You Rock!

Hi friends, just a quick stop today with a card I made for a challenge over at Crazy 4 Challenges Blog. The theme this month is "Old Rock Day".  Who knew there was such a day?  Here is what my friend Caz Counsell asked for in her challenge:

 

"Create something to do with Rock. Could be a scene with mountains, Rock n Roll, Stone style Paper, A brick wall or a precious gem!"

 

For my card, I used some of the new release dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs, you can see them all here.  I also used some Soft Finish Cardstock and the rocks are Through the Lens Paper.

I must confess, my card is completely Pinterest inspired.  I guess that's why they put it out there.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Karen Burniston's Designer Challenge Week(s) #1 - UP

Hi my friends and welcome.  I hope the title of this post hasn't confused you, it's just my way of drawing your attention to the fact that we are starting something new for the Karen Burniston Designer Challenges.  Beginning today we will be popping in twice a month instead of once.  You can see all the great designs from the design team each 2nd and 4th Monday of the month and a new video from Karen on the following Tuesdays.  Karen always has a great new technique to share and we are all looking forward them - so let's get started.

 

This time around we have been challenged by Karen with the theme

 "Up!" - Let's get things airborne with high-flying cards featuring the sky.

I thought Jinks would have fun doing a little sky diving so here he is with his colorful

parachute and cheeky smile.

 

 

I used the Oval Pull Card this time.  When opened -  Jinks slides on over to reveal the message inside.  He is flying with a few of his bird friends from the Partly Cloudy - Stage it Stencil.

 

I had a little giggle while making this card because I think Jinks is just so darn cute.  I tied some bakers twine around his waist and then attached it to the parachute which is an umbrella.  Jinks and the parachute are attached to a piece of acetate and then put on the slider of the Oval Pull Card.

I used clouds from the All Seasons Tree set and from the Hot Air Balloon Pop Up. 

 My lovely team mate, Kelly Booth, has issued the challenge of  "Stretch it Out" for July 25th.  I can't wait to see what the team does with this one.  There will be all kinds of wonderful accordion cards I'm sure.
 

You can see all the cards made for this challenge on Karen's Facebook Page here.  Don't forget to visit Karen's Blog tomorrow to see her new video by clicking here.

 

Have a fabulous week,

S@ndy

Some tags to share -

Hi - just stopping by today to share a couple of my tags that were on display at CHA in the

Elizabeth Craft Designs Booth. 

For this one I used several of the previously released die sets from Karen Burniston, a new Clear Stamp Set and the tag set from Els van de Burgt, all linked below.

 

 

For this tag I started out with the great tag set by Els van de Burgt.  For the background I used one of the new Stage it Stencils from Karen Burniston.  All the die sets, stencils and stamp sets are linked below.  

Have a great weekend,
