In love with color? Get creatively colorful with the Color & Contour bundle!
The open-line floral art and abstract filler stamps allows for a range of coloring techniques. Try freehand watercoloring for a modern look, or use ink and sponge daubers on the filler stamps to create an ombre floral effect!
I chose this bundle to create an element for the front of my card. But what makes this card a real standout is 1 simple product = Foursquare Decorative Masks!
Combine these 2 products to make stunning (but very simple) cards like this one.
Here's how to make this card yourself:

Here's a fun Paper Craft Crew card sketch challenge for you to play with!
This week I struggled a bit with my design as I don't have a lot of stamp sets with leaves (shocker). But then I realized that the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks set has a leaf mask so my decision was made!
These masks are perfect for 'jazzing' up your paper crafts! Each of the masks has fun and detailed all-occasion designs that will add depth and color to your paper crafting projects, whether it’s cards, gift tags, or gift packaging. The flower and petal masks can help you wish a sunny salutation. Use the argyle patterned mask to create a card that’s cozy and cute for fall. You could also use the masking technique to combine a couple of the masks to create your own unique designs.
You can see the leaf mask on the right.
I decided to use 3 ink colors that represent fall colors: Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Pecan Pie. Apply the color was super easy thanks to the Blending Brushes.
Here's my card:
The phrase for my card comes from the Something Fancy stamp set:
and is very appropriate as my sister's birthday card will be arriving late this year (sigh). It's always handy to have a stamp that says oops or sorry!
Here's another view:
Can you figure out what I chose for this challenge? What 3 challenge boxes will you choose this week?

If you love nature then you need to check out the A Walk in the Forest Designer Series Paper. The color scheme and tree images make this paper a natural fit for winter crafting—use it to accent your holiday cards and gift tags. When the weather warms, you won’t want to stash this paper away! Combine it with complementary colors and use it to make cards for all the outdoorsy people in your life. If they’re into camping, hiking, mountain climbing, or other outdoor adventures, they’ll appreciate the lovely nature-inspired images—and you, for thinking of them!
I will also be using my Shop the Town stamp set:
Evoke the magic of the holiday season on your handmade cards and gift tags with the Shop the Town set. Build a Christmas village, then deck it out for the season. Stamp the Christmas tree, then color it in entirely or leave some parts white for a snow-kissed look. String festive lights between buildings, then add some falling snow and carolers—there are so many possibilities! When the holiday season ends and a new year begins, you can use these stamps to set a quaint village scene without the festive decor. (Also available in French)
Here's my Double Bridge Fun Fold idea - looks complicated, right? (it's not!) Watch my video below for a step by step tutorial.
Supplies
Stamp set: Shop the Town (162068)
Ink: Pretty Peacock; Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper and cutting dimensions:
Basic White: 5 6/8" square; (8) 3/4" x 2 1/4"; 3" square
Balmy Blue: 6" x 6"; (2) 3 3/4" x 2 1/4"
A Walk in the Forest: (2) 3 1/2" x 2"; (8) 1/2" x 2"
Pretty Peacock: (2) 2 1/4" x 3 3/4"; 3 1/4" square

Whew, this week's Paper Craft Crew card sketch challenge is a doozie.......unless..
unless.... you know this technique! At least that's what came to my mind when I saw it.
I decided to challenge myself further by choosing to follow the circle image, using my Deckled Circle dies - 14 circles in the pack!
Every crafter needs some basic tools, and this is one of them! The Deckled Circle Dies quickly cut basic shapes with a twist—a deckled* edge! What can you do with something so basic? For starters, you can cut several sizes in different colors and layer them to create a big colorful circle. Cut different sizes and scatter them on your card for a fun background. Cut in rainbow colors, then cut the circle in half for two rainbows. The list goes on and on and on. If you have a die-cutting machine, you’ll want these dies!
And then I decided to make a Christmas card on top of it all! I chose some patterns in the A Walk in the Forest paper pack and this is my card:
Now it's your turn: what will you create this week? Will you try the Floating Strips technique or create something completely different? We want to see!

Here's a playful Paper Craft Crew card challenge for the week!
Funny (or not?), but I don't have any sets with pumpkins. So I decided to go with the colors in the photo for my inspiration and I immediately thought of using my Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks.
Jazz up your paper crafts with the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks! Each of the masks has fun and detailed all-occasion designs that will add depth and color to your paper crafting projects, whether it’s cards, gift tags, or gift packaging. The flower and petal masks can help you wish a sunny salutation. Use the argyle patterned mask to create a card that’s cozy and cute for fall. You could also use the masking technique to combine a couple of the masks to create your own unique designs.
To create my card I used my Blending Brushes to apply color and then chose a phrase from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set:
Note: the stamp set and dies are now sold separately.
And here's my fall card idea:
What will you create using the challenge photo for inspiration? If you want to see what the other design crew members created this week, click here to hop over to the Paper Craft Crew site.
