Stampin' In Alaska

  I'm joining the Wheelie Awesome challenge at Art Impressions with a fun Clean and Simple birthday card. My card features Road Trip 4931 and Enjoy the Ride 5186 from Art Impressions.  The small car was stamped onto water color paper and colored with Tombow Markers.  I drew the road lines then added the sentiment from Enjoy the Ride set. This will go into my birthday stash for our church card ministry. I would like to share my card with the following: Art Impressions Challenge #327 Wheelie Awesome Word Art Wednesday:  #543 - 544 Anything Goes   Allsorts Challenge:  #677 Anything for a Birthday   Polkadoodles Craft Challenge:  Week #20 Anything Goes    

  I'm sharing a one-layer clean and simple design with the current Hero Arts challenge - For the Guys .  I've used images from the May 2021 My Monthly Hero Kit.  I love this kit and hope to play with even more this week!  The fun birthday sentiment is from one of the May add-on sets called Sea You.  The waves were created with Hero Arts Sea and Sky stencil using distress inks. The CAS design and sketch was inspired by the current AAA Cards challenge.  I stamped the fish image onto a scrap of gelli print and die cut. A fun and quick way to add a little color and the "optional" critter!

  I couldn't resist creating one more card for the current AAA Cards challenge - One Corner + a scene.  I came across this older set from Stampin' Up called Scene in A Garden.  The little row of rubber boots is so adorable.   One of my favorite techniques is coloring with my Prismacolor pencils on kraft card stock.  In keeping with the CAS theme, I kept my one layer card very clean and simple with a fun stenciled background.

  I was the lucky winner of the IO challenge recently and purchased the adorable Blue Footed set by Dina Kowal.  This cute guy makes me smile and the sentiments are perfect. I stamped the image onto Stampin' Up! Smoky Slate card stock.  The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils and charcoal pencil.  I kept the design clean and simple since this will get mailed.

  Happy Saturday and Happy World Card Making Day!  I hope everyone is getting crafty today. I'm sharing a clean and simple one layer card featuring a sweet digital image from Gerda Steiner called Warm Fuzzies Bear .   I started by printing the image onto Stampin' Up! Sahara Sand card stock.  It was colored with Prismacolor pencils.  I added some shading with a charcoal pencil and blending stub.  The card was finished with a sentiment from My Favorite Things. I'm also sharing my one layer card with the current AAA Cards challenge and an optional twist of coffee!

    I'm joining Day 5 of the MFT Summer School lesson - White Space.  This adorable pup, ball and sentiment are from the Birdie Brown Woof Pack stamp set.  This set includes so many adorable pup images and coordinating elements.  It was a must-have for my MFT/Birdie Brown collection! I have created a very clean and simple one layer card using lots of "white" space.  The images were stamped in VersaClaire black ink onto SU Crumb Cake cardstock.  I then colored with Prismacolor pencils.

So, on the positive side, spending more time at home seems to have given me more creative mojo!  I'm not sure that I have created more, but I have been able to join lots of fun challenges. Tonight I'm sharing a fun one layer card with the Share Your Designs Challenge at Gerda Steiner .  My card features the adorable Chicken Scratch clear set.  This set was on my wish list and I've seen SO many adorable cards using this little group of chicks and pig. I stamped the images onto Stampin' Up! Crumb Cake cardstock with VersaClaire black ink.  It was colored with Prismacolor pencils.

I'm sharing a clean and simple card with a couple of challenges.  The current Hero Arts challenge is One Layer Cards.  I have combined my one layer card with the Made In Minutes challenge at AAA Cards. My card features the May 2020 Monthly Kit from Hero Arts.  It is such a fun set with so many great accessories.  How could I resist?! The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils and Tombow markers.  I highlighted the clouds with the decobrush included with the kit.  This was my first attempt and they are fun!

I'm joining a couple of challenges with this one-layer clean and simple Father's Day card.  The card started by sponging and blending distress ink with the MFT Radiating Rays stencil.  I used my Misti to stamp the Sweet 'n Sassy silhouette image in Versafine Claire black ink.  The sentiment is a retired set from SNSS. I really like how this turned out.  Clean and simple saves on the postage as well since this will be going into the mail in the morning!    I would like to share my card with the following: AAA Cards CAS Game #167 - One Layer + Inspired by the Graphic Word Art Wednesday Challenge:  #444 - 445 Anything Goes   Simon Says Stamp Wednesday:  Summer Fun   Stamplorations Stencil Challenge:  June Anything Goes    

I'm sharing a quick one layer card for the current AAA Cards challenge.  I've stamped an older set from Stampin' Up! called Farm Life in Caramel Adirondack ink.  The sentiment is from SU Home to Roost.  One layer cards are not the easiest design style for me.  But I'm pleased with the results. I would like to share my card with the following: AAA Cards CAS Game #167 - One Layer  Word Art Wednesday Challenge:  #442 - 443 Anything Goes

I'm joining the current clean and simple challenge at AAA Cards .  The current theme is one layer with polar animals.  I recently bought the Snow and Cocoa clear stamp set by Crate Paper at Tuesday Morning.  Love this cute little bear... I think he can be Polar or Brown! The image was colored with Copic Markers.  I stenciled the background with distress ink and an MFT stencil.  I'm stocking up on Birthday cards for our church group.
