The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge

The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge theme is "Any Occasion."

For my card I used the Stampin Up Wonderful Romance stamps and dies.  I die cut the center of the layering panel with a recangle die to create an opening and then layered the die cuts around the opening and stamped the sentiment inside the cutout.  The die cuts were trimmed around the outside edges of the layering panel.

We hope you'll share your "any occasion" cards with us at The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge found Here.

The PIP Challenge #1925

This week's PIP Challenge is sponsored by The Cutting Cafe.  For my project I used the 3D card envelope.

I fussy cut the 3D card envelope pattern and added designer paper to the front and back along with a border of rub-ons.  I created a ribbon band to hold the flap closed.  The insert photo shows the band removed and the envelope stuffed with tissue paper.  The 3D envelope could hold a gift card and/or small gift.

We hope you'll share your cards/projects with us this week at The PIP Challenge #1925.

For my card I used the Tree A1 Owl - Createful Heart image provided by the sponsor.  The scraps I used were cut at 2 inches and layered over a scrap from my stash already cut at as a layering panel.  The butterfly was found on my craft table so it became an embellishment to complete my card.  I colored the image using Polychromos pencils and gamsol.

We hope you'll use some scraps and share your projects with us at The Paper A La Mode Challenge.

Sparkles Monthly Challenge

The Sparkles Monthly Challenge theme is "no patterned paper."

The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge - Three B's

The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge theme is Three B's - Birds, Butterflies, Bees.  Use one of these or all three!

For my card I used the Stampin Up Wonderful Romance stamp set and dies.  The die cut images were colored using Bianyo markers and then layered onto a die cut panel and trimmed around the edges of the panel.  The butterfly is punched from a Stampin Up butterfly punch.
