Winter Wonderland Ornaments & The Ink Pad Tags Class!

Sunday… the day of… rest?! Nah! I had a restful Saturday instead. I got my laundry done and did some crafty things, snuck in some TV. I love when I watch a movie and it makes you think, and not what you would expect to think about either. Anyway, today I’m off to Manhattan to hang out with Barbara at The Ink Pad. It’s going to be another chilly day, only in the 40’s! Where did those 60’s go?! They say they will back in a few days and I’m looking forward to their return! What’s on for you today?

My project that I have to share with you today is another ornament, this time a shaker! I cut some Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with the Papertrey Ink Scene It: Basic Backer Die. The background is a piece of Black 110lb Card Stock cut with the Papertrey Ink Scene It: Skyscapes Dies. I adhered it to the backer with Multi-Matte Medium. Another piece of Solar White 110lb is cut out with the Sizzix Circles Framelits. I cut it in a little less than half and then stamped my greeting from the Hero Arts Winter Scene Photopolymer Stamp Set in Memento Tuxedo Black. My skyline is cut out of some Silver Glimmer Paper with the Mama Elephant Cityscape Creative Cuts and also adhered with Multi-Matte Medium. I added some Martha Stewart Chunky Glitter and then adhered the ornament half to the backer with more Multi-Matte Medium. A piece of Hemptique Black & White Baker’s twine tied through the top give me something to hang it on my tree with! I really do love making these ornaments and the Scene It Dies make is super easy! I hope that you enjoyed my ornament, they are fun to make and I hope that you will try one!

One more thing before I go! I keep forgetting to post the tags that we made in my Tags Class at The Ink Pad last Wednesday! So here they are!

Lawn Fawn Tags!

And Mama Elephant Tags! I had a lot of fun making the tags and everyone in class liked them too! I thank you so much for your continued visits! Have a serene Sunday! 🙂

Merry Snowman Ornament

Another gorgeous day in Manhattan! It was in the low 60’s and just warm! I got in early, walked don’t from Penn and went to Starbucks and had a Holiday Spice Flat White and it was delicious! From there it was off to Apple for My Genius Bar appointment for my iPhone. The guy that helped was really good and in the end they swapped out the phone for me! It took the better part of the day to put everything back and hopefully my battery issue is solved! Hanging with Anna and Barbara was fun as always and dinner last night was really good! We were joined by Seth Apter who is a really nice guy! Today I’m going to try and get through some more of my to-do list! Wish me luck! LOL!

The project that I have to share with you today is one that I have been seeing a lot of lately, ornaments, so I decided to give one a try! The base for the ornament is Soft Sky Card Stock cut out with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Circles. Across the lower half is a piece of Solar White 80lb that I cut with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders. All of the images are from the Lawn Fawn Ready, Set Snow Photopolymer Stamp Set and they are all stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black, except for the tree and that is stamped in Simon Says Stamp Green Leaf. I used my Copics to color in the snowmen and then used the Coordinating Lawn Cuts Dies to cut them all out. Before adhering them to the background I stamped some snowflakes in Hero Arts Tide Pool Ink and stamped the greeting from the Lawn Fawn Trim the Tree Photopolymer Stamp Set in Memento Tuxedo Black. Santa and the sleigh and the tree are adhered with SNAIL and the snowmen with Foam Tape. I brushed the tree and the snowmen with some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen and then adhered the ornament half to the background with Multi-Matte Medium. A piece of Lawn Fawn Green Sparkle Lawn Trimmings Cord tied to the top and my ornament is ready to hang on my tree! I had fun making this project and will definitely make some more! I hope that you enjoyed it and are inspired to try one yourself! Thank you for coming by today, I wish you all a super Sunday! 🙂

Mojo Monday 427

Oh Monday, here you are again! LOL! I really enjoyed my weekend and hope that you did too! I worked on some projects yesterday and watched a movie in the evening. Even I like to have a day that is just kind of relaxed every once in a while! Today I’m going to go over and see my friend Sue. We are going to work on listing some stuff on eBay. I cleaned out the Stampin’ Galley and now I need to get the boxes out of the kitchen! I will also work on finishing up the rest of the tags for my class at The Ink Pad next week!

