Monday Lunchtime Challenge/LNS Challenge

I have 2 challenges for this post this morning.  The first challenge is this week's Monday Lunchtime Techno Stamper Challenge, and below is this week's sketch.  When you are finished with your card, you can load it HERE.

I used the stamp set, Secret Garden, for my card and paired with it Venetian Romance DSP.  I used the Expressions Thinlits Dies for the "love" expressions, and find that layering a piece of wax paper first between the c/s and die helps to get the c/s out of the die.  Below is a list of what I used.

Stamps: Secret Garden
Inks: Tangerine Tango, Soft Suede
Papers: Very Vanilla, Tangerine Tango, Pistachio Pudding, Soft Suede, Venetian Romance DSP
Accessories: Big Shot, Expressions Thinlits Die, Secret Gardens Framelits, Bird Punch, Pearls, Distressing Tool, Mini-Glue Dots, Dimensionals

LNS Challenge

We have a fun 2-week challenge for you over at the LNS blog.  The theme for this challenge is "Fall into Fall", and nothing says fall like pumpkins!  The pumpkin I created is actually a case from one I saw on Julie Davidson's blog.  Julie has a great tutorial as well as to how she created her pumpkin, and you can find the link to her blog HERE.

When you are finished with your fall creation, you can simply load it HERE

And here is my pumpkin......

Techno Stamper Monday Challenge

Happy Monday morning!  I had a busy weekend as my son's football team had their annual mulch sale.  I wasn't sure if I would be able to get my card for this week's challenge, but am glad I was able to squeeze in some stamping time!

Another great sketch this week!  We would love to see what you have created using the sketch below.  When you are finished, you can load your creation HERE.



I decided to go with Rich Razzleberry for my main color, and used some SAB Sycamore Street DSP I had left over.  I stamped the flower from Secret Garden 3 times with Rich Razzleberry and then cut out different sections and layered them to give the card some depth.  Here's a list of what I used:

Stamps: Secret Garden, Itty Bitty Banners
Inks: Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive
Papers: Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry, SAB Sycamore Street DSP
Accessories: Big Shot, Secret Garden Framlit Die, Honeycomb EF, Designer Frames EF, Bitty Banner Framelits, White and Rich Razzleberry Brads, Paper Piercing Tool, Dimensionals
