Hippo Birthday

Hello everyone from 
Try Stamping (or Not) on Tuesday.  

The challenge this week is a sketch challenge - see below with embossing.

For my card, I started with a digi stamp from QKR Stampede and I used colored pencils.
I trimmed it down and then used a scalloped circle die from Sizzix.  I then cut another scallop larger to frame out the image.
Following the sketch, I cut a piece of grey, blue and white paper from Recollections.  I cut the flags on the side from light blue and grey cs. I stamped the sentiment with glitter blue embossing powder from Simon Says and then ran faux stitching with a white gel pen.  I tagged them all together with a cream flower metal brad.  The front panel was cut and embossed with a swirl folder from Sizzix and every thing was mounted on a grey side fold base.
So cute.

Here is the sketch for the challenge.

I hope you have fun working with this challenge.

Back 2 School

Hello everyone
from the Design Team of
Try Stampin' or Not on Tuesday

This week we have a Tic Tac Toe  challenge for you for you (see below)

For my card, I went with the diagonal run with school/ die cut/ blue.

I started with a digi stamp image from Bugaloo.  I used both colored pencils and markers for this cute little guy. 

I cut the designer paper from Recollections with a fancy border die from Penny Black.

I mounted that onto dark grey cs front.  

I then used blue and grey twine that I fed a larkshead through the holes of the button and pulled it around the front and anchored it in the back and then I rounded the one corner on the top with my punch.

I mounted the front panel onto white cs top fold base.

Here is the Tic Tac Toe graphic so that you can play along.

Have fun playing along.

Fairy BD Fun

Hello Everyone, this is my design team contribution for

Pattie's Creations

The Theme this month is
"Fairy/Fantasy

The digi stamp is "Fairy Ambia"

 from Pattie's Creations.

Hello, for my card, I started with the image from Pattie's Creations and I used color pencils, glitter pens and markers and a wink of stella on her wings, hair and skirt.  

The background was inked with Distressed Inks: Twisted Citron, Shaded Lilac, Peacock Feathers and the Oxide Inks of Broken China, Wilted Violet and Peeled Paint.  I then ran that through my cricut with a scalloped oval cut. 

I centered the fairy under the cut and stamped the sentiment with silver embossing powder and a MFT stamp on vellum and wrapped that around the front panel.  All was then mounted on a side fold navy cs base.  I added matching paper flowers in the corners.
