  • CCMC 221 and Guest Designer!

    A very good morning to you all! I have some exciting news to share with you today. I will be a guest designer on Create with Connie and Mary for the months of October and November!! I’m so happy to be a part of such a talented team for the next two months! I have been a fan of theirs since I started with Stampin’ Up! last year. What an honor! For my first week with the talented ladies we have a sketch…

    I love the simplicity of it and I’m a big fan of flags! I wanted to keep the card clean and simple so I thought the best stamp to showcase would be the Heart of Christmas. The base of my card is Early Espresso Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Primrose Petals with the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The flags are created from strips of Candlelight Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper. I stamped the Heart of Christmas Stamp in Lucky Limeade and again in Early Espresso. I cut out the center of the sentiment on the Early Espresso piece and mounted it to the Lucky Limeade piece with Stampin’ Dimensionals. It’s backed by a piece of Real Red and a piece of Early Espresso before being adhered to the card with more Stampin’ Dimensionals. The Heart of Christmas stamp is definitely one of my favorites out of the new Holiday Catalog. I hope that you enjoyed my Guest Designer card this week. Head on over to Create with Connie and Mary and post your card for this week’s challenge, I look forward to seeing what you do with the sketch! Thank you so much for visiting and have a wonderful day!

  • Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge 10

    Good morning! I hope that the weather is better by you than it is here, it rained most of the day yesterday and it’s still not great out this morning. I had a nice dinner with my friend Heather and her parents last night and then we listened to some music for a bit. I love my peeps!

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

    I was thinking Christmas when I first saw the sketch but since I’m loving Halloween this year I went with that instead. The base of my card is Basic Black Card Stock. I used the Chevron Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on a piece of Crumb Cake for the background. A thin strip of Howlstooth & Scaringbone Designer Series Paper is adhered across the upper half. A piece of Tangerine Tango is cut out with the Labels Collection Framelits Dies and pierced with the Festive Paper-Piercing Pack. The stamped images are from the Ghoulish Googlies Clear Mount Bundle.The bundle comes with the Stamp Set and the Designer Kit. I stamped the mummy in Crumb Cake and the bats in Basic Black and cut them out with my Paper Snips. They are all adhered to the label and card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used my Jewelry Tag Punch to punch out the Boo! from the Tiny Tags Clear Mount Stamp Set and also punched out a piece of Basic Black. They are attached to the card with a Neutrals Collection Brad. The greeting is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set and is stamped in Tangerine Tango and punched out with the Word Window Punch. It too is adhered to the card with Stampin Dimensionals. I love the Ghoulish Googlies Stamp Set, especially the little bats! I hope that you enjoyed this weeks Paper Craft Crew Design Team Challenge card. Click on over to the site and upload your card for this weeks challenge and don’t forget to get ready for the grand opening. We will have blog candy, new challenges and so much more!

  • Paper Players #115 – All 9!

    Good Monday morning! I hope that everyone had a nice weekend. I was in Manhattan most of the day yesterday visiting a bunch of friends and dropping off an order. I love Manhattan, especially when the weather cools down into the upper 60’s. My friend Kim and I had dinner at this restaurant called Nick’s on 94th and 2nd Ave. The food there is excellent, if you are ever in the area I definitely recommend it!

    Today’s post is for this week’s Paper Players Challenge. This week Anne Marie has given us this Tic-Tac-Toe challenge…

    I looked at it for a while and just couldn’t decide which ones I wanted to do, so I did all nine! The base of my card is So Saffron Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Baja Breeze with the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for my background. The cake is from the Love & Laughter Stamp set and is stamped in Basic Gray on So Saffron. I cut it a little longer and wrapped a piece of Primrose Petals 3/8″ Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon around the bottom before I adhered it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The candle is punched form the Cupcake Builder Punch from Basic Gray and Primrose Petals and adhered with 2-Way Glue. The flags are Basic Gray and Primrose Petals. The trees are from the Merry Minis Stamp Set, stamped in Primrose Petals and Basic Gray, and are punched out with the Merry Minis Punch Pack and adhered to the flags with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Three Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons are adhered to the flags with Mini Glue Dots and all have a Basic Jewels Rhinestone in the middle. The Happy Birthday greeting is from the Memorable Moments Stamp Set and is stamped in Basic Gray. The Congratulations greeting is from the Love & Laughter Stamp Set and the Merry Christmas is from the Petite Pairs Stamp Set and is stamped in Primrose Petals. The “&” is from the Family Reunion Stamp Set and is also stamped in Primrose Petals. All of the greetings are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. So let’s see… Christmas, Sparkle/Bling, Ribbon, Buttons, Wedding, Yellow & Gray, Red & Blue, Element repeated in 3’s and Birthday… Check! I hope that you enjoyed this weeks packed Paper Players Challenge card. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

  • Fab Friday 3

    Good morning peeps! How is the weekend going so far? Mine is going great! I made some cards yesterday and then went to see my friends. We had a nice time and celebrated Brian’s birthday. Heather made some amazing little cupcakes and there were some great brownies too!