The start of the week… well that means the it’s time for another Mojo Monday sketch…

Oh, I love that little round tag! My card starts with a base of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. My background is a piece of paper from the Lawn Fawn Snow Day 6×6 Paper Pad. I used the Lawn Fawn Stitched Squares Dies to cut out four pieces of Real Red to create the window look on the card. Across the bottom is a piece of Soft Suede that I used the Lawn Fawn Stitched Borders dies on and adhered it to the card with Fun Foam and SNAIL. My tag is a piece of Solar White 110lb that is cut out with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle Tags. I stamped the images from the Lawn Fawn Season’s Tweetings Photopolymer Stamp Set, the birds and greeting in Memento Tuxedo Black and the Branch in Hero Arts Cup O Joe Ink. The birds are colored in with Copics and adhered to the tag with Foam Tape along with the branch and greeting. I added a little Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen to the ear muffs and scarf on the birds and tied a piece of Silver Sparkle Lawn Trimmings Cord thought the top. A piece of Magnet Tape holds the tag to the card so that way the recipient has the option of removing the tag and using as an ornament! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge! Head on over to the blog and check out the rest of the team’s card and enter your one in the gallery! Thank you so much for dropping by today! I wish you all a marvelous Monday! 🙂

Fab Friday 78

Are you able to move yet or are you still stuffed like a turkey from yesterday’s meal?! I was pretty well behaved although I did eat more than my share of Erika’s stuffed meatballs! Dinner was very low key and I was back in the Stampin’ Galley by 6:00. I made the mistake of turing on the TV and got sucked into Night at the Museum. Taylor had to work until 2:30am at Michaels and we ran over to Target when she got out. I am thinking that this morning will be another late one! LOL! So I think that I will schedule this post!

Friday and it’s a Fab Friday too! We have a fun sketch for you this time around…

I decided that I would use this month’s Simon Says Stamp Card Kit to make my card! The base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I adhered a piece of Real Red to the front and used a piece of the Pinkfresh Studios 6×6 Paper that came in the kit for the background. All of the images and greeting, including the sequins, are from the Gifts of Love Photopolymer Stamp Set also included in the kit. I stamped the tree in Simon Says Stamp Teal Ink and the trunk in Khaki. My sequins, cat and gifts along with the ornament are stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored in with Copics. I used some punches to punch out the sequins and the rest of the images are cut out with my Paper Snips. My greeting is heat embossed in Hero Arts White Embossing Powder on another piece of Real Red and adhered to the background. The gifts are adhered with SNAIL and the cat and tree with Foam Tape. Finally I adhered the sequins with some Bling Glue Dots and added a thick layer of Glossy Accents to them for a little more shine! I love all of the goodies in this month’s kit and I especially love the colors! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for the Fab Friday sketch challenge! Stop by the blog to see what the rest of the Design Team has come up with to inspire you! Thanks you so much for visiting today and I wish you all a fabulous Friday! 🙂

November Lawn Fawn Class at Scrap-A-Latte!

Phew! Another week done! Time is just flying by… or is just me?! I enjoyed my day yesterday after my headache left! I went over to visit my friend Christina, her son Tyler and her sister Jen. It was the first time that I have seen her house and it’s really nice and really big! After that I came home and puttered around the house before heading over to Scrap-A-Latte. Danielle came early and we went over to Red Robin to have dinner. I miss seeing her at work and it was great to catch up! Card class was fun as always and I have the projects that we made to share with you today. This morning I’m heading into Manhattan for a day at The Ink Pad which I always enjoy! What’s on for you today?

This month’s card class featured holiday projects and there were five! Two cards, two tags and a gift card holder all using Lawn Fawn stamps and dies! Here they are…

A cut little card with the two sweet little reindeer from Toboggan Together!

A nice simple card using the Deck the Halls Set!

Two tags using some more stamps from the Toboggan Together Set!

And finally my ode to the Starbucks Red Cup using the Love You A Latte Set!

I have one final goodie to share with you today! My friend Gina who was in The Ink Pad last week was also at Card Class on Thursday morning! She made this with the dies that she had purchased and gave it to me! It’s an awesome little house using the Tim Holtz Vintage Dwelling and Village Winter Dies!

Mojo Monday 424

And it’s Monday! My day was pretty quiet yesterday. I crafted for a bit and stopped by at Scrap-A-Latte to chat with Renee and Angie. I had the top down on the way there, it was 60 degrees and with the heat on it was quite comfortable! LOL! I finally did my laundry yesterday, two weeks is too long! This morning I’m off to Scrap-A-Latte to watch the store for Renee while she takes a much needed day off. Stop by and say hello if you are in the area!

