Wicked Wednesday...mmm...Thursday!

Yes, it's my Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge Blog post, and, yes, I know it's Thursday!  May I just say that the first week of school has been somewhat hectic and we'll leave it at that!  So, this week our sponsor is DRS Designs and with some beautiful blooms!  I've used Broken Flower Fence for my ATC.  There was just something about this little desert scene that took me back to when I lived in Colorado.  Some of the prettiest skies I've ever seen were there.  I tried to bring the colors from my memory into this little card, from the soft clay color of the dirt to the lavender and blue sky I marveled over most sunrises and sunsets.  I was truly blessed to live there and take in so much natural beauty!

Here's what I used to create this ATC:

DRS Designs® Broken Flower Fence

Stampendous® Baby Balloon PC™S - Sentiment

Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink Pad

Spectrum Noir™ Markers

Neenah® Classic Crest™ Solar White

Bazzill® Cardstock

May Arts Ribbon® - Natural String Burlap Ribbon

Beacon® Adhesive Zip Dry™

Here's what I did to create this ATC:

Stamp image, color and trim to desired size

Stamp sentiment in upper right corner of image

Trim base to ATC size

Adhere image to base

Wrap ribbon around bottom of card multiple times, trim and tie bow

So, that's my ATC for this week, we would love for you to play along with us.  Let us see your beautiful blooms!  Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you again tomorrow with a Stampendous post! Have a blessed day!

Hugs,

Lea

An "August" Occasion

As we are heading towards back-to-school again, it is only appropriate that we break out our dictionary for this month's Dreamweaver challenge..."AUGUST as an ADJECTIVE"! 

 

Merriam-Webster defines august as, "marked by majestic dignity or grandeur", with synonyms such as, "dignified, distinguished, imposing, portly, solemn, staid, and stately". Now, I don't know just how dignified and stately the Dream Team can become for an entire month, but we are all going to give it a try! How about trying along with us, and linking YOUR creations to the inlinkz tool below for a chance to win the wildest stencil design your little heart is screaming for. 

Here's my creation for this week:

The other night I was looking at a stencil package and thought to myself, "I really like Dreamweaver's packaging with the navy blue and silver."  I also like the extra piece of blue paper that is sometimes in the middle and it occurred to me that I could use that piece of paper on a card.  So, I decided to use the Dreamweaver color scheme with a piece of Dreamweaver packaging to create my Dreamweaver card!!  I just added a pop of red to go with it!  I love the color combo!

Here's what I used to create this card:

Dreamweaver Stencils LX 7014 Daisy background

Dreamweaver Stencils Silver Metallic Paste

Dreamweaver Stencils Packaging Paper

Bazzill Cardstock in Red

May Arts Ribbon

Queen & Co. Rhinestones

Beacon Adhesive Zip Dry

Here's what I did to create this card

Remove extra paper from stencil packaging (or just use navy blue cardstock)

Tape stencil to blue paper and paste emboss with metallic silver paste, set aside to dry

Once paste has dried, trim to desired size

Create card base for standard A-2 card

Create bow with tails long enough to wrap around to back of stenciled piece

Adhere ribbon/bow to card

Adhere pasted paper to card base

Attach rhinestones to flower centers

I hope you've enjoyed my card today!  I had fun creating it for you.  So, put on a straight face for the "A" team this week:

Stampendous to the Core('dinations)!

 Welcome to another week long collaboration! This week we're playing with Core'dinations' gorgeous papers! They always make a project pop with the addition of so much texture! Plus, they're just plain yummy colors! We love the way you can sand the papers to allow the coordinating color core show through.   I have a lot, whole LOT, of paper in my craft room.  Even saying "whole lot" seems like a huge understatement!  Still, one of my all-time favorite papers to create with is Core'dinations!   Here's my card for today:

When I saw this embossing folder, I knew I had to use it with the PenPatttern Flower stamp.  Aren't they perfect together?!

