Summer Card Camp -- Week 4

I can't believe it's the last week of Summer Card Camp. It's been so much fun--the sketches, the color challenges, and the great tutorials, too.

Here's my card made with this week's color combo using all Purple Onion Designs stamps.

I paper pieced Faith the Chicken with some My Mind's Eye papers and the flowers were also paper pieced and colored with Copics. The sentiment was cut apart to form a one line sentiment. I also used the zigzag stitch stamp from the Stitches set which is on sale for half off in the Purple Onions store.

Hope you're having a crafty week! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Stamps: All Purple Onion Designs
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink
Patterned paper: My Mind's Eye

Summer Card Camp -- Week 3

This week's colors at Summer Card Camp are my fave! If I could, all my cards would be kraft and browns and a touch of red! Love it!

Stamps used: Home Sweet Home

I thought of paper piecing again and my Purple Onion Designs stamps were in front of me so I grabbed some Jenny Bowlin papers and quickly put this card together. What took the longest was trimming out the little fence. I popped up the heart and one of the clouds for a bit of dimension.

The edges are stamped with Purple Onion's Stitches set which is now on sale for half off in the shop. You get a set of unmounted stamps in three different stitch patterns--what a great buy!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Summer Card Camp--Week 1

Summer Card Camp 2011 has begun! Check out this week's fun, summery colors.

Here's my card using Lawn Fawn's Sew Lovely stamp set and My Mind's Eye papers. I took the route that Kristina shared on gathering papers with the challenge colors first. I was so happy to find perfect color matches in the Fly a Kite and Happy Go Lucky paper pads. 

The dress form was stamped on some Basic Grey papers. I also used Martha Stewart's hydrangea border punch and placed an orange gemstone on the dress form. The sentiment was embossed with white detail powder.

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you're having a great week...

I was probably the last person to sign up for Summer Card Camp. It was a last minute decision but I'm glad that I joined.


It'll keep my brain fresh and there's always tons of inspiration from Jennifer and Kristina and all the other fab guest designers. I'll be sharing my cards here, too. Stay tuned.......I'm a happy camper!
