Talk Nerdy To Me

Try Stampin on Tuesday and Double Trouble have a joint challenge this week, follow the sketch and make a masculine card.  

I cut apart an old Stampabilities stamp so I could create the background and strip with randomly stamped eyeglasses, then added the Unity sentiment.  

 

Really fun challenge!

Crafty Hugs

I have WAAYYY too much NBUS (never before used stuff).  I keep all of the things I have purchased in a bin until I use it.  My bins have multiplied!  

I inked a panel in rainbow colors, then used a Hero Arts background die.  I paired it with an Alte New sentiment.  I love this!!  I am sharing this with the Double Trouble Rainbow challenge, and the Colorful Options Rainbow or predominately pink.

Happy Hall-O-Ween!

One of the Double Trouble challenges is to Create A Scene.

Lawn Fawn raccoon (colored with regular pencils) and pumpkin (colored with Intense pencil).  I inked the background with Dusty Concord, Seedless Preserves, and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxides.  The "stars" are a Judith stamp in silver.

Double Trouble Part II

I made another attempt at the Double Trouble

Challenge #1 - make something.  Check!

Challenge #2 - include a telephone.  Emma Nutt, who became the world's first female telephone operator on September 1, 1878.  Check!

Challenge #3 - link up to one of their previous challenge partners.  I did it this time!!!!


I broke out my ancient Cricut and used the Wild Card cartridge to cut the sentiment and the phone in black, and the dial out of silver.  The stitching on the stripe and polka dot was done with an ancient tracing wheel since I didn't have any dies in those proportions.  

I managed to complete the top row of The Paper Players Tic Tac Toe challenge:

Double Trouble

Double Trouble has a 5th Monday challenge - how fun is that?  

Challenge #1 - make something.  Check!

Challenge #2 - include a telephone.  Emma Nutt, who became the world's first female telephone operator on September 1, 1878.  Check!

Challenge #3 - link up to one of their previous challenge partners.  Fail!

I can't believe that I literally have thousands of stamps, and not one telephone!  Luckily, I still have a few bits of my hoarded Bazxill Love Story paper.

Bee-utiful Day!

With everything going on in the world, I wanted to make something bright and cheery.
Studio Calico stencil with Squeezed Lemonade oxide ink.  The bumble bee was cut with my ancient Cricut and Walk in My Garden cartridge.  I was trying to use the dashed lines as the bee's "trail".  Older sentiment, not sure of the maker.  Sharing with the Paper Players sketch challenge and Double Trouble's Die-leriously Punchy challenge to use spring project, extra credit for using a cutting machine and a bee or honeycomb.  Whew! 
Starts Monday March 16th - Ends March 29th

Ombre in Shades of Orange

I often play along with challenges from Try Stampin' on Tuesday.  This round, they are partnering with Double Trouble for an It's a Tall Order challenge, make a tall and skinny card. 
The Craft Smith Paint Chip pad is perfect for a card like this.  Pretty simple and the spacing wasn't easy, but I'm happy with it.
