Ever have one of those days where you think you're ahead of the game and you're actually way behind? Went to upload my Techno Stamper Sketch Challenge design team sample and it turns out it was next week's sketch! So, I hustled upstairs and put a card together using the right sketch.

Supplies:

Stamps: For All Things, sentiment from unknown set (could use Teeny Tiny Wishes, but it's a little smaller)

Cardstock: Basic Black,Very Vanilla

Designer Series Paper: Flashback

Ink: Real Red, Daffodil Delight

Here's this week's sketch. Use it to inspire you.

Fall Fest Pumpkins

Here's a quick card I made with the pumpkins from Fall Fest. The sentiment is from For All Things.

Hope you've been having a great week! Thanks for stopping by my blog today.

TSSC 331 - For All Things

Here's my design team sample for this week's Techno Stamper Sketch Challenge. It features the Stampin' Up! stamp set, For All Things.

Supplies:

Stamps: For All Things

Cardstock: Tangelo Twist, Whisper White

Designer Series Paper (DSP): Confetti

Ink: Basic Gray, Crushed Curry, Tangelo Twist, Pistachio Pudding

Punch: Project Life Corner Rounder

Here's how I did the color on the leaves: I started by doing the rock and roll technique. I inked the leaf stamp with Crushed Curry and then rolled it on the Tangelo Twist ink pad. The line between colors was too distinct, so I tapped the stamp again on my Crushed Curry pad to soften it.

Here's this week's sketch. As you can see, I rotated the sketch for my card.

Project Life® by Stampin’ Up! Love Story Card Collection

Today is my 23rd wedding anniversary. I could not have asked for a better partner with whom to share my life!

This video seemed appropriate for the day. Hope you enjoy it!

TSSC 330 - Tap, Tap, Tap

Happy Labor Day! I'd like to say I planned it, but it's just a coincidence that I used the cute set Tap, Tap, Tap for this week's Techno Stamper Sketch Challenge. It seems appropriate, though, since some of us remember actually using a typewriter at work.

One thing I remember about typewriters is that the letters didn't always come out the same crispness and darkness. That's why I used my old Basic Black ink pad. It's been well used and needs replaced, but I keep it around for projects like this. I think it gives authenticity.

 

Also, did you notice I punched the word "hi" out of the Designer Series Paper at the bottom? I liked that I was able to match it to the word in the typewriter.

Supplies:

Stamps: Tap, Tap, Tap

Cardstock: Very Vanilla

Designer Series Paper: Just Add Cake (retired)

Ink: Basic Black

Punch: Decorative Label

Big Shot: Banner Framelits

How many of you remember using typewriters? You can admit it without giving away your age since they hung around into the computer era for things like addressing envelopes and filling out forms. Leave a comment and let me know.
