Pun Fun Easel Card!

Good sunny Thursday morning all!  I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!  One more day until the weekend, woohoo!  Around here this weekend it is supposed to be above freezing and sunny, yeah!  I have for you today an easel card(I got the pattern from Heather's blog.  It was fun to put together!

Colors:  so saffron, rose red, pumpkin pie, taken with teal, old olive

Accessories:  designer button-sherbert, Sweet Pea designer series paper, aqua painters, wide oval punch, scallop oval punch, small oval punch, taken with teal marker

Stamp set:  Pun Fun, Happy Moments(SAB-greeting)

So how did this go together you ask??  You will only need one sheet of cardstock for your base, thanks Heather for the pattern!!  Cut your base 12x4" and score at 4", 6", 8".  You can see from the picture how it will sit(I used a bit of adhesive on the back side of the front).  On my old olive cardstock and dsp I used the Cutter Kit(I call it the edge shredder!) but you can also use your finger nail or bone folder for a similar effect.  I watercolored my whale using my inks and the aqua painters on Naturals White cardstock.  I stamped my whale with StazOn black which is perfect for watercoloring!!  Colors used for watercoloring:  pretty in pink, rose red, taken with teal, bashful blue(sky).  I edged my waves and the waterspout with the taken with teal marker.  

After punching the scallop oval I used my stampin' sponge and pumpkin pie ink to color the edges.    I hope everyone has a very wonderful day and I'll "see" you tomorrow!! 

Weekend Sketch Challenge- a little twist!

Happy Tuesday everyone!  I am back with Gretchen Barron's Weekend Sketch Challenge!  Again I threw in a little twist, a Top Note die Box.  I hope you like!!

Here is what it looks like on the inside.

And a side view

Colors:  pretty in pink, real red, chocolate chip, kraft

Accessories:  chocolate chip satin ribbon, Sweet Pea dsp, build a brad-antique brass, Big Shot with the Top Note die, Scallop Trim edge punch(available in the Sale-a-Bration mini), stampin write markers in pretty in pink, real red, basic blak and old olive, 1/2" circle punch

Stamp set:  Love You Much

I got this idea from my sister!  It is so cute!!  To make the top and base of the box I used the cardboard from the dsp packages and cut it to fit the top note die.  Then, using a glue stick, I attached the real red textured cardstock to the top and the kraft to the bottom.  After it dried I ran it through the Big Shot.  For my side decoration I made my strips of chocolate chip, edged it with the Scallop Trim punch, and my dsp from the Sweet Pea pack.  I adhered them and ran them through the Big Shot as well.  Oh, and I aged everything on this project using my creamy caramel ink pad and a stampin' sponge!!  Let me know what you think!  Have a great day!
 
 
 

Quick Picture Holder!

Good evening everyone!  Late post today I know.  I want to first of all say a BIG Thank you to everyone's great comments on my recipe book, hopefully I will post the insides tomorrow!  Today's project is a simple one.  I love to do something with the kids school pictures for family and friends and this is this year's version!  I hope you enjoy.

 

Colors:  taken with teal, old olive, pumpkin pie, chocolate chip

Accessories:  Sweet Pea designer series paper, sticky strip

This was easy to assemble!  I used 2 sheets of 8-1/2"x11" chocolate chip card stock, cut at 5-1/2"(normal card size).  Then I scored each at 4" and 8" leaving me a 1/2" strip for adhesive.  I cut the dsp and whisper white cs at 3-3/4"x5-1/4".  For assembly:  place your sticky strip along your flap on each of your 4 pieces of chocolate chip.  Then just attach all of the pieces together.  I put a little sticky strip on the inside as well to hold it into shape(top picture).  

Have a great evening!
