Swap Card #2

The kids and I are off to Camp Tag-A-Long for the week. Since we are set to leave at 7:30am and get back late afternoon each day I figured I would share some already done cards. ;) A few weeks ago I posted the first of four cards I made for a Swap. I figured this week would be as good a time as any to share the other three cards.

This one was for little boys. I love this set, but must admit is hasn't seen ink in a long time before I made this card.

I used Garden Green and Night of Navy Markers to ink the Tractor and the Happy Birthday stamp. I added a pearl sticker to the tractor pipe. I used the yellow Gelly Roll Glitter pen to the candles. I punched out the Whisper White with the 1 3/8" Circle Punch and the Scallop Circle Punch to cut out the Glorious Green and Basic Black. You can't tell from the photo, but the bottom 2/3rds are scored in 1/2" squares with the Score Pal.

Materials Used: SU Stamps: By Land, So Many Scallops; SU Paper: Glorious Green, Whisper White, Basic Black; SU Ink: Garden Green, Night of Navy; Other: Score-Pal, SU Scallop Punch, SU 1 3/8" Punch, Pearl Stickers

SC235

Last but not least, the third card we made last Saturday.

( I really love these sketch Challenges!)

I stamped the circles and sponged the circle edges with Rose Red. I then mounted the Regal Rose Circles on the Rose Red circles. (Thank goodness for the Circle Punches! ;) ) I used a dimensional on the middle one And added the Pearls and ribbon.

Materials Used: SU Stamps: Circle Circus; SU Paper: Rose Red, Regal Rose; SU Ink: Rose Red; Other: SU 1 1/4" Circle Punch, SU 1 3/8" Circle Punch, 1/4" White Grosgrain Ribbon, Crystal Stickers Pearls

Sketch Challenge 218

This was the second card we made for my Stamp Camp last Saturday.

I am not sure, but I think this bear is growing on me. ;)

I used Versamark for the stars on the Not Quite Navy and watercolored the bear with a blender pen and the Close to Cocoa and Creamy Carmel Classic ink pads. I used the Big Dots Sizzix texture plate on the Whisper White card stock and another (can't remember the name) for the Creamy Carmel stripes.

Materials Used: SU Stamps: Under the Stars; SU Paper: Chocolate Chip, Creamy Carmel, Not Quite Navy, Whisper White; SU Ink: Versamark, Basic Brown, Close to Cocoa, Creamy Carmel; Other: Sizzix Texture plates.

Sketch Challenge 220

Since I had a Stamp Camp on Saturday Night and didn't plan it out ahead of time I turned to the files of not yet done Sketch Challenges for inspiration.

I think it turned out well. Unfortunately my sample card got mixed up and was taken home, so I thought I would show you what one of my stampers and Maggie came up with. They each made 2 cards of three designs

(I'll post the other two later this week.)

The top one was left instead of my sample and I am

very proud of the fact that Maggie made the bottom two cards.

I think for being 8 she does remarkably well!

(But then maybe I am a *tiny* bit biased. ;) )

Materials Used:

SU Stamps: Upsy Daisy; SU Paper: Apricot Appeal Card stock & Designer Series; SU Ink: Apricot Appeal; Other: Sponges
