky me!
I was dismissed for the day around 3:00 p.m., however I need to possibly return today (Tuesday)
I am hoping when I check the website later on Monday evening, I will not need to return
 
Anyway, I have created a new card today for my Design Team at Try Stampin' on Tuesday
Team B has sketch #153 to inspire you this week (see sketch below)
The TWIST:  Keep Warm
 
Here's my card... A VALENTINE card, but I decided not to do the TWIST:  Keep Warm
But you know what? I think it may have the TWIST after all...
If you are hugging the one you LOVE, that would Keep you Warm, right?
 

 
I chose to do a classic White, Red and Black 6" x 6" card
 
My base is black cardstock layered with red cardstock cut at 5-12" x 4"
My designer papers - "Just Married" Collection kit by Echo Park
Cut two at 3-1/2" x 1-3/4" and cut the other two at 1-3/4" x 1-1/2"
This kit contained stickers to use, so I layered the sentiment banner on top of red cardstock
Using scissors, I trimmed the edges to match the banner sticker
 
To finish the card: 
Using a heart punch - punch out three hearts to add to the card
I scored both ends of the banner to attach it to the card with a slight curve to it
I added tiny adhesive pearls to both ends of the banner, and to the three hearts as well
I then added larger adhesive pearls to the top left corner of the card
 
This card was finished in less than 10 minutes and not a single stamp or digital image was used
 
 
There is so much more to see and inspire you on the Blog
Check it out and see what the rest of the DT from Team B has to share
 
I invite you to join us this week and create something awesome using sketch #153

Sketch Time with Try Stamipin' on Tuesday

Back today to share my Design Team card for Try Stampin' on Tuesday
 
TSOT Team B has another great sketch to inspire you this week
(see sketch below)
 
Here's my card inspired by Sketch #151 and the TWIST: Love Plaid
My card ended up being a Masculine card - which is the perfect theme for using plaid
 
 
Start with an A2 Kraft cardstock base, layered with some really old speckled cardstock in my stash
I cut a 2-1/2" Star from the kraft cardstock using my Cricut - George and Basic Shapes
Twine wrapped around the card and added to a wooden button, placed in the center of the Star
My plaid papers, rhinestones and paperclip were from a Recollections embellishment pack
I purchased several packs, with different themes about 1-1/2 years ago
They were hiding in the $1.00 bin at Michaels and I knew one day I would find a use for them
 
 I really enjoyed using this sketch this week...it has many possibilities!
 
Sketch #151
 
Remember to check out the other DT cards from Team B and get inspired
I hope you can make time this week to play along...I would love to see what you come up with
 
Thanks for stopping by today - Happy Tuesday

Valentine...

You have my Heart
 
Okay, so we aren't even into the New Year yet and already I have made a Valentine card
But, only because my sharing today is a Design Team card for Try Stampin' on Tuesday
 
Today starts a new challenge with Team B using Sketch #149 (see sketch below)
The Twist:  SPARKLE it UP!
 
 
So here is my card...so Shiny and Sparkly!
 
Sketch #149
 
I started with a white A2 card for the base
Next I layered pattern paper from K & Company - Valentine by Kelly Panacci
The silver glitter paper was in my stash...sorry I do not know what company
Anyway, I used a Jumbo Scallop border die from My Favorite Things on the silver glitter paper
I also punched out 3 hearts from this silver glitter paper as well
Valentine sentiment from an old Close to My Heart stamp set - D129 February Word Puzzle
 
To finish the card:
I added my Sparkles - pink adhesive rhinestones
A metal tag with sentiment on it and red ribbon with the ends pulled through the hole of the tag
 
I am so glad you came by today and I hope that you will take the time to stop over at the blog
You will find more wonderful Sketch inspired creations by the rest of the DT on Team B
I also hope you will consider playing along with us - I would love to see what you come up with

Wishing You a...

JOYOUS SEASON
 
Welcome to my blog and another sharing day
Today is a card I made for the Design Team at  Try Stampin' on Tuesday, a weekly sketch challenge
 
This week Team B was inspired by Sketch #147 (see sketch below)
 
Here's my card...
 
 
Sketch #147
TWIST:  add a snowflake
 
I started with a blue A2 card base layered with a dotted pattern paper cut 1/4" smaller on all sides
 
I ran a piece of 5" x 2" kraft cardstock through my Cuttlebug using the snowflake folder
Once I ran this piece through the Cuttlebug, I then laid it on a flat surface
Next I rubbed white VersaCraft ink over the top - ink will only stick to the raised up surface
 
Sentiment from My Favorite Things using Kraft ink on ivory cardstock
This piece of paper I opted to make a little smaller to fit the sentiment I used  - cut at 3-1/4" x 1-1/2"
 
To finish the card: a snowflake punch in kraft and blue, layered on top of ivory circle punch
I then added a cream brad in the center of the snowflake and three brads in the lower left
 
I sure hope you will have a chance to play along with us this week
Make sure to check out the rest of the Design Team cards and be inspired

Holiday Tag-Stravaganza

This week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday we continue with our Holiday Tag-Stravaganza
Last week Design Team A kicked off the week with tags, tutorials and a whole lot of inspiration
 
This week is Design Team B's turn
We have more Holiday Tags to inspire and more tutorial's to share 
 
Here's my tag...
 
 
How to make this tag...
 
Basic supplies needed:
Paper Cutter, scissors, Adhesive, Glue Dots, Mounting Tape 
and other supplies described in the tutorial below
 
Begin with the follow paper cut to size:
White cardstock cut: 
5-1/2" x 3"
2" x 2"
Kraft cardstock cut:
4-3/4" x 2-3/4"
2" x 2"
2-1/2" x 1-1/2"
Two coordinating pattern papers:
Diamond pattern was cut at 3" x 2"
Dot pattern was cut at 3" x 3/4"
 
Using a Snowflake embossing folder, I ran the largest Kraft cardstock through my Cuttlebug
 
I then laid this embossed piece on a flat surface
Take the White VersaCraft ink and rub across the surface of the cardstock
The ink will cover the raised, embossed area only
 
Next I stamped a circle sentiment on to the 2" x 2" Kraft cardstock using Chocolate ink
Using a 1-1/2" circle punch - punch the sentiment out
 
Use the 2" x 2" white cardstock and a 1-1/2"snowflake punch - Sponge the edges with Chocolate ink
 
To finish the tag:
Using the last piece of Kraft cardstock 2-1/2" x 1-1/2"
punch another 1-1/2" circle for top of tag and a 1/2" circle for center of snowflake
Tie a 2" piece of red twine through tiny white button
Layer the 1/2" kraft circle and tiny white button with red twine on top of snowflake
Use three pieces of 12" twine - I used brown and red for top of tag
Loop twine through 1-1/2" kraft circle, which is folded in half and punch in center
 
See finished tag above for layers - working back to front
 
I hope you enjoyed my tutorial and have been inspired by my tag

I really like how it turned out - below is the sketch
 

4-1/4" x 5-1/2" stamped up piece of cardstock with this wedding background message from CTMH
I decided to cut a 3" circle out of this piece using my Cricut-George & Basic Shape cartridge

Bride/Groom was 2-1/2" Real Dial size from the Wild Card cartridge
Banner and layers of paper all from my stash
Pattern paper from 6 x 6 paper pad - Memory Box - Viola
