PDE design team Challenge #32: "Around the Farm"

Welcome back to another Pause Dream Enjoy challenge!!  This week is all about the farm!!  I spent a great portion of my childhood growing up in Wisconsin however it was not on a farm.  I did have a few friends who grew up on dairy farms so I have a bit of understanding of what farm life is like:-)  I have wanted to make a pop up slider card for some time now.  I have seen so many amazing ones recently.  I used a cutting file from Birds Cards for the base of my card.  The cow stamp is from Market Street Stamps.  I inked the edges of my card with Tim Holtz tea dye distress ink.  I used my Bic markers to add some color to the cow.  The sentiments are from My Pink Stamper and Scrappy Moms.    

This week our challenge is sponsored by Clear Dollar Stamps and one person will receive a $5.00 gift certificate to their store.  

You have until noon EST Thursday, August 16th to enter your project for this project.  Link up your project here.

Market Street "Block Party"

I heard about the block party from a fellow blogger and decided to check it out.  I had heard of Market Street stamps but I don't own any and had never even visited their website before.  I am glad I did.  They have a great selection of stamps!!  For my entry in the block party I used their digi stamp which was provided at the block party for those of us who don't own any of their stamps.  I traced and cut the image out on my Silhouette Cameo.  I also made a shadow of the image and cut that too.  I used my Bic Mark Its to color it in (I may have to save up and get copics one day:-)  I also added a 3d flower embellishment that is a cut file from Lori Whitlock.  This is one of my first 3d flowers ever and I am hooked!!  I ran the flower pieces through my cuttlebug and then with some perfect pearls mist.  The sentiments are from Scrappy Moms and My Pink Stamper.    Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you visit again soon:-)

Reindeer Christmas Card

I made this card specifically for the Pumpkin Spice Shop Design Team Call.  I had this card idea in my head ever since I went through my Christmas paper stash and rediscovered this piece of paper from My Mind's Eye "Believe" paper pack.  I also used some Doodlebug Christmas twine and a Christmas stamp from My Pink Stamper. 

This paper makes me smile:-)  I made another card with this paper too and really enjoyed how they both turned out. 

You can see more details about this card on this post.

Inking It Up Crazy Design Team Project - "Fun Fold Card"

This week Kassidy challenged her design team to try a new card fold for our project.  I decided to try a side step card and followed the tutorial over at Splitcoaststampers.  The card itself is not too difficult to make but the decorating of it was a bit more time consuming.  However, I feel it was time well spent (it is afterall my "therapy" time:-) and I am quite pleased with the end result.  All of my cuts are from Simply Charmed and I used a stamp from My Pink Stamper.  The designer paper is from last year's Target dollar bin paper.  I embellished it with Christmas twine from Doodlebug and some bling.

Don't forget to head over to Kassidy's blog to see the rest of the design team's projects.  Also, challenge yourself to try a new card fold - it is always fun to try something new and creatively satisfying too:-)

My Pink Stamper Design Team Entry

Robyn, My Pink Stamper , is having openings for a few new designers to join her design team.  I have been following Robyn for 3 years now and have learned loads from her great videos!!  I own a few of her stamp sets and love the quality of these stamps.  I find it quite intimidating to try out for a spot on her team because she has had some amazing talent on her team but I am up to the challenge to grow in my skills so here we go. . .

Robyn challenged us to make a project using our cricut and the colors orange, turquoise, green, brown and an optional other color - I used yellow. 

I used my Gypsy to put this card together.  I used the tree from Create A Critter and welded it to a square from George to create the front of the card.  I then cut it out in white to put on the inside of the card creating an area to write on.  The sun is from Doodlecharms.  I stamped the clouds with a stamp from Close to my Heart and then used stickles on the stamped images.  I cut the grass out using my wavy trimmer from Creative Memories.  I inked the edges of my images to help them stand out more.  All the paper is from Recollections from Michaels.  The orange gems are also from Michaels. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Square Frog Card - Fantabulous Cricut Challenge

This is a 5x5 card.  Not a shape I do very often and larger than most cards I do.  I tend to stick with A2 sized cards.  I made this for a friend's birthday coming up.  She loves frogs and hopefully will not be offended by the "toad" reference in the sentiment, LOL:-)   I think I will enter this one in the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge going on this week.

FCCB shape card challenge

Used create a critter to make this one.  Next time I would make it bigger so that it would fit into an A2 sized envelope.  This one is just slightly smaller.
