BBQ Invitation

Hello and Happy Tuesday to you all!  Hope you're having a great week thus far.  

The challenge theme this week on the DRS Designs Blog is Summer.  The first thing that came to mind for me is a BBQ.  We have people over our house for them all the time during the warm Summer months.  

I created this card for the challenge using stamps from DRS Designs, which include:

Grilling Guy (820K)

Vertical You're Invited (087D)

Lines O'Plenty Background (366H)

Check out all the challenge details HERE and link your card to win free stuff from DRS Designs.  

Thanks for stoppin' in!

Come Visit For A Spell!

Are you going to have a Halloween party and get all dressed up this year? Well, I invite you to think about using DRS Designs new Halloween Party invite stamp (399M) when making your invitations!

Here's one I made to show it off. I used the Criss Cross Card tutorial on Splitcoast to make it. I decorated the card holder using the Empty Spider Web(329G), the new Eeeeek Background (402H), and the Spooky Eyes Background (647H).

The coolest part about using the Eeeeek Background and Spooky eyes Background together is that they inter lock and you can stamp one right over top of the other and they fit perfectly together. You can see this on the front of my criss cross card and just how well they match since I stamped them in 2 different colors.

The invitation inside was colored with Copic Markers and I used Martha Stewart's Spider Web punch to decorate the edges.

The band was decorated with the new Broomstick Stella (415H) image. I colored her with Copic Markers. The sentiment I added is the small Halloween Greeting (042A).

I really had a lot of fun making this invitation! Now, if only the costume I'm making for the party this year could come out looking just as great, I'll be all set!

Thanks for stopping by!

You're Invited!

How about this for your Summer BBQ invites? 

I created this card a while ago for a magazine submission call but it wasn't selected for publication :-( .  The BBQ image, the Grass Blades, and the "You're Invited" sentiment (D087) are by DRS Designs. 

This invitation was pretty simple to make.  I stamped the Brush BBQ Grill (H021) on white cardstock so that it was off-centered.  I used the masking technique to create the horizon, sponging the sky blue, and ground with olive green ink.  Then I used the Easy Grass Background (E059) to add in the grass blades.  I used pencil to draw in the steam coming from the grill, and embellished the upper portion of the image with red and white plaid ribbon with a single staple.

For some added dimension, I adhered the grill with foam tape. 

Hope you all enjoy your BBQ's this holiday weekend.

Happy 4th of July to all my American Followers!
