Paper Craft Crew 59

Hello peeps! How are you all doing today? I’m good because it’s Wednesday and tomorrow is my Friday! It was chilly here yesterday, only got up to 68 degrees. They say we are to be back in the 80’s by the weekend so just a little taste of what’s to come weather wise. I have lot’s to do before my departure so I will be a busy boy this evening!

Wednesday also means that it’s time for this week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge…

I inked up a new set for this one! The base of my card is Cherry Cobbler Card Stock. For the background on both the large square on top and the small squares along the bottom I used some Brushed Gold. The pretty poinsettia is from the Joyful Christmas Stamp Set and is stamped in Cherry Cobbler on Cherry Cobbler. The leaves are stamped in Pear Pizzaz on Pear Pizzaz and the little dots in the center are punched out with the Cupcake Builder Punch. The ribbon is Pear Pizzaz 3/8″ Taffeta Ribbon with a Antique Brad on the left. The joy is stamped in Cherry Cobbler from the A Banner Christmas Stamp Set and cut out with my Paper Snips. I really love the Brushed Gold with the Cherry Cobbler, it gives the card a rich look and I don’t think I have actually used the Cupcake Builder Punch to make a cupcake in a while! I hope that you enjoyed my Paper Craft Crew Design Team card for this week’s sketch challenge. Make sure to go over to the blog to see my fellow design team’s cards and enter your one in the gallery. Thank you for visiting and have a good day my friends! 🙂

Mojo 311

Happy Tuesday! I forgot that I have a four day week this week because I’m going on a little trip on Thursday night. I’ll tell you more about it on Friday! I’m quite excited about it! It is definitely feeling fall like here, windy and rainy yesterday morning but it cleared up in the afternoon and it’s 48 degrees this morning. Lot’s of catch up before I leave too. So much to do and so little time, isn’t that how it always works?!?!

Today I have my card for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge and the sketch this week is provided by Julee Tilman…

I just received this month’s Paper Pumpkin in the mail today and I love it as always. I was inspired by the card and decided to used the stamps and the color ink pad today. The base of my card is Crumb Cake Card Stock. A piece of Epic Day This & That Designer Series Paper with a piece of Midnight Muse that I punched with the Scallop Edge Border Punch along with a strip and a circle of Silver Glimmer Paper creates the backdrop. The greeting is stamped on a piece of Whisper White that I punched along the top with the Envelope Punch Board to create the file folder look. A strip of Pool Party and a piece of 1/8″ Silver Ribbon goes across the bottom. I used the Chevron Border Punch to punch out some Midnight Muse for the three chevrons on the left. I really do think that the Paper Pumpkin Kits are fun and I love all of the stamps that come with them. I hope you enjoyed my card for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge and thank you for coming by. Have a terrific Tuesday! 🙂

Paper Players 163

How was the weekend? Mine… not too bad. I went into Manhattan yesterday to see a friend, it was a beautiful day. Still a bit crisp but it did warm up. I think this is my favorite time to be in the city, you can walk around with overheating. I came home and did some puttering in the craft area, picked up my daughter from work and ran some errands. Monday, you just come way too fast!

My post for today is for this week’s Paper Players challenge. This time around Anne Marie has given us a CAS for the kids challenge…

I have had this idea in my head for a little bit and I thought this would be the perfect time to try it out. The base of my card is Basic Black Card Stock. The background is a piece of Smoky Slate. All of the images on the top half of the card are from the “Vintage” Out on a Limb Stamp Set. The branch, stamped in Early Espresso, and the cat, stamped in Basic Black, are stamped directly onto the background. The super cute little witch is stamped in Basic Black and colored in with my Blush Blossom, Pumpkin Pie and Pistachio Pudding Stampin’ Write Markers. I used Crushed Curry to stamp the broom and colored it in with So Saffron. She is then punched out with the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch and the edges are sponged in Smoky Slate. The two clouds are stamped in Smoky Slate and cut out with my Paper Snips. On to the idea part of my card. I stamped the greeting from the Delightful Dozen Stamp Set in Pumpkin Pie. Using my Stampin’ Trimmer and the Rotary attachment I cut a piece of Gumball Green with the Perforating Stampin’ Trimmer Rotary Cutting Blade and used some Sticky Strip to adhere it over the greeting. The spider web is from the “Vintage” Spooky Bingo Bits Stamp Set and the “pull” is stamped with the Designer Typeset Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pumpkin Pie. Now here comes the fun part, you pull open the top to reveal the greeting underneath! What kid (or adult for that matter) wouldn’t want to do that?! Pretty cool huh?! Oh yes, there will be more of these!! Thank you very much for checking out my Paper Players card for this week’s CAS for the kids challenge from Anne Marie. I appreciate your visit and hope you have a zippy day! 🙂

