TSG115- Fabric...

This week our challenge, over at There She Goes, is brought to us by our Trendsetter of the week - Karen! She is challenging us to use fabric on our cards and projects. There are so many fun ways to incorporate fabric on cards and we can't wait to see all of the things you crafty peeps come up with!

To be eligible for the giveaway, you are to create a card that incorporates fabric, and then come back to the TSG Blog to add your name and a link to your project in the InLinkz that is located at the bottom of this challenge post. This challenge is open until the winner has been announced on the following Monday (July 18). The winner will get a $5 gift certificate to use in the TSG Web store!

We will be on the look out to find challenge cards that stand out and show Trendsetting qualities. TSG stamps are not required to participate in the challenges but are appreciated :)


Over the weekend, I looked at this week's challenge and decided not to play. I just moved, and all types of fabric I MIGHT have had, are in storage, so I didn't feel equipped to play along.....then it happened. I found some clothes that were going to be put in my rummage sale...and I KNEW this particular skirt had a rip in it, so I decided to cut it up and use it so I could play along. I started by stamping my image from The Fairy Best on X-Press It Blending card, and then I colored it with my Copics. I then layered it with Grape Jelly, Orange Fizz, and Blue Raspberry. My paper is from the Cosmo Cricket Delovely collection. I used Caribbean Twine, and a Basic Grey button. My brads are from Michael's.
Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

Crazy 4 Challenges- Summer

Hey everyone, and welcome to this week's Crazy 4 Challenges, challenge! This week's challenge is to make a summery card, so along with that in mind, and this past week's Sweet Sunday Sketch, this is what happened!!

I KNEW I wanted to use the ADORABLE new Pure Innocence image, Make a Splash. I started by stamping her on an X-Press It Blending card, and I also stamped her on some Sweet Summertime paper from Echo Park. I paper pieced her swimsuit, and then colored the rest of her with my Copics. I layered my image with Cotton Candy, Lemon Drop, and Sour Apple. I used some old SU and MFT ribbon, I also used an old MFT button. My sentiment was cut out with my First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics, and my scallops with the Simply Scalloped Medium Die-namics. My spiral clip is from Creative Express, and my brads are from Michael's.


For the inside, I used more of the same supplies, and another sentiment from the set.

Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day! Be sure to check out the other Crazies to see what they have been up to!

Forgotten Stamp Friday- Week 26

Hey everyone!! Sorry I skipped last week, release time can get SO HECTIC!! Forgive me? (flashes her puppy dog eyes)

Since it is Friday, it is time for Forgotten Stamp Friday. If you aren't familiar with this challenge, it is a personal challenge that I have posed to myself to make me use some of my un-inked, unused, and neglected stamps. The only rule is that it has to have been un-inked or owned for 6 months. Digi images count, as well...we tend to collect those, and then never use them, too! If you decide to play along, just be sure to enter your name in the Mr. Linky, and when uploading to an online gallery, use the keyword...FSF26.

For this week's card, I paired the ADORABLE Puppy Love set from There She Goes, with this week's Sweet Stop Sketch. I LOVE these adorable puppies, and couldn't wait to play with them again. This set was illustrated by the EVER fabulous, Torico!! Isn't she the GREATEST??!!

Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by, and I can't wait to see if you play along!

MFTWSC27 Sew Nifty

Hey everyone, and happy Wednesday!! Since it is Wednesday, technically, it is time for another Wednesday Stamp Club challenge from My Favorite Things!!

For my card tonight, I decided to use the new Sew Nifty set that was released tonight. I started by stamping my sentiment on GP white, and then cut it out with my Cuttlebug and Oval Nesties. I then used some old MFT ruffled ribbon, and made a "frame" for it. My spool was cut out using Fossil card stock, and the new Sew Nifty Die-namics. I used linen thread to wrap it. My brads are from Michael, ribbon from SU, and I used a Creative Express spiral clip. The card stock colors I used are Snow Cone, Sour Apple, and Lemon Drop. I paired it with some Cosmo Cricket Early Bird paper. I also used the Solid Bracket Edge Die-namics, as well.



For the inside, I used more of the same supplies and another die from the set.

Well, that is it for me for now!! Be sure to check out Kim's blog for a full list of designers participating in today's sketch!!

I started by stamping Fred on X-Press It Blending card, and then colored him with my Copics. I then layered him with Snow Cone, Jelly Bean Green, and Fossil.
