Two-fer Card Challenge: Leaves

It's time again for a Two-fer Challenge: Leaves!

Honestly, what's better than one card for a challenge? 2, of course!

Love playing along with Darnell and the talented crew at the Two-fer blog!

2 cards, 2 different occasions, 1 image used 2 ways.

Concord and 9th's Thankful Leaves dies provided the window for my shaker.

Lindy's Stamp Gang Autumn Mix powders

Thankful Leaves Turnabout: Sentiment (C9)

That's copper embossing powder embossed onto heat resistant acetate.

And my 2nd card is a birthday card.

The 2nd card also used the leaf die from C9, but this time with the veins in place.

Glittered by adding packing tape to the back of the die and pressing glitter onto the top of 

the die. 

The pattern paper was a leftover piece made with C9's Turnabout, with some added

copic coloring. I embossed the tips of the leaves, and the stamped panel with 

copper embossing powder. Also copper embossed the sentiment (PTI's Initial Thoughts)

You have until Sept. 24 to play along, and there's lots on inspiration

from the team.

Have a wonderful week of crafty goodness!

Twofer Card Challenge #9

Two-fer Challenge #6 ~ Trees!

I'm so excited to be playing along at the latest Two-fer Challenge. It's Darnell's brain

child, where we're challenged to use the same stamp (or die) 2 different ways and 

create 2 different cards for 2 different occasions.

This month's key word is 'Trees'. 

I chose a die set from Frantic Stampers called, Lollipop Trees.

1st card:

I used my lollipop trees the traditional way, and set them in a window created with 

MFT's Jumbo Peek-a-Boo Circle die. Then framed the window with PTI's

Coverplate: Nesting. 

Have you ever worked with Lindy's Stamp Gang's Magicals? 

It comes in powder form, and when you apply water, the effect is well, magical!

The trees are die cut from a panel I made from 'hi Maintenance Magenta.'

Tree trunks cut from a wood look washi tape.

2nd Card:

On a PTI tag, I made the 'tree' into a triple ice cream cone, with lots of sprinkles. 

The cone is from PTI's Colorful Treats. 

Those cute little sprinkles are actually from a PTI die!

Below is a list of supplies I used.

The First Ever 'Twofer Card Challenge #1

I'm excited to be playing along at the Very First Ever 'Twofer Card Challenge', 

which just happens to be the brainchild of Darnell Krauss of djkardcreations.com.

Our challenge is to create 2 cards using one stamp, with a 'feather' theme.

Here's my 'twofer'

With the feathers and sentiment from Clearly Besotted: Fancy Feathers,

my 1st card could be for a special announcement.

My pink inks are the closest to happy brights as I could get, with

Tim Holtz' Distress Oxides: Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry,

Abandoned Coral & Candied Apple.

PTI Cardstock, Tag Sale #8 & Vellum.

Card 2

Same feathers from the Fancy Feathers set, this time a sympathy card.

White embossed and watercolored 

Banner: PTI's Stemmed Statements

Cardstock: PTI

Watercolor paper:Arches Coldpress

2 cards, same stampset. Brilliant challenge!
