Progressive Card

In my workshops lately, I have been doing a lot of 3x3 cards. They are great for just a note, to put on a present or just send off as a thank-you. Well Heather over at Stamp with Heather has a challenge this week to take a 3x3 card and make it into a standard size card. I'm thinking, how awesome is this. I have (8) 3x3 cards from one workshop and (4) 3x3 cards from another workshop. I'm up for this challenge. She also has a sketch challenge out there this week. So, what do I think. Humm.... use the sketch and make a progressive card. Here is Heather's sketch and my progressive cards.

Here is where it started, 3x3 card.

This is how it ended up.

Card recipe: Stampin' Up stamp set 24/7

Mellow Moss, Barely Banana, Easter DSP, Cameo Coral Ink, Certainly Celery Ink, Chocolate Chip 1/4 in grosgrain ribbon, pretty in pink satin ribbon. I also cut out the little flowers in the standard size card and popped them up with pop dots.

I hope you enjoy.

Stamp with Heather - Challenge #4

Today Heather over at Stamp with Heather posted her Sunday sketch. I love her sketches. Here is her sketch and here is my submission. I used the following Stampin Up Products.

Kraft Card Stock

I used the flowers and center piece from the Eggcellent Eggs Kit (it's not just to decorate eggs), Wings of Friendship Stamp set and I used versamark ink and the popping pastels technique on the bird. Buttons are one of the blues (not sure which, my upline gave them to me :) ), and pretty in pink satin ribbon (I love this ribbon) and the sentiment is a rub-on from Chit Chat.

Now I'm off to make my submission for Just Buggin'

Hope you enjoy.

Stamp with Heather - Challenge #3

This is such a great sketch. Stamp with Heather had this for her challenge last week. It ends in a couple of hours, so I'm down to the wire. I used (one of the pinks - pink passion, pretty in pink card stock), pretty in pink satin ribbon. The curly label punch, some rub-ons from my stash, twine, and some baubles I got in a swap. I used water color paper (I just got this in my last order) and watercolored the image with Magnificent Magenta, Orchard Opulence, and Summer Sun. I colored on a clear block with my markers and picked up the color with an aqua painter. I really love how this card turned out. For the sentiment I used rub-ons from Chit Chat. Hope you enjoy!

Challenge #28 - Going Green

Ever have one of those oops moments. Well today was mine. My submission for Just Buggin' was due last night. I uploaded the photo, typed the post and forgot to submit it. So, I'm not sure when this will post over at Just Buggin' but here is my submission for your enjoyment.

I used Paper Doll Dress Up and Designer Calendar (love this cart). Now I'm off to pick last weeks winner. Enjoy.

Challenge #27 - Creative Cards

This week over at Just Buggin' we were suppose to use the creative card feature on any cartridge. I used Wild Card for mine and it's a card I made for a friend who just bought her first home. I love the envelope shaped like the door. Enjoy.