Just Add Ink 182

Good day! I had a nice productive Saturday, other than sleeping in a little late! I ran some errands, got a much needed haircut and got a lot of projects finished. I had to make a bunch of thank you cards for my birthday gifts and I have some hops and swaps coming up too. It was chilly here today, definitely felt fall like and crisp. I still kept the shorts and flip-flops and just added a hoodie. What were you all up to today?

For today’s post I have my card for this week’s Just Add Ink. This time they ask us to add a frame and we know I love frames!!

The card I made is a pocket card. It’s relatively simple to make, you just need to grab your Simply Scored, Big Shot and Squares Collection Framelits. I used Whisper White Card Stock for the base of my project. It is cut to 5 1/2″ x 6 1/4″ and I scored it at 1/4″ and 3 1/4″ on the long side and 1/4″ on the short side. The window is cut out with the Squares Collection Framelits Dies and so is the frame, from Soft Sky. I rounded the top corners of both the frame and the pocket with the 3/16″ Corner Rounder. The pocket is stamped with the A Banner Christmas Stamp Set in Old Olive, Soft Sky and Real Red. under Christmas I adhered a thin piece of Soft Sky and some red sequins are on either side. For the piece that slides inside I cut a piece of Whisper White to 2 3/4″ x 5 1/4″, rounded the corners and punched a hole in the top. I used the Warmth and Wonder Host(ess) Stamp Set and my Stamp-a-ma-jig for all of the images. A piece of Real Red 1/8″ Taffeta Ribbon is tied through the hole in the top to make it easier to pull out. I needed a custom envelope so I used my Envelope Score Board and some Whisper White to make one. A strip of Season of Style Designer Washi Tape goes across the bottom and the pattern matches the stamped image on the front of the card. The pocket card is a nice change from the ordinary and you could do so many different things with it. I’m sure this won’t be the last one that you see on here! Thanks very much for stopping by to see my card for this week’s Just Add Ink – just add frames challenge. I hope you enjoyed the project and have a fun Sunday! 🙂

Freshly Made Sketches 103

It’s the weekend… woo hoo! I went out to dinner with my friends Bill, Anthony and Danielle to Friday’s last night and had a Long Island Iced Tea. It was much needed after I came out to go to work yesterday and discovered that someone had hit my car. I don’t understand how people can ruin something of someone else and just leave. It must be nice to not have a conscience. So yes, that was a great way to start off my day huh?! It had a nice finish so that made it a bit better. The weather here is a little crisp this morning but nice and clear, I guess Fall is on it’s way… boo! I don’t have any definite plans for the weekend, how about you?

Before I get to today’s post I wanted to mention that there have been a bunch of new items added to the Clearance Rack! You can click here to go to my On-Line Store and check them out. I placed a little order yesterday because I just couldn’t resist! 🙂

Now for today’s post I have my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge. Jen B. has given us a nice sketch…

