Make the Sentiment the Star Inspiration with Samantha!

- Nancy Krueger 2 Comments

Samantha cleverly spelled out hello on a card featuring Smooth Sailing for our Make the Sentiment the Star challenge!

Samantha set the scene by inking the Stitched Wave Borders with Distress ink in Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers. The images from Smooth Sailing and the letters from Quinn’s ABCs were colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and cut out by hand.

To give the sentiment the starring role, Samantha popped up letters to spell hello on 2 of the sailboats. The she white heat-embossed the rest of the greeting on a vellum Fancy Wavy Banner!

Thanks for sharing this beautiful card with us today, Samantha! It’s such a fun and creative take on the challenge theme!

This challenge is open for another week and a half so you have plenty of time to challenge yourself to Make the Sentiment the Star of your next project!

Happy crafting!

Jenn’s Bright Summertime Fun Card

- Nancy Krueger 3 Comments

Jenn shares an awesome Summertime Fun card to inspire your weekend crafting! The Summertime Fun challenge wraps up on Sunday, August 2 at 11:59PM ET. There’s still time to enter!

Jenn combined I Scream You Scream with Stitched Rainbow to create some fun summertime treats! Her awesome watermelon uses just three “bows” and half of a circle inked up in pretty pink inks! Those shiny watermelon seeds are the smiley face “cheeks” included in the Stitched Rainbow die set. They are cut from Black Licorice cardstock and coated with Glossy Accents; such a clever detail!

This popsicle looks so yummy! Jenn ink blended summery colors, then kicked up the fun with Tim Holtz Rock Candy glitter and more Glossy Accents!

The greeting is a combination of Big Scripty Words and Quinn’s ABCs! She stamped the large Quinn’s letters in Sunflower ink and filled them in with Prisma Glitter!

Thanks so much, Jenn, for sharing this super happy design filled with favorite summer treats!

A new challenge starts on Monday, August 3 with amazing Design Team inspiration!

Have a happy, crafty weekend Fawnatics friends!
