Hello Friends and Happy Monday! I hope your weekend was fun and you did something special for yourself. I'm excited to be a Crazy Cousin Guest Designer at The Double Trouble Challenge #166! It's a fun one this round, you are to go through your stash and pick unused and mix-matched items for your design.
Let me tell ya, this was a hard one for this complicated brain of mine. It was easy finding something unused in my stash, which is a shame actually, however, trying to use mix-matched items was quite hard for me.
For my project, I've chosen 3-D stickers I've had for about a year, purchased from the Dollar Tree, when things were actually a $1 (now everything is $1.25 +). I have a paper pad that has gone unused till today, and a stamp set that has never been inked...see...I told you it was a shame these things were hidden in the stash!
There's also a sketch to follow, as Double Trouble is collabing with Tuesday Morning Sketches. So I've combined everything into my card.

I thought I would go one step farther and use an embossing folder from Cricut, the Basic Shapes, to create a mix-matched background. The stamp set is titled "Stuck on You" by Maymay Made it, the papers are from the Good Vibes 6x6 paper pad by Crate Paper and the sentiment is from the same stamp set.
As you know, sketches are basic ideas for making cards easy, so I've chosen to use only snippets of patterned paper, and left off the bow/ribbon element at the bottom of the sketch.
Also, no bells and whistles this time, it looks quite busy and I felt it couldn't stand another thing LOL
Please stop by The Double Trouble and Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenges to see what the teams have created. We hope you'll be inspired to dive deep into your stash and play along.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna
