This week’s Friday Fun Challenge is brought to you by Christi. She has challenged us to make a card based on this book cover:
Here is my card. All the papers are from Stampin’ Up! and a sticker from SRM Stickers.
I know, clean and simple….Can you believe it?
Be sure to check out what Christi, Jimmi and Sherry have done too.
I’ll be back tomorrow for the Operation Write Home Bunny Hop. Be prepared for your fingers to get tired from hopping along to over 130 blogs for a great cause.
This week Jimmi says: Book Challenge, make a card or other paper crafted project based upon and/or inspired by the book you are reading or last read (or a favorite). Well, I did actually read a novel back in December, but it was a crime novel so not much I could use for inspiration. The last BOOK I read was one of P’nut’s favorites called “Five Little Ladybugs,” she picked that as her bed time story last night. So this card is based on that book.
I know, I didn’t actually stamp on this card again. What is up with THAT? Anyway, there are 5 tiny ladybug brads in the center strip hiding among the holes of the circle border punch. This is a nice 5 minute card that can be sent any time but would also make a great Valentine’s Day card for your Love Bug.
Check out what the other Friday Fun Chicks have done.
Have a GREAT week!
We are starting off the year with a little Friday Fun Inspiration for you.
I liked the window panels in the back and had planned on using more circles but ended up with only one. I used some oranges and blues although I have much more white space and silver.
The DP is from SEI and the sentiment is from a set of SRM stickers. This was a quick and simple card with no stamping, which is rare for me, but I think it works :) Thanks for stopping by and don’t forget to check out the other Friday Fun Chicks. Sherry is finally back with us….Yipee!!!
It’s time for another challenge on the InStyle Stamps Blog. This month we have another great photo inspiration to take our colors from. It is a picture of Christmas Pudding (No, I didn’t know that was a real thing either.) 
And here is my interpretation using Sandy.
I wanted to keep it simple and let a lot of the Kraft card stock show through. The sentiment is from SRM Stickers Happy Holidays. You know you have a lot of ribbon when you can match the ribbon on your card with the ribbon in the inspiration piece EXACTLY. No, it’s not a problem, it’s completely under control…I swear!! ;)
Please play along with us and show us what you did on the InStyle Stamps Blog.
Supplies: Kraft Card Stock, White Card Stock, Pear Pizzaz Card Stock, Eskimo Kisses DP- Basic Grey, Copic Markers, Nestabilities dies, Gold Ribbon, SRM Stickers
This is my second week playing along with the Paper Cupcakes Design Team and this week the challenge is to make a Christmas card using non-traditional colors.
Well, you can’t get too much more non-traditional than pink metallic. There is red and green in the Eskimo Kisses Decorative Paper by BasicGrey, but I pulled out the pink and blue to use with Candy Cane Cupcake. One of our favorite shows is Cupcake Wars and this sweet treat makes me think of something you would see on there. Can’t you just see it, a mint chocolate chip cupcake with peppermint butter cream frosting and crushed chocolate bits sprinkled on top with a candy cane adornment. Ok, now my mouth is watering.
Most of this card is pretty straight forward. I used the Eskimo Kisses designer paper paired with Bashful Blue and the metallic pink card stock. I used an SRM sticker for the sentiment and added a sheer bow. I really like the final element. I cut out the border using a die from the Butterfly set from Spellbinders. What did I cut it out of???? The plastic packaging from the die. I store my dies on magnet sheets in my cabinet, so the packaging can be easily recycled. It adds a nice element without being too busy.