Monday’s mean a new sketch from Mojo Monday and here is this week’s…

I wanted to play with the new Hero Arts Monthly Kit for November that my friend Kathy Racoosin designed so that’s what I used on today’s card! The base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I used a piece of Simon Says Stamp Wood Paper for my background and adhered a piece of Adhesive Cork Sheet across the middle. Two pieces of Real Red are flagged and adhered in the upper right corner. My greeting is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black using the Hero Arts A Bit of Kindness Wood Mount Stamp. It’s part of Jennifer McGuire’s Share Handmade Kindness Campaign! I rounded the corners with the Project Life Corner Rounder and backed it with a piece of Black 110lb before adhering it to the card. My cute ornament is from the Hero Arts Monthly Kit for November, I stamped the ball and all of the images in Memento Tuxedo Black. The images are colored in with Copics and either die cut with the dies included in the kit or cut out with Paper Snips. For the top of the ornament I heat embossed it on Black 110lb with Ranger Liquid Platinum Embossing Powder. That too is cut out with Paper Snips and adhered to the ball with SNAIL. I adhered the ornament to the card with Fun Foam and SNAIL. I love that little scene inside the ornament, especially the gnome! There are some great images in the Hero Arts Monthly Kit for November along with an additional set of coordinating dies that I’m waiting for. I think they are still available too! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch! Stop by the blog and check out the rest of the Team’s cards and enter yours in the gallery! Thank you for visiting with me today! Have an awesome Monday! 🙂

Pawesome Birthday

Phew! I must admit that I’m a little tired this morning! A happy Sunday to you! Yesterday morning I had breakfast with Kim and Maggie at the diner near Kim’s new apartment. After that I made my way downtown. I had a fun day at The Ink Pad with Barbara! I got play with the new Silhouette Mint Machine! You can make your own custom stamps in minutes with it! It comes with software to design the stamp and then you “print” it in this little tiny machine. After it comes out you adhere it to a block and the ink it. After a little while the ink settles in and it stamps about 100 images before it needs re-inking! I think I need one of those! LOL! So much fun! When I got home last night around 9:00 I had a piece of toast for dinner and then made two cards. This morning I’m off to Manhattan again to visit my friends Jon and Mary for a bit then it’s back out to the Island for Daniel’s 2nd birthday! I can’t believe that he is two already! This weekend they moved into their new house and right at the end of the street is the beach! Here is a cute picture of Daniel from Saturday…

Seeing as today is Daniel’s birthday I thought I would post the card, I don’t think that he reads my blog yet, I hope not! LOL! The card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. For the background I cut out a piece of Daffodil Delight and some Cucumber Crush with the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangles. The Cucumber Crush has a Simon Says Stamp Stitched Hills and Slopes cut across the top and is adhered to the Daffodil Delight piece with SNAIL and then that is adhered to the card with more SNAIL. I stamped the Happy Birthday in Memento Tuxedo Black from the Simon Says Stamp Birthday Messages Photopolymer Stamp Set in the lower right corner. The You are is from the Simon Says Stamp You Are Pawesome Photopolymer Stamp Set and is also stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black. I cut the word pawesome out with the Simon Says Stamp Cat and Dog Pawesome Craft Dies from a piece of Real Red and adhered that to the card with Multi-Matte Medium. My cute little dog is also from the Pawesome Stamp Set and is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored in with my Copics. I added some Glossy Accents to his nose and tag on his collar and adhered him with SNAIL to the card. Lastly, I die cut a pice of Early Espresso using the Simon Says Stamp Paws Craft Die and adhered that to the card with Foam Tape. I love the dog and the “Pawesome” greeting, it makes for a fun little boy birthday card! I hope that you enjoyed today’s card! Thank you for checking in with me today! I wish you all a stupendous Sunday! 🙂

Fab Friday 76

Is it Friday already?! That week just flew by! I got my tires put on my car yesterday and spent an hour or so with Daniel in the car. He likes to push button, every button! Last night I ran up to see Renee quickly and then stopped at BestBuy to get ink for the printer. This morning I’m off to Manhattan to hang with Barbara at The Ink Pad for the day. It keeps me out of trouble, well, sort of! LOL! This Sunday I’ll be at the Society of Scribes Holiday Fair at The Brotherhood Synagogue with Anna helping out with the booth and demoing the Brother Scan-n-Cut. Stop by and say hello if you are in the area!

