PTT7 A Whole Lotta Craftin' Going ON!

We have an awesome challenge for you this week at Party Time Tuesdays, and we have multiple sponsors this week! The challenge is to make an easel card this week using the sketch below from our sketch artist -- Stacy Koo. We used a wonderful tutorial from the ladies at Twosdays Techniques, and you will love their work! Remember that you can win a subscription to their tutorials. All of the details and your chance to enter can be found HERE.

I couldn't fit the shamrocks on my easel card, so I decided to make a little gift enclosure card that measures 3x3. I actually don't have any shamrock stickers, die cuts, or stamps, so I easily made this one from my heart Nestabilities dies. It was fun! The cute little flower stickers are from another sponsor of ours -- Circle B Enterprises. You will be amazed at their inventory, and the prices and service are exceptional!!

My easel card features our last sponsor -- Baby Bud Designs. We were so fortunate to be given adorable images to work with. I actually used two on my easel card, one that I was given and a free one that was given away by Baby Bud Designs. I had to use them together with Stacy's sketch!

PTTC21 Easel Card

It's Tuesday, and it's time to PARTY!! Our challenge this week at Party Time Tuesdays is to make an easel card. I hadn't made one in a while, so this was a treat. I used my DeLovely paper by Cosmo Cricket for the ever-classic pink and black combination. Isn't it a great combo? I LOVE black satin ribbon! We'd love to see your easel cards, so check out this tutorial HERE to make one. Then, upload your creation at Party Time Tuesdays and share it with the world.

Tip:
The tutorial is for a 4 1/4 inch card. My card is 5 1/2 inch square, so cut your main piece of cardstock--5 1/2 x 11 inches. From there, score on the 5 1/2 (down the middle) and score 2 3/4 from the other end. This will work perfectly, although you may have to maneuver a little to get the 2 3/4. I usually measure and score the line from there on my Scor Pal.

Card Details:

Stamps: None

Paper: DeLovely by Cosmo Cricket; Melon Mambo

and Basic Black by Stampin' Up
Ink: None
Accessories: Cricut; Cuttlebug embossing folder; Nestabilities

(Scrapmart exclusive); SU black satin ribbon; black pearls

Fabulous Fridays at Sugar Creek Hollow

Today is Fabulous because it is Friday, and we have treats from Sugar Creek Hollow for you! First of all, Sugar Creek Hollow, the store, is now officially a dot com!! We still have the blog to highlight our work, but the store will be separate! And, Tracy has added the most delicious ribbon that is hand-dyed! You don't want to miss it!

Today, our challenge was to make an easel card for Mother's Day. I have used this very lovely new image from Sugar Creek Hollow of a jam jar and cover! The berries in the corner are a past freebie and so is the wonderful sentiment!

Did I mention how in love with the Bow Easy , which you can buy at I Heart Papers, that I am? I have always struggled with bows, so as soon as I figured out how to use it, I was in business!! I'm quite proud of myself!!

My team mates also have some incredible new projects to show you...take a gander!!
