Freshly Made Sketches #42

Hello everyone and welcome to Friday! It’s supposed to feel like 110 degrees here today, I’m not looking forward to that! I am looking forward to this weekend because my box of goodies from the Holiday Catalog Pre-Order arrived yesterday and I can’t wait to play with all of the new stuff! 🙂

Today’s post is for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches. This week the sketch comes from Jennifer T. and she has given us this…

I have been wanting to use the Pleasant Poppies Background stamp for a while now and I realized that if I cut it out I could use it for not just a background stamp! The base of the card is Crumb Cake Card Stock and I used the En Français Wood Mount Background Stamp inked in Crumb Cake for a nice tone-on-tone look. I embossed a piece of Real Red Card Stock with the Perfect Polkadots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and across that I added a piece of Wild Wasabi that I embossed with the Delicate Designs Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The Pleasant Poppies Clear Mount Background Stamp is stamped in Basic Black and colored in with Real Red, Wild Wasabi and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Write Markers. After I cut it out with my Paper Snips I mounted it to a piece of Crumb Cake and then mounted that to the Real Red piece with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from the Itty Bitty Banners Stamp Set and is stamped in Real Red and cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies. I really like the color combination and I love the Pleasant Poppies Stamp. I hope that you enjoyed this weeks Freshly Made Sketches Challenge card and that you have a great day!

Mojo 248

Hello everyone and Happy Independence Day! It’s so nice to have off in the middle of the week! I hope that you have an evening of safe fireworks watching planned for later. Today is my dog Winston’s most unfavorite day of the year. He will spend the evening shaking himself to piece because of the noise. He does it during thunderstorms too but July 4th is much worse. I have some parties to go to today and my friend Kim is out form the city to accompany me.

Today’s post is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. This weeks sketch is provided by Carole Burrage…

SInce Stampin’ Up! doesn’t have any oval dies any more I used the Labels Collection Framelits instead. The base of my card is Very Vanilla Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Cajun Craze with the Perfect Polkadots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. To the top of that I added a piece of Comfort CafĂ© Designer Series Paper and I punched a piece of Very Vanilla with the Scallop Trim Border Punch to go along the bottom edge. The piece of ribbon across the middle is Soft Suede 3/8″ Taffeta Ribbon and I tied a knot on the right side and snipped it at an angel with my Paper Snips. The stamped image is from the From My Heart Stamp Set and is stamped in Cajun Craze. I embossed a piece of Soft Suede with the Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and mounted it to a piece of Very Vanilla Card Stock. I adhered the stamped image and the backing to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. For the a nice finish I used one of the Naturals Designer Series Buttons and a Stampin’ Dimensional to adhere a piece of Cajun Craze that I punched out with the 1/2″ Circle Punch. To the center of it I added a Basic Jewels Large Pearl and used a Mini Glue Dot to adhere it to the card. I love the colors in the Comfort CafĂ© DSP and I really like the way the button looks with the paper and the pearl in the middle. I hope that y0u enjoyed this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card and thank you as always for checking in. Have a safe and happy 4th of July!

Paper Players #102

Hello everyone and happy Monday! How was everyone’s weekend? Mine was good, I got to see some friends, craft and my brother and his fiancĂ© picked up the Wedding invitations! I’m so happy they are finished and that they were happy with them. Next up… thank you cards! 🙂

Today’s post is for this week’s Paper Players Challenge. This week we have a theme challenge, Christmas in July…

I was very happy to get to use some of my new Christmas stamps. The base of my card is Cherry Cobbler Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Very Vanilla with the Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and adhered it to the front of the card. The greeting at the top is from the Cheerful Christmas Stampin’ Around Wheel. I used the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack to punch out the letters. Then I used the Ticket Duo Builder Punch with Gumball Green Card Stock and adhered the letters to it with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The middle is a piece of Cherry Cobbler cut out with the Labels Collection Framelits Dies. I stamped the image from the Chock-Full of Cheer Stamp Set in Gumball Green and punched it our with the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch. The ornament loop is stamped in VersaMark and the heat embossed with Pewter Stampin’ Emboss Powder. In the middle is a Vintage Faceted Designer Button with a piece of Cherry Cobbler punched out with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack and a Basic Jewels Rhinestone adhered in the center. The whole thing is mounted to the label with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The paper bow at the top was also stamped in Cherry Cobbler using the Cheerful Christmas Wheel and cut and assembled with Sticky Strip. Another Rhinestone is adhered in the middle. The bottom image is also from the Chock-Full of Cheer Stamp Set and is stamped in Gumball Green. I used still more Rhinestones in the middle of each image and mounted it to a piece of Gumball Green Card Stock and still more Stampin’ Dimensionals adhere it to the card. I’m loving the brighter Gumball Green for the holiday’s this year. I hope that you enjoyed today’s Paper Players Challenge card and that you are inspired to make some holiday cards too. Thank you so much for visiting and have a great day!

Happy Anniversary Cathy & Paul!

