Singing Loud

Happy Sunday! It's time for a new challenge over at the Sunday Stamps blog and this week we have a fun sketch from Heather to work with!

Christmas is my most favorite time of the year and I collect Christmas movies. One of my favorite movies is Elf so of course when I saw this stamp set in the SU holiday catalog that featured a quote from the Elf movie I had to have it! I sing nice and loud at Christmas but considering how awful my voice is I don't know if it brings cheer to those around me 😆

I adore this new DSP called Trimming the Town! I think it is just perfect with all the designs and colors. I thought this sheet with all the people on it would be a nice background for a singing quote and then the red with the polka dots was a nice contrast, plus it worked for the 3 dots in the sketch. The 2 thin lines in the sketch called for some blue DSP, which matches the blue on the main background image. This was a fun and simple card to throw together quickly!

Make sure to head on over to the Sunday Stamps blog to see what the rest of the DT created and then play along with us, we'd love to see how YOU interpret the sketch!

Harvest Love

It's time for a new challenge over at the Sunday Stamps blog and this week we have a gorgeous autumn color combo to play with.

I recently got some bundles from the SU Holiday catalog and this autumn stamp and die set was one of them. It's called Autumn Goodness and the fence die and wheelbarrow stamp/die is what really sold me on this one. I've wanted a fence die for a while and combining the wheelbarrow with other images in the set? Yes please!

I decided to use Early Espresso for my card base and then I used Crumb Cake for the next layer, embossing it with the Pinewood Planks folder. I used a circle die to cut a piece of the plaid paper and then cut the fence from Pool Party and the wheelbarrow from Early Espresso. The sentiment was also stamped in Early Espresso.

Even though you only need to use 3 colors from the graphic I pretty much used all 5, even though my flowers are more of a red than a rust color.

Make sure to head on over to the Sunday Stamps blog to see what the rest of the DT created and then play along with us! We'd love to see how you use these fall colors.
