Just Us Girls #699 - CASE a DT

 It's CASE a DT week at Just Us Girls.  The idea behind this is to CASE one of our Design Team members from this week's post.  


Hop on over to JUGS to see what our amazing Design Team have created and choose one of those creations to make one of your own.  CASE - copy and share everything.


I made this for a friend who retired from the sheriff's department.  Started with a piece of foiled, patterned paper from my stash, I think it was DCWV.  Die cut the stars in the brown and yellow/gold and layered them.  Used an unknown beer die and added some Stickles to the beer and Nuvo drops for the foam.  Stamped the sentiment directly on the patterned paper and heat embossed in black.

Choose one of our cards from this week's post to CASE and share it with us and you could be chosen as our next Chic of the Week which would then put you in the running for a chance to become our next Guest Designer!  Please limit your entries to 3.

Just Us Girls #698 - CAS Week

It's CAS Week at Just Us Girls and I'm the hostess this week. I would like to see the gallery filled with Sports themed creations this week, in a CAS style, of course.
  

First I want to say THANK YOU to Stephanie Lanzalotto for joining us this past month!  Now, hop on over to JUGS to see what Sporty creations Stephanie and the rest of our fabulous Design Team have made.
I remember way back in high school when the cheerleaders would decorated the player's lockers and that was what I was going for with this.  Yes, the shoes look a little large next to the locker, but this card is for my grandson who wears a size 15!  The locker and shoes are an old set from Gina K.  The basketball is an unknown die and the star is a punch stamped with a little 11, which is his basketball number.

Come play along with us and you could be chosen as our next Chic of the Week, which would make you eligible at a chance to become our next Guest Designer!  Please limit your entries to 3.

Just Us Girls #697

 It's Photo/Moodboard Week at Just Us Girls and here is the awesome Moodboard selected by Carol for our inspiration.


Check out JUGS to see what our Guest Designer Stephanie Lanzalotto and the rest of our Design Team have created with this Moodboard as inspiration.


I stamped the apple from Gina K with orange and red Distress Oxide inks going for a blended look.  Masked the apple and stamped the green leaf shadow from Concord & 9th in Pistachio Memento ink the stamped the sentiment from another Concord & 9th set in black.  Die cut the panel with a pierced edge rectangle die.  Inked the edges of a white card base with the same Pistachio ink.

Just Us Girls #696 - Word Week

 We have our fabulous Design Team member Bobby as our hostess this week for Word Week at Just Us Girls and she has chosen the word Moon for our challenge.  I can't wait to see all of the beautiful moons filling the gallery!

Hop on over to our JUGS blog to see all of the Moons from our talented Guest Designer Stephanie Lanzalotto and the rest of the amazing Design Team.




Started by masking off the circle and blending Distress Inks in yellows.  Then masked off the moon and ink blended the entire background with Distress Inks in purples, blues and Black Soot.  Stamped the spooky scene from a very old Gina K set in black.  Stenciled the bats and stamped the sentiment from another old Studio G set.  Used a white gel pen to color the ghost in the doorway. Mounted onto a purple card base.


Another Halloween card.  Die cut a circle and sponged Distress Inks in yellows again.  Adhered to a piece of patterned paper then stenciled the cat and bats with Versafine Black Onyx ink.  Adhered to a piece of black and white polka dot paper and then to a white card base.

Come play along with us and you could be chosen as our next Chic of the Week, which would then make you eligible at a chance to become our next Guest Designer!  Please limit your entries to 3.

Just Us Girls #695 - Color Week

 It's Color Week at Just Us Girls and Lisa E. is our lovely hostess and she has chosen a beautiful color combo for our inspiration - Aqua and Apricot.


A huge WELCOME to our fabulous Guest Designer for the month of September - Stephanie Lanzalotto!  Come check out JUGS to see all of the amazing creations using this color combo by Stephanie and the rest of the talented Design Team.


Started with the striped paper from my stash in the perfect colors.  Die cut the happy from the patterned paper and then stamped birthday directly on the stripes.  Added the die cut balloons and colored the pieces and placed them back inside the die cut.  Put it all together having one of the strings going through the H onto an SU Apricot Appeal card base.


This one is a new, unbranded floral background stamp colored with watercolor pens.  Placed the die cut white frame over the flowers and added a die cut happy and stamped birthday strip and again used an Apricot Appeal card base.

Come play along with us and you could be chosen as our next Chic of the Week, which would then make you eligible at a chance to become our next Guest Designer!  Please limit your entries to 3.
