Freshly Made Sketches #61

Happy Friday everyone! Here comes the weekend! What are all of you up to this weekend? I have lots of crafting to do and I think maybe a trip to Manhattan on Saturday to see a friend. It’s supposed to be nice but a little chilly here this weekend. What’s the weather like by you?

Today’s post is form this week’s Freshly Made Sketches. This week clever Jennifer T. has provided us with this sketch…

A very clean and simple sketch. I went super clean and simple with my card. The base of the card is Sahara Sand Card Stock. I used the Woodgrain Background Stamp inked in Sahara Sand for the background. The image is from the Heart of Christmas Wood Mount Stamp and is stamped in Always Artichoke on Whisper White. I stamped it again in Bravo Burgundy and cut out the Christmas and That Puts Christmas in the Air and adhered them to the Artichoke sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Before I adhered it to the card I used the 3/16″ Corner Rounder on the top two corners. A strip of Champagne Glimmer Paper with a thin strip of Bravo Burgundy across the bottom completes the card. The Heart of Christmas is definitely mu favorite Christmas stamp and I love the simplicity of the card and the glimmer paper gives it just a little sparkle. I hope that you enjoyed this week’s Freshly Made Sketches card. Thank you so much for visiting and I hope that you all have a great Friday!

Create with Connie and Mary 227

Happy Thursday! I hope that everyone is enjoying their week. Work is a little hectic and will be until the end of the month. I will be happy when December gets here! Thursday also means that it’s Create with Connie and Mary time! This week we have a shaped card to make. I think this is my first shaped card and it was fun! Here we go…

As soon as I saw the Blossom in the sketch I knew exactly what I was going to do! My card starts off with a base of Basic Black Card Stock. I cut two of the largest Labels Collection Framelits Dies and scored about 1/4″ on the top of the back one and adhered the two together with a little Sticky Strip. The background layer is a piece of Pool Party that I also cut out with the Labels Collection Framelits Dies and embossed with the Chevron Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Before I adhered it to the base I cut two piece of Basic Black 3/8″ Taffeta Ribbon and adhered them around the back with Sticky Strip. The stamped image is the new Single Stamp Bold Snowflake that coordinates with the Blossom Punch. I stamped it in Pool Party on Whisper White. For the middle image I stamped the snowflake stamp from the Mixed Medley Host(ess) Stamp Set in Versa-Mark on Basic Black and heat embossed it with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder. It is then punched out with the 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle Punch. Both if them are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from the More Merry Messages Stamp Set and is stamped in Basic Black and “fussy” cut out with my Paper Snips. Some Stampin’ Dimensional pieces adhere it to the card. I love the Pool Party and Basic Black together. They give the card a bold frosty retro look! I hope that enjoyed my Guest Designer card for this week’s Create with Connie and Mary Sketch Challenge.

Paper Craft Crew Sketch 016

Hello and welcome to Wednesday! Halfway through the week is always a good thing. How has your week been so far? Mine has been ok. I went out to dinner with my peeps last night and we had a nice time. It’s a little cold here and rained most of the day yesterday but anything is better than a hurricane or snow right! LOL!

Today’s post is for this week’s Design Team card for the Paper Craft Crew. This week we have a sketch…

Lots of circles! The base of my card is Whisper White Card Stock. I punched the edge of a piece of Baja Breeze with the Scallop Trim Border Punch and stamped it in Baja Breeze with the Woodgrain Background Stamp. The wide strip that goes down the right side is a piece of Riding Hood Red with a piece of Silver Glimmer Paper on top. It gives the card a heavy dose of bling! The image is from the Four Seasons Host(ess) Stamp Set and is stamped twice, once in Baja Breeze and again in Riding Hood Red. The Baja Breeze piece is punched out with the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch and the Riding Hood Red center is punched out with the 1″ Circle Punch. They are adhered to each other and the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set and is stamped in Riding Hood Red and punched out with the Word Window Punch. I punched a piece of Riding Hood Red out with the Modern Label Punch to back it before adhering it the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The little circles are punched out with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack and are also adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I really like the image with the Woodgrain Background and the Silver Glimmer Paper, it gives it a frosty woodsy feel. I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew Design Team. Click on over and see what the rest of the team has come up with and enter a card of your own. Thank you for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Mojo 267

Hello peeps! How was everyone’s Monday? Mine was ok, I had a lot to do and got it all done! I think that’s a first for me especially on a Monday! Today’s post is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. This week Juliee Tilman has given us the following…

