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.

Happy Stampin',

Karen Burniston's March Designer Challenge - Barns, Barns, Barns

It's time for Karen Burniston's Designer Challenge!  The team was challenged to use the new Barn Pop Stand.  I decided to experiment with a technique that Kelly Booth showed the team.  I used a retired Stampin' Up! background stamp called Print Pattern to create the colorful background and Karen's new Farm Greetings for the sentiment.  I used various Stampin' Write Markers to color in the sentiments - I love the open sentiment giving me the ability to color the words in.

For the inside I went a little "Hog Wild"!  Virgil sure likes to have his fun.  I added a party hat, balloon, glasses & mustache from Props 1 & 2.  I used Outdoor Edges & a decorator Katie Label creates an area to write a personal note. 

For the barn, I used the same stamping technique as the front but stamped with Hardwood from Stampin' Up!  I had just enough of the multi-colored paper left over to stamp a cake from Endless Birthday Wishes for the center of the barn.  I used a fine point black pen to accent the doors & windows.  

For the back of the barn, I added another Virgil (on a spinner from Rectangle Pull Card) complete with party blower, hat, balloon & cake.  See Virgil's hat?  He's got an arrow through his hat & a rooster instead of a pompom.  I used a fine point pen to add details to the balloon & Virgil.

And another look at Hog Wild Virgil!

I hope you have enjoyed my card & stop back tomorrow for my 2nd card for the Barns, Barns, Barns Challenge.

Happy Stampin',

Karen Burniston Designer Challenge - Accordions with Friends

This months challenge is Accordions with Friends, you saw my friend Debra's post yesterday and now here's mine.  I used the Oval Accordion and Oval Dots Frame Edges for the base.  For the front, I used Karen's new Farm Grettings Clear Stamp set and colored the key words with Stampin' Write Markers.

Open up the card to reveal 4 panels of fun animals that are ready to celebrate your birthday!

Here's Brownie the Cow with a red glittered party hat & noise maker from Props 2.  Yes that's an actual metal earring....ok jump ring.

Cheepers the Chicken is holding a present from Evergreen Pivot card and a glittered balloon from Props 2.

Virgil the Pig is ready to party with his glittered sunglasses and bow tie from Props 1.  Let's not forget his party hat too!

I invited one more friend to join in on the fun!  My 12 year old neighbor Alicia made this card.  I enjoy crafting with Alicia because she's so eager to learn and loves glitter just as much as I do.

Alicia used the Accordion Star die - just like Debra my other friend.  If you're wondering, they didn't consult each other on what die they were going to use.

Notice the beautiful Amethyst Silk Microfine Glitter on the center star!  The Happy Birthday Pop Up die set provided the perfect sentiment.  Glitter flower dots helps to hold the string in place for the banners.

 

I hope you enjoyed the Accordions with Friends challenge and check out Karen Burniston's post tomorrow on the Elizabeth Craft Designs blog.



Happy Crafting,
