Stamp-A-Faire Challenge #7

Stamp-A-Faire Challenge 7 is to layer two or three stamp sets together to come up with a surprising pairing. I had a hard time coming up with something at first, but once I got my idea it came together fairly quickly. I made an anniversary card using the two Warm Happiness sets and adding a couple of "sweet" touches from Tea For Two Additions (click on the photo for a closer look!). I think this is my favorite project of the day, so far!


Back with Challenge 8 soon.

Stamp-A-Faire Challenge #6

Stamp-A-Faire Challenge 6 is to create notches for wrapping twine or ribbon around a card. I used a small rectangle punch from Fiskars to make the notches for this sympathy card.

The fern from Masculine Motifs is stamped on a business card size piece of balsa wood.

Back with Challenge 7 in a few.

Stamp-A-Faire Challenge #5

Stamp-A-Faire Challenge 5 is to take a solid stamp image and use it to create a border. I had fun creating this card. I took the moon image from Masculine Motifs and used it to create waves for my boat to sail upon. The Echo Park splash paper was perfect inspiration for my color combination.

Today would be a perfect day to be out on the water--it's sunny and warm here in the PNW. Summer is finally here!

Back soon with Challenge 6!

Stamp-A-Faire Challenge #4

Stamp-A-Fair Challenge 4 is a color combo. Hawaiian Shores, Enchanted Evening, Simply Chartreuse and Ripe Avocado. Cool tones are my favorites by far, but for some reason I had a hard time coming up with an idea for this card. I ended up making a circle card, which I haven't made much of before.

Challenge 5 is up next.

Stamp-A-Faire Challenge #3

Stamp-A-Faire Challenge 3 is to create a window card and thread ribbon through the window around the card. I managed to create this card using up scraps from my scrap bin and repurposing some paper packaging from a gift swap. Always love it when I can reuse items!

Challenge 4 is up next!

Stamp-A-Faire Challenge #2

Hi again. I'm back with Challenge 2 for Stamp-A-Faire. This challenge is to pair hot pink with charcoal gray, a very girly combination for sure!

My picture seems to make the pink look darker, almost red, but it's very Raspberry Fizz-like in real life! I tried a couple of new things on this card: washi tape--the strip on the bottom of the tag; Copic coloring on the silk ribbon (it was white, I turned it gray with C6 marker); and the decorative paper is from Webster's Pages Trendsetter collection.

Back in a flash with Challenge 3!

Stamp-A-Faire Challenge #1

Happy Weekend! I'm participating in PTI's Stamp-A-Faire Challenges today. There are 10 total and I've completed each one, so you will see quite a few posts from me today!

First up is Challenge 1, to create a patterned strip using decorative elements. I decided to make a border using the three button images from Studio Style:

The color combo was one of the bonus combos provided this week for Online Card Camp.

Back in a few minutes with Challenge 2.
