Last card for a while...

The card I made for the sketch, looks like this:

Thank you for dropping by!!

Once the December kit gets here, I'll get back to more card making if I don't find any more collections I need to kill beforehand. :)

Mojo Monday on a Thursday

The Mojo Monday sketch for this week has a lot of layers... I'm not sure I dig the card I ended up with now that I'm looking at it the next day, but it'll probably grow on me. Lol

My version...

Meh... It just doesn't speak to me... Ah well, sometimes our creations are like that! I can't dwell on it!

Thanks for meh-ing with me. :P

Viva La Verve September Week 1

This sketch was a lot of fun - I really enjoyed the layering it included and thought it to be a good sketch to stick to as close as possible.  The original challenge post can be found here.

I didn't do any stamping on this card, but I used a patterned paper that looked like it was stamped all over for the main focal part of the card. I really liked this patterned paper because the sentiments on it could really turn this card into a good card for a variety of occasions.

Thanks for dropping to check out my take on this sketch! I had a lot of fun with it!!

Yesterday was definitely Mojo Monday :)

And being Mojo Monday, I had to head over to the Mojo Monday challenge blog and create a card based on their sketch #359!

I think I followed the sketch pretty closely, minus where the sentiment is. :)

I don't often do out of the box things on cards since things usually don't end up going in that direction, but THIS time, I went way out to left field and stamped on the cloth trim that came in the Studio Calico card kit with the stamp that also came in the same kit. :)

Then I went over it with one of my 80+ gel pens that I have, to add some emphasis!

Thanks for stopping by!

Colours and Sketches?? Check!

Presenting to you, my entry for the CAS (Colours and Sketches) challenge #87!

Here is my second attempt at a filled gumball machine... 

In my very humble opinion, if I wasn't going to make the sequins move, I think, in hindsight, that I should have bunched them all at the bottom of the candy bowl thing, right?  Well, these here candies are the floating kind. :P Lol

Sketch Saturday card sketch challenge entry

I thought you guys could use seeing some more cards... Just a few more today. LOL

This one is for my entry into the Sketch Saturday challenge #323.

My take on the sketch...

I think this was actually one of the last cards I made last night...  I used a block of one of the papers in the Studio Calico card kit and turned it into my sentiment kind of. :)

Thanks for dropping by!

Fusion Card Challenge entry

The last entry I have from this past weekends' creations is this card as my entry into the Fusion Card challenge!

At first, I was thinking of only using the sketch - HOWEVER, as I started looking at the papers from the card kit from this month, I realized that many of the colours coordinated perfectly when compared to the colour palette in the photo, so that makes this a... FUSION challenge! *ba dum cha*

See?! Aren't the colours just SO appropriate for this card/sketch fusion??!?! :D

Freshly Made in the knick of time!

Good thing I'm getting these entries uploaded today!  This challenge closes in less than an hour of this post being published! LOL

This challenge entry is made for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge #149.

My card made for this challenge goes something like this:

If you happened to see my haul video from this month's kit, you may be aware that I got a sheet of acetate with it. As a result of receiving this acetate, I attempted to make a shaker card... In my opinion it was a #craftfail, but it was also my very first shaker card ever made.

I have a couple more variations of this gumball machine that haven't made it on to cards yet, but this was the first attempt.. /sigh

Thanks for pitying my shaker card attempt. LOL

A CAS(E) challenge entry!

Yep, another post with another card into yet another entry using, yet again, the Studio Calico card kit from this month!

This card is an entry into the CAS(E) card sketch challenge #88.

My version of the sketch goes like this!

I fussy cut the shapes from one of the papers, and adhered it to the black background paper so as to provide a pop of colour to the otherwise quite dark background. The sentiment is taken from a sheet in the paper pad with a white background, and I used it because I liked the contrast. :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Card Made for Retro Sketches Challenge #128

Lots of posts to be had today! Don't mind, I'm just plowing through my Studio Calico card kit for this month since it happens to already be just over a week until reveal night, which means I should be seeing my next kit in a couple weeks! Yikes!

The card that I made for this post was created as an entry into the Retro Sketches challenge over on the Retro Sketches blog!

Using the items in my SC card kit, I came up with something like this!

Now let me tell you how much I'm *not* a fan of sequins... But I am going through the whole kit and nothing but the kit as long as I have supplies to use. LOL

Studio Calico Card Kit done...

I decided that, in order to keep my stash to a minimum, when it comes to my Studio Calico kits, I will be pro-active, use them up and sell what I don't use.

In respect to the card kit, this meant that since I had finished using up the cardstock bases that came with the kit to make 5 or 6 cards - I don't remember, it was time to sell it since there was no longer any cardstock for me to use up.

In the end, I used up all the wooden stars and the cardstock.

I sold the leftover patterned papers (12 sheets), the die, buttons and stamp set. I actually had some leftover ribbon as well, but I forgot to add that to the sale listing and it's already mailed. Oops!

In any case, now I'm moving on the scrapbook kit!

Hopefully I can get through the whole SB kit for Penny Arcade before the August one gets here!

Below are samples of the cards I've made using the SC card kit. :)

I also made a card front (i.e. it has no base), but I haven't taken a photo of that one yet, so it's not included. :)

Mojo Monday Card Sketch Entry

And here it is, ladies and gentlemen: the last of the cards (#3 of 3) that I've made today.

This card was made for the Mojo Monday card challenge #355.

The sketch went a little something like this:

Here is my take on this one!

I thought the print was already so busy so I omitted the banner at the top.

I pulled out some Inka Gold in a red colour in order to colourize the stars around the circle of the sentiment. Since the stars had holes in them, I wanted to cover those up, so I pulled out the smallest bling I could find and put some in the centers of the stars. :)

Cardabilities Challenge Entry

Well here is card #2 of 3 for the day!

It is my entry into the Cardabilities Sketch Challenge #103. :)

The sketch I started with was:

And my entry goes a little something like this:

I used the Studio Calico card kit stamp set to stamp the clouds, then I fussy cut them out a-la-Lawn Fawn die cut style (with a slight white border). I used some of the Studio Calico Project Life paper stuffing to add dimension and texture to the card underneath the clouds.
Threw in some buttons, stamped and layered the sentiment "HI" and fussy cut one of the clouds from the 6x6 paper pad, also from the card making kit.
