My Hero for Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge this week

One of my crafty goals for this year is to send more cards to people I love NOT for occasions. So this is for my dad. He should actually be getting it in the mail today. And it's just right for Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge this week. it's an:

I've used the Paper Smooches Pinked Circles in two sizes and Images from Super that I colored in with copic markers, I hand cut the banner in the corner and the paper and sticker were in my stash from last year sometime.

Thanks for stopping by!

Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge ending March 1

I'm playing along with Paper Smooches Sparks this week!

And it's a Designer Drafts Challenge!

Here's the Draft (2ways!)

And here is my take on it.

I used the new Hooties Clear Stamps that Paper Smooches had in their last release.

I used all papers from Chickaniddy Crafts Date Night 6x6 paper pad and I broke out my Jenni Bowlin Inks for Stamping the images. The cloud was already on that little piece of paper. I intentionally offset everything because I liked the look of left heavy on the sketch. I inked every image up with Weathered Wood distress ink. I haven't done this kind of inking in a while AND I pulled out my corner chomper for the bottom edge of the card. I spent longer on this card than I usually do, but I needed to get creative this morning and it was so much FUN to use some NEW stamps with some products I have really been enjoying lately. I LOVE these little owls and I used a ton of foam adhesive to make multiple layers on my card. Thanks so much for looking!

Paper Smooches Feb 2-9 Anything Goes Challenge

I received the Spectrum Set of Stamps this week from Paper Smooches and had a fun little quick coloring session with them. I pulled out the little scraps of paper and stickers from my Scrapbook Circle scraps from the October kit So Happy Together (these were still available when I checked last and are SO LOVELY!!!) So I cut out my little unicorn and threw together this cute little card. It's also good for anytime.

OH... I got the Metropolis stamp set when I purchased the Spectrum set because I wanted this little moon and stars for my unicorn. There's other tiny stamps I want to use to make unicorns as well... so if you are a pony fan... I reccommend buying these two together ;).

So this is my entry into this week's challenge. I LOVE it!

Paper Smooches Designer Draft Challenge Ending Feb 1, 2014

Ok, so I was really inspired both by the colors and papers in my Scrapbook Circle Kit for January and the Paper Smooches Designer Draft Challenge for this week to create some cards. I'll start with the one I'm entering in the challenge as I actually used the sketch for this one.

The Printed Paper is from the Crate Paper Love Notes 6x6 pad, there is some vellum tape by Basic Grey and a chipboard Piece from October Afternoon's Daily Flash set. The doily is random from my stash and the stamp is from one of my trusty favorites from Paper Smooches and that is the Chit Chat set (it was also one of my first PS purchases and I'm STILL using it!!!) The heart shape is from the same paper pad and was cut with my Silhouette. This is kind of a big card, coming in at 6x6 but I love all the color. That cardstock was included as part of my Add-on from Scrapbook Circle and I don't know what kind it is but that color was just so fresh and lovely.

Thanks so much for looking, I think maybe you can tell that my card started as a mini card. It was going to be 4x3 but I just kept putting things under it... so the basic idea of the sketch is still represented. 

Let me know what you think of my take on this.

Hugs!
