Creation Station: Catalog Sketches


It's the first Sunday of the month, and that means it's time for the Creation Station Design Team hop! This month, we are choosing a card sketch from a current catalog to create our projects. I've chosen a sketch from the Annual Catalog. 
 

 


My card uses a few products that I just can't stop using! I've created my watercolor piece with Stampin' Write Markers - Melon Mambo, Azure Afternoon, and Berry Burst. I added a piece of gingham paper from the Cute as a Bee Designer Series Paper pack, some Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins, and the Starstruck Embossing Folder for some texture in the background. The sentiment and heart come from the With You in Mind stamp set. 
 
 
Here is a full list of products used on the card:
Stamps: With You in Mind
Ink: Versamark
Stampin' Write Markers: Azure Afternoon, Berry Burst, Melon Mambo
Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Basic Black, Watercolor Paper, Cute as Can Bee DSP
Embellishments: Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins, Baker's Twine Essentials Pack
Tools: Stampin' Spritzer, Basics Wow! Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Starstruck Embossing Folder, Nested Essentials Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots
 
I hope you'll hop along and see what the rest of the team has created. Our catalog sketches are sure to inspire you!
 
Happy Stamping!

#TGIFC509: Love You More than Coffee

Hello, and happy Wednesday! Today's card is such a fun one. It was inspired by the theme challenge at TGIF Challenges this week.
 

I wanted to highlight the Stampin' Write Markers that are part of the starter kit offer during Sale-a-bration, and after seeing the theme graphic, I had to pair them with the More than Autumn Bundle. It was a match made in heaven!
 

I've used the Stampin' Write Markers in three ways on this card:
  1. I used the brush end of the marker and colored on my Clear Block E with three different colors from the Brights Collection - Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo, and Berry Burst. Then I spritzed the block with my Stampin' Spritzer, and laid a piece of Watercolor Paper over the top. This created the background for my card.
  2. Once the background was dry, I flicked the brush end of my Berry Burst Marker against it's lid to get some subtle speckles in the background.
  3. Finally, I used the Berry Burst Marker to color the hearts on my coffee cups.
 

Here is a full list of products used:
Stamps: More than Autumn
Ink: Memento Black, Versamark
Stampin' Write Markers: Berry Burst, Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo
Paper: Crumb Cake, Berry Burst, Basic Black, Basic White, Watercolor Paper
Embellishments: Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins
Tools: Basics Wow! Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Stampin' Spritzer, More than Autumn Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Adhesive Sheets
 

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope this card inspires you to get out your markers and give one of these techniques a try!
 
Happy Stamping!
