SQSC 37


Good morning, friends!  I'm still fighting off this ridiculous cold.  I'm leaving for Europe soon, so, I guess it's better now than while I'm away.  Today the weather is gloomy, so off to the craft room I go!





Today's card is inspired by the layout over at the Stampin Queens Sketch Challenge blog.  I have so many scraps of paper laying around and this was the perfect opportunity to use some of it.  I began with a Very Vanilla cardstock base.  The first layer is a piece of really pretty patterned paper, the second layer is also Very Vanilla.  For this layer I ran it through my Big Shot using a large polka dot embossing plate, then used my round scallop punch.  I inked the edges on this layer to give it a softer touch.  To finish this pretty card off, I added a paper butterfly with rhinestone, Pink buttons, a 'Thank You' sentiment and twine.

Thank You for stopping by!

  1. Alyson, I hope that you feel better before your journey to Europe.
    And your card is wonderful! I'm a big fan of using what you have, and scraps are wonderful! and so is your card! I just love how you punched the card stock to reveal both the pattern paper and give your butterfly a spot to sit.
    thank you for playing along with us SQSC

Gold Star

This is my entry for the Mojo Monday challlenge.  This has been a very busy week, with working 2 jobs, weight training, and writing a final exam, I have had very little time to relax and craft.  I was unable to come up with my own idea and cased this card from Teresa Kline/Paperie Blooms .  Now that I am done my course I have a little more free time. Until next time.

Summer Smooches

Today I am entering my card in two different challenges.  I always like to pick a color challenge with a sketch challenge. I chose the color combo from  Colour Q #130 and the sketch from  Just-Add-Ink . I love this new stamp set Summer Smooches, that will be available April 01-30.  It's super cute a quite versatile. I began my creation a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Tempting Turquoise cardstock.  The first layer is Certainly Celery and measures 4" x 5 1/4".  The second layer is an embossed piece of Whisper White cardstock and measures 3 3/4" x 5".  I stamped the tulips using Melon Mambo, and the other image using Tempting Turquoise, Certainly Celery and Daffodil delight. Here are the sketch and colors:

CASE Study Challenge #133 & Happy Birthday

For this weeks CASE study challenge, I used a variety of papers and embellishments.  Michaels was having a 30% off sale on many of their stickers, so a bought a pile and used some in this card.   I used many layers of paper with a variety of patterns along with die cuts & embellishments from Martha Stewart to Stampin' Up! and Creative Memories. Happy Sunday! Alyson
