Cards Competition Entry Paper Smooches Stamping

Wish You Were Here

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

I made a card! lol I almost feel like shouting it from the roof tops. It isn’t my best ever but it is done! Yay! It has been hard to find the time to create over the last week or so. The few times I have had a moment have been unproductive, but today…success! And, I was just looking at the Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenge for this week and weirdly enough my card fits the sketch. Double yay!

October 14-20 2013 Designer Drafts challenge

And here is my card:

Wish You Were Here
Materials used: Stamps – Fanciful Fall (Paper Smooches), Say Cheese (Lawn Fawn); Wise Dies – Clouds (Paper Smooches); Cardstock – American Crafts, Knights; Hero Arts Shadow Ink – Bubble Gum (Hero Arts); and Copic Markers.

It is not quite what is in my head but given that it took me about five times to get the toadstool coloured in a way I liked, I am MORE than happy with it! 🙂 Inspired to keep creating now. 🙂

Hope you are all happy and well. Big hugs and best wishes to all my Canadian friends as they celebrate their Thanksgiving Day!

Happy Stamping!

Cards Paper Smooches Stamping

Hey Chickie

Hi Everyone,

Ahhh….that’s better! The 10 minute cardmaking challenge was super fun this morning but I wanted to create the card that was in my head. This meant using slightly brighter colours, adding some clouds and some leaves. I had originally planned to keep the thought bubble but somewhere along the way that idea was changed. Not sure how or why. Was fun paper piecing rather than painting the images and I love the bright colours.

Hey Chickie
Materials used: Stamps – Chubby Chums, Spring Groves, Summer Groves, Zoo Crew (Paper Smooches); Dies – Clouds (Paper Smooches); Cardstock – American Crafts, Knight; Hero Arts Shadow Ink – Bubble Gum (Hero Arts); Distress Markers (Ranger), and Glossy Accents (Ranger).

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy Stamping!

Art Impressions Competition Entry News

AI Honourable Mention

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I have been missing in action this week. Having managed to avoid all the coughs and colds throughout winter, I was struck down with the dreaded lurgy just in time for Spring. *sigh* It has severely limited my crafting time (which translates to I have struggled to get out of bed, let alone pick up a paintbrush)! So resting is high on the agenda.

Last night I was just browsing through a couple of websites and I remembered that I hadn’t checked out the results from the Art Impressions challenge (117 – AI People) which I entered with my Father’s Day card. Imagine my surprise and excitement to find out my card was selected as an “Honourable Mention“. SO THRILLED! And, because you know I need to have the visual reminder, here’s the screen capture of the announcement. Mine is the second card (but isn’t that first one cute – love the paper pieced dress!).

Oh, and I told my Dad that I won with his Father’s Day card. His response – “That’s because I made you move the dog!” lol

I hope you are all happy and well!

Cards Competition Entry Paper Smooches Stamping

Hi

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all having, or have had, a great weekend! I had just come in from seeing The Internship (which I thoroughly enjoyed. Lots of laughs!) when I realised there was still time to create another card for the Paper Smooches Sparks challenge for this week. I love the sketch they have up but I don’t think my scene cards completely suit the sketch, or rather, my interpretation hasn’t quite worked. Incentive to try again, I think! lol

I love the little sheep from the Party Posse set – isn’t it cute! – so he was my go to choice for this card. In my mind I had the idea of counting sheep with sheep jumping over fences which is how the little picket fence came to be used. I decided to keep the card as a generic greeting card this time.

Here is my second entry into this week’s Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenge:

Hi
Materials used: Stamps – Forest Whimsy, Party Posse, Simply Said, Spring Groves, Summer Groves (Paper Smooches); Cardstock – American Crafts, Knights; Distress Ink and Distress Markers.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a great day!

Happy Stamping!
