Ahoy! – Share Joy Challenge #45

I’m playing along with Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #45.

TE Share Joy Challenge #45

I flipped the sketch horizontally to make a CAS nautical-themed card.

TE Share Joy Challenge #45

I pulled out my stash of patterned papers (I have several nautical-themed collections, mostly Carta Bella and Echo Park) from which I cut the Little Bits – Fishing Boat and the Build a Scene – Rolling Waves. I purposely cut the wave in the larger circle and the smaller one so that they would like up. I finished off the scene with a sentiment from Ships Ahoy stamp & die combo stamped in a cloud.

The Adventure Begins! – Share Joy Challenge #44

I’m playing along with Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #44.

I used the sketch (flipped horizontally) to create a CAS celebration card for a boy featuring the Sky High – Rocket set. This card came together quickly.

TE Share Joy Challenge #44

I heat-embossed a sentiment from Sky High Sentiments on a diagonal strip and adhered it to a panel that was dry-embossed with the Lots of Stars embossing folder. I added the assembled the Sky High – Rocket with foam.

To the Beach – TE Share Joy Challenge #43

I’m playing along with Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #43.

TE Share Joy Challenge #43

I used the sketch (rotated ninety degrees counter-clockwise) to create a beach-themed card.

TE Share Joy Challenge #43

I put a die-cut circle representing the sun in the spot on the sketch where there’s a large circle and used the swim suit pieces in the spots with the smaller circles. (I took a lot of artistic license with the sketch!)

For this card, I colored watercolor cardstock with Distress Inks before cutting it with the various dies (from the On the Line Beach Cutting Plate set) to create a different look. Instead of centering the palms on the scene, I offset them so that the palm on the right is more prominent. The Sunshine word die was a complimentary die provided in one of my Taylored Expressions orders.

Sunny Summer Days – TE Share Joy Challenge #42

I’m playing along with Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #42.

TE Share Joy Challenge #42

I used the sketch to create a card celebrating summer. I was indirectly influenced by the inspiration photo. The ice cream cone made me think of popsicles, which made me think of flip flops, …).

The Little Bits adhered to the die-cut circles, do the heavy lifting here, while the Picture Perfect – Sunny Days frame adds a sentiment and ties the card together.

Hello Summer – TE Share Joy Challenge #41

I’m playing along with Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #41.

TE Share Joy Challenge 41

I used the sketch and the colors to create a summer-themed card:

TE Share Joy Challenge #41

I used the Eventful – Pool Party die to do the “heavy lifting” of my design. The big “hello” from Bold Brushstrokes was heat-embossed on the Candy Corn cardstock rectangle. To embellish, I couldn’t resist using another pair of Little Bits – Flip Flops on this card (I’ve used these on half a dozen cards this summer!).
