Paper Craft Crew Weekly Challenge #615

 Good Morning, Stampers!

This week's  Paper Craft Crew Weekly Challenge

combines both a theme and a sketch. We are combining an

Easter theme card using this simple layout. 

Do you stamp on your pattern paper? When I'm

working with a simple pattern or soft color, 

I love adding a sentiment or image to my designer

papers to give it a more custom look. This is the Timeless

Plaid designer paper and there are so many muted colors 

and patterns that make it so easy to customize!

SU!pplies:
Stamps: Storybook Friends, Storybook Life

Ink: Lost Lagoon, Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate

Paper: Basic White, Crumb Cake, Timeless Plaid DSP

Accessories: Linen Thread, Stylish Shapes dies, Storybook Friends dies, 

Impressions Abloom dies

Stampin' Blends: Smoky Slate, Bubble Bath, Lost Lagoon

Over the Top Tag

 Good Morning, Stampers!

Do you like creating tags? What about an Over The Top tag? This is an over-sized tag (approx. 6") that is "stepped-up" with a little more bling and pizzazz and layers. This tag features the Beautiful Butterflies bundle along with the Round We Go dies. l really love all the texture and dimension with the hybrid embossing folder and rosette. The Metallic Enamel lets you add lots of shimmer and shine, too!. This would be so pretty tied onto the side of a gift bag in lieu of a card, don't you think??!!

Stamps: Beautiful Butterflies, Elements of Text
Ink: Lost Lagoon, Pool Party, Craft White
Paper: Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Pool Party, Pretty Peacock, Old Olive

Paper Craft Crew Weekly Challenge #614

 Good Morning, Stampers!

(click photo to enlarge)

It's a Simple Stamping challenge for this week's Paper

Craft Crew Weekly Challenge! Perfect for those busy

days when you need a quick, last-minute card!

The hardest part for me when creating a simple card

 is knowing when to stop! I always tend to want to add more - 

more layers, more embellishments, etc. Keeping it

simple is definitely key. I dug out the Hot Air Balloon bundle

for this card - it hasn't seen ink in such a long time!

SU!pplies:
Stamps: Hot Air Balloon

Ink: Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Bubble Bath, Pecan Pie

Paper: Basic White

Accessories: Water painter, Adhesive Dots
