Kitchen Sink Stamps 10 Minute Card Challenge 22

On a usual Kitchen Sink Monday I will post 4 samples for the weekly 10 Minute Card Challenge. There is a reason I post 4 samples instead of 1 - guilt! The rest of the members of the Kitchen Sink Crew each post a beautiful creation they have spent a lot of time designing and executing while I am posting a card that takes ten minutes to build! It just doesn't seem right to me! Since it normally takes me an average of 40 minutes to create a pretty layered card with embellishments, I make four 10 minute cards. Seems only fair to me!

Well, today when I got started on 10 Minute Card Challenge #22, I was having so much fun sorting through my designer paper scraps and matching them to my Kitchen Sink Stamps that I just couldn't stop! So this week you are getting 7 samples!!

For the challenge I cut three squares of designer paper (1.75 inches square) for each card. I then glued them to the card front in a windowpane pattern and stamped a Kitchen Sink image in the place where the fourth windowpane would be. I finished each card with a fun sentiment! I hope this will be something you find useful for creating quick and simple cards with your KSS images. If you would like to share your card for the challenge in the Kitchen Sink Gallery, be sure to include keyword 10MC22.

Monday in the Kitchen

I decided to use Connie's fun KSS sketch (FSCC20) this week to finish up one more card for SCS's Virtual Stamp Night. For this particular challenge we were to create a girlie card with attitude.

And now on to today's 10 Minute Card Challenge. These one layer cards were created using the emboss resist technique. I selected the most distinctive layer from each KSS set and stamped it on the white card front using Versamark. I then embossed the images with white embossing powder and sponged color over them. These are so easy and quick!! Each one took less than 5 minutes! If you decide to try one and add them to the Kitchen Sink Gallery, please include keyword 10MC21.

Thanks for dropping by!!

SCS Virtual Stamp Night

As time permits, I am playing along with some of the challenges in the ongoing Virtual Stamp Night at Splitcoaststampers! There is a fun pirate theme this month!

The first assignment of the evening was a color challenge: kraft, light green, aqua blue, and yellow. I pulled out this fun Cuttlebug die cut and embossing folder I had snatched up at Big Lots last year for $2. What a steal!! The sentiment is from Blue Skies by Verve.

For this challenge we were to include a boat. Sail Away by Stampin' Up had just been delivered to my door. Perfect timing! The sentiment is from Make a Wish Quotes by Fiskars. I think this will make a nice masculine birthday card.

 This challenge required a square card with a colorful bird! I reached for the hummingbird in A Year of  Thanks 2008, a retired set from Kitchen Sink Stamps.

Kitchen Sink - 10 Minute Monday

Today's 10 Minute Cards are sweet little 3 1/2 inch squares. A Kitchen Sink flower was stamped in the upper right corner of the white card front. I then torn off the top right corner of a matching piece of 3 1/2 square card stock and rolled down the torn edge. I next stamped on a sentiment and glued the colored card stock to the card front before adding the bow. Should you like to create a card for 10 Minute Card Challenge 18, the keyword is 10MC18. Please share it with us in the Kitchen Sink Gallery if you do! We would love to see your work!
