Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Girly and SugarPea Designs SugarSketch # 36...Take Note

Hello stampin' friends! I am back with a SugarPea Designs card that I made for the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Girly and the SPD SugarSketch # 36! You still have time to join us! You have until January -25th at 8 AM CDT to share your girly creations with us!

The LEAD of this challenge will be invited to be a guest designer in an upcoming challenge!

A few of the Curtain Call Crew gals are here to provide some more inspiration for you!

I followed the SugarPea Designs SugarSketch # 36 and substituted the large circle with the Notebook Journal Card Sugar Cuts and took a few other liberties with the sketch but I think it still works ;)

I used a Teresa Collins 6X6 Family Stories paper pad from my stash and inked up this sweet little girl from the SugarPea Designs Take Note Stamp set. I coloured her with my Copics, paper pieced her dress and fussy cut her out and popped her up on the Notebook Journal Card.   I stamped a sentiment from the Take Note Stamp set on the pierced fishtail flag from the Gift Tag Sugar Cuts and layered it over the smallest circle from the Zig Zag Stitched Circle Sugar Cuts. I also die-cut the cute little paper clip from Notebook Journal Card Sugar Cuts. I embellished with a sprinkling of Your Next Stamp Gumdrops and some Hemp cord.  I finished off the inside of my card too...stamping a shadow image of the SPD Take Note girl in MFT Steel Hybrid Ink and stamping another sentiment from the Take Note Stamp set.
Thanks SO much for stopping by and havin' a wee peek at my card with the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge and SPD SugarSketch #36. Remember there is still time to join us! I can't wait to see your girly creations.   Be sure to stop back on January 31st for the Lead and Show Stoppers from this challenge.
Then come back on February 1st for the next challenge!

SugarPea Designs...SPDSS#30 & CQC#308...Hello Baby!

Hello stampin' friends! It's been SO long since I've made a card or blogged. I had a great summer and enjoyed the crafty and blogging break! We went to Disney World again and this time we thought we should take the kids ;) It was a magical time!

Have you checked out Periscope?! I've really enjoyed watching Periscope broadcasts by many of my crafty friends. It seemed much less intimidating than making a YouTube video, so, I thought I would give it a try. I attempted by very first Periscope yesterday....sadly it was a major fail, lol! I didn't anticipate the technical difficulties that I encountered. My plan was to share a sneak peek of this card and a little tour of my craft-room. The connection was poor and I had to make several videos. Unfortunately, I don't think any of them worked out well and not sure what folks were able to see/hear. I'll have to try and muster up the courage to try it again but only after I figure out how to improve my WiFi signal strength.

I needed to whip up a very special card for my new wee nephew. I'm super excited to be an Auntie for the very first time. This is such a wonderful and special time for my brother and his wife and for the whole family! Since I haven't made a card in a while I desperately needed a little inspirational boost and was happy to find this fabulous Sugar Sketch - #SPDSS30 to follow.

Once I had the Sugar Sketch to work with, I went looking for a colour combo. This pretty colour combo that they have over at  ColourQ - #CQC308 was perfect! I used MFT Heavyweight Cardstock in Grout Grey, Fuse Green, Sno Cone, Sweet Tooth and the dark teal is Recollections Cardstock.  

I used a mix of 6X6 BasicGrey papers from J'Adore and Mon Ami for this card. I knew I wanted to ink up this sweet little elephant from the SugarPea Designs Tons of Fun Stamp set. I coloured him with my Copics, cut him out and popped him up on the Notebook Journal Card. 

 I also used several SugarCuts on this card....the Notebook Journal Card, the fishtail banner is from the Gift Tag SugarCuts, the Zig Zag Stitched Circles SugarCuts and the little heart is from the Layered Treat Label SugarCuts. The sentiment is from the SugarPea Designs Tweet Friend Stamp set. Finally,  I tied a Hemp Twine bow around the pierced fishtail banner and a sprinkling of  White YNS Gumdrops.      

As always, I finished the inside of the card...I used the Notebook Journal Card SugarCuts and the Layered Treat Label SugarCuts and stamped a sentiment from the Tons of Fun Stamp set. 

Thanks SO much for stopping by and havin' a wee peek at my SugarPea Designs and BasicGrey baby card with the Sugar Sketch #30 and ColourQ Challenge # 308.

SugarPea Designs...SPD SugarSketch # 3 & CTD291...Under the Weather?

Hello stampin' friends! It is time for a another SWEET sketch over at SugarPea Designs and the sketch they have is FABULOUS! I had to ink up this super cute image from the NEW May release....Hello, Sunshine Stamp set!

This is such a great sketch and made my card come together SO quickly!!!

I went looking for some colour inspiration for my card and found this great combo over at the Color Throwdown # 291. I used MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card Stock in 

Sweet Tooth, Night Shift Blue, Blu Raspberry and Sour Apple

I inked up the Hello, Sunshine Stamp set and coloured the sweet girl with my Copics and cut the image out with my Circles STAX Die-namics. I left the image in the die and inked with Tumble Glassed Distress ink. I stamped a sentiment from the Hello, Sunshine Stamp set on a tag in Night Shift Blue Premium Dye Ink. I warped some green Hemp cord around the card and added a Night Shift Blue button and embellished with a sprinkling of Sparkly Lime Green Gumdrops.  

I finished off the inside too....I stamped another sentiment from the Hello, Sunshine Stamp set. 

Thanks So much for stopping by and having a little look at my card with SugarSketch # 3 and for the Color Throwdown # 291!
