Card Sketch Patterns 83

Hi today I have a card for you using the newly released Broomstick Stella (415H) from DRS Designs. We are sponsoring the Card Patterns Sketch #83.

"By Invitation Only"
Is a new stamping contest
that's won before a
card is ever stamped!
But, as the name implies
you have to be invited to play.

How, you ask?? It's simple!

We all have stamping friends
that impress us with every card
they make. It's your job to
nominate them!! Email us the link
to their blog, website or gallery
and we'll check them out
and see if we agree with you!!

If we do, we'll invite them
to choose 1 to 3 unmounted
stamps from the online collection.
To complete the contest,
they will stamp a card using
the chosen designs, post it to
their blog or gallery and send
it to DRS Designs.

Once our invitation is accepted
they will receive a cool
blinkie for their blog and
they'll also be qualified for our
Sunday Stamper blog post on the DRS Designs Blog,
where we'll feature one
outstanding card every week!

So.....
spread the word....
search the blogs.....
and send your nominations to:
invite@drsdesigns.com

Bringing Home the Tree

I just love this image from Victorine Originals. I had fun coloring it with copics. You can't tell from the photo, but I did airbrush the background. DP is October Afternoon Good Cheer. I hope you have a Wacky Word Wednesday, I know I will at school and tonight is Open House!
The weather here in New England has been warm and balmy, but I know the snow is soon to come...

Lord of the Harvest

Good morning! Happy Fall Y'All. Today I have a card for you using this fabulous digi stamp from Sugar Creek Hollow. I had a lot of fun coloring the pumpkins with copics. I airbrushed the background and cut it out with my Label 8 nestie. I added some Tattered Flowers from the Tim Holtz die, a MS border and a silk bow and a lot of bling!

Witching you a Happy Halloween

Today I have a card for you, using the new set Witching You a Happy Halloween from Flourishes. I took the witch's leg and stamped and then mirror imaged the leg to get it to turn the other way. I placed the hat on top of the legs and there you have it. A bit of copic coloring. MS border punches. DP is Nikki Sivils Boo-tiful. I just can't stop making these Halloween cards!

Thank you for stopping by and please remember DRS is doing Operation Write Home helping heroes keep in touch with Home! Thanks for stopping by.

Thanksgiving Wishes

Happy Tuesday, today I have another card for you from Sugar Creek Hollow using one of the new fall digi images! I switched my focal point from a another card and added the Thanksgiving Wishes sentiment. It is always a good idea to stop and think what are you thankful for?

Gina K DesignTeam Challenge

What's your favorite fall memory?

Gina K asked us to create a project based on our favorite fall memory. One of the lucky participants will enjoy a prize package of Gina K. Designs stamps from their upcoming release and will be invited to join them on Center Stage to create projects for their preview party, release party and blog hops this month! The competition is great, but I am keeping my fingers crossed that she notices this card!
My favorite fall memory is taking a drive to the country with my dad. Growing up in New York City, a trip to the country was a special time. I was always in awe of the beautiful colors and I still appreciate the beauty of fall. Now, I can enjoy those colors right in my backyard as I now live in NH. A childhood memory that I can now relive every fall!

For the details of my card I used the tree in the forefront to highlight the changing leaves and dotted red, yellow, orange and green copics to capture the beauty of the landscape. I masked the tree scene and added the barn in the background. Stamps used were Theresa Momber's Farm Life and Nina Brackett's Fanciful Tags.

Thanks for stopping by and get out there and enjoy the landscape. It is awesome!

Thank You Berry Much

I made this card for the red, black and cream color challenge on Sugar Creek Hollow. Look at the adorable Jelly Jar set. Check out some of the other talented designers to see what they have created.

New Design Team

Today I have a card for you from Victorine Originals. Vicki has asked me to join her design team and I am thrilled. Check out her awesome stamps. For this card I have used The Pumpkin Patch (2591-H).
I colored the scene with copics and airbrushed the background. DP is Imaginisce Apple Cider. I added some orange corduroy buttons. I cut out the scene with a new Nestability Label 15.

Jingle All the Way

Today I have a card for the 365 Day challenge which was to use this sketch and to incorporate 4 different stamps. I have the Jingle All the Way Sentiment (308E), the Giga Oval Holly (166K)and the Bells background (352H)(stamped twice in two different colors).
Then I added a fourth stamp the Single Jingle Bell (347C). So there you have four different DRS Design newly released stamps and the sketch challenge!

Add a Pumpkin Face

Okay, yes it is another Halloween card from Sugar Creek Hollow: Add a Pumpkin Face. Broken Fence is a MS border punch. I used my pumpkin nestie and created the background. Black lace completes the scene.

Happy 1st Birthday Paxton

Hope these photos put a smile on your face!

More Halloween

I have really been into Halloween this year. I have been buying ribbon and embellies. This card I used the digi tree and Curly Crow from Sugar Creek Hollow. I popped up the Spellbinders graveyard border. Added some orange ribbon and there you have it a spooky scene.

Fall Pumpkins

For this card I used the Baby Jacks Basket Digi Stamp and the Fall Bingo Card from Sugar Creek Hollow. I colored the pumpkins and basket with copics. DP is Imaginicse Apple Cider. I added some fall leaves and a flower. New Spellbinders Wonky Squares to cut out the basket and cs. Thanks for stopping by today and enjoy your weekend.

Jingle Bells...

Hi, it's Joni here with another Christmas card using the newly released Jingle Bells Sentiment (356G) from DRS Designs. I kept this card clean and simple. I added some silver fringe trim
(say that three times fast, hehhehe) and wired silver ribbon for accents. CS is Bazzill textured white. I cut out the sentiment with a nestie and layered it on silver cs. This could be an easy way to mass produce all of your Christmas cards and get a jump start on the holiday!

Jolly Happy Soul

Today I have a card for you from Our Craft Lounge. This is the Be Jolly stamp set. I stamped the image with Black Memento ink and colored it with copics. I added some Ranger glitter to the tree and ground and topped off the card with some ribbon and a bow.

Jingle All The Way

I made this card using the newly released Jingle all the Way (308E), Holly Giga Oval (166K) and Jingle Bells Background (352H) from DRS Designs. Since ruffled ribbons are all the rage, I tried ruffling my own feathers, I mean ribbon! Check out Operation Write Home to help heroes keep in touch with home.

Hope Today

I designed this card using a single stamp from Creative Clear Stamps called Today You Wish. DP is Cosmo Cricket Togetherness.

Scary Spider

For my card I have used the newly released spider quilt set from Sugar Creek Hollow! I applied Diamond Dust glitter to the spider and cut him out and popped him up on the spider web which I printed on purple cs. Spider web border is a punch. I added black lace and black crinkle paper with a brad for embellies! Below is a close up of the spider.

We are just a few weeks away to the official start of fall. To celebrate, we are kicking off the season today at Sugar Creek Hollow with some fantastic Fall Digis and a Brand New Design Team. Come take a look at who's is in the team. They have some great cards to show you using the latest digis. Then, make sure to visit the store to purchase any of these great digis. We even have some Vintage gift ideas you can purchase.

It's official and our design team has been chosen. Help me welcome these ladies to Sugar Creek Hollow.
