Summer Card Camp 2--Week #1

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are having a great week!  I have been truly enjoying Summer Card Camp 2, reading and watching all the great videos!  Here are my first cards--I used the colors of the week, and Sketch #1.

It's Birthday Time!

I'm continuing with my theme from the Pre-Class Challenge, putting together a trio of two cards/tag.  I really liked how Jennifer made the banner open and how she stamped the text on the diagonal along the sides of the banner, so I tried it out myself.

Here is the main birthday card--with little pirates for little boys:

And the mini card and tag, for a gift bag or present:

Stamps:  Tiny and Tremendous Treats: Birthday (PTI)

Cardstock:  Harvest Gold, Orange Zest, Pure Poppy, Hawaiian Shores, Stampers Select White (PTI)

Ink:  Coastal Cabana (SU), Tuxedo Black (Memento)

Misc:  Copic Markers, Ribbon

Thanks so much for stopping by--have a wonderful weekend!

Summer Card Camp 2--Pre Class Challenge #1

Hello Everyone,

Once again, I am barely making it by the deadline--but at least I made it!  I am so excited to be participating in the Online Card Classes Summer Card Camp 2. I did #1 two years ago and just loved it, and am ready for #2!

Class starts tomorrow, but there were two Pre-Class Challenges--a color combo and a sketch.  I had a great idea for the color combo:

I made this trio--a 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 in card, a 2 3/4 in square card, and a tag--I often make up gift packages of cards for Christmas, and I think this would be great to include!

Here are the individual cards:

Happy Birthday!

And the mini card and tag:

It doesn't look like you can see it in these pictures, but the frosting on each of the cupcakes has a layer of Glossy Effects on it to make it shine :).

Stamps:  Tiny and Tremendous Treats, Birthday and Valentine (PTI)
Cardstock:  SU, PTI
Patterned Paper:  SU
Misc.:  Glitter, Glossy Effects, Copics, Ribbon

Now I didn't have time for Pre-Challenge #2--but my daughter did!  Here is her card:

It's Birthday Time!

Stamps:  Tremendous Treats Birthday (PTI)

Cardstock:  PTI

Ink:  Memento

Misc.  Markers, Chalk Ink

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Hope to see you tomorrow in camp!

The Alley Way Stamps Be Inspired Challenge 31

Hello Everyone,

I have been wanting to post this card since last week . . .  so better late than never!  I played along with the TAWS Be Inspired Challenge 31, which used this photo inspiration:

Most people seemed to see lots of red and blue . . . for some reason I saw more of a berry sorbet and a hawaiian shores in terms of colors!  So here is my card:

Hey Cupcake

Stamps:  Hey Cupcake (TAWS)

Ink:  Rich Cocoa (Memento)

Cardstock:  Berry Sorbet, Hawaiian Shores, Vintage Cream (PTI)

Patterned Paper:  MME

Misc:  Stickles, Copics

Thanks so much for stopping by--hope you have a great 4th!
