Paper Craft Connection Go To Sketch Challenge #5

Happy Day Blogging friends!! I hope this finds you and yours well!!

Some of you that regularly visit my blog have seen the Slide album to the right side of my posts. In that "sliding album" I am following the Papercrafts Go To Sketch Book page for page and trying to use each sketch to make a card. It is fun and challenging. Most of the sketches in there, I would never have used if I wouldn't have tried to challenge myself.

This Monday morning, I was doing my morning blogging and reading the Papercrafts Connection blog, when I realized that Papercrafts has Go To Sketch Challenges. Darn it! I could have been submitting all along! Anyway, I am in now, and I want to share my first challenge with you.

This is Sketch Challenge #5. You can view the sketch HERE. All the deets on making an entry can be found HERE.

Here is the card that I made...

Here are the supplies that I used:

Card Stock: Kraft & Very Vanilla (Stampin' Up)

Vellum: Close To My Heart

Stamps: Scripture Collection 1 (Our Daily Bread Designs)

Ink: Craft Chocolate Chip (Stampin Up)

Die: Lattice Pendant Die (Spellbinders)

Ribbon: Kraft Taffeta Ribbon (Stampin' Up)

Pearls: (Stampin' Up)

Pretty simple little card and I am now in love with my Lattice die from Spellbinders.

I hope you enjoyed taking a look at my card today and I hope you have a wonderful day. Please stop by again!

Waltzing Mouse Sketch Challenge #6

Good morning!! First of all, I want everyone to know that I CASED this elegant card from Kimberly Crawford, owner and designer of Mint Motif stamps. I had never used this Spellbinders die before and now I have three cards under my belt with it. Thank you Kimberly!!

Now, with that being said, I can move onto this weeks Waltzing Mouse Sketch Challenge.

While you are there, you can check out that last week, I was chosen as Top 3 Mouse at the Waltzing Mouse Sketch blog. You can see the card and my new award at the right of the screen next to this post.

I had to make two cards for this challenge. The number one reason is that I had to cut the amazing Lattice Pendant die cut in half for the card and I didn't want to waste. Also, the stamping room if fairly small for this card and I wanted to make a card with the wonderful "Trust In Him" stamp from Waltzing Mouse's, Words of Wisdom set.

Here is a photo of both cards...

Here is the photo of the "Trust In Him" card.

Last week, my card used the same sentiment, so I was reluctant to use it again. Oh well, were having fun showcasing all of Claire's awesome stamps right???

Here are the supplies that I used to make the card:

Card Dimensions: 4 x 4

Card Stock: Whisper White & Basic Black (Stampin' Up)

Stamps: Words of Wisdom & Fancy Phrases (Waltzing Mouse Stamps)

Ink: Archival Ink (Ranger)

Dies: Lattice Pendant Die (Spellbinders)

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed the cards.

Have a great day and I hope you have time to stop again!!!
