Naki and Nina's Double Dare Challenge 7

Hey there! Are you ready for another Double Dare Challenge!? Before I start, let me share the exciting news about Naki's card last week... It was a CAS Favorite at Split Coast Stampers! Hooray for Naki! :) Now on to this week's picks...

Naki picked the Twitterpated DSP.

My pick was to use a button.



Here's my card for this week's challenge:

Here are the DEEtails:

I love love love this neat little pattern from the Twitterpated DSP. I decided to use it in the background of my card and punched the Blossom on a piece of Island Indigo card stock. I adhered it to my card with some Stampin' Dimensionals and added a Boho Blossom and Real Red button. I attached the sentiment from Friendly Phrases on some Whisper White card stock, then added some layers along the edge of the card - Whisper White punched with with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border and Cherry Cobble punched with the Scallop Edge Border, backed with a strip of Island Indigo.

Now go visit Naki and see what she came up with. Then get out some Twitterpated DSP and buttons and play along! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Naki and Nina's Double Dare Challenge 6

Time for another Double Dare Challenge! Here are our picks for this week:

Naki picked a fun color combination: Pacific Point, Basic Black, and Whisper White

My pick was to make a birthday card.



Here's my take on the challenge:

DEEtails:

I'm trying to get a head start on birthday cards, since my family has a number of fall birthdays. My baby brother turns 15 soon (um, I hope he's not checking out my blog...) and the bright bold of Pacific Point reminds me of him, so this challenge worked out perfectly! I really wanted some bold black and white patterns, but didn't have anything good in my stash, so I went with some Basic Black DSP. I'm quite enjoying the patterns here. Then I added a piece of zig zag along the edge. I stamped part of the sentiment from the retired Afterthoughts set. Then I die cut some numbers in Pacific Point and added them with some Stampin' Dimensionals. Pretty simple, but I love the boldness. What do you think?

Don't forget to check out Naki's blog and see her take on the challenge. And then create something yourself! What are you waiting for? Link up below! :)

Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge

Hi there! Today's Pals Paper Arts card is bold, fresh, and fun, using another fabulous sketch challenge from Ms. Margaret Moody! What will you create with this sketch?

DEEtails:

I started with creating this beautiful bloom. I punched some 1 1/4" scalloped circles and layered them over some Fun Flowers die cut in Raspberry Ripple and Primrose Petals. The center of my flower features a cute Summer Starfruit Dahlia. I loved the bold design of the DSP from Patio Party for this card and added some additional strips of DSP to finish things off. So simple, but I love the boldness of the flower and pattered papers.

I hope you'll join along in this week's fun! Hop on over to Pals Paper Arts to see what the rest of the Design Team created and link up your creation! I can't wait to see what you make! :)
