Mojo Monday 472

It was absolutely gorgeous here yesterday morning! I even got to ride to the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store with the top down in the car! YAY! Around 5:00PM the heavens opened and it poured! Like flood the streets in minutes poured! I did enjoy the day though! Angie was at the store when I got there and Taylor arrived just before 10:00AM. We had a nice day, I had a very productive day, I made four cards! I love to get ahead! I also finished Inferno, what a great book, just like all of his others! I’m looking for other books similar to it so if any of you have any suggestions please share! After work I drove home in the torrential downpour and had dinner with my Parent’s. Then I came to my house and straightened up a bit before running to BJ’s, I was almost out of coffee! The rest of my evening was spent relaxing, I try to make Sunday evenings as calm and peaceful as I can. Today I want to get my Newsletter out and hopefully my Hero order will arrive! Fingers crossed! 😀

Why… I do believe that it’s Monday and you know what that means! Time for a new Mojo Monday sketch…

I love the little Kelly’s Sets by Hero and I used two different ones on today’s card! The base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and for my background I used a piece of Shale. The large partial circle on the left is cut from a piece of Bo Bunny Soiree 12×12 Paper with the Hero Arts Infinity Circles Dies and is adhered to the card with E-Z Runner. I die cut a piece of Silver Glitter Paper also with the Hero Arts Infinity Circles Dies and cut a piece of Fun Foam with a smaller one. A little E-Z Runner adheres the Fun Foam to the circle and then to the card. Next up is a flagged strip of Slate adhered to the lower half of the card across the circles. My greeting is from the Hero Arts Kelly’s Warm & Cozy Photopolymer Stamp Set and is heat embossed in Hero Arts Platinum Embossing Powder onto a piece of Black and also cut out with the Infinity Circles. More Fun Foam and E-Z Runner adhere it to the card. The little snowflake is from the Hero Arts Kelly’s S’mitten Stamp & Cut Set and is heat embossed in Hero Arts Silver Embossing Powder onto a piece of Battleship Gray and cut out with the Coordinating Die. Some 3D Foam Squares hold it in place. Of course there had to be sequins! Some Pretty Pink Posh Platinum, Silver and Marshmallow to be precise! A pretty simple card that gets amped up by the heat embossing and the glitter paper! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge! Take a minute to visit the BLOG and check out the other Design Team member’s cards and let’s see yours in the gallery! Thank you so much for beginning your week with me! Have a magnificent Monday! 🙂

Winter Forest Snow Globe

Oh how I love a day in Manhattan! I took the 8:11 train in, it was 8 minutes late as is usually the case with a morning train on the weekend. Once in the city I made my way up to 86th Street on the 1 train and headed to Starbucks to get a Venti Chili Mocha (my new favorite drink!). From there I went and saw my friends Jon and Mary for a while and then Joe and Penny. Around 2:00 I called Anna to see if she was at The Ink Pad, she was so I went down to spend some time with her. We had a nice chat discussing store stuff and made plans to get together for dinner soon! I made it back to Penn Station in time to get the 6:12 back out to the Island and had dinner with my Parent’s. Between the train and spending a few hours reading once I got home I’m almost finished with Inferno! I’m enjoying the book immensely and I’m sure that the movie will be great too! Today I’m alone at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store, Renee is going to see Jersey Boys with her Mum and Sister. Hopefully it will be a project filled day! 😀

I finally got to play with the My Monthly Hero Kit from this month and made a fun snow globe shaker! The card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. For the front of the shaker I used the snow globe die to cut out the negative from a piece of Solar White 80lb and two pieces of Fun Foam. I laid the panel on the card and traced a circle with my pencil so I would know where to stamp the trees and add the snow banks. Speaking of the trees, they are stamped in Green Fields and the snow banks are cut from more Solar White 80lb. An additional tree is stamped and die cut and then all of the pieces are added to the card front including the deer which I stamped in Cup O Joe and also die cut. A few snow flakes are stamped on the card front from the Wintertime Fun Photopolymer Stamp Set in the Silver Ink included in the Kit. I adhered a piece of Acetate to the back of the front panel and then adhered the two layers of Fun Foam to the card front adding a generous amount of the shaker beads and sequins included in the kit to my well. The bottom of the snow globe is heat embossed in Hero Arts White Embossing Powder along with the greeting from the Kit Stamp Set and it’s adhered to the card to finish off my scene! A fun card where the shaker is the star of the show! I hope that you like my card for today! You visits are always appreciated and I wish you all a simple Sunday! 🙂

