Color Challenge

I hope the end of the holidays is going well for everyone! I wanted to make a Happy New Year card and was trying to decide what and how…this lead to a discussion with my youngest daughter about glamour and the time in history when glamour was at its height to us was the 1940’s Vintage Hollywood era with the Art Deco architecture of the time. I looked on Google images for some inspiration and boy was I inspired! I am giving you just two photos from my search but there are thousands more if you need more inspiration!
My colors:

Metals, I used Gold and Silver
Basic Black
Whisper White
Old Olive (I embossed the flowers in Old Olive)
Rose Red

Happy New Year and may all your dreams come true this year!!

3d41 – Pizza Box

Welcome to 3d Tuesday! Today I have a template for you to download for today’s 3d Challenge. Using my template — or your own — make a mini pizza box and use at least two of the following embellishments on it:

• Lace
• Ribbon
• Charm
• Blings

When uploading your photo, please use the tag 3d42 so it can be put in the appropriate album. I know it’s a very busy time of year, but I hope you play along!

Sketch Challenge

Here’s the very last sketch challenge for 2009! I did something a little out of the ordinary for me on this sketch–using slanted panels instead of straight ones. Here’s the sketch we’re working with this week:

And, here’s my version of the sketch using images from Stamping Bella. I went with a super girly monochromatic pink color scheme with lots of polka dots thrown in. My card has a button-embellished bow on the circle panel, but you could also use that panel for a sentiment.

Add your cards using this sketch to the gallery using the keyword sk122609 so I can add it to the album. I’m looking forward to seeing what you create with the sketch!

3d41 Challenge

It’s time for another 3D Tuesday Challenge here at Paper Craft Planet. I have a fun project to share with you that is perfect for those last minute gifts you’re still pulling together (and don’t even try to tell me that you’re not doing that–LOL!).

My project is a mug, perfect for filling with treats for friends. The template is courtesy of Clear & Simple Stamps and can be downloaded for free here. All you need to do is print out the template, cut, and assemble using the directions included with download.

I traced the template on a piece of winter themed designer paper from Imaginisce. Aren’t those mittens the cutest things? I added a bright red handle, then filled my mug. In keeping with the warm and cozy theme of the paper, I put a pair of red striped gloves, a snowflake shaped hand warmer, and some sweet flavored lip balms into a tall baggie and tied it closed with a red satin ribbon. I used one of the sentiments from the Cup of Cocoa stamp set (also from Clear & Simple Stamps) to make a simple tag that I attached to the bow.

If you get a chance to play along, upload your project to the PCP gallery using the keyword 3d41 so I can add it to the album for everyone to admire. Happy gifting!

Sketch Challenge

Here’s the new sketch challenge for this weekend… a little early since I have to work tomorrow! It’s been a crazy week, and I don’t have a sample to show, but will hope to create something tomorrow evening!

I recently won 12 sets of mini clear stamps from Basic Grey! They’re all great, but I already have so many stamps that these most likely will never get used. I’m going to give them away to one random participant in the challenge. Entries must be uploaded and tagged with sk121909 by Friday, December 25th at 11:59 p.m. EST. I’ll draw one winner at random.

So get the mojo going, and see what you can do with this sketch!

Happy stamping!

3d40 – Plan On It!

Today it’s my turn to host the 3D Challenge on Paper Craft Planet.  We are thrilled to have Hope Stamps Eternal as our sponsor for this week, so not only can you make this quick and easy holiday planner — you can win a prize too!
This planner was really simple and quick to make. I bought the organizer at Target, for $3.99. The planner came with three tabs and really generous pockets. The red binding was already there, so all I had to do was just recover the rest of the binder in a coordinating paper. I covered the inside and outside with Cosmo Cricket’s Jolly by Golly patterned paper. I printed “Christmas Planner,” using my word processing program, onto vanilla cardstock and then just cut the shape out with my Labels 9 Nestabilities. Add some ribbon and label your tabs and you’re done!

This week, I’m challenging you to make your own planner.  You can make one to hold birthday cards, as a calendar for next year, to organize your grocery shopping, or get your holidays under control.  Take a picture of your planner and tag your photo 3d40 (all lowercase) so that we can pull your project into our gallery. (If you’re new to Paper Craft Planet, here is an excellent tutorial on adding photos to the gallery!)

Next Wednesday, we’ll pick one lucky, random, winner from our challenge players to win this generous prize!

Fun With Flower Soft…

Today Paper Craft Planet has a really fun game to play. The Super Novas all got together and played with the new Flower Soft Snow Globe CD. OMG — it was SO much fun! I got completely carried away! I’m so excited to share this project with you…. and you can play along and win a prize by participating in a scavenger hunt! Keep reading for instructions on how you can win!

How cute is this?! It’s off the Snow Globe CD — you just print it and cut it out and insert the display globe! I used some Tim Holtz distress ink in straw to create the yellow background and the rest was just glue and fill! I love feeling like I made something fantastic, but really it took me 10 minutes. Hee Hee.

Here is the inside. I made this cute pocket to hold a packet of cocoa. I added another Flower Soft snowman to complete the card. It makes me smile just to look at it.

I had so much fun, I decided to make a second card…

I had to do the inside here too. I’m in love with the snowman…

Today’s scavenger hunt is sponsored by Flower Soft! You could win a GENEROUS prize if you play our game…

“Flower Soft makes your stamps look real,
that’s why it has such a huge appeal.
You can use it on flowers or snow,
it’s great for trees and plants, you know.

Sketch Challenge – December 12, 2009

Hey everyone! Today’s sketch challenge is pretty straight forward. We’re making a square chard this week with a center medallion that is NOT square. I used my sketch to create a stash of sympathy cards, but this sketch is versatile enough to use for birthdays or holidays or whatever. I can’t wait to see your “take” on this!

Here is my card:

The sentiment is an Eskimo saying that I saw on a stamp set somewhere (can’t remember). I used my computer to print several of them and then just cut it out with Nestabilities. The patterned paper is retired SU.

I used a Versamark pen to highlight the debossed edge and to create a false mat near the edge. Truthfully, you can make this card in about 15 minutes. You have to like a quick card

OK, to play along, create a card using this sketch. Tag it “sk121209″ so that I can find it for our gallery album. One lucky person will be selected to be featured as this week’s “Shooting Star” and get a special shout out in the gallery and in our weekly newsletter.

I can’t wait to see what you make!!!