Here's what I used to create this card:

Stampendous® PenPattern Flower
Stampendous® Angel Wings Quotes Perfectly Clear Stamps™
Core'dinations® Vintage Collection™ Emberglow
Core'dinations® Sand It Kit
WorldWin® Peaches & Cream Cardstock
Misc. Patterned Paper
Neenah® Classic Crest™ Solar White
Darice® Large Petal Embossing Folder
May Arts Ribbon®
Tim Holtz® Distress Ink® in Antique Linen
Tsukineko® Radiant Neon Electric Blue
Tsukineko® Radiant Neon Electric Orange
Tsukineko StāzOn® Spiced Chai Midi Pad
Beacon Adhesive® Zip Dry™
Glue Dots®

Here's what I did to create this card:

Create card base with a tent fold
Trim patterned paper to fit as shown
Trim Core'dinations® paper to fit as shown and emboss
Sand embossed paper and adhere to patterned paper
Adhere ribbon piece trimmed to fit width of paper as shown
Adhere papers with attached ribbon to card base
Stamp the three flowers and cut out as shown
Add distress ink to tone down white
Attach flowers with glue dots
Stamp sentiment with StāzOn® ink directly onto ribbon

Of course there are prizes this week! Three prize packages will be awarded. Package includes the Lovely Garden Stamp Set; the Matching Lovely Garden Cutting Dies; a Sand It Kit from Core'dinations which includes a sanding block, replacement sandpaper, and a "must-have" Dust Buddy clean up cloth; Core'dinations will also be sending the lucky winners some of their fantastic 6" X 6" paper pads. PLUS an extra special bonus - our friends at Dreamweaver Stencil will be adding the gorgeous Stone Wall stencil that Jamie Martin used in her terrific card she'll be posting this week (you can see a peek of it on the blog banner!) LET'S GET STARTED! The official rules are HERE. You still need a U.S. mailing address to win, but we sure want to hear your comments anyway! We'll draw three random blog posts from all the posts this week. Then we'll choose one comment from each. Of course we'll love you even more if you pin our projects to your Pinterest Boards or if you Tweet, or Share on Facebook, follow us, like our pages. You know the drill! Here's who is posting today!

Old, New, Borrowed, Blue

At Dreamweaver Stencils, we love to make our monthly challenges something for everyone, and not so strict that no one wants to play along. This month our challenge is, "Old, New, Borrowed, Blue", with the obvious thought being a wedding theme...but not necessarily. Add an old embellishment or picture. Use a new stencil design or technique. Borrow, or CASE (copy and say everything) another designers project, and obviously, blue...is blue. Where will YOUR creative process take you for this month? We'd love to see! And remember, linking your creations with the Inklinkz tool at the end of the team posts, provides you with the opportunity to win the stencil of your choice! Here's what I've created for this week...

Here's what I used to create this project:

Dreamweaver Stencils© Your Wedding Stencil LL 3034
Dreamweaver Stencils© Lace Rectangle Stencil LJ 839
Dreamweaver Stencils© Black Embossing Paste
Stampendous® Stamps Kaleidoscope Sparkle Embossing Paste
Tsukineko®/Imagine Crafts® Delicata Pigment Ink Pad in Silvery Shimmer
May Arts Ribbon®
Bazzill® Cardstock
Spellbinder® Die
Beacon Adhesive® Zip Dry™
Foam Mounting Squares

Here's what I did to create this project:

Paste embossed Your Wedding stencil with matte black embossing paste, set aside to dry
Next, brush/ink-stencil the Lace Rectangle stencil with silver pigment ink and then apply sparkle embossing powder and heat emboss
Once black paste is dry, cover the black paste with the same silver pigment ink and then apply the embossing powder and heat emboss (Originally I had planned to keep it black)
Trim the Lace Rectangle piece close to the edges and adhere ribbon
Create card base and adhere Lace Rectangle piece to card base
Die cut the sentiment and attach foam mounting squares and adhere to card

I know the challenge specifically mentions blue but I've always loved lavender and silver together so that set my color scheme.  The lavender is actually what made me choose to use the embossing powder I used, I love that it has a lavender sheen to it when turned certain ways in the light.  It's so pretty in real life!  A simple, yet elegant, wedding card!

Here's what our "A" team has been working on this week:

DICC Time!

It's time for another Desert Islands Crafters Challenge!  This time around our sponsor is The Stamping Chef and my image of choice is Tabitha.  She's so soft and girly looking that I had to find papers that matched her femininity.  Instead of a card, I chose to create a tag.  I'm thinking I might just use the finished tag on the cover of a journal; I really like the completed project!  Our itinerary for this week is as follows:

1.  Lots of pink

2.  Sugar skulls

3.  Suckers or sweets (lollipops or candy)

4.  Hearts

5.  Add a feather or wings

6.  Pearls or gemstones

7.  Add a banner or bunting

8.  Stitching (real or faux)

9.  Anything but a card

10.  Spritzes or sprays
