Krafty Karen Stamper: May 2015

I needed to make a masculine birthday card; so I used this week's Try Stamping on Tuesday TSOT sketch challenge #220.

Here's the card I created:

Stamp Set: Moon Lake

Cardstock: Confetti Cream, Early Espresso, Old Olive and Traditional Camo dsp (Reminisce)

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Lost Lagoon, and Old Olive markers

Accessories: 1-1/8" hole punch, antique copper mini brads, dimensionals

Today is my sister-in-law, Rhonda, birthday. I took my inspiration from last week's Pals Paper Arts sketch challenge PPA252. Here's the sketch:

My western themed card:

Stamp Set: Yee-Haw

Cardstock: Crumb Cake and Cowboy dsp (K & Company)

Ink: Midnight Muse

Accessories: rope twine, 1" circle punch, dimensionals and glue dots

I decided to use the sketch challenge from Try Stamping on Tuesday (TSOT) 217.

I made a few modifications to the sketch change the square card to a standard one. Here's what I came up with:

Stamp Set: Painted Petals

Cardstock: Blackberry Bliss, Whisper White, and Painted Blooms dsp

Ink: Blackberry Bliss and Wild Wasabi

Accessories: Big Shot, multipurpose platform, circles collection framelits, rhinestones, sponge, and dimensionals

Tip: to save cardstock, I die cut one of the circles from the Blackberry Bliss layer which was then layer over by the designer series paper.
