Behind Closed Doors
Whew, it's done! I've been working on putting this together since last night and thankfully, I am DONE! I made this card for this week's TSG challenge which is to create a Stair Step card. I knew what I wanted to create but I didn't have enough 'steps' so I created my own tutorial to create a four 'step' card instead of the traditional three step.
Not only that but I created .pdf files of the 3 part tutorial as well as printouts for the hardwood floor panels, doorway panel and the kitchen panel! Just print them out, trim, and adhere to your card panel! The hard work is done for you so all you have to do is have fun putting your scene together :)
I am working on uploading all of the files to the Behind Closed Doors album located on the TSG Gallery. I still need to add two more files but am having a heck of a time trying to make the files small enough to upload. Grrr....
I have some pictures posted of the tutorials below so you can check them out :)
Here is the front view of my card-

TSG59: Worn, torn, and distressed
Happy Hump Day! This card was made for this week's TSG challenge which is brought to us by our Trendsetter of the week, Sandra. She has challenged us to make our cards look worn, torn and distressed. Usually when I think of this technique, I picture vintage/shabby cards in neutrals. I wanted to make a fun card that was both distressed but still bright.
* Card base is made out of Chocolate chip
* The blue/polka dot paper is double sided DP by American Crafts
* I embossed the blue with an embossing folder, distressed edges, sanded & stitched
* I cut a strip of the DP, polka dot face up, distressed edges, pleated the paper a bit and stitched up the center to hold in place.
* For the word layer I stamped the sentiment from the mini set Dance multiple times lightly, rounded corners, distressed edges & stitched.
* Flowers were stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black onto 140lb watercolor paper, watercolored with reinkers and paintbrushes, cut out, layered. Added an adhesive pearl to the center.
* The leaves were stamped in Kiwi Kiss onto white CS
* Sentiment (from Everyday Greetings mini set) was stamped onto SU DP in Chocolate Chip, punched out with SU punch and lightly sponged to help edges to stand out
* Made a 'tab' out of ribbon and adhered behind flowers.

Father's Day Sketch
Happy Hump day! I know that I'm getting this post up a little late but like most of my projects, this card took a little longer than I had anticipated to finish :) This card was made for this week's sketch challenge over at SCS. I am so happy with the way that it turned out that this is going to be the card that I give Matt for Father's Day.
All images are from the new set Dadisms, stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black, colored with colored pencils and blended with OMS. There is a lot of layering going on in this scene but that's just how I roll :-D Some of the images (the curtains, lamp shade, chair, shirt & pants) were stamped onto various designer papers, cut out and paper pieced onto the image. I then used colored pencils to shade. All of the panels were stitched with my sewing machine to add more texture.
Although making these types of cards tends to be labor intensive, they are my favorite to create! To me it feels like I'm actually creating a piece of art instead of just making a card :)
Card supplies:
Stamps- Dadisms
Ink- Momento Tuxedo Black
Paper- Kraft, Very Vanilla, various DP
Accessories- Prismacolor pencils, embossing folder, scallop corner punch, sewing machine, dimensionals, adhesive pearls, Nestabilities