Freshly Made Sketches 260

Its Saturday… right?! Just kidding! I know that it’s Saturday today because I’m heading into Manhattan for the day! I’m going to see a few friends and wander for a bit! I had an unfocused day at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store yesterday. I made the mistake of starting to read a book on my iPad. I haven’t read a book in years and forgot how nice it is to get lost in the pages! The book I’m reading is Inferno by Dan Brown. He’s one of my favorite authors! I couldn’t put it down! I also wanted to read it before I see the movie! My friend Marianne also came in for class early so we chatted for a while! It’s not a bad way to spend the day, I’ll get back in the swing on Sunday! 😀

Today I have a simple card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge…

I really like the Tag Sets by Lia from Hero and think that they are a great way to make a nice quick card! My card base for today is Ivory 110lb Card Stock with front covered in a piece of Dark Molasses. The background is a piece of Kaiser Craft Mademoiselle Collection 12×12 Paper and I adhered it to the card with Fun Foam and E-Z Runner. My tag is from the Hero Arts Joyful Tidings Tag Set by Lia, I die cut it from a piece of Forest Green and heat embossed the greeting from the set in Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder. A piece of May Arts Natural Twine is tied through the top and it’s adhered over a piece of Kraft with the left side flagged using more Fun Foam and E-Z Runner. I had to add just a few Pretty Pink Posh Gold Sequins to give the card a little sparkle and movement! So what do you think? The tag makes a pretty nice simple card, right?! I hope that you like my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge! Thank you for visiting today! Have a simple and fun Saturday! 🙂

Fab Friday 99

It rained all day here yesterday and was on the chilly side until last night when it warmed up a bit. I had another productive day at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store! A few people came in to make the card with the Concord & 9th Christmas Cottage Stamps and Dies! Love that 3D Pop-Up, especially since it fits inside a standard A2 envelope! I also got a kit put together with four card samples using the Lawn Fawn Snow Cool Stamp Set and Lawn Cuts and made my card for today! Taylor came by again, love when she comes to visit me! After work I had some dinner with the Parent’s and then went over to see Heather for a bit. We made a quick trip to Walmart and then watched a little TV. Today I’m going to put the kits together and start working on some more! They would make great gifts for the beginning stamper! They have everything except adhesives to make a bunch of cards! I also have some fun news to share with you! There is an article with me in it in the Holiday Issue of Rubber Stamp Madness Magazine!! How cool is that?! You can go to their web site and take a peek! I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty excited! 😀

Not only is it Friday but it’s time for new Fab Friday challenge…

I wanted to use a new set that I just recently acquired from Hero Arts! My card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I added a piece of Black 110lb to serve as a mat for my background. I used a Mini Ink Blending Tool and some Hero Arts Cornflower Ink to create it. It’s adhered to the card with Fun Foam and E-Z Runner. The strip across the lower half has a greeting from the Hero Arts Christmas Messages Photopolymer Stamp Set stamped in Onyx Black. My images are from the Hero Arts Wintertime Fun Photopolymer Stamp Set. I stamped them in Memento Tuxedo Black and used my Copics to color them in. They are cut out with the Coordinating Dies. I added some White Puff Embossing Powder to the tree with a Versa-Marker and heat embossed it. The images are then adhered to the card with E-Z Runner and 3D Foam Squares. Just a few Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Sequins on the tree complete the card! I love the little animals in the set, adorable but not too cutesy! I hope that you like my Design Team card for the Fab Friday Sketch Challenge! Pay a visit to the BLOG and see the rest of the Team’s cards and let’s see yours in the gallery! Thank you for spending some of your Friday with me! Have a fantabulous day! 🙂

