Ten Minute Monday

Here's a quick, colourful birthday card for this week's ten minute Monday. I stamped and coloured a monster from Silly Monsters. The background was made by embossing the Pebbles plate onto pink cardstock, then attaching that to white cardstock and cutting out that whole piece with Labels 8. I added a bit of ribbon, the monster, and a sentiment and put it all together on a black card base.

FTL#60 Just a Note

The card stock is also Enchanted Evening, Summer Sunrise and Stampers Select. I used Hero Arts Gemstones below the image panel.

Fall-to Layout 60

For some reason I had a hard figuring out what I wanted to do for my sketch this week. Sometimes it just is easier, you know? I finally decided on something, and it was loosely based on the image I wanted to use. You've got to start somewhere, right! So here's the sketch:

Some dimensions:

• Card base: 4-1/4 x 5-1/2
• Cream Piece:2-1/8 x 3-1/4
• Pumpkin Piece: 1 x 3-1/4

Supplies: Stamps: Autumn Splendor, Garden of Life Paper: Vintage Cream, Dark Chocolate, Pumpkin Pie Ink: Rich Cocoa Accessories, etc.: Chocolate Polytwill, corner rounder, pop dots, copics, rhinestones *Keeping things simple tip* Use a template to draw dots for the rhinestones, apply with tweezers.

Ten Minute Monday 09/14/09

I've got an ultra quick, ultra simple card to share today. I was in the mood for a one layer card with a bit of a colour pop. I chose my ribbon first, then found one coordinating colour and an earthy neutral. Sometimes, it's easy to forget how nicely using markers for inking up stamps can turn out! Supplies: Stamps: Feel the Joy (Unity stamps, from i {heart} papers), Sincere Salutations Ink: Bermuda Bay, Soft Suede Paper: Rustic WhiteAccessories, etc.: Ribbon

Hello, and happy Saturday! :) This is what I created using the Fall-to Layout #59 sketch. I normally stamp the flowers from In Bloom onto colored card stock, then cut out and layer them with pop dots, but decided to give coloring with my Copics a try. I can definitely use the practice! :) A simple card, but I think it turned out kinda cute.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

My card for this week's sketch is 4.25 " square. I like that size so I can use a regular envelop and not have to pay extra postage. I kept pretty true to the sketch except instead of a ribbon, I embossed the right panel with a new border embossing folder. The image panel is matted with DCWV textured card stock and then attached with dimensionals to the front of the card. Supplies: Stamps - PaperTrey Fall Elegance, Autumn Abundance; Ink - PaperTrey Summer Sunrise, SU! Old Olive; Paper - PaperTrey Vintage Cream, DCWV; Misc - Cuttlebug border embossing folder, Dimensionals

The design is meant to be square, so really any size will do. Have a great weekend, and as always, feel free to leave a link if you participate.
