Back to School – TE Share Joy Challenge #50

Hello! I’m playing along with Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #50.

TE Share Joy Challenge #50

I used the sketch to create a back-to-school themed card:

TE Share Joy Challenge #50

I paired the Whole Wide World globe die cut with a sentiment from Best in the World along with Echo Park patterned papers. I used the Stitched Square Stacklets and Stitched Rectangle Stacklets to cut the notebook papers. This would be a fun card to give to a son or daughter headed back to school or off to college.

Late Summer Hello: TE Share Joy Challenge #49

Hello! I’m playing along with Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #49.

TE Share Joy Challenge #49

I used the sketch and the colors to create a CAS, beach-themed card (not ready to say “good bye” to summer quite yet!):

TE Share Joy Challenge #49I trimmed the Beach Border with the one of the Stitched Square Stacklets dies after stamping the cardstock with a sentiment from Simply Succulents Stamp & Die Combo in Sugar Cube ink.

I had this card all assembled with a white strip (rather than the patterned paper) and it looked a little blah, so I flipped through my stack of patterned paper and pulled out this fun Echo Part print to add just a touch of whimsy! I also dry-embossed the background cardstock with the On the Spot embossing folder to add interest and texture. (I find that if there are multiple layers in a card design, it always helps to add some patterned paper and dry-embossing!)

Haunted Halloween – TE Share Joy Challenge #48

Hello! I’m playing along with Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #48.

TE Share Joy Challenge #48

I used the sketch to create a CAS Halloween card:

TE Share Joy Challenge #48

I used the 13 Dead End Drive die (trimming off the bottom section) to create the haunted house and witch. I backed the windows with grey cardstock and the moon with white cardstock (I normally put yellow in for moons, but I wanted to keep the color palette quiet). I used old Halloween patterned paper for the background (I have a ton of patterned paper packs for Halloween!). I used a thin tape from my stash (never before used!) for the detail strips. I stamped the Boo to You set sentiment onto cardstock, which I cut with the smallest Stitched Rectangle Stacklets die (by cutting and then cutting again to shorten the length). The bats are from the just-released Haunted Accessories set.

Boo! – TE Share Joy Challenge #47

Hello! I’m playing along with Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #47.

TE Share Joy Challenge #47

I used the sketch to create a CAS Halloween card (which is more on the cute side than the spooky):

TE Share Joy Challenge #47

I used Chalkstock for the Little Bits – Black Cat and the crow (raven?) in the Gothic Window Accessories set. It’s such a rich black color.

TE Share Joy Challenge #47

The Gothic Window assembly is lifted up with foam adhesive. I cut the window background from the TE 6×6 Paper Pack – Playful Patterns – Haunted with one of the Label Stacklets 5 dies.

Hooray! – TE Share Joy Challenge #46

I’m playing along with Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #46.

TE Share Joy Challenge #46

I used the sketch to create a CAS birthday card:

TE Share Joy Challenge #46
I stamped the elephant from the Hippo Birdy set onto watercolor paper which I had colored with Distress Inks using a splattering technique.

TE Share Joy Challenge #46

I cut the elephant with its corresponding die and added balloons which were cut from Ranger Gloss Paper, which I colored with Distress Inks. I heat-embossed the Little Bits of Birthday sentiment.
