Cardabilties Sketch 34

Hi guys!  Time for a new challenge at Cardabilities.  My design team term is up after this reveal and I'd like to thank Karan for being such a fabulous leader!  Honestly an amazing DT to be a part of and I'm so happy I get to add it to my resume.  Who wants to see the sketch???

Robyn's Fetish is the Sponsor for Challenge 34.  I used her Birdie's Nest digi stamp.  Adorable!  Here is my card:

I decided to do a little paper piecing and add a sunshine instead of a banner.  I kept the edges around my digi rough, not a perfect cut.  My cardstock, stamps, and ribbon is Papertrey Ink.  I used my Copics and a button from Crate Paper.

Ready for a new sketch from Cardabilties?  Sketch 33 is fabulous and so fun to work with:

This week our Sponsor is Whimsie Doodles.  They have oh so cute digi stamps!

I used a new digi in the store for June - Hooties Graduate.  Loved coloring this little digi with my Copics.  Here's my card:

Hootie was a hoot to work with.  I used Papertrey Ink Cardstock.  My ribbon is Crate Paper.  My patterned paper is Echo Park.

Cardabilities Sketch 32

Time for a new sketch by Cardabilties.  Sketch  #32 is fabulous and inspires the creative girl in all of us. 

Take a look:

There's so many different ways to approach this sketch.  Here's my card:

I used Papetrey Ink cardstock andn stamped sentiment.  My patterned papers are Girls' Paperie and 7 Gypsies.  I used an Elle's Studio tag.  My flowers are Prima and my pearls are Creative Charms.  I used my Spellbinder Nestabilties to cut out the scalloped circles.  And I added a little glitter glue to my white flower.

Cardabilties Sketch 31

It's May 15th and that means a sketch at Cardabilities. 

Sketch 31 is stunning:

And here is my card:

I started with Papertrey Ink Cardstock.  I then layered on patterned papers from the Girls' Paperie.  I used my Spellbinder Nestabilties and Cuttlebug to make my circle.  My sentiment is Papertrey Ink and I stamped it on a tag from Pink Paislee.  My ribbon is Papertrey Ink and my fabulous button is Tim Holtz. 

I love this sketch because by the time you complete the steps of the sketch, you have a completed card that doesn't need extra work.  The sketch walks you through it.

Cardabilties Sketch #30

Time for a fabulous new sketch from Cardabilties. 

Sketch #30 had me thinking!  Do I want to make a round card, do I want to use my Nestabilties, the possibilties are endless:

And then I had a moment of inspiration!  Anyone that follows me knows I adore doilies:

I used a doily from Little Yellow Bicycle and  inked the edges with brown ink.  I used Papertrey Ink Cardstock, Stamp (sentiment and leaves), and buttons.  My pearls are Creative Charms.  I used Crate Paper Ribbon and an American Crafts flower.  This little card was so easy to make, doilies are so feminie and makes your card look stylish.
