Summer Card Camp-Week 3

Hey scrappers. I'm in week 3 of summer card camp and I have a fun card to share with you today. I actually created this card for camp and also Papertrey Ink's 'Make It Monday'. The challenge at PTI was to include a pocket on the front of a card.

Here is this week's color combo:


To create my pocket I simply sewed 2 pieces of paper together. I also used a scallop edger punch on my pocket. I used clear embossing powder to create the stripe background.


To create the star embellishment's I stamped a star image onto a piece of paper using red ink and then cut them out with my scissors. Then I added a button to the center and stitched it to the paper.

Summer Card Camp-Week 2

Hey scrappers! Two posts in one day, pretty amazing right?! If you're looking for my Sassy Lady design team post click here. I'm back this afternoon to share my card for week 2 of summer card camp. I'm having fun seeing all the amazing talent of the designers. At first glance I thought this color combo would be pretty simple, but I'm discovering that really sticking to the 5 colors can be challenging. We are able to use neutral colors like white, brown, black on our cards as needed.

Onto the card...here is this weeks color combo


I decided to use a colored image again this week. And let me just say that I'm still pretty new to the Copic world, and I still have a lot to learn. This is also the first time I've colored an animal and I don't quite have the texture part of it down, but I think he turned out pretty cute anyway.


I used the same technique I did last week of heat embossing a background stamp and applying ink after. This time I used 3 different colors of ink and I think the end result is really cool.

Details

• Cardstock: Papertrey Ink and X-press It (Copic image)
• Pattern Paper: October Afternoon "Fly A Kite"
• Ink: Jenni Bowlin
• Tag Die: Papertrey Ink
• Twine: Papertrey Ink
• Stamp: Stampendous "Dream"
• Digital Image: Some Odd Girl "Tweet"
  
• Embossing Powder: Stampendous (white)
• Glossy Accents
• Copic Markers

Thanks for stopping by, I always love comments. See you soon.

Summer Card Camp-Week 1 card #2

Hey scrappers, here is card #2 for the first week of camp card challenge. I mentioned in the previous post that I was working on another card, well this isn't it. Lol. I had these images stamped and figured why not give the color combo another try. Do I love the pink and purple, not really, but overall I like the card. Does that make sense?

I tried a new technique on this card. I embossed the polka dot stamp with white embossing powder, and then applied the ink over that. It looks a lot more dimensional in real life.

Details

• Stamps: October Afternoon
• Copic paper: X-press It
• Cardstock: Papertrey Ink
• Twine: The Twinery
  

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend and a safe 4th of July!

Summer Card Camp-Week 1

Hey scrappers! Wow, it's been a while, I hope you are all enjoying summer! I'm taking this awesome Summer Card Camp with Kristina Werner and Jennifer McGuire, two incredibly talented ladies. I'm really looking forward to all the fun they have in store for us, and of course all the great tips and techniques they're going to share.

Below is the color combination for the first week...pink AND purple, yikes! For those of you who have spent time on my blog know those are two colors I don't use very often, especially not at the same time. Well, I didn't actually use both in the first card I created, bad girl I know. I did create a second card, but it's not quite finished yet. I'll share it if I can figure out how to make it work for me, lol!


I colored another fantastic image from The Greeting Farm "Creeper Crew". Isn't she sassy?!
