Dare to Get Dirty – Day #5

Let's Hang Out close-up by Tammy Hershberger for Dare to Get Dirty
Hello friends!  Thanks for coming back to see me again today!  I've got more fun from the Splitcoaststampers Dare to Get Dirty challenges to share with you, including the challenge that I'M hosting!  I hope you'll pop in over at SCS and join us in the fun.​  I think my challenge is a fun one... lots of possibilities for this one, so be sure to check it out.

(Since this is my second blog post for today with a total of three cards, I'm going to keep my descriptions pretty short and sweet.  But compete supply lists are down below, and you can always email me if you have ANY questions!!)

 Let's Hang Out by Tammy Hershberger for Dare to Get Dirty

The card I made for my challenge uses the BB Let's Hang Out stamp set from My Favorite Things.  I borrowed this one from my friend Kirsty (thanks girlfriend!) to use specifically for my challenge today.  I used the coordinating Let's Hang Out Die-Namics to cut out my little tomboy girl from Copic X-press It blending card stock, then stamped her in Steel Grey hybrid ink and colored with Copic markers.  The scenery was also stamped on the X-press It blending card stock and colored with Copics, then was cut out with the Pierced Rectangle STAX Die-Namics.

And this card is for another challenge being hosted by my fellow Deconstructed Sketch team member, Kim O'Connell!  I had a lot of fun with this card, incorporating the CAS(E) this Sketch #87 challenge and the Tag You're It #3 challenge into my design.  (FUN challenges there... I'm definitely going to be participating in both a lot more often!)  I die-cut three layers of the "hi" from the Happy Hellos Die-Namics from Lemon Drop card stock, then glued them together and slapped on some crystal lacquer.  (See... I told you yesterday this was going to be new addiction!)  I added some embossing in the background with white embossing paste and the On the Diagonal stencil, and added a sweet scattering of flowers that were cut with the Trellis & Vine Die-Namics.  Again, see below for a complete listing of my supplies, or just email me with questions!

Dare to Get Dirty – Day #4

You Make Me Happy close-up by Tammy Hershberger for Dare to Get Dirty

There’s another round of Dare to Get Dirty challenges going on today over at Splitcoaststampers, and I hope you’ll join in!  You can find all the details by clicking HERE, but remember if you’re not a Fan Club member you won’t be able to access that thread telling you about the challenges.  The yearly Dare to Get Dirty festivities are SCS’s way of saying thank you to everyone who joins the Fan Club, and the prizes given to participants are exclusive to Fan Club members.  So you have to join the club to join in the fun!  :)

My first card I have to share with you today is for my good friend Lisa Henke’s challenge…

You Make Me Happy by Tammy Hershberger for Dare to Get Dirty

It may look kinda’ simple but I had a BLAST making this card!  My new favorite thing now is to layer die-cuts and then coat them with crystal lacquer, as show here with the Happy Die-Namics die!  I cut the “happy” three times from Black Licorice card stock, then glued all three layers together, and gave the whole thing a good coating of crystal lacquer.  Set it aside to dry for a few hours, and this is what you get!  SO FUN to do!  For the background, I cut a large rectangle from Smooth White card stock with the Blueprints 13.  Then stamped the stripes from DC Striped Backgrounds in Cotton Candy hybrid ink, Orange Fizz hybrid ink, Lemon Drop hybrid ink, Sour Apple hybrid ink, Sno Cone hybrid ink, Blu Raspberry hybrid ink and Grape Jelly hybrid ink.  With the Blue Skies Ahead stamp  set, I inked just the top and bottom halves of the “You make me happy when skies are gray” sentiment with Black Licorice hybrid ink, and stamped over the rainbow stripes, then used some foam tape to put the “happy” in place.  A few randomly placed enamel dots finished this off!

The other day I noticed that they’re having an Anything Goes challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp blog, so I’m entering this card in the challenge!  :)

My second card is for my awesome friend Cindy Lawrence’s challenge…

Whee! by Tammy Hershberger for Dare to Get Dirty

I pulled out this long-neglected Start Each Day with Whee! Pure Innocence stamp set for this card, and stamped the image on Copic X-press It blending card stock with Steel Grey hybrid ink, then colored with Copics. The Grape Jelly card stock, Blu Raspberry card stock and Grapesicle card stock panels were all made using the Horizontal Stitched Strips Die-Namics and were stamped with the BG Typewriter Text background in Grout Gray hybrid ink.  (I LOVE using Grout Gray hybrid ink for just a subtle inking…works a lot like Versamark!)  Those panels were mounted to a piece of Steel Grey card stock.  Then the Spearmint card stock base was stamped in Grout Gray hybrid ink with the BG Diagonal Stripes background.  I stamped the sentiment in Steel Grey hybrid ink, and finished the design with a few flags from the Blueprints 13, and a button tied with white cotton thread.

Here are my supplies…