Good morning all! How is everyone’s weekend so far? Mine has been great! I finished the Wedding invites, made a few boxes, saw my friend Carol and then went to the city with my daughter to see my friends that are in town from Missouri. Angie, Katey, Dawn, Mackenzie, Kim, Taylor and I all went to Central Park and then just hung out at the apartment and laughed and talked. It was so good to see everyone and I hope to go and see them soon. 🙂

Today’s project was made for my friend Carol to give to our friends Cathy & Paul for their Anniversary. It consists of a box and card. The box is made with the Simply Scored Scoring Tool. The top is Pool Party and the bottom is Crumb Cake. I adhered a photo of the lovely couple with SNAIL and used my Paper Cutter to cut out the Crumb Cake frame around the photo. The images are from the Happy Hour Stamp Set and are stamped in Pool Party, Calypso Coral and Island Indigo and cut out with my Paper Snips. The top greeting is from the same set and is stamped in Calypso Coral and punched out with the Large Oval Punch. I took a thin strip of Pool Party and flagged the ends and mounted it behind the oval for a little more interest. For the lower greeting I used the Memorable Moments Stamp Set and stamped it in Island Indigo and punched that out with the Extra Large Oval Punch. Three Basic Jewels Rhinestones complete the box and give it a little bling!

The card is made using the Note Cards & Envelopes Pack. The card is 3 1/2″ x 5″. I embossed some Island Indigo with the Fancy Fan Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card front on top of a piece of Crumb Cake. The two champagne glasses are from the Embellished Events Stamp Set and are stamped in Pool Party and cut out with my Paper Snips. I added some more Basic Jewels Rhinestones to the bubbles and adhered them to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set and is stamped in Calypso Coral. I used the Word WIndow Punch to punch it out and then a piece of Calypso Coral, punched out with the Modern Label Punch, is placed behind it. I really like the project and love that it all coordinates even though it’s different stamp sets. I hope that you enjoyed today’s project and that you are inspired to make some boxes! Thank you so much for stopping by and have an awesome day!

Happy Anniversary Cathy & Paul!

CCMC 208

Happy Saturday everyone! I hope that you all made it through the week ok. I have to finish the wedding invites today and then later I’m going to go into the city with my daughter to see my peeps! If it’s as hot today as it was yesterday I think a movie would be a great idea! Today’s card is for this weeks Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This week we have a color challenge…

These are three colors that I have never put together before but I love the combination. The base of my card is Basic Gray Card Stock. The top of the background is a piece from the Brights Stack Designer Series Paper. The bottom is a piece of Very Vanilla with the flourish from the Everything Eleanor Stamp Set stamped in Pumpkin Pie. I used a piece of Pumpkin Pie Ribbon from the Clearance Rack to cover the seam. The flowers and the gray stamped plaque are also from the Everything Eleanor Stamp Set. The plaque is stamped in Basic Grey. I used the Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies to cut out the greeting which is stamped in Basic Grey on Pumpkin Pie and is from the From My Heart Stamp Set. Both pieces are adhered to each other and to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The flowers are stamped on Watercolor Paper in Basic Black Ink (which I have found that if you let dry for about 10 minutes it is waterproof) and I used my Aqua Painter to color them in with Real Red and Pumpkin Pie Ink. They too are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I hope that you enjoyed this week’s Create With Connie and Mary Color Challenge card. I’m really happy with the card and will definitely be using this color combination again. Thank you so much for dropping by and have a great Saturday!

Easy Cupcake Flag Doily B’Day

Good morning and a very happy Friday to you all! I had to work a Golf Outing yesterday and it was hot and buggy, not my favorite two things at all! I hope that you had a better day and that you have some fun things planned for this weekend. Today’s card is another sort of CASE from the new Holiday Catalog. The basic idea for the card is similar but I changed up a lot of stuff too. I started with a base of Naturals Card Stock. I took a piece of Whisper White and made a large flagged end on the bottom. Two strips punched out with the Dotted Scalloped Ribbon Border Punch from Pool Party Card Stock are adhered under the flag. I used the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack and my Paper-Piercer across the top and bottom. The image is from the Easy Events Stamp Set and I have been looking to use it for a while, it has been neglected. 🙂 I colored it in with Wisteria Wonder and So Saffron Stampin’ Write Markers. The greeting is from the Create A Cupcake Stamp Set and is stamped in Basic Black on Pool Party and is punched out with the Decorative Label Punch. The smallest doily from the Delicate Doilies Large Sizzlits Die is cut out from Wisteria Wonder Card Stock and is adhered on the back. Two SIlver Mini Brads are on either side and it is adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I hope that you enjoyed today’s card and are inspired to change things up a bit too! Have a great day!