I really like the layouts that they come up with over ay Mojo. I have been on a bit of an ebay kick lately and I found this retired wood mount stamp set from 2008 called Glad Tidings. It has some great simple greeting stamps. I used three of them from the set. The base of my card starts off with a piece of Lucky Limeade Card Stock. I added a piece of Very Vanilla and stamped the top and bottom with Merry Christmas in Early Espresso. On top of that is a piece of Candlelight Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper and a piece of Lucky Limeade that I embossed with the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The panel in the middle is a piece of Very Vanilla and is stamped with another greeting from Glad Tidings. The left side has a piece of the velvet textured Window Sheet from the same DSP. On the right is a piece of Real Red 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon that I recently acquired from the Clearance Rack. A piece of Early Espresso that I cut with the Finishing Touches Edgelits is adhered to the back on the right. A Brights Collection Designer Button with a Basic Jewels Pearl in the middle is adhered to the ribbon with a Mini Glue Dot. The last greeting is stamped in Early Espresso and punched out with the 1″ Square Punch, I backed it with a piece of Early Espresso punched out with the  1 1/4″ Square Punch. Both panels are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I really like the colors together with the vintage (sounds much better than retired! LOL!) stamps. I hope that you enjoyed my Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card and that you are all set to have yourself a great day! Thanks for visiting!

Paper Players #121

Monday here again so soon, I really do wish the weekend was just a bit longer. Things seem to have returned to normal here on Long Island. The mass hysteria about gas has subsided and most people have power again. My heart still goes out to all of those that lost so much more than power. The only thing to keep in mind is that time erases most things, in time all will get better.

Today’s post is for this week’s Paper Players Challenge. This week the wonderful Anne Marie has give us a color challenge to play with…

As soon as I looked at it saw a nice Holiday card. We have some red and green, even some gold! The base of my card is Very Vanilla Card Stock. I used my En Français Background Stamp inked in Old Olive for my background. The flagged pieces consist of a layer of More Mustard embossed with the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. On top of that is a piece from the Brights Collection Designer Series Paper Stack. The final layer is Very Vanilla stamped with a greeting from the Word Play Stamp Set in Bravo Burgundy. The image is from the Bells & Boughs Stamp Set and is stamped in Basic Black. I used my More Mustard, Bravo Burgundy and Old Olive Stampin’ Write Markers to color the image in. It is then cut out with the Window Frames Collection Framelits Dies and pierced with the Festive Paper-Piercing Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool. I used the Window Frames Collection Framelits to cut out a piece of Bravo Burgundy to back it. Both pieces are mounted to each other and the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I like the vintage feel you get form the Bells & Boughs Stamp and the En Français Stamp. I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Paper Players Challenge. Thank you for visiting today and have great Monday! 🙂

Island Pool Merry Christmas Tags

Hello! How is your weekend so far? Mine has been quite nice. I got some quality craft time in yesterday and that always makes me happy! I have to start getting a move on making my Holiday cards to send out. I can’t believe how fast this year has gone! Christmas will be here before you know it. Have you started on your Holiday cards yet?

For today’s post I made some 3 x 3 cards that would make nice gift tags. The first one uses a base of Island Indigo Card Stock. I used the Simply Scored Tool with the Diagonal Plate to emboss piece of Crumb Cake for the background and adhered it to the base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is form the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set and is stamped in Early Espresso. I used the Bitty Banners Framelits to cut it out. The ornaments, stamped in Pool Party and Island Indigo, are from the Merry Minis Stamp Set and are punched out with the Merry Minis Punch Pack. All of the elements are mounted to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The second tag starts off with a base of Pool Party Card Stock. I used the retired Spiral Edge Punch along the top and took a piece of Island Indigo and punched it with the Scallop Border Punch and adhered it to the back along the bottom. It’s mounted to the base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is form the More Merry Messages Stamp Set and is stamped in Early Espresso. The trees are stamped in Pool Party and Island Indigo from the Merry Minis Stamp Set and punched out with the Merry Minis Punch Pack. They too are mounted to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Pool Party and Island Indigo are great colors, especially when paired with Crumb Cake. These tags would go great on a package wrapped with craft paper. I hope that you are inspired by these tags to make some of your own. Thank you very much for dropping in today. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! 🙂

Fab Friday 06

Hello everyone, how are you today? I’m doing well, looking forward to the nice weather we are going to have for the next couple of days. Today’s post is for Fab Friday. This time we have a color challenge…

There are two of my favorites, Midnight Muse and Crumb Cake, in there. The base of my card is Midnight Muse Card Stock. I embossed a piece of More Mustard with the Holiday Frame Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card with SNAIL. The stamped image and greeting are from the Joyous Celebrations Stamp Set. I stamped the oval in Midnight Muse and the reindeer in Crumb Cake. It’s punched out with the Extra Large Oval Punch and backed with a piece of Cajun Craze that I cut out with the Lots of Tags Sizzlits. The greeting is stamped in Cajun Craze and I flagged the ends before mounting both of them to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. It’s a nice quick simple non-tradiotional holiday card but if you look at it you can see that the More Mustard as a gold and the Cajun Craze as a red. I hope that you enjoyed my card for the Fab Friday Color Challenge. Thank you, as always for visiting and especially for all of your comments! Have a great day!