When I first looked at the sketch it reminded me of a formal look but I decided to go a different route. The base of my card is Whisper White Card Stock that I stamped randomly with the Snowflake Soiree Stamp Set in Pool Party. For the greeting I used the nice big Joy and Love Single Stamp. I stamped it in Smoky Slate and again in Island Indigo, the latter is cut out with the Deco Labels Framelits. I used a piece of Cherry Cobbler to back it and some Stampin’ DImensionals to adhere the pieces to the base. I wanted a little snowflake but opted for a piece of Cherry Cobbler punched out with the Boho Blossom Punch instead to cover up the to and from on the stamp. The paper on the right is from the Winter Frost Designer Series Paper Stack and has the corners rounded with the 3/16″ Corner Rounder. A Neutrals Candy Dot in the middle of the blossom and two Regals Candy Dots on the DSP finish off the card. I really like the new Holiday Single Stamps, they are nice and big and the Candy Dots always add that little something extra! Thanks for visiting me today to see my Freshly Made Sketches card for this week’s challenge. I hope that you all have a fun Saturday! 🙂

Paper Craft Crew 58

Wednesday, the halfway mark! Yeah! Work was super busy yesterday, we have lots going on and never quite enough time to finish it. The weather was warm and humid and it’s supposed to get up in the 90’s today. Summer isn’t quite finished yet, which I’m definitely not complaining about. I’m not a huge fan of winter. I was just saying to a friend the other night that if I never saw snow again I would be fine with that. I envy you Floridians! 🙂

Wednesday also means that it’s time for this week’s Paper Craft Crew Sketch…

I will tell you that I was stumped when I saw all those little circles but after spending some quality browsing time with my stamps I felt a little better. The base of my card is Chocolate Chip Card Stock. For the background I used a piece of paper from the Season of Style Designer Series Paper Stack for the lower half and the top is a piece of Crumb Cake. Some Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine goes around the middle and is tied in a bow before I adhered it to the base. Two more pieces of the DSP are flagged and placed behind the greeting which is from the Joy to the World Stamp Set and is stamped in Chocolate Chip and cut out with the Ovals Collection Framelits Dies. The presents are from the Wishing You Stamp Set and are stamped in Cherry Cobbler, Baked Brown Sugar and Old Olive. Some Paper Snip action separates them and they are adhered to a piece of Crumb Cake and then adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I think the little cluster of gifts does a nice job representing the circles and I like the fact that red and green are kept to a minimum! Thanks very much for taking some time out of your day to stop by and see my Design Team card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge. The blog will have some more inspiration for you so you can add your project to the gallery. Have a very enjoyable Wednesday! 🙂

Just Add Ink 181

Hello there peeps! How is the weekend so far? Mine is going pretty well. I got a lot of projects done yesterday and even got to watch some TV, which I never do! Unfortunately my office mate Danielle has decided to share her cold with me. I haven’t been sick in ages so thanks Danielle for helping me to remember how much fun a cold is! LOL!

One of the projects that I got to create yesterday was my card for this week’s Just Add Ink color challenge…

I really love these colors, especially the addition of silver! The base of my card starts off with a piece of Bermuda Bay Card Stock and the background is a piece of Brushed Silver Card Stock that I embossed with the Alphabet Press Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The frame in the middle is created with the Squares Collection Framelits Dies and the background insert is the Regarding Dahlias Stamp Set stamped in Bermuda Bay. Across the bottom I used the Epic Day This & That Rotary Stamp and stamped an important date. LOL! All of the stamped elements on the frame and across the bottom of the card are from the Hello, Lovely Stamp Set. The three images across the bottom are punched out with the 1″ Square Punch. I used the 1 3/8″ Circle Punch to create my fat feathers and adhered them behind a Neutrals Designer Button that is threaded with some Silver 1/8″ Ribbon. I really love the card and it’s collage look. The feathers were fun and easy to make and the Brushed Silver CS embosses great! Thank you very much for visiting me today and taking a look at my card for this week’s Just Add Ink color challenge. Enjoy your Sunday!

Fab Friday 26

Woo hoo! You know what today is!! It’s FRIDAY! If I didn’t start my post off like that you would think you were in the wrong place! LOL! Work was very busy all week and office equipment tried to thwart my progress on numerous occasions. Let’s see if I can prevail today. I’m off to Manhattan tonight with my friend Heather to meet some peeps. It’s supposed to be fall like here today with summer making a comeback over the weekend. I’ll let you know about the festivities tomorrow!

