Challenges, Craft Roulette

Hello friend

Anne S

This was my Craft Roulette challenge card this week, for my 80th submission woohoo!! It’s also worked out perfectly for the As you like it challenge of your favourite between Love and Friendship. Obviously I chose friendship in this case – to me a close friendship has a healthy dose of love anyway.

  • Project: Card for friend(s)
  • Colours: Blue jeans + 2 (I went with three shades of denim blue cardstock plus green and yellow)
  • Element: Starts with “F” (I chose flowers)
  • Random: Stack(s) (some of my flowers are stacked)

Supplies used:

  • Be Bold Blooms and Club Blooms dies by Spellbinders
  • Most cardstock by Stampin’ Up! (Seaside Spray, Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy, Pear Pizazz, Old Olive) – and random yellow scraps from my scrap bags
  • Hello Friend sentiment from Painted Blossoms by Gina K Designs
  • Rhinestone basic jewels by Stampin’ Up!

Inlaid die cut Christmas trees part 2

Anne S

Another set of trees using Gina K Designs’ Christmas Tree cover plate die. I this these are my favourite versions of the cards, I just love the more subtle colours of the papers together. I just flicked through my paper samples and found greens that I thought could work well together. Not a single paper pack in this case was a Christmas paper, so it just shows what you can find when you look outside the box a wee bit.

I’ve decided to enter these into a few challenges this week – I’ve been slack at doing challenges lately, so I guess I’m making up for lost time. I keep updating my Instagram feed, but forgetting to post here oops:

Supplies used:

  • Christmas Tree cover plate die by Gina K Designs
  • Sentiment from Sparkle and Shine stamp set by Gina K Designs
  • Patterned papers from Stampin’ Up!
    – Ever Eden (retired)
    – Gilded Autumn (retired)

  • Gold pearls by Unity? (not 100% as the packaging has disappeared)
  • Gold glitter cardstock by Craft Perfect/Tonic Studios
Challenges

Z is for Zombies

Anne S

I haven’t joined in with any of the challenges yet on The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers blog, but I came across this sentiment yesterday while looking for something else, and I decided I couldn’t go past joining in the Z is for Zombies challenge. It really makes me laugh, and would make an awesome non-mushy Valentine’s Day card! 😛

Supplies used:

  • Inks: Red Velvet, Dusty Rose, Sweet Mango, Sweet Corn by Gina K Designs
  • Sentiment: Sassy Pants Birthday Greetings by My Favorite Things
  • Splatters: Gorgeous Grunge by Stampin’ Up! (retired), and Red Hot embossing powder by Gina K Designs
  • Mummy (zombie) die: Trick or Treat 2 by Sizzix
Challenges

White on white – Tic Tac Toe TTTC160

Anne S

Oh boy I’m way out of my comfort zone with this one – I actually combined three challenges in one this time, covering a sketch challenge set by a new team, along with completing this week’s Tic Tac Toe Challenge, and today’s card for my personal CardMaynia challenge.

I decided to choose column 1, which is: White on white, Silver, and Die cut.

This one uses all Stampin’ Up! products, which was tough for me to do:

  • Dies: Pierced Blooms, Scalloped Contours, Wreath Builder
  • Embossing folders: Greenery, Pinewood Planks
  • Sentiment: Wetlands stamp set
  • Embellishments: Basic rhinestones