Paper Players 318

Remember when I said yesterday that I was going to be one tired boy today… I was right! LOL! I didn’t get much accomplished at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store. Renee and I had our friend Evelyn stop by to work on a project and Taylor came by to see me again. After work I came home and waited for my Parent’s to get back from the closing on my Grandmother’s house in Pennsylvania. We had dinner and then I came home and watched TV. I was too tired to do anything else! Today I feel much better and will continue to work on getting some more projects finished. 😀

Thankfully I worked ahead and have a card to share with you today that is for this week’s Paper Player Sketch Challenge…

My card base is Ivory 110lb Card stock. I took a piece of Shale and inked the edges with some Hero Arts Navy Ink and a mini Ink Blending Tool. Down the right is a piece of Authentique Strong Collection 12×12 Paper. My little buildings are from the Hero Arts Kelly’s It’s Christmas Time Photopolymer Stamp Set. I heat embossed it with Hero Arts Platinum Embossing Powder onto a piece of Navy that I cut out with the Lawn Fawn Dotted Circles Stackables Lawn Cuts. It’s adhered to the card with Fun Foam and E-Z Runner. I stamped my greeting from the Hero Arts Kelly’s Warm & Cozy Photopolymer Stamp Set in Navy, flagged the ends and inked the edges. It too is adhered to the circle with more Fun Foam and E-Z Runner. To complete the card it just needed some sparkle so I added a few Little Things by Lucy Nautical Mix Sequins and Rhinestones! And to think that this card all started because I wanted to use the Crossword Paper! I also happen to love that little set of buildings! I hope that you like my card for this week’s Paper Players Sketch Challenge! I appreciate you coming by today! Have an amazing Thursday! 🙂

Silver Snow Holidays

It was chilly and rainy here for most of the day yesterday. I was glad to be at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store, Renee had her no-frills crop! I had a little mini Card Class with Elyse, Nancy and Barbara and that was a lot of fun! A few orders had to be entered into the system since the register was down for most of the day yesterday. After work I had some Chinese food for dinner with my Parents. When I got home I made the mistake of turning on the TV and got sucked into Gods of Egypt. It was actually a pretty good movie! Today I want to get my newsletter done and then I need to clean up the house a bit when I get home! Fun Sunday stuff!

I had started working on a collage card at some point last night and then decided that I didn’t like it! So I made this one instead! My card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb and I covered the front in a piece of Lawn Fawn Bluejay that I cut out with the largest Stitched Rectangles Stackables Lawn Cuts. The Snowflakes are cut from Galvanized Curious Metallic using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Snowflakes Lawn Cuts. I adhered them from upper left to lower Right with Multi-Matte Medium. A circle is cut out from some 48lb Vellum with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Circles Stackables. I heat embossed the greeting from the Lawn Fawn Love You a Latte Photopolymer Stamp Set in Hero Arts Silver Embossing Powder. The coffee cup is from the same set and I used Copics to color it in and the Coordinating Dies to cut it out. It’s adhered to the card with Foam Tape. A large snowflake is adhered to the back of the Vellum and then the circle is adhered to the card with more Foam Tape. For a healthy dose of Sparkle I added Little Thing by Lucy Nautical Sparkle Sequin Mix and a few Rhinestones. You know how I love a non-traditional Holiday card and this one definitely fits the bill! I hope that you like today’s card! I thank you for stopping by and I wish you all a very nice Sunday! 🙂

Beautiful Peach Birthday

I got my haircut yesterday morning before heading over to the store. I always feel better after a haircut. Maybe it’s because Jessica makes my hair look good and I can never get it to look like she does! When I got to the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store I started to enter some of the new things that I had gotten in and Shopify stopped working! It was a result of the DD0S attacks that were happening. So much fun! It was out for most of the day. Hopefully it will be back up today. Last night’s Card Class was great! I got to see my friends Marissa and Danielle! Daniel and I were at the store late catching up. I hate that I only get to see her once a month. We are going to make a better effort to see each other more often. Today I have three more peeps for Card Class and then some projects to get finished! Should be another fun day!

