CHF05 Challenge - Summer Theme

Today I am the hostess for the Cornish Heritage Farms Challenge. I chose a summer theme.

I love to do the radiating rays of the sun, and I hope you can tell that's a crab crawling around the sand.

Please join us every other Tuesday for the CHF.

I used my cb and Swiss Dots EF, some twine, sponging, torn paper, and masking for this card. The crab is a digi, #227C. Take a look at all the images HERE, and don't forget to take a look at what the rest of the DT has done.

Our hostess for the Cracked Glass tutorial is Davi!

Her tutorial can be seen HERE.

I used MFP's set "Dogwood Blossoms", and a flourish in olive green. The only thing I added with the dp is the ribbon and leaf pin.

Please join us again for another fun SSTSV tutorial.

CCEE1228 Reverse Masking

Our Hostess for July is Lois, who chose to have us make a card using Reverse Masking.

I used my CB to cut a flourish, then used it as a stencil with Mellow Moss ink. The little flowers are punches, filled in with pearls and liquid pearls. The sentiment is from MFP's Dogwood Blossoms.

Please join us, linking your card HERE, and come back again next time.

TTSTV Challenge 6 - Side Step Tutorial

Today I am the hostess for the Speedy TV Tutorial. Here it is:

Stair Step Card Tutorial

By Anne Harmon

Supplies:

Paper, inks, scissors, cutter and Scor-Pal, stamps, punches

Step 1

Cut cardstock 8 ½” x 5 ½”

Step 2

Fold card to A2 size (5 ½” x 4 ¼”). Place in cutter, and cut from fold
at 1 ½” down to 1 ½”. On Scor-Pal, score at 1 ½” and 3”. Turn card over, and score at 1 1/2" and 3" as before. (Be sure NOT to score the left side!)

Step 3

Your folding should look like this……..stairs on the right.

Step 4

I finished my card with stamped images, punches, piercing, and dimensionals

I hope you found this easy to follow!!

LAST posting (CCEE below)

This is my LAST posting for a while. The challenge was to use tissue. I looked for some tissue paper, and when I couldn't find any, I decided to use kleenex tissue.

The technique is faux silk, and I think it came out pretty well.

No stamping, but plenty of die cuts, and some punches and pearls.

Got a call from the surgeon's office, and I am to be at the hospital at 6:45 tomorrow morning. I'll be glad to eventually be rid of the pain in my thumb, but not the recuperation I know will be lengthy.

Sooooooooo....this is my last for a while. enjoy your summer!

CCEE1227 Three Circles

Our hostess, Lois, challenged us to make a card using three circles. It looks like there is one circle, but actually, there are four.

The three layers of the flowers are circles.......at least that's how they began. And of course they are RED!

Join us, and post your card HERE. We'll see you again next week!

Christmas in July

Today the sketch challenge was easy, and pretty interesting too.

I used a new summer set from MFP - A Heinrich Co. called "Christmas Cardinals". I think it was time for some RED!

Happy 4th of July. Ours started out with rain, but the sun has come out, and it will be hot and humid. Perfect for stying inside, and having DH cook out!

CHF04 - Birthday

Today's Challenge theme is Birthday. I thought this card would be a good summer birthday card for a guy.

I used all digi stamps from Cornish Heritage Farms on this card, and popped a lot of layers for dimension.

The digis are: shells - 762C, 228D
chest - 460G
sentiment - 987D

Please join us every week HERE

Two for MOnday

Here are the two cards I made for today. This one using Island Life from MFP - A Heinrich Co. is for the Clean And Simple challenge. We were to use navy, olive and white. Check!

This one is for the Technique Lovers Challenge. I used another MFP set, Silly Shells, for embellishing the sunshine rays as asked.

this may be my last posting for a while. My youngest grandson is here for his vacation until Thursday night, and Friday morning I have hand surgery. I will be in a cast for two months, and of course it's my dominant hand, so that's it for the summer for me.

Have a fabulous summer, wherever you are, and I'll see you when I can stamp again. Hugs to you all.

Stampin' Sisterhood Challenge #19

The Stampin' stisterhood Challenge for this month is to make a card using THIS photo for inspiration.

I used the Kittie Kit called Beach (from Rubbernecker Stamps). I added some die cut clouds and a shell with a pearl in place of the starfish. The sentiment from Rubbernecker (647-07 2012 Sentiments #2 - Memories and Flowers) uses only the last two words.
