Kinda Eclectic Card Set Tutorial!

Finally a new tutorial.  Sorry for the lack of them during the summer but I chose to enjoy the time my son had off from school with him! It was wonderful. Now it is back to reality as he goes back to school on Thursday--so sad.

But I am excited about this new tutorial--six cards with step by step directions, color photos, cut dimensions and more.  Not to mention that all of the cards are easily reproduced and mail with one stamp!  Love that.

As always you only pay
$2.50! 

All six cards use the same colors and only the one stamp set!
Kinda Eclectic is a great set and I have other samples on my blog that you can view too.

This would be a great class for my demonstrator friends. 

Thanks for visiting and supporting me over the years.  I really appreciate it--it keeps me crafting!

Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 330 (TSSC330)

Happy Labor Day to you and yours.  I am so sad that it is September already, that means there are only two more days of my son's summer vacation.  I hate this time of year--I always feel so lost when he is gone all day long everyday.  I have no stinkin idea what I am going to do when he moves out.   Such a sad thought--Let's get to the sketch--that is more fun!  Here is this week's sketch for you to try...

And my sample.. I was determined to use this set for one more card (psst. The new tutorial can be found HERE.) before the new tutorial comes out. So here it is....

I am not really sure about it--I kind of forced the colors and papers but in the end I don't hate it, lol.  The designer paper is from the new Color Me Autumn Designer Series.  The colors are Mossy Meadow, Soft Suede, Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Whisper White--oh and a touch of Blackberry Bliss on the butterfly.  And the stamps set is of course  the Kinda Eclectic.

Now for the rest of the design team and their fabulous samples.  I so appreciate all of them for their talent and for being a part of my design team!  They are the best.

Here are the rest of the supplies used for the card....

Stamps: Little Lambs, And Many More, Kinda Eclectic
Paper: Crushed Curry, Lost Lagoon, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White and Flowerpot DP

Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 328 (TSSC328)

 So it happened again--I did not get back on to add any more posts since last week's challenge.  Every time I think I am caught up with stuff --  I am NOT!  Oh well at least I get this done each week--that is something--and I have a card for tomorrow too as it is my week to post for the Try Stamping on Tuesday challenge so it will be at least two days in a row!  Anyway--the important things is the sketch, right?!  So here is this week's sketch....

It is another simple one this week so I hope to see a lot of samples!  Here is mine to get us started.

I am pretty dissapointed that I can not get the colors to look right on this-- maybe you can see them if you make it bigger.  I used a color combo from Create With Connie and Mary. 


The soft sky looks almost white.  But it is not believe me--you can tell because the butterflies are stamped on white and the little bit around them is not the same as the background.  My son used my camera to take a photography merit badge at camp and I am struggling to get it back where I had it!  Ugg--I might have to take a silly class, lol.  Here are the supplies used for the card....

Stamps: Kind of Eclectic and A Dozen Thoughts
Paper: Blackberry Bliss, Soft Sky, Old Olive, Whisper White
Ink: Blackberry Bliss, Old Olive
Other: rhinestones, butterfly punches

Now for the best part of the post---- THE DESIGN TEAM'S SAMPLES!!!

Try Stamping on Tuesday!

This is a fun sketch this week and I love the card I made for it.  I mixed a couple of brand new sets together to create this....



I am obsessed with crosses so I knew this was one I had to get when the new catalog came out.  I love it.  The set is called Blessed By God the image behind the cross is from the Kinda Eclectic set.

 
Don't forget to see what the rest of the Design Team did for this sketch.....
