DCWV Stack-a-holic Card Sketch Challenge - August 2015

     Thanks for stopping in. Hope your day is off to a good start.
     Today, I have a card for the Stack-a-holic challenge over at DCWV. I used The Good Wood Stack from DCWV to make my card. Some great masculine papers in the stack. I made this card for my stepdad's birthday coming up soon.
     I made the swags with stamps and dies from Our Daily Bread Designs. The 'cherish you' sentiment is from the I Blank You collection from Paper Smooches.
     There is still plenty of time if you want to send a card to the challenge. Here's a copy of the sketch we had to work with and a link to all the rules.

Magazine Monday #111 Challenge

     I created this card for the Magazine Monday #111 challenge at PaperCrafter's Corner.
     When I saw this week's magazine cover with its bold, graphic stripes on the swim suit and sun hat, I immediately thought of this sheet of cardstock from DCWV's Chick Chat Stack. I matted the front panel and the tags with a dark navy blue and added some epoxy dots.

     And, here's a copy of the magazine cover we had for inspiration.

     Hope you have a wonderful day.
     May the Lord be glorified by the work of my hands,

Color Challenge ODBDSLC249

     So happy to have you stop by. Today, I have a card for the color challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs.

     The colors in this week's challenge are my favorite colors to work with. You can find the colors and a link to all the fun below.

     I used the No Words (G515) stamp collection from ODBD for this card. ODBD has some of the best sentiment stamps on the market.

     To make my heart chain, I first ran some cardstock through a crimper. I punched some small hearts from the crimped cardstock. I set the hearts aside for another project. Next, I punched a larger heart right over the negative space of the first heart. After deciding how I wanted my hearts to interlock, I made a cut in each heart and slipped it through the next heart. I hid the cut behind the overlapped heart.

     I used a border punch on the edge of my matting panels and rounded the corners of my purple card base.

     There is still time if you want to come play with us. Details here: http://www.ourdailybreaddesignsblog.blogspot.com/2015/08/odbdslc249-color-challenge.html

     May the Lord be glorified by the work of my hands,
