Stamping With Sheryl

Strength and Hope Bloggers Challenge

My card today is doing double duty--it fits the sketch for this week's Bloggers Challenge hosted by Lisa and it is one of tonight's Stamp Camp cards.  Here's the sketch we were to follow:

 

And here's what I did with the sketch:

Stamp Camp Registration Ends Today!

Today is the last day to register for Stamp Camp.  If you want to use the PayPal link, click here.

Today's card is one that you will make at Stamp Camp.  Since it's August and back to school, it's time to think "fall".  My card features French Foliage.  The colors are Cajun Craze and So Saffron.  My sketch is from this week's sketch on CPS.

 

Since Cajun Craze is a darker color, I used a Very Vanilla panel on the inside too.

 

What do you think of the bit of Cajun Craze poking out underneath the So Saffron?  Do you have any idea how I got that border?  It's the  Postage Stamp Punch from the Summer Mini.  I just punched a bit off and it's a really easy punch to line up so that the border stays even.  Hope you like that idea.

If you want to purchase the Postage Stamp Punch or any other SU! item, shop 24/7 right here.

Hope you can join us on Friday!

Fabulous Florets Stamp Camp Card

Here's the last of May's Stamp Camp cards.  Tomorrow is the deadline for registration so don't forget to sign up!  Click here for more info and a paypal link.

 

I love this flower set.  Hopefully the girls like it enough to want to cut out the flowers!  I'm not 100% sure I like my sentiment--I may have to rework that a little before Stamp Camp.  But I do like the ribbon--something a little different.

Hope you can join us on May 20th or May 22nd!!

Thanks for the visit!
 

Sail Away

I needed a masculine "thinking of you" card so I turned to my new stamp, Sail Away, and the new DSP, Nautical Expedition, both are from the Summer Mini.  Even if the card recipient isn't into boating, I think they are perfect for masculine cards. 

 
Just so happens that the colors of the DSP are in the color combo challenge on Paper Players and my sketch comes from Clean and Simple.

 
I used markers, Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, and Not Quite Navy to ink my stamp.  Then I tool a Blender Pen and drew a little of the color into the sail and smudged the waves just a bit.  We will use the same technique on this card at May's Stamp Camp.

If you would like to make this card, you'll need the following products:

Stamps:  Sail Away, Silhouette Sentinments (hostess)

Markers:  Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, Not Quite Navy

Card Stock:  Early Espresso, Not Quite Navy, Naturals Ivory, Nautical Expedition DSP

Accessories:  Early Espresso Baker's Twine, Oval Punch, Blender Pen

Sail Away Stamp Camp Card

I have another May Stamp Camp card to share.  This is a great masculine card featuring Sail Away, Nautical Expedition DSP and two of the Baker's Twine--all from the Summer Mini.  I'll have other sentiments to choose if you don't need a Father's Day card.  Be sure to sign up for one of the Stamp Camps--registration ends May 11.

 
You are going to LOVE this Baker's Twine--it's easy to use and it's great for all kinds of cards.

Thanks for the visit!

May Stamp Camp--Fifth Avenue Floral

Today's card is another one that we will make at May's Stamp Camp.  Registration ends May 11!  My card features Fifth Avenue Floral, which is one of the sets you can save 10% on with my May Flowers Special.  It also features the Flower Garden Embossing Folder from the Summer Mini.

Fabulous Florets

I needed a birthday card for a friend so I checked out a few of my favorite challenge blogs. On Create Ink I found the color challenge using Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive.  Then on Inkspirations I found a great sketch.  The girls at Paper Players put out the challenge to use "birds, bees, flowers and trees."

 

 

I put all of those great challenges together and came up with this.

 

I stamped the smaller flower from Fabulous Florets with Black Stazon on Watercolor Paper.  Then I used reinkers and my AquaPainter to watercolor them.  I cut them out and used Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere them.

If you would like to make this card, you'll need the following products:

Stamp Set:  Fabulous Florets

Ink:  Old Olive, Black Stazon, Pumpkin Pie and Rich Razzleberry Reinkers

Card Stock:  Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive

Accessories:  Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dot Embossing Folder, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch, AquaPainter, Stampin' Dimensionals