Freshly Made Sketches #60

A very good morning to you all! I have some awesome news… I got my power back last night after almost 10 days without it! I cannot tell you how happy I am! It’s so nice to sit at my craft desk and not shiver! LOL! I hope that all of the other people get theirs back soon. There are still about 260,000 people without power on Long Island. It really is terrible that it is taking them so long to fix all of this especially when we are lucky enough to have all of these people from other states here helping us. A big thank you to all of those that have come from all over the country! I also want to take a moment and thank all of you for your wonderful comments. You guys are the best!

Now for today’s post which is for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches. This week we have a great simple sketch from Tui…

I was in an exceptionally great mood last night when I made this card so I needed something equally as happy to be the main element. I love the santa from the Jolly Old Saint Nick Stamp Set. He is retired but he reminds me of the Coca Cola santa from years ago. The base of my card is Cherry Cobbler Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Whisper White with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder using no tabs so it was a little more subtle. The two shorter strips of card stock are Gumball Green and Cherry Cobbler. I used a piece of Silver Glimmer Paper in the middle for some sparkle. The main image is the happy santa from the Jolly Old Saint Nick Stamp Set (Retired). I stamped him in Basic Black and colored him with Blush Blossom, Cherry Cobbler and Pink Pirouette Stampin’ Write Markers. He is cut out with my Paper Snips and adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from the same set and is stamped in Gumball Green. I double cut it out with the Labels Collection Framelits Dies and also cut another one in Gumball Green to back it. Stampin’ Dimensionals also hold it to the card. I really love the classic look of the santa and the sparkle of the Silver Glimmer Paper. I hope that you enjoyed this week’s Freshly Made Sketches card. Thank you for stopping by and for your comments. Have a bright and warm day! 🙂

Create with Connie and Mary Color Challenge 226

Good morning! Well, someone in New York must have really annoyed mother nature! We got 3 inches of snow today and some more howling wind! Because hurricane Sandy wasn’t enough! I hope she’s done with us for a while. I stopped home last night and it was 38 degrees in my house, now that is a little cold! Yes, there is still no power. But some more people that I live near got theirs back tonight so maybe tomorrow. 😛

Today’s post is for this week’s Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This week we have a very nice color combination…

I love Midnight Muse. I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to do. At first I was thinking fall and then I thought no, a Christmas card. I do love non-traditional Holiday colors so this is perfect! The base of my card is Midnight Muse Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Cajun Craze with the Northern Flurry Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Then I adhered a piece of Midnight Muse 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon around the back with Sticky Strip before I adhered it to the base. The stamped image is from the Snow Swirled Stamp Set and is stamped in Midnight Muse on Whisper White. I stamped one the of the snowflakes in More Mustard and punched it out with the 1/2″ Circle Punch and adhered it with a Stampin’ Dimensional. Some Basic Jewels Rhinestones give it just a little sparkle. The greeting is stamped in Cajun Craze. I backed them both with More Mustard and adhered them to the base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love the elegance of the tree and the sparkle from the rhinestones. I hope that you enjoyed my Guest Designer card for this week’s Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. Don’t forget to visit the blog to see what all of the other talented designer have come up with and be sure to check out their Card Create-tions subscription for some great holiday card and gift ideas.

Paper Craft Crew Sketch 15

Happy Wednesday! I hope that you are all well today. Yes, I still have no power, it’s been over a week. Sigh… it’s getting colder and electric would be nice! I hope that all of the other people have found a warm place to stay, I’ll be at Louis’ again. I’m sure that he will eventually tire of me! LOL!

Today’s post is for this week’s Paper Craft Crew.This week’s sketch is pretty neat. I liked it so much that I didn’t change anything! Here it is…

My card starts off with a base of Lucky Limeade Card Stock. On the right side we have a piece of paper from the Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper Stack. On the left side I took a piece of Crumb Cake and cut the edge with the Adorning Accents Edgelits Dies. I then ran it through the Big Shot again with the Delicate Designs Embossing Folder. Both of the background pieces are adhered to the card with SNAIL. The next element to go on the card are the fagged pieces of Lucky Limeade and Cherry Cobbler. The Very Vanilla piece is stamped with the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set in Crumb Cake and mounted to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut the heart out with the Hearts Collection Framelits Dies and then embossed it with the Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. It too is adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The cute little gingerbread man is from the Scentsational Season Stamp Set and is stamped in Crumb Cake and cut out with the Holiday Collection Framelits Dies. I love the gingerbread man with the heart behind him, he’s a very happy guy! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew Design Crew Challenge.
