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!

Mojo 247

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!

Teeny Bitty Fancy Fan Indigo Pool Box

Good morning people! It was a scorcher here in New York yesterday. It got up to 94 degrees and it’s supposed to go up to 98 degrees today but feel more like 105! Where is my nice weather from this past weekend?! This is way too hot for me. It’s supposed to get a little more bearable over the weekend. How is the weather by you? Leave a comment and let me know! For today’s post I decided that I would show you one of the boxes that I made over the weekend. I need to take little creative breaks while I was making the Wedding Invites so I did some 3D projects. The box is made using the Simply Scored. I used a piece of 12″ x 12″ Pool Party Card Stock for the top and bottom of the box and scored on all four sides at 2 1/4″ and 4 1/2″. On the top I used a piece of Island Indigo Card Stock and to that I added a piece of Naturals White Card Stock that I embossed using the Fancy Fan Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Under the paper bow is a piece of Island Indigo that I cut out with the Lots of Tags Sizzlits and a piece of Pool Party that I punched out with the Tags Duo Builder Punch, they are adhered to the box with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The paper bow is Naturals White cut to 1/2″ and stamped with the friend to friend stamp from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set in Island Indigo ink. A 1/2″ piece of Island Indigo holds it together. The for you is from the Itty Bitty Banners Stamp Set and is cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies. I punched a hole and used White Bakers Twine and a Vintage Faceted Button secured with a Mini Glue Dot to the top of the bow. I really do love the paper bows and the Vintage Faceted Buttons are a great way to add a little sparkle to your project. I hope that you are inspired to make your own box and paper bows. Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Summer Essentials Fancy Friend

Hello and good morning. It’s supposed to be very hot here today on Long Island, the temperature is supposed to go up to 95! I like the summer but for me 72 degrees is perfect, 95 degrees, a little too hot! In lieu of the temperature shift today’s card is nice and bright and clean. The base of the card is Rose Red Card Stock. I used the Fancy Fan Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Daffodil Delight Card Stock cut to 3 1/2″ x 5″, a little smaller than usual to let more of the base show through. The images are from the Summer Silhouettes Stamp Set and are stamped in Wild Wasabi and Rose Red ink. I mounted the flowers to a base of Rose Red, added 3 Rose Red brads form the Subtles Collection 3/16″ Brads and tied a piece of Daffodil Delight 1/4″ Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon around it. The image across the bottom of the card is stamped in Wild Wasabi. The friends is from the Sweet Essentials Stamp Set and is also stamped in Wild Wasabi and punched out with the Word Window Punch. All of the elements are mounted to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love the font in the Sweet Essentials Stamp Set and the stamps in the Summer Sihlouettes Stamp Set are great for so many different projects. I hope that you get a happy feeling from today’s card and that you are having nice sunny weather where you are. Thank you for dropping by and have an awesome day! 🙂

Paper Players – Happy 100th Challenge!

Good morning everyone! I hope that you all had a nice weekend. I had a very nice weekend. I spent a good part of it making the wedding invitations for my brother’s wedding. My daughter Taylor was here for most of the weekend with me and she helped a lot. I also went to lunch on Father’s Day with my parents, brother, his fiancé and my daughter. The weather was perfect here too, all in all it was a pretty awesome weekend! Today’s post is for the Paper Players who are celebrating their 100th challenge this week! Wow! 100 challenges, that’s pretty impressive!

This week you got to go through the archives and choose a previous challenge to base your card on. I chose challenge #88…

I started with a base of Pool Party Card Stock. Using my Big Shot I ran a piece of So Saffron Card Stock through it using the Fancy Fan Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The stamped images are from the You’re Amazing Stamp Set and the ballon is stamped in Not Quite Navy and cut out with my Paper Snips. I mounted it to a background of Pool Party that is embossed with the Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and backed with a piece of Not Quite Navy. They are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the winner tickets in Pool Party and punched them out with the Ticket Duo Builder Punch. The happy birthday is also from the You’re Amazing Stamp Set and is stamped in Not Quite Navy and I used the circle from the Itty Bitty Shaped Punch Pack to create the ticket corners. Behind that is a piece of Pool Party that I embossed using the Delicate Designs Textured Impressions Embossing Folders. Along the bottom edge is a piece of Not Quite Navy that I punched with the Scallop Edge Border Punch. For a little something extra to help the Paper Players celebrate I made a matching box. The box is made uses the Simply Scored Scoring Tool which makes 3D projects a breeze. The paper bow was inspired by the cover of the 2012-2013 Annual Catalog. I really like them and I actually made a few of them and I’ll post them later in the week. It’s 1/2″ strips of Pool Party Card Stock and I used the happy birthday from the From My Heart Stamp Set to stamp the strips. I then flagged the ends of the bottom two strips and curled the top two pieces and formed some circles. It’s all stacked and adhered with Sticky Strip. The other images are from the same set I used on the card, You’re Amazing. I hope that you like this weeks Paper Players 100th Challenge card and box. Congratulations again the fabulous ladies over there and here’s to 100 more challenges! Have a great day! 🙂

Happy Father’s Day!