Freshly Made Sketches #41

Hello and good morning to you all. How was everyone’s Wednesday? Mine was great! If you ever get the chance to see Wicked go! It was just as good the second time as it was the first! I had a great day in the city with my peeps. Hopefully the weather will cooperate on Saturday because we are all planning a little trip to the beach. 🙂

Today’s card is for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches Challenge. Cindy has given us this sketch to work from…

I started my card with a base of Crumb Cake cut to 8 1/2″ x 4 1/4′ and folded in half. The left side of the background is Rose Red Card Stock embossed with the Fancy Fan Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The right side is a piece of Floral District Designer Series Paper. The stamped image is from the Tea Shoppe Stamp Set and is stamped in Crumb Cake on Whisper White and backed with a piece of Crumb Cake. The thin strip of Rose Red across the bottom is flagged using the 1″ Square Punch. I used the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack and the Paper-Piercer to pierce the line down the center. The greeting is also from the Tea Shoppe Stamp Set and is stamped in Rose Red and Crumb Cake and punched out with the Modern Label Punch. All of the stamped items are mounted to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The card is very clean and simple and I love the contrast of the bright Rose Red with the soft Crumb Cake. I hope that you enjoyed this weeks Freshly Made Sketches Challenge card. Thank you very much for visiting and have a great day!

Crumb Pool Beautiful B’day CASE

Good morning and welcome to Wednesday! The middle of the week means that the weekend is that much closer. I have off from work today and am going into the city to see Wicked with my friends. I have see it before but it’s such a great play I can’t wait to see it again! For today’s card I was suffering from Holiday Catalog envy so I kind of CASE’d a card from it. Obviously I didn’t have the same products so I used what I have and changed a few things. The base of the card is Crumb Cake Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Crumb Cake with the Houndstooth Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The piece of ribbon is from a while ago, Very Vanilla 5/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon, that I think I got from the Clearance Rack. I wrapped a piece of Pool Party Bakers Twine around it twice and tied a bow. The greeting is from the Beautiful Birthday Wood Mount Stamp and is stamped in Pool Party on Very Vanilla. I edged the piece with the Finishing Touches Edgelits Dies and also used them to cut out the piece of Pool Party on the bottom. I wrapped another piece of Pool Party Bakers Twine around that and adhered a thin piece of Lucky Limeade Card Stock just below. All of the pieces are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. For a little bling I adhered a Vintage Faceted Button with a Mini Glue Dot to the Lucky Limeade strip. I love the card and can’t wait to try other variations on it. I hope that you enjoyed it too and thank you, as always, for checking in. Have an awesome day!

Hello everyone and how are you all doing today? I’m doing well. It rained here again yesterday and actually was a little chilly out last night, however it’s nice and sunny and cool outside this morning. Today’s card is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. Julee Tilman has give us this to work with…

Like I keep saying one day I will give the round card a try but for this week I went with square again. The base of the card is Gumball Green Card Stock. I used my Big Shot to emboss a piece of Primrose Petals Card Stock with the Petals-A-Plenty Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Then I cut a frame out of Whisper White Card Stock with my Paper Trimmer and the randomly stamped one of the images from the Four Seasons Stamp Set (Host(ess)) in Gumball Green. I placed a piece of Patio Party Designer Series Paper behind it and adhered it to the card with SNAIL. The band underneath the main image is Summer Starfruit and I used a piece of Gumball Green 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon down the middle. The large stamped image is also from the Four Seasons Stamp Set and is stamped in Primrose Petals and punched out using the 2 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch. I stamped the image a second time and punched the middle out with the 1″ Circle Punch. The whole thing is adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set and is stamped in Summer Starfruit and cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies. I really like the new In-Colors and the unusual combination on today’s card especially. I hope that you enjoyed today’s post and thank you so much for checking in. Have a great day! 🙂

Paper Players #101

Good morning everyone! How was your weekend? Mine was very nice. My friend Kim was out for the weekend, the party was great on Saturday and yesterday it was beautiful outside. It rained a little here last night and looks like rain today too but all in all it was a great weekend. Today’s post is for this weeks Paper Players Challenge. This week Lesley has given us this sketch…

My card starts with a base of Certainly Celery Card Stock. In the middle is a piece of Subtles Collection Designer Series Paper and on either side I used the Large Scallop Edgelits Die with some Rose Red Card Stock. The stamped images are from the Stippled Blossoms Stamp Set, a 2 Step Stamp Set, and are stamped in Pretty In Pink and Rose Red for the flower and the leaves are stamped in Certainly Celery and Wild Wasabi. I cut both images out with my handy Paper Snips and mounted them on Stampin’ Dimensionals to a cutout from the Delicate Doilies Large Sizzlits Die. The band of Wild Wasabi Card Stock across the middle of the card is embossed with the Delicate Designs Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Finally the greeting is from the Sweet Essentials Stamp Set, stamped in Rose Red, I punched it out with the Modern Label Punch and then punched a piece of Rose Red Card Stock with the same punch and cut it half and adhered it to the back. The color combination is nice and bright and cheery and the greeting makes the card perfect for a birthday. I hope that you enjoyed this weeks Paper Players Challenge card. Thank you very much for visiting and have a great Monday!
