So Sweet – TE Share Joy Challenge #55

Hello! I’m playing along with Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #55.

I used the sketch to create a CAS friendship card:

Let’s break down the card:

I heat-embossed the sentiment from Toe-tally Awesome combining it with die-cut ice cream cones created with the Little Bits – Ice Cream Cone die. I added patterned paper from TE 6×6 Paper Pack – Hello Happiness (from which I took my color cues) and put everything on to a dry-embossed background created with the Embossing Folder – Lots of Dots.

I used the sketch and the inspiration photo to create a fall-themed card:

I heat-embossed the Pumpkin Bouquet with gold embossing powder and colored it with watercolors and cut it out with its corresponding die. I dry-embossed the circle background for more texture against the patterned papers from TE 6×6 Paper Pack – Playful Patterns – Harvest.

To finish off the card, I stamped a sentiment from Many Minis – Holidays on to a tag cut with a die in the Mini Tags set.

Fall Die-Cut Scene – TE Share Joy Challenge #53

Hello! I’m playing along with Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #53. (Note: These challenges are no longer run. I was a huge fan!)

I used the sketch to create a fall-themed scene:

Fall Die-Cut Scene - TE Share Joy Challenge #53

I stamped the Birch Tree Background and cut it out with a circle in the Stitched Circle Stacklets set. I created a lot of pumpkins with Little Bits – Fall Harvest and the Little Bits – Fox, placing them in the On the Road – Wagon. I wanted the fox to appear to be almost camouflaged by the pumpkins. I used a sentiment from Woodsy Wishes (the sentiments in the set have just the right touch of whimsy!).

Ghostly Greetings! – Share Joy Challenge #52

Hello! I’m playing along with Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #52.

I created a CAS Halloween-themed card:

I had the “Ghost Busters” movie in the back of my mind as I created this card. I cut the Downtown Border and backed it with cardstock (some of the windows were not punched out). I backed the Little Bits – Ghosts with gray cardstock and attached the ghosts with foam to the background, on which I had stamped the sentiment from the Boo to You set. I framed the scene with one of the Stitched Frame Stacklets 1 dies.

When I was done, my husband suggested something be added above the sentiment (“like a bat,” he said). Luckily I had just the thing – a bat from the Haunted Accessories set.

I used the sketch to create a birthday card:

I used just one of the layers in the Build a Cake set (this die set is so versatile!). I let the colors in the TE 6×6 Paper Pack – Hello Happiness dictate the other colors in the card. I heat-embossed a sentiment from Bold Brushstrokes.

When I finished, the Strawberry Milkshake cardstock panel looked unfinished, so I added a hand-drawn dotted line with a Uni-Ball Impact Gel Pen – White.
