DTGD15cook22 Blessed Christmas

Hi Stampers!!

Even though the official 2015 Dare to Get Dirty Challenge is now over, I wanted to share another card that I created as a sample maker for my good friend, Sabrina’s DTGD15cook22 Challenge (*** FYI- you can still create cards throughout the year and link to the challenges although the official challenge is over and you would not be eligible for the drawing for the vendor prizes *** :-))

As I mentioned in my previous posts, Dare to Get Dirty is an annual event that allows the Splitcoaststampers’ Fan Club members to participate in several challenges hosted by the Dirty Dozen Girls (current and alumni, like me) in creating cards but also the possibility to receive prizes from the member companies.

Inside  of card :-)

Again, one major rule of participation in the Dare To Get Dirty Challenges is that the actual challenge details are secret to all except the Fan Club Members…I can share the card but not the details on the actual challenge (unfortunately, any details on this card will reveal the challenge details, so if you have any questions, please let me know in the comment area).  

I am also linking this card to the Splitcoaststampers’ Challenges- MIX110 “Pop It Up”, TLC522 “Pop Up Diorama”, F4A270 “Mad for Gingham”, WT528 “Inside and Out” along with one of my Christmas card designs for the CCC15 Challenge.

FYI- While I had a great time creating this card, I will not be making multiples of this card since it was a bit time consuming :-)

You're A Hoot- A CAS card with "Kissing" :-)

Hi Stampers!!

I have been having fun creating cards this past weekend and decided to create one more card using the CASology #157 “Wings” theme along with the Just Add Ink #273 Color Challenge, As You See It #98 Sketch Challenge and the Splitcoaststampers' WT538 Sequins Challenge (see details here and gallery here).

Again, if you have not already done so, I hope you will find the time to visit the above challenge sites to check out the wonderful Design Team samples as well as the inspiration from their galleries!

To create this card:

Ink the owl image from the Lawn Fawn set, You’re A Hoot with Blackberry Classic Ink, the branch image with Crumb Cake Classic Ink, the leaves with Bermuda Bay Classic Ink and stamp all of the images onto Whisper White cardstock. 

Use the Big Shot™ with the Lawn Fawn You’re A Hoot coordinating dies to cut out the images.

Ink the crosshatch stamp from You’ve Got This with Smoky Slate Classic Ink and stamp onto the Positively Chevron background stamp, “huff” to re-moisten the ink on the background stamp and stamp onto a Whisper White cardstock panel (this technique is called “Kissing”- love that technique name :-))

Stamp the sentiment with Blackberry Bliss Classic Ink, trim the panel and mount onto a piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock, trim and mount onto Blackberry Bliss cardstock and trim once more to mount onto the Bermuda Bay card base.

Adhere a bit of looped Natural Linen thread and the leaves to the card front, mount the owl and branch using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

Add a few Bermuda Bay Sequins to finish off the card.

Stamp Sets:  Stampin’ Up!- Positively Chevron (retired), You’ve Got This; Lawn Fawn-  You’re A Hoot

Ink:  Blackberry Bliss, Bermuda Bay, Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate

Paper: Whisper White, Blackberry Bliss, Bermuda Bay

Accessories: Big Shot™, Lawn Fawn You’re A Hoot dies, Natural Linen Thread, Bermuda Bay Sequins

Thanks again for visiting- I hope all of you have a wonderful Monday!!
