November Stamp Club Challenge Card

Hello crafty people

Tuesday night was the monthly stamp club gathering
 at my house and we had a great time as always.

Last month we were given a challenge piece offered a lot of possibilities.

Each of us were given a bag of goodies and we were to use anything in the bag to use on our challenge card. 

Here is what was in the bag. Lots of stuff........ for sure

There are felt tags, a stamp, fabric tape, duct tape and some ribbon all in that bag.

We could use 1 thing or whatever we wanted from this stash, on our card.

I am not a CAS card maker 
but I decided to use that David Tutera fabric tape 
and that stamp and make a CAS card.

Here is the finished card.

I only used 2 items from that great bag of goodies. 

The center horizontal pinkish piece is the David Tutera fabric tape

 and I also used the stamp. 

The rest of the vertical and horizontal pieces
 on this card are washi tape from my own stash. 

I wove these together and added my stamped image.

How I did my fabric/washi tape -

I attached the tapes onto cardstock in strips. 

Next I cut the strips apart right along the edges of the tape. 

Then I decided the lengths I wanted to use and cut the lengths. 

Then I notched the ends. 

I then wove the pieces and used tape on the backside 

and attached this piece to the card.

I stamped the words onto CS, cut it into a rectangle 

and inked the edges and attached it to the card front and I was done.

The tape is bright and cheerful 

and this design would make a great birthday card 

and I am sure you could come up with other themes as well

Instead of Washi tape you could also use printed paper scraps. 

And we all save every last piece of paper, don't we. LOL

I know I do. 

Well that is it for now. Hope you have a crafty weekend

I will be back soon 

 

Crafty Creations Challenge #319 - CIean and Simple

Hi there

Crafty Creations Challenges #319 starts today and the theme is Clean and Simple. 

Now that theme is definitely not my forte, but I decided this image from Beccy's Place (this month's sponsor) would be perfect for a CAS card. 

I used Old Mailbox.

Please take a few minutes to check out the images over at Beccy's Place. There are a lot of super images and I am sure you will find just what you are looking for.

As I colored this image I was wondering what sentiment to use and then it hit me, since this mailbox was so old and falling apart there had been no mail delivered for a long time.  

So that's why I used the sentiment I did.

In coloring this image, I used my colored pencils and gamsol to do the blending. I added some brown to show some rust and some gray on the wood beams to show a weathered look. 

Hope you like my version of a CAS card.

LET ME SHARE WITH YOU THE I SUPPLIES USED ON MY PROJECT
