Welcome to Cardabilities Design Team Reveal #34! This is my last post as a design team member, and I want to thank Karan and the rest of the design team for this fun experience! :)

This week's sponsor is Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More. They will award either 5 digital stamps or 4 digital stamps and 1 paper pack of the winner's choice to the winner of this challenge. So what are you waiting for?! Get in that craft room and create something with this awesome sketch!

I decided to rotate the sketch and use a patriotic theme. I can't believe July is almost here...but that means it's time for BBQ's, time spent with family and friends, and a long weekend just around the corner!

I used a the Primitive Birdhouse digital stamp by Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More, and colored in parts of the image with a blender pen and ink. The banner on the side is made using PTI's Banner Builder dies and stamp set.

Cardabilities Sketch #31

Hello! Here is my take on the Cardabilities Sketch #31! I will be back later to add my supply list :)

Cardabilities Sketch #30

Welcome to the next design team reveal over at Cardabilities!! The sketch for this one is pretty awesome, don't you think?! I love it because I would have never done a layout like this on my own!

I used one of my favorite new stamp sets, PTI's Delightful Doilies, and the coordinating dies. There are lots of layers to this card, which I don't do that often, but I still love the outcome! The cs piece the sentiment is on is actually more of a brighter green, Certainly Celery. I used some Whisper White pigment ink to lightly apply the ink to the cs so it matched the patterned paper more closely.
I would love to see your take on this sketch! Stop over at the Cardabilities blog and see the rest of the awesome design team creations to get more inspiration, and then upload your card to the new Gallery (you will need to register, but it's free and quick to do).

 I would love to hear what you think about my take on the sketch!

Cardabilities Sketch #29 = My FIRST design team post!

I am so excited today!! It's time for the next sketch reveal over at the Cardabilities blog, and it's also the first reveal for the new design team...which I am THRILLED to be a part of. A special thanks to Karan Gerber (owner of Cardabilities/Sketchabilities) for recognizing my talent and accepting my DT application!! It means so much to me to be a part of this fantastic group!

Ok, so here is what I created for this sketch. When I sat down to stamp, I was studying the sketch and first thought about what I could use for the little heart/flower embellishments. How perfect is the Papertrey Tiny Tags set for this?! The options are ENDLESS with this set, as there are a ton of sentiments and lots of different tag shapes to pick from! It's a clean and simple card that I hope you like!

 Another new exciting thing that is being launched today is the Gallery!! Anyone that makes a card for the sketch (and future sketches) will upload their card right to the gallery! This way you can see all the entries in one place! Come check it out and see what all the other design team members have done!

Color Cue {8} and Cardabilities Challenges

I needed an anniversary card for my in-laws, so I decided to combine the Color Cue {8} Challenge with the Cardabilities Challenge. I love how this card turned out! Perfect fall colors!
Isn't the patterned paper just gorgeous?! I couldn't believe how perfectly it matched the colors for the challenge, so of course I had to use it. The yellow vertical piece of cs is made with a stamp from the Double-Line Doodles SU set. I love my Frames with a Flourish SU set, but haven't used it all that much. I thought it was a nice complement to the patterned paper. Finally, the polka-dot ribbon ties it all together. Thanks for stopping by! I would love to hear your feedback! :-)

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin' Up - Frames with a Flourish, Everyday Flexible Phrases, Double-Line Doodles

Cardstock: Stampin' Up - Whisper White, So Saffron, Bravo Burgundy, Old Olive

Patterned Paper: Heidi Grace Designs

Ink: Stampin' Up - Chocolate Chip, Always Artichoke
