Crazy 4 Challenges - Thank You for Teacher

It's almost the end of the school year, kids are thrilled...ok maybe teachers are too.  The Crazy 4 Challenges team has the perfect teachers challenge this week.  Make a thank you card for a teacher.

I found the perfect pattern paper in my stash that has an all over apple pattern.  I used Stampin' Up!'s Owl Builder, Tree Builder and 1 3/4" Scallop punch to create the owl.  That little apple is included in the Tree Builder - perfect right?  I used several layers of the Greetings Thinlits die cuts to make the "Thanks" thicker.

I kept the inside simple and used the new Layering Square Framelits for my punny sentiment.  With the Little Letters Framelits I can create any sentiment I choose.

Happy Stampin', 
Raquel

Crazy 4 Challenges - Sketch

It's the 3rd Saturday of the month and that means it's sketch time with Crazy 4 Challenges.  I decided to use one of Karen Burniston's new dies called Steampunk Charms.  Virgil the Pig is ready to fly on over to the party!  The wings and gear are cut from Turquoise Gemstone Shimmer Sheetz.

 I used the Hanging Charm Pull Tab for my base and adhered Virgil in the center of the frame.  When you pull the tab at the top, the inside sentiment is revealed.

 Here's a side view of the card.

Karen Burniston May Designer Challenge - Stage it Stencils

I would like to show you a new product from Karen Burniston!  It's called Stage it Stencils and they are wonderful!  The great thing about these stencils is that they have the images split into two areas so you can add multiple colors - like say these cherries.

I placed the Cherries Layering Stencil (KS010)onto Smooth Finish Cardstock and sponged Real Red Classic ink onto the cherry portion of the stencil.  I rinsed off the stencil, then placed it back on my card but using the stems images now and sponged Garden Green Classic Ink.  Rise off that stencil one more time and line up the cherries and cover with translucent paste.  While the paste is still wet, cover with True Red Silk Microfine Glitter.  These cherries are so sweet!

I hope I have inspired you to try Karen's new stencils because they are so much fun!  Karen's new Stage it Stencils will be available May 20th!

Crazy 4 Challenges - White Flower

May's flower of the month is lily of the valley, typically white.  This week's Crazy 4 Challenges challenge is to use a white flower on your card.  I must confess that when I was making this card I was very tempted to color in said flower.  So to make sure I had enough white flowers on my card I also stenciled some too!

I used Karen Burniston's new stencil called Blossom Layering Stencil (S009) which will be available starting May 20th.  I sponged Whisper White Craft ink over the stencil.  Next I covered the wet ink with white embossing powder and heat set.  I used a Basic Black Stampin' Write to do the flower centers.
I used Accordion Fancy Label to showcase my large Flower Label Peel off Sticker.  The sentiment was stamped onto a die that's included in the Rose Wonder Bundle from Stampin' Up!