I had some left over pieces from a card that I made the other day and decided that I would use them to make another card and that’s what I have for you today! My card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. For the background I used a piece of Bo Bunny Soiree 12×12 Paper. I stamped my greeting from the Altenew Painted Greetings Photopolymer Stamp Set in Moon Rock Crisp Ink and adhered it to the card with Fun Foam and E-Z Runner. My flower and leaves are from the Altenew Beautiful Day Photopolymer Stamp Set. I stamped the flower in Peach Perfect Crisp Ink for the first three layers and then heat embossed the outside layer and leaves in Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder. They are adhered to the card with Dot Runner Adhesive and 3D Foam Squares. Across the bottom is a piece of American Crafts Gold Glitter Tape and around the flower is a sprinkling of Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear and Gold Sequins. The Beautiful Day Set is definitely my all time favorite floral set! I use it enough… right?! I hope that you like my card for today! Thank you for coming by! Have a fun Saturday! 🙂

Freshly Made Sketches 259

They first day of the October Card Class at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store was a good time as it always is! We had a lot of laughs at the night class with Andrew, Kayleigh, Melissa, Victoria and Jan! This month’s class is Lawn Fawn so it was a long one. I love when they can just sit there and color and take their time! We got out around 10:00 and I headed over to George’s house for Thirsty Thursday with Heather and Stephanie. Geroge is in Nashville so we had a little change of venue! I do love our little trio! This morning I have a haircut and then the second day of class! More fun times! It’s also my crafty friend Sandy’s Birthday! Happy Birthday Sandy!! 😀

I did manage to make two cards yesterday and one of them is for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge…

Today’s card starts off with a base of Ivory 110lb Card Stock. I stamped the birch trees using the Concord & 9th Tree Hugs Photopolymer Stamp Set in Vintage Sepia. Across the top are two strips of Gold Mirror Card. My heart is from the Concord & 9th Cozy Up Photopolymer Stamp Set. I heat embossed it in Hero Arts Clear Embossing Powder onto a piece of Dark Molasses and then rubbed some Unicorn White Pigment Ink over it. To cut it out I used the Coordinating Dies and adhered it to the card with Fun Foam and E-Z Runner. My greeting is cut from more Gold Mirror Card and three piece of Ivory 110lb using the Concord & 9th JOY Die. I adhered them to each other and to the card with Multi-Matte Medium. A little sprinkling of Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear and Gold Sequins completes the card! I’m really into the woodgrain again lately and Concord & 9th has some of the best stamps out there for my little addiction! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge! Thank you so much for visiting with me today! Have a fantastic Friday! 🙂

Paper Players 317

Oh boy did I have a nice day yesterday! Apart from getting up at 5:30! I haven’t been up that early in a really long time! I made sure that I took the 7:01AM train from Bethpage, it’s starts the station before so you are guaranteed a seat! I saw my friend Pat on the platform which was a nice surprise! By the time I got up to 77th Street I still had about 40 minutes before I had to meet Ella so I placed a mobile order at the Starbucks on 78th and sat down and enjoyed the city for a bit. I was an absolutely glorious day, high of 84 and lovely and sunny! Ella and I got all of the things accomplished on her list and a few extras. After I left Ella I met my friend Patrice on 77th. She had wanted a stamp set from the store and to borrow one of mine. It was so nice to see her, she is such a wonderful person, funny and always smiling! I just made it back to Penn Station in time for my train out to Lindenhurst. Sue picked me up at the station at 1:16 and we stopped at Taco Bell so I could get some quick food. When we got to the store Jean was waiting so I could make her a custom stamp. Once that was finished Sue and I set out to get the cutting done for class. Before heading back over to my house we stopped at Bed, Bath & Beyond so I could get a new Keurig! LOL! I needs my coffee!! Sue’s husband Joe met us for dinner and then Sue and I came back to my house for a bit. I’m not gonna lie, I was really tired last night and even went to bed early! Today is the first day of the Lawn Fawn Card Class at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store! Fun, fun, fun!

