Warmest Wishes–Catered Crop Finale: Anything Goes!

Well, here we are at the very last Catered Crop Recipe Challenge. I’ve had a blast designing with this team and I’m wishing Linda all of the wonderful things that life holds for her in the future. Love you, girl!!

Today’s challenge is Anything Goes! So I hope you will play along and give the Catered Crop Challenge a fine send-off! I inked up a set I didn’t get around to during release last week—BB Warmest Wishes. What a fun image to color it is! I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, then added a panel of Sweet Tooth card stock stamped with Sweater Stitch Background and Bubblegum dye ink, at an angle. Next is a panel of Grout Gray card stock stamped with the snowflake image from the set, stamped with Sweet Tooth pigment ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder, popped up on foam. Next is the image, cut with BB Warmest Wishes Die-namics and stamped with the coordinating image, then colored with Copic markers, also popped up on foam. The sentiment was stamped on a strip of Black Licorice card stock with Sweet Tooth pigment ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder, as well. A Let It Snowflake Die-namics glitter snowflake, and Bubblegum button, and some silver cord finish it off.

Another sentiment from the set was stamped on the inside with Black Licorice hybrid ink, along with more snowflakes, stamped with Grout Gray dye ink.



And that’s all I have. Thanks so much for stopping by! See you soon!

Thankful For You–Catered Crop Recipe Challenge

It’s time for another Catered Crop Recipe Challenge and this week. Here’s the challenge, in Linda’s own words:

“We’re taking an attitude of gratitude. For this challenge just make a thank you card for any occasion, or, since its the season of thanks, make a Thanksgiving card. We’ll be grateful for it all!

Here’s a Pinterest board to jump start your creativity: Thank You Kindly.”

As you may have read on Linda’s blog, Linda feels that Catered Crop has run it’s course and will end after the next challenge. While it makes me sad, I’m tickled pink that she is enjoying her retirement so much and has moved on to other wonderful things. We all should strive to grow in our lives and she is doing just that--you go, girl! Thank you for allowing me to play along with this fabulous team for this past (almost) year—love you tons!

OK, on to my card. I started with a Kraft card stock base. Then, on a piece of SU! watercolor paper using Scattered Bars stencil, I colored randomly with Tangy Orange dye ink, Safety Orange dye ink, Jellybean Green dye ink, and Kraft dye ink. (I have a video showing the technique HERE if you want to see.)

I trimmed it at an angle, added a narrow strip of Jellybean Green card stock, and popped it up on a piece of Primitive White card stock, after tying around some hemp cord. All that was then adhered to the card base, then I added a sentiment from Words of Gratitude Die-namics, cut from Tangy Orange card stock. I finished off with some gold glittery enamel dots.

Another sentiment, from Sending Thanks was stamped on the inside with Kraft dye ink.




And that’s it! Thanks for stopping by! Hope to see you playing with us in the Catered Crop Recipe Swap! See you soon!

Catered Crop Recipe Challenge–Black and White Stripes Inspiration

It’s time for another Catered Crop Challenge and this time Linda has an inspiration piece for us. For this challenge you can celebrate the sport of football and/or take direct inspiration from this picture. As always, Linda has a Pinterest board to help you here: End Zone. It’s all about the black and white stripes, but don’t let that limit you. Interpret the challenge anyway you like.


The inspiration piece is all about football, but since I couldn’t care less about football (don’t hate, LOL!) I went with the black and white focus with some red for accent.

My card started with a Black Licorice card stock base, then I went to town on a piece of Grout Gray card stock. I stamped it lightly with Typewriter Text Background, Fine Chevron Background, Striped Backgrounds, and You’ve Got Mail stamp set. I sponged the edges with Steel Gray ink and popped it up on foam on the base. Next, I added a Black Licorice card stock tree, cut with Spooky Scene Die-namics and added a couple of red birds cut with Centerpieces Framed Lovebirds Die-namics from Wild Cherry card stock. The first part of the sentiment was stamped on a piece of Sweet Tooth card stock with Black Licorice ink and part of a sentiment from PI Holiday Hugs Snowman and finished with a die cut “joy” using Peace, Love, Joy Die-namics, which was popped up on foam.

A sentiment from PI Christmas Banner was stamped on the inside.




And that’s it! Thanks for stopping by! Hope to see you playing with us in the Catered Crop Recipe Swap! See you soon!
