This week's sketch on the OWH Blog site and Stars & Stamps blog is a fun one. When I was asked if I would make a card sample.. I wasn't sure what I was goign to do with it, then I received a Stampin' UP! order that included an adorable new Birthday set and it was "stamp on!".
Here is the sketch layout I used:
The first card I made uses the birthday set I mentioned. It's called "A Cherry On Top" it's from Stampin' UP and is a new hostess set. The banner was cut out using a new banner die from Stampin' UP! as well:
I stamped the cake topper on card stock vellum and embossed it with clear embossing powder. The cake plate is embossed too. The green ribbon, which is a new ribbon from Stampin' UP! in a color that is sure to be one of my favorites, Gumball Green.
The second card I made uses a sentiment from one of the Hero Arts OWH sets. I bought some Basic Grey paper stacks from Tuesday Morning a few weeks ago.. while flipping through it I see the paper with all the buildings on it and thought to myself that I would use it on a card with this sentiment.. so when I seen the sketch, I realized it was time to put the two together. The clouds are a Memory Box die:
As this posts.. I have 11 days and a wake-up call here in Texas.. I have so many of the $1.00 stamp sets, some others and lots of ribbon. I have toted this stuff around for the last three moves and I've decided to share these with others. There are 60 different stamp sets ~~~ most all are brand new, never inked.. some have been used maybe once ~~~ and lots of ribbon. I will sort all this into 10 groups so there will be 10 WINNERS!!! I will run this through Tuesday at noon MST.. then I will draw 10 names and contact those whose name was drawn. If you are a winner.. please reply back as soon as possible, so I can get your package mailed out to you pronto.
To get your name into the drawing.. please post a comment below with your email address.. you can spell it out like... lucky stampers at gmail dot com
If I find some more goodies to share.. I'll come back and revise this post to reflect the new number of giveaways.... Remember this will run through Tuesday June 5th at noon MST.
Good luck to everybody.
NOTE: I have the crazy wacky word verification turned off.. I do moderate comments ~ only to delete the ones where someone on the web seems to think I need to know where the "hottest" sites are.. haha.. all others are posted and usually right away.
thanks for looking ~
have a great airborne day!
God Bless All Our Military.. each and every one of them

Love your cards and the paper you used. I'll have to visit Tuesday Morning. Thanks for sharing and good luck with your move.
As always, I'm in awe of the detail you put into your cards! I LOVE the bright birthday colors, but it's what you did with the vellum that makes it amazing!
I saw that BasicGray paper and liked it, but couldn't figure out what to use it for. And I even have that stamp set! You have me wishing I'd bought it. (Like I need any more paper, lol.)
While deep in my book deadline cave, I missed you were moving! Where are you going? Hope it all goes smoothly!!! We moved our three rescued dogs 3,000 miles across ten states in nine days in a motorhome last May and I swore I'm never moving again!
Wonderful cards made using this sketch.

Great sample cards, Pam. I came over from the blog to see how you did the candy cover- how neat that you embossed it! You're so sweet to offer to share your supplies and I'd love to be included. kathryn dot belmonte at gmail dot com. Good luck as you finish packing for your move!
Hi Pam, thanks for offering those goodies up, you're very generous! You have a really great eye for color, by the way. I've been cruising your blog and everything you do coordinates so well with every other thing you do! Good Luck on your move! rachelguerrero1740 at yahoo dot com.
Great job with the sketch Pam! I especially love the 1st one & the way you did the dome for the cake platter. My email is krystil @ tonyhamm . com. Thank you for a chance to win some goodies! Good luck with your move!!

Is there special consideration for first responders? what about first responders from MICHIGAN? LOL
Congratulations on being the guest designer for this week's sketch - both cards are adorable!
Maybe this year we can meet for lunch on your way to the UP, eh? :D
When you draw my name be sure to send me your favorite collection, because you know we have the same tastes! LOL

I love what you did with the sketches! Good luck on your move. I have 4 weeks but I have to have most everything packed by the end of this week.
Great cards Pam! I love seeing the new SU stuff in action so soon. Good luck with the move. I have no idea how you do it and yet manage to stick with any hobby never mind one like paper rafting which usually means tons of supplies.
I really love your cards and I am always trying to find new ways to use vellum in my designs.
Hummer Hugs,
Misty

Pam, your cards are awesome, and I love how those cupcakes look like they're in a cake dish with the vellum! Genius! I love how you used that great dsp for the 2nd one too!
I don't need to be added to the wish list as I have a whole drawer full of these stamps too, but good luck to someone who can use them!
Pam, I love both of your cards! The clouds with the cityscape are fabulous! ;)

Pam, Two wonderful cards. I like what you did with the new SU products. It is fun to see ideas and how to use the products. I really like the city scape DP and how you used the clouds. Very clever of you. Hope you have a smooth move -- I know it is not fun -- packing up your craft stuff. Thanks for doing the samples this week too.

Pam, I think both cards are fantastic! I think you were very clever to use velumn as the cover for the cake stand. The city scape colors coordinate perfectly. Thanks for sharing your goodies!

What great cards! I love how you used vellum on the first one and on the second one I fell in love with the scene - those clouds above the city look fantastic.
And thank you very much for the chance to win some of those wonderful stamps and ribbon. That's very sweet of you.
Good luck with your move. I hope everything will go smoothly! Hugs! xx
Oooops, sorry, I forgot to write my email. Here it is: crafty_little_bee at yahoo dot com
Wow, what great samples, Pam! I especially like the clouds added to the houses paper--gives an instant higher perspective!
I am working on this sketch too, and trying my hand on coming up with Club Scrap-style "Assembly Line" directions for making 4 cards out of 4 sheets of cardstock. (While you're cutting for one card, might as well make foundations for a few extras!) If my design works, I'll put it in the comments on the Sketch.
Love all your work...

I thought I had commented on this but I don't see me anywhere. It's floating out there in cyber-space somewhere. I wonder if that stuff ever lands... just sayin'. I love what you did with the vellum, making a cake cover for your cupcakes... good job!
