Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge: Picture Perfect

Good Morning! It's time for another Paper Smooches Sparks challenge and this week it is a Picture Perfect challenge!  

Below is the picture we are using as inspiration for this challenge. 

Since the pattern on this sofa is the thing that stands out the most, I knew I wanted to recreate it in some way.  I stamped the buildings from Metropolis on graph paper and then colored in random squares with my W1 Copic marker.  I chose a neutral color for the building pattern so that the whole scene wouldn't get too busy.  I then added color to the windows using several different shades of blue, green, red, orange, and purple.  The sentiment is from Word Salad. 

What will you do with this Picture Perfect challenge?  We would really like to see it!  To play along, head on over to the Paper Smooches Sparks blog and enter the challenge.  The winner gets a $30 credit to the Paper Smooches online store!  Also, don't forget to check out what the other members of the design team made for this challenge!

Deasy Designs Reveal + Giveaway: 'Tis the Season

Welcome to our second reveal post! We are releasing two sets sure to get you in the holiday spirit! Today is the full reveal of our Christmas set, 'Tis the Season! Thank you for all of the sweet comments that you left on my blog yesterday!  You all seemed to like Boo to You.. I think you will like this one just as much!

Introducing 'Tis the Season:

I think the elf and the reindeer in this set are just the cutest!  I also like how you can mix and match the wagon and presents with both images.  Can you see all the possibilities for the tree?  You can color it or paper piece it.  Leave it plain or dress it up with all the fun ornaments included in the set.

For my card, I chose to use the reindeer, wagon, and presents.  I thought it would be fun to create a wintry scene with this little guy, so I paired him with some stickers from Echo Park's Holly Jolly Christmas line. The snow was made using PTI's In the Meadow die.  Once my scene was complete, I realized that I hadn't left much room for a sentiment.  I decided to hide it behind my main panel and now when you pull the tassel at the side of the card, it reveals the sentiment!

Don't forget, both sets will available for purchase at midnight EST TONIGHT over at our store at www.clear.deasydesigns.com!

Welcome to our first reveal post! We are releasing two sets sure to get you in the holiday spirit, both available for purchase at midnight EST on Wednesday, 8/22 over at our store at www.clear.deasydesigns.com! Today is the full reveal of our Halloween set, Boo to You! Check back tomorrow for the full reveal of our other set! 

Introducing Boo to You:

Don't you just love this set?!  Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and I love making cards and projects with a Halloween theme.  This set is perfect for all kinds of Halloween projects because of the variety of images it contains.  I love that it even contains a mustache and two bows so that you can customize the pumpkins and ghosts!  For my card, I chose to work with two of my favorite images from this set-the black cat and the house.  I used my Distress Inks (Broken China, Dusty Concord, and Peeled Paint) to create a night sky and then made a Polaroid shaped card for my spooky scene.  I distressed the edges of my "Polaroid" with PTI's tea dye duo and stamped some spiderwebs along the bottom and sides. The sentiment is by A Muse Artstamps.

Aero Boy

 Good Morning, today I want to share a card with you that I made using the Aero Boy stamp set by

 Deasy Designs.

I used the Movers and Shakers: Sliders die from Papertrey Ink and the little boy in the airplane to make a fun, interactive card.  When you pull on the ribbon, it not only makes the airplane pop up, but it also reveals a hidden sentiment.  I kept the rest on my card very simple so that aero boy would be would be the center of attention!  The sky patterned paper and the text patterned paper are both from October Afternoon.  Also, if you haven't heard, Deasy Designs will be releasing two new clear stamp sets this month.  To see a few sneak peeks head on over to the Deasy Designs blog!  Thanks for stopping by today!

Paper Smooches SPARKS Designer Drafts challenge

Good Morning, it's time for another Paper Smooches Sparks Designer Drafts challenge! 

Here is the sketch we are working with this week:

I immediately thought "banner" when I saw this sketch.  I wanted to use my Hubby and Wifey stamp set, so I used the top of the wine glass to make the half circle banners and added a wedding bell between each banner to make a fun wedding card.  The sentiment is also from the Hubby and Wifey set.  The red twine is sewn on to the card.  I used my We R Memory Keepers Sew Easy tool to get evenly spaced holes.  Then it is a cinch to sew in the pattern.  

 

What comes to your mind when you see this sketch?  We would love to see what you come up with.  For more details and to enter the challenge, head on over to the Paper Smooches Sparks Blog.  The winner of the challenge gets a $30 credit to the Paper Smooches online store!  Don't forget to check out what the other design team members made using this sketch:
