The Creative Crafters Challenge #104: ANYTHING GOES

 Good day my Crafty friends! I hope all is well and that you are creating some crafty time for yourself. I try to get creative at least 3 times a week. It helps that I'm on the Design Team (DT) to some fun and easy challenges. Today I'm showcasing my DT card for The Creative Crafters Challenge #104.

 

 As always, we keep things simple and fun and our challenge is ANYTHING GOES. It doesn't even need to be a card, any paper project hand-made by you counts.  

Since the weather is feeling fall-ish here in Alberta, Canada, I cracked open the Vault of Retired DSP and found a paper pack with the same vibes that had only a few pieces left. I spread out these scrap pieces and started mixing and matching into layouts. I came up with quite a few designs and used up all the pieces.  

 

 Products used:

• Stamp Set: Natural Botanicals, Thanks Man
• Card Stock: Thick Basic White, Early Espresso
• DSP: Autumn Vine  
• Accessories: Stampin' Dimensionals

Hope you enjoyed my card today and that it motivates you to get creative. We all need a little me time, why not get crafty?? Upload your project for this week's Anything Goes theme on The Creative Crafters challenge.

The Creative Crafters Challenge Blog #103 : ANYTHING GOES

 Good day my Crafty friends! I hope all is well and that you are creating some crafty time for yourself. I try to get creative at least 3 times a week. It helps that I'm on the Design Team (DT) to some fun and easy challenges. Today I'm showcasing my DT card for The Creative Crafters Challenge #103.

 

 As always, we keep things simple and fun and our challenge is ANYTHING GOES. It doesn't even need to be a card, any paper project hand-made by you counts.  

 This card is an alternate design of the the July Paper Pumpkin kit: Hooray For Birthdays. There are so many flower die cuts to play with, I can create many more cards. The only thing I added were a Thick Basic White card base and the gems, everything else is from the kit.

I hardly ever leave the inside of the card and the envelope unfinished. With just a little pattern paper and a coordinating image (or in this case, a dies cut or two) you can completes the card set.

 For this card I used mostly left over bits from previous projects. It started with trying to use the negative piece of the sentiment banners from a Paper Pumpkin kit. Then I filled the empty banner space with DSP left over from a Card Class kit. Same with the balloons, a different Card Class kit.

 As always, we keep things simple and fun and our challenge is ANYTHING GOES. It doesn't even need to be a card, any paper project hand-made by you counts.  

 For this card I used mostly products from the 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar, I just added some DSP and a strip of card stock. This card also has no stamping, so it was quick to assemble. Added a few glittery gems to finish it off.

 Products used:

• Stamp Set: 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar
• Card Stock: Thick Basic White, Blueberry Bushel
• DSP: 12 Days of Christmas Calendar  
• Accessories: Glittery Gems from the 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar, Stampin' Dimensionals

 

I like to finish the card set with a matching inside and envelope. It's a little extra but it doesn't take long. Keep it simple: a coordinating image and a strip of DSP is enough to make it special.

 As soon as I saw this new Suite Collection in the pre-order for the March Exclusives, I didn't hesitate to put in my cart. Both my grandsons are playing home league indoor soccer. It's a pleasure to watch them play. My husband was a soccer player till his mid forties and to say he is fan of  the sport is just putting it mildly! Fan isn't enough to describe it but hooligan is too much. 

I coloured the jersey with red stripe for his favourite team: Olympiacos, one of Greece's great teams.

 Products used:

• Stamp Set: Match Day
• Card Stock: Real Red, Basic White
• DSP: A Wonderful Match
• Ink Pads: Memento
• Stampin' Blends: Real Red
• Accessories: Match Day dies, Wonderful Stars Puffy stickers, Stampin' Dimensionals

If you go to my Facebook Business page you will see the unboxing of every gift over the 12 days of Christmas (December 25-January 5). The products are worth the cost. The only thing I may not use are the small puffy stickers but then again I might see someone else do something fun with them.