    Today’s post is for the Fab Friday Challenge. This time we have a sketch…

    I am feeling the fall weather creep up on us so I went with a fall themed card. The base of the card is Island Indigo Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Lucky Limeade with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and adhere it to the card with SNAIL. The flagged banners are cut from the Orchard Harvest Designer Series Paper and are also adhere with SNAIL. I used the Autumn Accents Bigz Die to cut out the large leaf from a piece of Crumb Cake. My Stamp-a-ma-jig is used to get the image from Tweet Leaves, stamped in Early Espresso, perfectly centered on the cutout. The greeting is from the Itty Bitty Banners Stamp Set and is stamped in Raspberry Ripple and cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies. I used some Stampin’ Dimensionals to mount both the leaf and the greeting to the card. I hope you enjoyed my card f0r Fab Friday Challenge this time. Thank you for checking in with me and have an amazing day! 🙂

  • PPA 143

    Hey everyone, how is it going? Things are pretty good on my end. I am missing my cousins. I feel the nip of fall in the air and I’m not thinking that I like it. I think I am meant to live where it doesn’t really get that cold, maybe Florida or Arizona. Oh well, I couldn’t leave Long Island, I would miss my peeps way too much! 🙂

    Today’s post is for the Pals Paper Arts Challenge. This time we have a nice clean and simple sketch…

    I went with a Christmas card with traditional colors but I only used two colors for the whole card. The base of the card is Very Vanilla Card Stock. I used a piece of Be of Good Cheer Designer Series Paper for the background. The panel on the right is embossed with the Northern Flurry Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I stamped the greeting from the More Merry Messages Stamp Set in Cherry Cobbler. The piece under that is from the Cheerful Christmas Wheel and is also stamped in Cherry Cobbler. I used a piece of Cherry Cobbler 1/2″ Seam Binding Ribbon and a Round Designer Ribbon Slide that is adhered around the back with Sticky Strip. The ornament is from the Chock Full of Cheer Stamp Set and is also stamped in Cherry Cobbler and mounted to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love the monochromatic look if the card and the More Merry Messages Stamp Set is becoming a holiday favorite of mine. I hope that you enjoyed this Pals Paper Arts Challenge card. Thank you so much for checking and enjoy your day!

  • Mojo 260

    Good morning everyone and how are we today? I’m a little bummed because I took my cousin’s and uncle to the airport last night. I will miss them, we some good times and a lot of laughs. Hopefully I will see them again very soon! Today’s post is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. This week Julee Tilman has given us this round or square choice…

    I had a good idea of what I was going to use as soon as I saw the sketch. The base of my card is Midnight Muse Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Very Vanilla with the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The next layer is a piece of Midnight Muse and a small piece of Brushed Silver Metallic Paper. The main layer consists of a piece of Summer Starfruit that I used the Scallop Trim Corner and Edge punches on. I then used the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack and Paper Piercing Tool to pierce around the edge of a piece of Midnight Muse. I punched out a piece of Summer Starfruit with the 1 3/4″ Scallop Circle Punch and pierced the scallops. A piece of Very Vanilla is stamped with a stamp from the Mixed Medley Host(ess) Stamp Set in Versa-Mark, heat embossed with some Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder and punched out with the 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle Punch. The Merry Christmas, also from the Mixed Medley Set, is stamped in Midnight Muse and punched out with the 3/4″ Circle Punch. They are all adhered to each other and the card with Stampin’ DImensionals. I used a Vintage Faceted Designer Button and some Midnight Muse 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon with a piece of Silver Glimmer Paper that I punched out with the circle from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack for a little bling. Midnight Muse and Summer Starfruit are definitely one of my favorite color combinations. I also love the Brushed Silver Metallic Paper. I hope that you enjoyed this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card. Thank you for visiting and have a amazing day! 🙂

  • Paper Players #114

    Good Monday morning everyone! I hope that you all had a good weekend. Mine was very busy but good. I will be sad to see my cousins go home later today. It is always fun to have them here and hopefully they will be back soon! Today’s post is for this week’s Paper Players Challenge. This week Ann has given us a sketch…

    I wanted to keep this card nice and simple, I have to start thinking about making my own Christmas cards and this one would be easy to duplicate. The base of the card is Primrose Petals Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Early Espresso with the Fancy Fan Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The flagged pieces are from the Candlelight Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper. I stamped the greeting in Early Espresso from the More Merry Messages Stamp Set and backed it with a piece of Primrose Petals. The ornament is from the Keepsake Ornaments Stamp Set and is also stamped in Early Espresso and cut out with the Holiday Ornaments Framelits Collection. I mounted it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I really do like the simplicity of the card and hope that you enjoyed this week’s Paper Players Challenge card. Thank you so much for checking in and have a wonderful day!

  • Freshly Made Sketches #53

    A good Friday morning to you all! It’s a very good one for me because I am off from work! My cousins and I are headed into Manhattan today so they can do some more shopping. I’m undecided as to whether I want to take the train in or drive. Maybe we’ll go and have some more Korean food for lunch!

