Tuesday Throwdown Challenge #420 with Sweet n Sassy

It's been a month since I've posted a design team card for Tuesday Throwdown Challenge, having had a little break for Thanksgiving.  To make up for it, I'm using two cute digital images from Sweet n Sassy Stamps, our wonderful sponsor this week, and sharing two cards with you.  The Tuesday Throwdown Challenge theme is Anything Goes, so please come join the fun.

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge #415 with Newton's Nook

  There's a new challenge starting at Tuesday Throwdown Challenge today.

The theme for this challenge is Crazy Circles.

With Halloween just a week away and Thanksgiving not long after that, I thought I'd make cards for each occasion using the Pick a Pumpkin stamp set and the Simply Seasonal sentiment stamp set available at the  

  Newton's Nook Designs store. 

 

The baker's twine also came from Newton's Nook, nicely wrapped around my order.

I hope you'll enjoy all the wonderful cards featuring Newton's Nook Designs made by Team B for this week's  Tuesday Throwdown Challenge.  When you get a moment, be sure to take a look at the wonderful stamps and coordinating dies at the Newton's Nook Designs Shop and stop by their blog for some great ideas and to play in the Inky Paws Challenge.

My Time to Craft Challenge #382 - Halloween or Cats

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge #413 - Anything Goes

It's time to make my annual Halloween Birthday Card for my daughter-in-law.  And since this week's Tuesday Throwdown Challenge is Anything Goes, I decided to make it a bit early and use it as my design team card.

 

I've used washi tape, glitter tape, and a scalloped punched border to dress up an otherwise CAS card.  The die cut circle is from a small scrap sheet of dp mounted on a punched scalloped circle.  The sentiment is from a freebie stamp set.  And the orange pearls were

originally white before being colored with a marker.

What are you working on this week?

We'd love to see you share it with us at

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge.

Anything Goes!

I am entering this card in a two of my favorite challenges.....

Always Happy Birthday October Challenge - Birthday Anything Goes

and

A Perfect Time to Craft October Challenge - Anything Goes

Have a great day!

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge #409 with Sparkle n Sprinkle

It was so nice of Sparkle n Sprinkle to sponsor

 Tuesday Throwdown's One Layer Card Challenge this week.

I hope you'll be able to play along. 

Sparkle n Sprinkle has a great selection of stamps, both rubber and digital, glitter, embossing powders, cutting files, all your necessary supplies, and more.  You'll definitely want to visit their store, blog and fb page.

 Today I used a colored image and a sentiment from the Hummingbirds and Flowers Digital Stamp Set provided by SNS for our design team to use.

Making a one layer card was definitely a challenge for me.

I never make one layer cards.

And I don't think I ever made one using digital stamps.

It really wasn't that hard.

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge #405 with Fred She Said Stamps

Tuesday Throwdown is a sketch challenge this week, 

one of my favorite types of challenge.

And our sponsor is Fred She Said, another of my favorites.  

They very generously gave everyone on the design team one of their digi stamps for our projects this week.  I chose the Kitty & the Ornament digital stamp.  It comes colored and uncolored and with or without a bow.  

For my first card I used the colored version with the bow.

Isn't this kitty adorable?

Here's a second card, also the colored version, except I added some color to the cat's fur so it would look better with the gold tones of the paper I wanted to use.

Here's the sketch you need to follow to join in the fun at Tuesday Throwdown Challenge  this week:

 

My Tuesday Throwdown Team B teamies all made fabulous cards using a variety of digis to inspire you to enter this week's challenge and stop by Fred She Said to see their wonderful images.

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge #401 with Kitty Bee Designs

Today a new challenge begins at Tuesday Throwdown.  

Our wonderful sponsor, Kitty Bee Designs, has supplied two cute digi stamps for Team B to use for this week's 

Stitching, Real or Faux, Challenge.
I just couldn't resist trying them both.

My first card features the Panda Trike digi from Kitty Bee Designs.  I used a stitched die and also pierced 3 sides of the black mat before connecting the holes with a glitter pen to give the appearance of thread.

For my second card I used stitched dies and added just a bit of real stitching in the corners of this birthday card featuring Jazz Cats.

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge #393 with Sparkle n Sprinkle

When my hubby and I were married, 36 years ago today, I carried soft peach and cream roses in my bouquet.  

Knowing that I would be posting this card on our anniversary, 

when this week's Tuesday Throwdown sponsor,

Sparkle N Sprinkle, 

gifted the Tuesday Throwdown Design Team members with an image, I chose the Christmas Candles Digital Stamp Set to make this anniversary card. 

 

We are playing Tic Tac Toe this week at the 

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge.

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge #391 with Sweet n Sassy

This week we are making shaped cards for the 

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge. 

My DH and I attend a lot of soccer games to watch our grandson.  At this time of year, the soccer moms are wearing their pretty boots to walk in the often wet grass.

That was my inspiration for this shaped card featuring the

tulips digital stamp from Sweet n Sassy, our sponsor this month.

 

This is a top fold card.  The tulips were printed directly on the yellow paper.  After coloring them with markers, I put a piece of  gold foil adhesive over top for an easy shiny, glittery effect, before adhering the red border.


  

Sweet'n Sassy Stamps is a small, family-owned, Christian company offering exclusive images,designs and sentiments in both clear and digital stamps. They also carry a small number of exclusive die designs, some of which coordinate with their stamps. A wonderful Bible Journaling line of stamps is also available.

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge #389 with CraftyGirl Creations

Here's something to crow about .....

This week's Tuesday Throwdown Challenge is an  

Anything Goes Challenge,

and it is sponsored by one of our own Design Team members, Crafty Girl Creations, who very generously gave us digis to work with this week.

I'm also crowing because I chose an adorable rooster digi.

He was so much fun to color.

Most of the cards I make are for children.

Aren't these fun...

 I was thinking of my 13 year old grandson when I made this card.  He called us the other evening to proudly tell us he was chosen for the 7th grade baseball team, no small feat considering the size of his school and the number of kids that tryout!

Please hop on over to the Tuesday Throwdown Challenge blog to see the other cards made by our fabulous  design team.

They'd be so happy if you also visited their individual blogs and left them some love.

And don't forget to take a look at CraftyGirl Creations, too.

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge #387 with The Cutting Cafe

It was really hard choosing a digital stamp set from The Cutting Cafe to use for my Tuesday Throwdown Challenge DT card this week.  There are so many digital stamps from which to choose. After deciding to use the One Spring Day set, picking which image and sentiment in the set was almost as difficult.

Here is my take on the current theme at 

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge - Creative Corners.  

 First, a layout with lots of corners and a die cut with interesting faux stitching;  Next a few dazzles on three of the corners; Two tiny punched butterflies decorate the bottom corners below the sentiment (also from the One Spring Day set); and the flower border from the set draws your eye to the bottom right corner. 

 Here is a close up of that corner.  After printing and coloring the border, I carefully added a strip of glittered clear adhesive over the row of flowers and then fussy cut before attaching it to the card.

I have seen some absolutely fabulous Creative Corners in challenges, on blogs, in magazines and on Pinterest.  Now's the time to show off your talent by entering this week's
Tuesday Throwdown Challenge,

and don't forget to take a moment to visit the shop at 

The Cutting Cafe

 

where you'll find both digital stamps and cutting files.