It’s time once again for another Fab Friday Challenge and we have a sketch for you…

My card today uses a new stamp set from Mama Elephant. The base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I used my Range Mini Ink Blending Tool and some Simon Says Stamp Audrey Blue Ink to create the background. It’s cut out with the Mama Elephant Sew Fancy Creative Cuts Dies and adhered to the card with Fun Foam and SNAIL. A piece of EK Success Wood Sheet is cut out with another one of the dies and placed on top of a piece of Cork Sheet with the ends flagged. The images and greeting are from the Mama Elephant Blogging Buddies Photopolymer Stamp Set and are all stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored in with Copics. I used the coordinating Blogging Buddies Creative Cuts Dies to cut them out and they are adhered to the wood circle with Foam Tape and SNAIL. A few Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear and Summer Mix Sequins finish off the card. I love that little iMac like computer, it reminds me of the one that I look at everyday!

Paper Players 268

We had a very wet and windy Wednesday! Say that fast a few times! LOL! I did spend a lot of the day indoors. I watched TV and crafted and thought about straightening up… that unfortunately didn’t happen. There is always today for that… or not! I ordered myself four new tires from TireRack.com, thanks Andrea for the suggestion. They should be here today and hopefully I will be able to find somewhere to install them! I did need new tires and I’m glad that I got the flat here instead of in Manhattan! See, there is a bright side to everything! Oh, before I forget I was reading Jennifer McGuire’s blog the other day and she linked to a story that I think all of you should read! The video isn’t really relevant but the article describes what we have all known for a long time! Click HERE to take a look!

My card for today’s post is for this week’s Paper Players challenge…

Guess what came yesterday… my Simon Kit! Couldn’t wait to play with that so I didn’t! The card base for today is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I dug in the archives and found some Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper and decided that would make a nice background for my pie! The circle is cut from some Kraft Card Stock with the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Circles Dies and adhered to the card with Fun Foam and SNAIL. I stamped the apple, pie and greeting on Solar White 80lb, the apple and pie in Memento Tuxedo Black and the banner with the greeting in Simon Says Stamp Stone and Black Ink. Some coloring in of the apple and pie with my Copics before adding some Ranger Rock Candy Distress Glitter to the top of the pie and Glossy Accents to the filling and apple before cutting them out with my Paper Snips and adhering them and the greeting to the circle with Foam Tape. To balance it out I added a few Pretty Pink Posh Raspberry, Marshmallow and Sparkling Clear Sequins around the images. Doesn’t that apple and pie look good enough to eat with the “sugar” and Glossy Accents?! LOL! I Hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Paper Players challenge! I had fun making the card and I thank you for coming by to check it out! Have an amazing Thursday peeps! 🙂

SIP Challenge 19 – Tic-Tac-Toe!

Hello! I had another one of the I slept in late mornings! Have to stop those before they become a habit! LOL! Yesterday I spent the day watching the store for Renee. I played with lots of goodies and got a few projects done. I also spoke to Andrea on FaceTime, my parent’s stopped by for a visit and I got speak to Michael for a while. After I left I stopped by my friend Louis’ and we went out for some dinner before I headed home. I also got to FaceTime with Jules for a bit before heading to bed. Not a bad Monday! 🙂

So if it’s Tuesday that means that it’s time for this week’s Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge! This week we have a fun Halloween Tic-Tac-Toe Board from Sandy!

I made my card while I was at the store yesterday, I chose the top row but didn’t have my sequins with me so I added some Glossy Accents to his eyes and beak! The card base for today is Recollections Ivory 110lb Card Stock and the front is covered in a piece of Black 110lb. My background is cut from a piece of Shale Card Stock using the Tim Holtz Birch Trees Thinlits Die. I used a little Vintage Photo Distress Ink and my Mini Ink Blending Tool to give it a little definition before adhered it to the card with Multi-Matte Medium. The scared little bird is from the Tim Holtz Bird Crazy Stamp Set, the hat and jack-o-latern are from the Crazy Things Stamp Set. I colored them all in with Copics and then used the coordinating dies to cut them out. His eyes, beak and wings are cut out separately and they are adhered with Foam Tape. Some Glossy Accents on his eyes and beak along with a little Sakura Black Glaze Pen on the jack-o-latern give him a little more life! He is adhered to the card with Foam Tape along with the greeting that is cut from Pumpkin Pie using the Stampin’ Up! Little Letters Thinlits. I thought that the BOO worked well because he really does look scared! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge!
