Create with Connie and Mary 251

Hey there! How are we all doing today? I’m doing great! Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous, lots of sun and topless driving! I did my cleaning in the morning and then some crafting, went and had lunch with my friends, did some more crafting, went to my daughter’s school to see her art exhibit and then went to dinner with Anthony and Bill. A very nice day indeed! Today it’s supposed to rain so it will be a good day to do some more crafting!

Today’s post – Create with Connie and Mary Sketch 251

CCMC 251

I’m really liking the new Photopolymer Stamps, they have a nice modern feel to them and lining them up is a breeze. The base of my card is Smokey Slate Card Stock*. The lines up the card on the right and all of the other stamped images are from the Show & Tell 2 Photopolymer Stamp Set and are either stamped in Bermuda Bay* or Smokey Slate*. The piece of paper is from the Floral District Designer Series paper Pack. The chevrons are cut out with my Paper Snips and the panel of DSP is adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. It’s a nice simple modern graphic card. Thank you very much for visiting with me today to see my Create with Connie and Mary Sketch 251 card. Have a great Saturday no matter what you do!

Fab Friday 18 & Sneak Peek

A very happy to Friday to you all! I’m off today and am going to do some cleaning, crafting and relaxing. I look at a day off as a chance to catch up on some neglected things. Cleaning as of late has been neglected and relaxing is always neglected, the crafting is just a necessity! The weather here today was torrential downpours and then some sun. It was alittle muggy but not cold so I’m ok with that!

Today’s post – Fab Friday Design Team 18 Color Challenge…

Fab Fri 18 Color 5-09-2013

The idea for this card started out with wanting to punch the new alphabet out with the new Mosaic Punch and grew from there. The base of the card is Soft Suede. The middle consists of some Print Poetry Designer Series Paper, Summer Starfruit embossed with the Fancy Fan Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and some Primrose Petals stamped with the Summer Silhouettes Stamp Set. The letters are from the ABC – 123 Sketch Alphabet & Numbers Stamp Set* stamped in Raspberry Ripple and punched out with the Mosaic Punch*. I think I have mentioned how fond I am of the new alphabet, it’s a great size and I like the sketched look. Thank you for visiting with me today to see my Fab Friday Design Team card for this week’s color challenge. Check out the Fab Friday Blog to see what the other designers have for you and enter your card for me to see! Have a wonderful day!

Freshly Made Sketches #85 & Sneak Peek

Ahh… Thursday! For me it’s Friday! I’m off from work tomorrow! Woo hoo! It rained here yesterday for a good part of the day, and when I say rained I mean poured buckets! The sun did peek out from time to time just let us know that it was still there. Temperature wise it was pretty nice just a little on the muggy side. Are you all ready for Mother’s Day? I made 4 cards last night so I’m good!

Today’s post – Freshly Made Sketches #85, a sketch from Narelle…

Freshly Made Sketches #85

You see it… there are some flags on there! The base of my card is Strawberry Slush* Card Stock. I used a piece of the Quatrefancy Designer Series Paper* across the top and embossed the rest with the Modern Mosaic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder*. The image in the middle is from the A Round Array Stamp Set that you can get now either alone or in a bundle with the 7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch. Behind it is some more Strawberry Slush* punched out with the 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle Punch. Behind that is an image from the Happy Flowers Host(ess) Stamp Set” cut out with the Floral Frames Collection Framelits Dies. A 2 3/8″ Scallop Circle completes the middle and under are the flags in Pool Party and Daffodil Delight. I love the nice mix of colors in the DSP and layering the stamp from the A Round Array Set makes it seem bigger than it is. Thank you for dropping by to see my Freshly Made Sketches Card for this week’s challenge. I hope you all have a very lovely Thursday! 🙂

Paper Craft Crew #41

Hello! We have made it to Wednesday once again and are halfway to Friday! It was another beautiful day here on Long Island, sunny and warm. Today we are to have rain on and off but we haven’t had any in a while so it’s all good. How is your week going so far? Mine is ok but as always I’ll be glad when it’s over!

Today’s post – Paper Craft Crew Design Team Sketch #41…

PCCCS41 Sketch 5-08-2013

I thought it would be fun to pair some new colors together. The base of my card is the new Smokey Slate Card Stock* and for the background I used a piece of the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper and ticketed the corners. A Tea Lace Paper Doily is behind the Just Thinking Stamp that I stamped in Smokey Slate* and Bermuda Bay*. It’s cut out with the Window Frames Collection Framelits Dies. A 5/8″ Flower Trim is inked in Smokey Slate* and placed at the top and in the lower left hand corner is a Designer Builder Brad with a butterfly from the Itty Bitties Stamp Set. Some pieces of So Saffron and Bermuda Bay* on opposite sides top and bottom complete the card. Thanks so much for coming by to see my Design Team card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew Sketch.

SUO Challenges & News!

Hello peeps! We made it through Monday again! I had card class last night and the child tagged along. Father daughter bonding is so much fun! It was a very nice day here again today so the top was down in the car, always enjoyed on my drive home from work! Oh, I have some news for you today! I have been asked to join the Stampin’ Up! Only Challenges Design Team! The talented group of designers is headed up by Robin and I’m so happy to give you my first card for the group. This time around the challenge is to use butterflies. My mother, being a huge fan of butterflies (she even has a tattoo of one!) made this an easy one! So here is my butterfly card.