Thankfully I had planned ahead and made today’s card for this week’s Paper Players challenge on Tuesday! Before we get to this week I want to say a big thank you to Joanne for choosing me as a her Cut Above in last week’s challenge! You can see the winner’s post HERE and my original post HERE! Now on to this week, a Clean and Simple Leaf from Nance….

My card is pretty clean, maybe not that simple! The card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. For the background I heat embossed the Concord & 9th Barnwood Background Photopolymer Stamp onto some Slate with Hero Arts White Embossing Powder. It’s cut to 4″ x 5 1/2″ so that little bit of white peeks out from either side. The leaves are die cut from Solar White 110lb using the Concord & 9th Layering Leaves Dies. I heat embossed each one three times with Hero Arts Gold, Platinum, Brass, Silver and Copper Embossing Powder. They are adhered to the card with Dot Runner Adhesive. A strip of Battleship Gray has the thanks from the Concord & 9th Give Thanks Photopolymer Stamp Set heat embossed in more Hero Arts White and it’s adhered over the top of the leaves to the card with Fun Foam and Tombo Extreme Adhesive. A little scattering of some Little Things by Lucy Sequins completes the card! I have said it before and I’ll say it again, that Barnwood Background Stamp is my favorite woodgrain stamp and I clearly love the Layering Leaves Dies and the Give Thanks Stamps, I think I have used them more than any other set I own! I hope that you enjoy my card for this week’s Paper Players challenge from Nance! Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a simply wonderful Thursday! 🙂

Paper Craft Crew 215

As planned I did have a very productive day at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store yesterday! Despite the fact that I had to keep going outside to experience the gorgeous “Summer like” weather! It was in the 80’s! Yes please! I managed to get two cards made and get a host of administrative things accomplished! Taylor stopped by with her friend Marissa again and they kept me company for a while. After work I had a little stew that my Mum had made for me and finished my laundry. Then it was home to find out the my Keurig died! Ugh! I love my Ninja Coffee Bar but when I want a quick cup I still like the Keurig. I made myself an Americano in the Nespresso instead and that was delicious! Think I have enough coffee makers?! This morning I’m running into Manhattan to help my friend Ella with a few things and then Sue is going to pick me up by the train station near the store and help me cut for class! Busy day!

After a week hiatus the Paper Craft Crew challenge is back this week with a theme…

The card base for today’s card is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. My background is a piece of Kaisercraft Mademoiselle Collection 12×12 Paper. Down the left side is a strip of American Crafts Gold Glitter Tape. My coffee cup is from the Hero Arts Coffee Cup Stamp & Die Combo and is stamped in Hero Arts Vintage Metallic Rust Ombre Ink. The whipped cream is heat embossed in Hero Arts White Puff Embossing Powder and the sleeve stamped in Cup O Joe with the greeting heat embossed in Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder. My leaves are from the Hero Arts Grateful Leaves Stamp & Die Combo (it really is one of my faves!), the leaves are stamped in the Ombre Ink with the veins heat embossed in Gold. I used the Coordinating Dies to cut out all of the images. A piece of May Arts Natural Twine is tied in a bow toward the top of the cup and I used a combination of Fun Foam, E-Z Runner and Thin 3D Foam Squares to adhere it to a tag that I cut out from a piece of Kraft using the Hero Arts Infinity Tags Dies. The reinforcement is cut from some Chinese Red and another piece of May Arts Natural Twine is tied through the hole. More Fun Foam and E-Z Runner adhere the tag to the card. I added a little Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen to the whipped cream and a few Pretty Pink Posh Gold and Sparkling Clear Sequins complete the card! I really do enjoy that Grateful Leaves Set don’t I?! Almost as much as I love the Ombre Inks! I hope that you like my Design Team card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew Theme Challenge! Stop by the BLOG to check out the rest of the Team’s cards and enter yours in the gallery! Thank you very much for coming by today! Have an awesome Wednesday! 🙂
