Week of 7/14/18

VSN is going on at Spiltcoast Stampers and I did a bunch of cards this week. We hope you come play along in the fun challenges.
 FS596 - Today's Featured Stamper is Mary (redi2stamp). I have loved so many great cards from Mary. Today I drew inspiration from this super sweet CARD.

I loved the great heart and the paw print. I turned the card and added a red heart with some die cut dog images (I made 5 for my monthly donation). Added paw print paper to the bottom rather than the embossed panel and finished off with this wonderful sympathy sentiment from Dare 2 Be Artzy.

Pet Sympathy

 I hosted the Teapot Tuesday challenge this week.

MMTPT520 - Craft A Card

Stamped the tree stump and the bird and colored with copics. Cut the layers and added a doily. Added glitter hearts to the tree stump. I also dug really deep for a lace table runner and trimmed the paper layers with the lace table runner. Finished off with pearls and ribbon.

Copics used:


 WT696 - Simplicity Day

USEIT2018 - Leather Flowers

Super quick cards for me today. These giant leather flowers were given to me about 10 years ago from my mom. These are the last two of them. They took up a bunch of space in a drawer in my craft room and I am happy to have them used up.

Die cut the border of the purple paper, tied a ribbon bow and stamped the sentiment. Finished off with the leather flowers.

I hosted this challenge for Staycation:

 JUL18VSNG - Holiday World

CCC18JUN - Change up a card from Last Year

This image was already colored sitting on my desk to put on a card. I have a large stack of colored images that make it quick to make cards when I am in a hurry and doing VSN is sure when they come in handy. I take my coloring pencils on road trips and then have a few colored waiting for cards.

Used this darling Stampin Bella image and cut down the side with a die cut that mirrored the waves in the image skirt. Added a black layer and then the white lace layer. Finished off with the sticker.

USEIT2018 - These stickers

This card was only 5 minutes to put together. I have a bunch of stickers that I no longer use and am trying to use up and this was one of them. This is my goal for 2018 to use up as many of these stickers as possible.

Cut down the layers of papers and added the stickers.

 JUL18VSNJ - Sliding into your Staycation

CCC18JUN - Change up a card you made in 2017 - Last Year

This image was already colored from when I did the card in 2017 so it made creating this card super quick. Created the slider card, added the colored image and stamped the sentiment.

 JUL18VSNK - Bicycle Fun

Stamped the bike, colored with copics, the flowers were sitting on my desk already stamped and cut so just needed to shape and add to the card. Popped the frame on dimensionals and added the bike, flowers and sentiment.

This is my little guy and his very first card. He made it for the VSN challenge for kids.

 JUL18VSNKIDS - Soap Bubble Art

This is my little guy's first card ever. He was so excited to play in my craft room to do this art project that he decided to make it to a card. I will upload a couple of pictures to my blog tomorrow of him doing a couple of steps to make this card. I hope he comes to play in my craft room with me again. :)

He did the bubble art technique from the video description on the VSN challenge for the BG. He used blue paint and water color paper. Once done he cut down the layers and stamped the sentiment. He thought it looked like pool water and added a fun pool sticker from my stash.

 JUL18VSNL - Coffee Break

IC658 - Zazzle Souvenirs where I found this MUG

Stamped the image and colored with copics. Cut down the layers and the sentiment.

Coffee?

Copics used:

 JUL18VSNM - Lemony Yellow

The challenge is Lemony Yellow. Now you ask why I am adding a blue card....My goal for 2018 is to use stuff up. These die cut borders were sent to me in a teapot exchange some time ago and I thought it was time to use them. Well when I saw the challenge I made the yellow and thought I should just finish off the second die cut to get them off my desk. So yes I am cheating and loading 2 cards but they are the exact same one yellow for the challenge and one blue to use stuff up. :) I hope there are no challenge police here.