Good morning everyone and Happy Father’s Day to all of you dad’s and to the mom’s that do double duty. I’m posting two cards today, one that I made for a friend of mine and the second one for my dad. The first card uses the very first set that I purchased from Stampin’ Up!, The Open Sea. It was in last year’s Summer Mini and it is still one of my favorite masculine sets. The base of the card is Whisper White Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Chocolate Chip with the Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. All of the image are from The Open Sea Stamp Set. The ship and the Anchor are stamped in Night of Navy and the log page is stamped in Chocolate Chip. The ship and anchor are cut out with my Paper Snips and mounted to the log which is backed by Night of Navy and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from the Delightful Dozen Stamp Set and is also stamped in Night of Navy. For a nice finishing touch I tied a piece of Linen Thread around the log before I mounted it to the card With Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The second card is actually a CASE that I saw in a video from Brenda Keenan on Stampin’ Connection (The Demonstrator Forum). I used Early Espresso Card Stock for the base. The shirt and tie are Nautical Expedition from the Clearance Rack that coincidentally was intended to go with The Open Sea Stamp Set. The collar is held down by double Stampin’ Dimensionals and two Silver Mini Brads. The dad is from the Family Reunion Stamp Sets and is stamped in Marina Mist. If you would like to see Brenda’s great video tutorial you can head over to her blog and check it out here.

Thank you so much for checking in with me today and once again Happy Father’s Day!! 🙂

Good morning! How is everyone this fine Saturday? The weather is supposed to be nice here today so I am going to have to go for a ride in the convertible later. I also have to start on my brother and his fiancé’s invitations. It’s going to be another crafty weekend! Today’s card is for this weeks Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This week we have a color Challenge…

I have been wanting to use the Fine Feathers Stamp Set and thought this would be a good color combination to take a first run with it. The base of the card is Crumb Cake Card Stock. I took a piece of Cherry Cobbler and embossed it with the Chevron Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. It’s backed with a piece of Island Indigo Card Stock and adhered to the card with SNAIL. I stamped the feathers from the Fine Feathers Stamp Set in Island Indigo and cut them out with my Paper Snips. They are adhered to the chevron piece with SNAIL. I stamped the bird from the Nature Walk Stamp Set in Crumb cake and cut him out With my Paper Snips and darkened his eye with the Crumb Cake Stampin Write Marker and adhered him to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from the Sweet Essentials Stamp Set and is stamped in Island Indigo and backed with a piece of Cherry Cobbler. The long feather is also adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love the detail in the Fine Feather Stamps and the chevrons mimic the v’s in the feathers. I hope that you are inspired by this weeks Create with Connie and Mary card and that you have a great Saturday. Thank you for checking in and I’ll see you tomorrow!

Freshly Made Sketches #39

Happy Friday everyone! Well, we made it through another week! Today’s is the big day… it’s time to announce the winner of the blog candy. I used Random.org to select the winner from the comments that were left on Monday’s post and the winner is…

LeAnne!!!!

Congratulations!! If you would be so kind as to send me your address I will get your Papaya Collage Wood Mount Stamp Set in the mail to you tomorrow morning! Thanks to everyone that left a comment and we’ll have some more blog candy soon!

Some other cool news is that a fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, Katt over at Katt’s Creative Corner CASE’d one of my cards the other day. She did a fantastic job and even put together a great tutorial. You can see her post here. If any of you make a similar card I would love to see them. If we get enough of them I’ll do a post one day of all of them!

Now on to today’s business. Today’s card is for Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #39. They have given us the following sketch to work with…

What a nice simple layout. I decided that it has been a while since I made an easel card so that’s what I did. The base of the card is Basic Gray Card Stock. I used the Wedding Words Stampin’ Around Jumbo Wheel, inked in So Saffron, for the partial background on Very Vanilla Card Stock. A piece of So Saffron is cut out with the Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies and I used the new Paper-Piercing Essentials Pack and the new Paper-Piercer to create the border on the cut out. To that I added a piece of Basic Gray cut out with the Labels Collection Framelits Dies and embossed with the Perfect Polkadots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The two Champagne glasses are from the Embellished Events Stamp Set and are stamped in So Saffron and Embellished with some Basic Jewels Rhinestones. The champagne glasses and Apothecary piece are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also added a rhinestone to the ring on the background because you can never have too much bling! The bottom of the card has a piece of So Saffron with a piece of embossed Basic Gray. I used the Eyelet Border Punch (Retired) on Very Vanilla and adhered it each side. The greeting is stamped in Basic Gray and punched out with the Decorative Label Punch and I used the Paper-Piercing Essentials Pack for the border around the greeting. I love the color combination, which was inspired by my friend Sandy, and the Embellished Events Stamp Set too! I hope that you enjoyed today’s card and congratulations again to LeAnne! Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

PPA 136

Hello there! How are you today? I’m good now that it has finally stopped raining and the sun is out. It rained all day yesterday, that fine rain that doesn’t justify an umbrella but too if you don’t have one you get soaked! I hope that you are experiencing nice weather where you are. So, today is the day that I will pick the winner of the blog candy and it will be announced tomorrow morning. Thank you for your comments! On to today’s card that is for this weeks Pals Paper Arts Challenge. This time is a color challenge…

What a very patriotic choice of colors. The base of my card is Whisper White Card Stock. For the background I used a piece of Real Red from the Brights Stack Designer Series Paper. I ran a pice of Night Of Navy Card Stock through my Big Shot using the Argyle Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to put on top of that. The image and “Best” are from the Blue Ribbon Stamp Set and are stamped in Night Of Navy and Real Red. The “Best” is punched out with the 1 3/8″ Circle Punch and the image is cut out with my Paper Snips. I used the Bitty Banner Framelits Dies to cut out the ribbon in Real Red and adhered it on the stamped ribbon. Both pieces are mounted on Stampin’ Dimensionals. The friend is from the Family Reunion Stamp Set and is stamped in Night Of Navy and backed with a piece of Night Of Navy Card Stock. This color combination works great with the stamp sets and I hope that you like the finished card. Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!
