Hand Stamped Sentiments - Banner Bash #81

The challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments this week is to feature banners (using a pennant shape).  I kinda did some out of the box thinking on this one and used the pennant shapes from the Pennant Die as the leaves for the flower door hanger that I created.  The flower idea came from Lee Conrey using the Flower Folds Die.  I used Bashful Blue with Wisteria Wonder sponged on the edges. The pennant die used for the leaves is Certainly Celery CS sponged with Always Artichoke ink.  If you'd like to purchase any of the supplies used in this project, please email me at sherrysinknstamps@yahoo.com I'd love to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.

Hand Stamped Sentiments - Back To School Challenge #79

Isn't this little guy just the cutest?  I hope you will join me with your creative talents at Hand Stamped Sentiments this week for the Back to School Challenge. Other than the card base (Blushing Bride) and the first layer (Basic Gray), I used scraps to create with (Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry, Bashful Blue, Marina Mist, Very Vanilla).  I used a the Tasteful Trim Die and a few punches, but mostly cut the shapes free hand.  I saw a similar card to this somewhere on the Internet a few months ago.  I hope I did it justice. This would make a really cute scrapbook page also. Hmmmm an idea blossoms!  If you have questions, please email me at sherrysinknstamps@yahoo.com.

Hand Stamped Sentiments - Paper Piecing Challenge #69

 

The Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge Blog is hosting a Paper Piecing theme this week.  I hope you will all join me in submitting a card or project for the challenge.  I dusted off my Dream Garden (current SU IB & C) stamp set. I used various inks for my design (Tempting Turquoise, Concord Crush, Certainly Celery, Rich Razzleberry, So Saffron, Bashful Blue, Night of Navy) Some were stamped, some were painted with the Blender Pen.  I used a scrap of Rich Razzleberry ribbon to add the Obi belt to this Asian beauty. If you'd like to purchase any of the supplies I used on this project, please email me at sherrysinknstamps@yahoo.com.

Birthday Bakery

This is a card I made for my Brother-in-Law.  I used Not Quite Navy and Bashful Blue mounted on Whisper White for the card base.  I stamped the Birthday Bakery (IB &C Hostess Gift) and the Happy Birthday from Bring on the Cake (New Occasions Mini) stamps on Whisper White in Black StazOn and colored it with Stampin' Write markers and a blender pen.  It is finished off with a piece of Marina Mist Satin Ribbon.  If you need any of the supplies I used to create this card with, please email me at sherrysinknstamps@yahoo.com.  I'd love to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.

I've been bakin' a cake!

Well as you can see I have been busy baking already this morning.  No, not really, but this has got to be the best of both worlds as far as cake goes....Loads of layers, lots of frosting (rhinestones), beautiful decorations (Elements of Style Flourish), and just a few candles.  Can you even imagine what would happen if there were 63 candles on this card.....no card left....all burned up!  LOL.  I thought this was a really cute card idea.  It turned out just like it was in my head.  So Happy Birthday to Me! (Doin' the Happy Birthday Dance).

Spring Photo -Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #59

The challange this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments is "Inspired by Nature" showing an outdoor Spring photo.  I actually joined two photos together that I took last May in Sequim, Wa.  I'm not sure what the beautiful flowers are, but they were stunning in real life.  The seagull was also taken on the same trip to Sandi MacIver's Spring Card Event in Sequim. I thought it would be nice to add the blue flowers to the seagull picture because the sky was such a gorgeous blue color.  I used Night of Navy and Bashful Blue CS to mount the pics with.  I added a little fun by using the Scallop Trim Border punch along the edge.  I hope each of you will join me in the challenge this week.  Hop on over to Hand Stamped Sentiments and give it a go! If you need any supplies from Stampin' Up!, please email me at sherrysinknstamps@yahoo.com, I'd love to be your demonstrator.

This is the same seagul, just with different flowers.  These flowers are all over Washington state in abundance. They are just breathtaking.  I used Basic Gray, Melon Mambo and Night of Navy to back these pics.

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge Blog #55

 

I hope each of you will join me this week iin the challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments. This week the challenge is a sketch challenge.  I took the sketch litterly, to me at least.  Yes, it looks like a jeans pocket, but you can use any shape for the pocket that you want.  I used blue monocramatic colors for my card (Bashful Blue, and Not Quite Navy) Don't you just love how the Presto Patterns DSP looks.  I thought the Paris looked like a jenas logo and the flourish (which I think looks like an embroidered design) is from the Sale-a-Bration Stamp Set Bliss.  Wouldn't you just love to rock a pair of awesome jeans like this?  Have fun with the challenge this week.  I'd love to see some of my followers and subscribers join in on the challenge.
