Fight Like A Girl - SCC2 Week 1 Day 2

For today's SCC card, I wanted to try Jennifer's technique of multi-inking with masking.  Right away I saw a stamp set I received last year from A-Muse Studio to "Stamp Out Breast Cancer".  Then I grabbed this fun paper from Pink Paislee from the "She Art" collection.

Originally I stamped some ribbons in yellow, orange and dark pink along the left on the white cardstock.  I really didn't like the way it turned out.  I used a Martha Stewart punch and then colored in my "stripes".

You Make Me Smile - SCC2 Week 1 Day 1

I created this card for Online Card Classes: Summer Card Camp 2.  I love that the designers gave us both a color inspiration and sketches.  The paper is My Minds' Eye and the stamps are Stampin Up.  I used Hero Arts Soft Pool Shadow Ink for the background.  

I was so excited to hear that the Orange card was top 3 pick over at Stuck on U Sketches!  They do challenges which will work for cards or layouts.  Go check them out, it's fun to play along.  http://stuckonusketches.blogspot.com

"Orange" You Sweet

Recently I went to a conference in Florida and brought back some oranges for my employees.  I made them each a card also.  This was done completely with the Silhouette Cameo.  The card also doubles as a submission to "Stuck On You Sketches" Switch-A-Roo challenge in which the "O" is switched out for the orange.

Today I did a quick card for the Big Idea Festival Day 1 Challenge.  The "Big Idea" was to Make Someone's Day by writing and mailing an actual note written with an actual pen.  My own spin was to use embellishments I already had done.  When I have leftovers from projects or playing with new stuff, I put  them in the accordian file shown here.  For this card I rifled through my stash and I also grabbed a pre-made card base from My Mind's Eye - love those things.  

This is a card I made for the "Who's the Boss?" challenge over at the Hero Arts Blog. The background is kraft paper dry embossed with a woodgrain pattern then painted with Twinkling H2O's.  The Hero Arts "Small Metal Fourish" was heat embossed with Zing metallic copper.  The background covered with Twinkling H2O's also.  Finally the leaves were die cut / embossed with Spellbinders' "Assorted Leaves" and Twinkling H2O's makes an appearance yet again!  Before "twinkling" I emphasized the veins of the leaves with a gold uniball pen.