It’s also time for another Fab Friday challenge. This week we have a fun color challenge for you…

Every once in a while when I see that there are five colors I panic a little but then I realized that all of these colors are in the Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper. The base of the card is Sahara Sand Card Stock. For the background I used a piece of the aforementioned DSP that I “ticketed” the corners on and backed with a piece of Chocolate Chip. The snowflakes are from the Festive Flurry Stamp Set and are stamped in Soft Sky and cut out with the Festive Flurry Framelits Dies. The tag is rounded at the top with the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch and “ticketed” on the bottom corners. A piece of Crushed Curry punched out with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack is at the top with some Linen Thread tied in a bow. The greeting is from the Christmas Messages Stamp Set and is stamped in Chocolate Chip. I stamped the Cheer on a cut out from the Label Card Thinlits Dies, I like the 3D effect that it gives the greeting. All of the elements are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. You know that I love a non traditional Christmas card and this one definitely fits the bill. It also has a little bit of rustic country feel to it. Thank you very much for checking in with me today to see my Fab Friday Design Team card for this week’s color challenge. Head on over to the blog to see what my talented teammates have done and enter your card in the gallery so we can see how clever you are! Have a very fab Friday! 🙂

Mojo 309

Ahh… Tuesday already! How was your three day weekend? Mine went exceptionally quickly but I guess that’s because I had a lot going on which is a good thing. Yesterday I spent a lot of time at the craft desk, it was dreary and muggy here almost all day. I got some projects finished, started some new ones and just played for a bit. I did make the mistake of venturing out to BJ’s at one point and it was a mad house. My friend Sandy said that Staples was the same. That’s because everyone just remembered that school starts tomorrow! LOL! Last minute is always the worst idea but we are all guilty of it. This week will be a good week, mainly because it’s a four day week! Woo hoo! 🙂

Today I have my Mojo Monday sketch card for you. The sketch we have this week is provided by Julee Tilman…

My card starts off with a base of Basic Black Card Stock. The background is the “Vintage” Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing folder from last year’s Holiday Catalog in Pumpkin Pie. I thought that it went really well with the Witches’ Brew Designer Series Paper that I used on both of the panels. Each of them are backed with some Basic Gray and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from the Tags 4 You Stamp Set and is punched out with the Bracket Label Punch. A piece of Basic Black that I flagged on both ends goes behind it. A Pumpkin Pie Brights Designer Button with a Basic Glimmer Brad in the center completes the card. So what do you think, doesn’t the Lacy Brocade Folder look neat with the DSP?! I wish they would never retire the embossing folders, you can never have too many of them! Thanks for stopping by to see my card for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch challenge. Enjoy the start of your four day week! 🙂

Paper Players 161

I had a little sleep in this morning in celebration of having a Monday off! Yesterday was very nice, I got some more projects done and went to a BBQ at my friends Brian & Kim’s house. We had some really good chicken sausage and I got to see the kiddies too! Today is overcast and drizzling here so it will be a good crafty day which is fine by me! How is everything by you? What are you up to today?

My card for today is for this week’s Paper Players challenge. This week we have a theme challenge from Sandy. She has asked us to create a fall themed card…

What says fall more than Thanksgiving?! For my card base I used Chocolate Chip Card Stock. The background is a piece of Very Vanilla that I stamped with the woodgrain pattern from the Truly Grateful Stamp Set in Chocolate Chip and backed it with a piece of Tangerine Tango. The wreath is the Wonderful Wreath Stamp and I stamped it in Tangerine Tango and cut it out with my Paper Snips. A piece of Chocolate Chip is flagged on either end and adhered to the back and the wreath and that is adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The turkey and greeting are from the Harvest of Thanks Stamp Set and are both stamped in Chocolate Chip. I cut the turkey out with the Circles Collection Framelits Dies and the greeting with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies. Some more Stampin’ Dimensionals adhere them to the wreath. I really love the woodgrain pattern stamp and the wreath looks pretty good in Tangerine for fall don’t you think? Thank you so much for stopping by to see my card for this week’s fall themed challenge from the Paper Players. I’m truly grateful for your visit and I hope you have a great day! 🙂