The base of the card is Raspberry Ripple. I used the World Treasures Stamp Set for all of the images and greeting on the card. The flowers are stamped in Pacific Point and have Basic Jewels Rhinestones in their centers. I used the Elegant Butterfly Punch to create a negative in the strip of Raspberry Ripple and some International Bazaar Designer Series Paper punched out with the Bitty Butterfly Punch fill it in with two more Rhinestones on the butterfly. Three Pacific Point butterflies cut out with the Beautiful Wings Sizzlit are adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals next to it and the greeting is cut out with the Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies. I’m loving the colors together and my mom is sure to love the butterflies! Thank you so much for stopping by to see my first card for the Design Team over at SUO Challenges. Head on over to the blog and see the other designers projects and upload one of your own. Have a great day! 🙂

Mojo 292

Hey there and happy Monday?! Nah, Monday is rarely happy. How was your weekend? Mine was pretty good considering I worked on Saturday. I had a nice day yesterday, I got some crafting in, went to see some friends and spent some time outside in the beautiful weather. What were you all up to this weekend, hopefully some good fun happenings! I did get up a little early this morning so I decided to make my Mojo Monday card. If I made the card and wrote the blog post you know it was really early!

Today’s post – Mojo 292, a sketch from Julee Tilman…

Mojo292

As soon as I saw the sketch I though of the Epic Day This and That DSP! The base of my card is Pool Party and I used the soon to be retiring Color Spritzer Tool to spritz some Pool Party ink on it. The pieces of paper are from the Epic Day This and That Designer Series Paper and on the one I used the “Vintage” Spiral Notebook Border Punch. The flags and the scallop across the middle are all Basic Gray. For the greeting I used the Label Love Stamp Set*, stamped in Gumball Green, and the Artisan Label Punch* with some Stampin’ Dimensionals for some pop. I like the simplicity of the card even with all of the elements. Thank you for checking in with me today to see my Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card for this week. Have yourselves a good Monday! 🙂

Paper Players #144 :-) & Sneak Peek

Happy Sunday! How is your weekend so far? Mine is good despite the fact that I had to work all day yesterday, I did get to rappel off of the side of a 12 story building!

Here are a few pictures, I ‘m the little dot at the top!

Perfect timing for next week! The base of my card is Melon Mambo Card Stock. I used the Ovals Collection Framelits and a piece of Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper* to cut out a frame.

Pals Paper Arts 158

Ahh. Saturday, usually the beginning of my weekend but not this week. I’ll be working this morning at an Over the Edge Charity event. I’m supposed to rappel, I’ll let you know if it happens. If there is no post tomorrow you’ll know it didn’t go well. LOL! Kidding… I hope!! What’s on tap for your weekend?

Today’s post – Pals Paper Arts 159, colors…

PPA 158

Definitely not a color combination that I would have thought of but they do go quite nicely together. I decided to have some fun with the Photopolymer Stamps. The base of my card is Pool Party. I created the background using the Show & Tell 1 & 2 Photopolymer Stamps Sets. I created a pattern in Pool Party and Lucky Limeade. The circle is Lucky Limeade and embossed with the Chevron Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The image is also from the Show & Tell Sets, the letters from the Designer Typeset Alphabet. I really like how easy the stamps are to line up and the modern trendiness is great too! Thank you for stopping by to see my Pals Paper Arts card for their color challenge. I hope you have a great day and that I will see you tomorrow!

Woo hoo! The color renovation has been announced! I’m so happy that they have kept four of the five 2011-2013 In-Colors! I’m a little sad to see that Lucky Limeade didn’t make the cut but we also got some former In-Colors back too! Bermuda Bay, Soft Sky, Crushed Curry, Pear Pizzaz and Blushing Bride along with a new color Smokey Shadow. They have also moved some colors to different families and of course they are retiring some colors. Say so long to Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, Baja Breeze, Riding Hood Red, Bravo Burgundy, Not Quite Navy, More Mustard and River Rock. Change is a good thing!

Stampin’ Up! has released their first Photopolymer Stamp Set! It’s called Designer Typeset! The great thing about Photopolymer Stamps is that they are completely clear so you can see exactly where you are going to stamp. They work amazingly with our new Firm Foam Stampin’ Pads for great ink coverage. You are going to love them! This is a limited release so make sure you get one before it’s gone!

Create with Connie and Mary #250

Happy Friday! Not so happy for me as I have to work tomorrow. Sigh… oh well what can you do?! It was gorgeous here yesterday and is supposed to be a little chilly today and then back to beautiful tomorrow. I really do love riding around in my car with top down. It’s so nice to feel the sun and the wind on you face. Sometimes it’s the little things that make our day! What’s on tap for your weekend?

Today’s card – Create with Connie and Mary Colors #250…

CCMC 250

A very neat color combo and I immediately thought of This & That Epic Day goodies. The base of my card is Pool Party. Some Epic Day This & That Designer Series Paper makes up the background and the hexagons that I cut out with my Paper Snips. For the chevrons I used my 1″ Square Punch to punch out some Calypso Coral. The greeting is from the Really Good Greetings Stamp Set* and is stamped in Versa-Mark and heat embossed with Pool Party Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I used the Ticket Duo Punch to punch it out and the Occasions Paper-Piercing Pack to create the backing. I hope that you enjoyed my Create with Connie and Mary Color challenge card for this week and thank you for stopping by. Have a fantastic Friday! 🙂

Freshly Made Sketches #84

Super clean and simple! The base of my card is Early Espresso. The paper in the middle is Soho Subway Designer Series Paper* and I added some Crisp Cantaloupe* that is cut with the Finishing Touches Edgelit Dies. For the large flagged piece, some more Crisp Cantaloupe* embossed with the Chevron Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The thanks is from the ABC & 123 Sketch Alphabet & Numbers Stamp Set* and I stamped it a little imperfect go a little better with the Lovely Labels Stamp* that is punched out with the Artisan Label Punch*. I really am throughly enjoying the new goodies and hope that you are enjoying seeing them! Thanks for stopping by to see my card for this Week’s Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.
