Try Stampin' - Or Not - On Tuesday #302

Hello again! I am back with my second post of the day. If you are looking for my Sketch N Scrap reveal please scroll down or go here.

Try Stampin' - Or Not - On  Tuesday has a new card sketch posted today. This great sketch is courtesy of LeAnne, and our optional theme this week is "snowflakes".

For this card I used up some of my scraps from Echo Park's "I Love Winter" collection. I pulled out an old EK Success punch for the snowflakes and added in just a little bit of bling to the center of each one. The "Let It Snow" sentiment is from a Studio G $1 bin stamp set.

Head on over to the Try Stampin' blog to see the lovely cards from the rest of the design team. You have 2 weeks to play along and you can enter either on the blog or on our Facebook page here.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a great day!

Paper Play Sketches #26

Hello, hello! Here we are at the middle of the week already! Christmas is getting closer all the time, and I still have a lot to do!

Wednesday means there is a new sketch posted at Paper Play Sketches!

For my card I once again used Echo Park's - I Love Winter - 6x6 paper pad, and the penguin piece is from the ephemera pack. I added a pinked circle underneath the penguin to help it stand out a little better from the background. I also added just a bit of foam tape to give it a little bit of dimension.

The "Let It Snow" sentiment is from another old Studio G $1 bin stamp set. I have had these little stamp sets in my stash for years, and this is the first time I have inked this one up!

I had picked up a package of these itty bitty snowflake buttons and they were the perfect little embellishment for this card!

Head on over to Paper Play Sketches to see the lovely cards from the rest of the design team. I know this is a busy time of year, but I do hope you get a chance to play along!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #190

Hello everyone! Good Tuesday morning to you! I hope you are having a good week so far.

This week's sketch has been posted over on the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog, and I am here to share my take on it with you.

Here is the sketch:

I used Echo Park's - I Love Winter - 6x6 paper pad for this card. I always love Echo Park's winter themed collections. Their colors/patterns are some of my favorites. 

The snowflakes were cut using My Favorite Things - Let It Snowflake - dies. I first tried laying the snowflakes directly on the background paper, but they seemed to get lost amongst the swirls. I layered them on top of a dark blue circle, and I like the much better.

The sentiment is from an old Studio G $1 bin stamp set. I added in a bit of sparkle with some bling, but it looks more like little silver balls in the photo!

The full design team reveal will be up on the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog tomorrow, along with last week's Top 3. Be sure to stop by and see the beautiful cards from the rest of the team.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a great day!