    Today’s post is for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches but first I want to thank all of you for visiting the Control Freaks September Blog Tour yesterday and also for you wonderful comments. I’m so glad that you liked the projects! Moving right along this week Tui has given us this sketch to work with…

    I knew what I wanted to use as soon as I saw this! The base of my card is Early Espresso Card Stock. I used some Candlelight Christmas Designer Series Paper strips and some Champagne Glimmer Paper strips for the background. On top of that is a piece of Very Vanilla that I punched out with the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch. I Then embossed it with the Northern Flurry Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and mounted it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The images and the greeting are from the No Peeking Stamp Set. The greeting is markered in Real Red, Lucky Limeade and Early Espresso and punched out with the Large Oval Punch. I used the same colors for the cute little snowman and cut him out with my Paper Snips. The little bird is stamped in Real Red and cut out too. They are all mounted to the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I really like the sketch and the stamp set is just too sweet! I hope that you enjoyed this weeks Freshly Made Sketches Challenge card. Thank you so much for visiting and have a fantastic day! 🙂

  • Control Freaks September 2012 Tour!

    Hello everyone and welcome to the September Control Freaks Tour featuring Fall projects! I’m so excited to be a part of this incredibly talented group. If you have arrived here from the tour you have just come from Jason Casper’s site. Didn’t he have some great projects?!?! This is my first tour with the Freaks, how awesome is that?!?! I’m a little excited, can you tell?!?!

    The first project I have to show you is a card. Not just any card but a 3D window card that folds flat so that you can still mail it. The base of the card is Always Artichoke Card Stock. I used a piece of Howlstooth & Scaringbone Designer Series Paper to frame the window and I also used a piece down the right side. The images in the back are from the Spooky Bingo Bits Stamp Set and are stamped in Basic Gray, Basic Black and Early Espresso. I also cut one of the tombstones out and adhered it with a Stampin’ Dimensional. The image on the piece of Window Sheet is form the Toxic Treats Stamp Set and is stamped in Jet Black Staz-On. The little moon in the upper right corner is made with Tangerine Tango and the 1″ Circle Punch. For the greeting I used the Seasonal Sayings Stamp Set stamped in Tangerine Tango and backed with a piece of Basic Black.

    The next project I have to show you is a Halloween Banner. The base of all of the banners is Basic Gray, that I flagged the ends on, with a piece of Crumb Cake that is embossed with the Chevron Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The image on the first banner is from the Toxic Treats Stamp Set and is stamped in Basic Black on Pumpkin Pie and cut out with the Labels Collection Framelits Dies. Some Basic Black is cut out using the Paper Doily Large Sizzlits Die. I cut out a piece of Basic Gray, flagged the ends and used the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack to pierce the edges. All of the pieces are adhered using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The next three banners all have a rosette made with Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP and my Simply Scored. The letters are form the Broadsheet Alphabet Stamp Set and are stamped in Basic Black and punched out with the 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle Punch. The flagged pieces of Pumpkin Pie are stamped with the Border Banter Stamp Set and are backed with pieces of Basic Black that are punched out with the 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle punch and paper-pierced around the edges too.

    The last project I have to show you is a wreath. I used the Autumn Accents Bigz Die to cut out all of the leaves from Crumb Cake, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze and More Mustard Card Stock. They are all embossed with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I used a hot glue gun and the Silicone Craft Sheet to attach them to the wreath. The greeting is from the Seasonal Sayings Stamp Set and is stamped in Soft Suede. I flagged the ends and paper-pierced the top and bottom. The acorns are from the Wonderfall Stamp Set and are stamped in Soft Suede and adhered to the back of the greeting with some Sticky Strip. The greeting is then adhered to the leaves with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

    I hope that you enjoyed your stop here on the Control Freaks September Tour. Thanks so much for visiting. Now click below to hop on over to Yvette Ashe who is your next stop on the tour and see what fun projects she has in store for you! Enjoy!!

  • Bashful Saffron Baby Banners

    Good morning everyone! How are we all doing today? I’m doing well, apart from the torrential rain that we got last night. The weather has been very odd this summer. The rain we get reminds me of Florida rain! This will be my first post for the day but there will be a surprise one later so be sure and come back tonight to see! This morning’s post is a card that I made for my mum to take to a baby shower. The base of the card is Bashful Blue Card Stock. I used the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of So Saffron for the background. The image and greeting are from the Baby Prints Stamp Set and are stamped in Bashful Blue on Whisper White. I used the 3/16″ Corner Rounder to round the corners on the Whisper White and the Bashful Blue that they are mounted to. They are both adhered to the card with Stampin’ DImensionals. The banners are made using the Bitty Banner Framelits Dies with Bashful Blue and are cut in half. They too are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. A piece of Whisper White Bakers Twine creates the string that they “hang” from. I was happy to have an excuse to use the stamp set and hope that you enjoyed today’s card. Thank you so very much for visiting and don’t forget to come back later tonight! Have a great day!
