Pals Paper Arts 263 & Card Class Cards!

Another beautiful day here on Long Island and a happy Saturday to you! Yesterday after work I headed over to Scrap-A-Latte for the second night of card class with Michael. We had some Red Robin burgers for dinner with Nicholas, yum! LOL! The class was lots of fun as always, the Friday night crowd is a little rowdier than Thursday. Here is a picture of Melissa, Andrew and I…

RC SAL Card Class Peeps

After class I came home and worked on my card for today and then watched a little TV. Today I’m off to Scrap-A-Latte to hang with Michael while he gives his baby book class and then we are off to Manhattan tonight to stay at Kim’s again. Tomorrow we will be working at The Ink Pad so come on by if you are in the area! Speaking of The Ink Pad, if you take a little detour and go over to see Jenny of at Craft Test Dummies she has a post and a video about her little visit to The Ink Pad and you can see what she picked up!

If you scroll down to the bottom you can see my two cards that I made for card class using Reverse Confetti. I’m loving that little bird on the birthday card!

No on to my card for this week’s Pals Paper Arts color challenge…

PPA 263

I went with a nice simple card using one of my favorite sets from the 2015-2016 Stampin’ Up! Catalog. My card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I heat embossed the greeting from the A Dozen Thoughts Stamp Set on a piece of Rich Razzleberry in White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and adhered the strip across the lower half of the card with SNAIL. My butterfly is from the Floral Wings Host Stamp Set and is stamped in Tempting Turquoise, Rich Razzleberry and Pear Pizzaz on Solar White 80lb. I used the Bold Butterfly Framelits to cut it out and adhered it to the card with a strip of Foam Tape. A little scattering of Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Sequins finishes off the card. I do love that butterfly and since it’s Photopolymer it’s nice and easy to stamp the three different colors. I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Pals Paper Arts color challenge! Thank you for taking a little time out of your day to stop by and visit with me! Enjoy your Saturday my friends! 🙂

Freshly Made Sketches 199

Hi there and happy Friday to you! Yes, it was another nice day yesterday and work wasn’t too bad either! After work I stopped home for a bit and started my card for today before heading over to Scrap-A-Latte for the first night of my joint card class with Michael. He brought his dad so we went and had dinner, some pizza, before class. It was nice to get to meet his dad Joel, I now know where Michael gets his sense of humor from! Class was fun as usual and everyone enjoyed the projects! I’ll have mine posted tomorrow! Tonight we have the second night and then Michael has another baby book class there tomorrow. Sunday we will be at The Ink Pad and staying at Kim’s Saturday night! I really don’t want the Summer to end!

The card that I have for you today is for Freshly Made Sketches 199th challenge…

Freshly Made Sketches 199

I can’t believe that they will be at challenge 200 next week! That’s pretty cool! My card base for today is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I stamped the bird from the Tim Holtz Bird Feather Stamp Set in Simon Says Stamp Fog Ink on the card. My pocket is made using the We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool and a Simon Says Stamp Stamp Pocket. I sealed a piece of Smoky Slate in the bottom and then cut out three feathers from Crumb Cake with the Simon Says Stamp Feathers Dies. They are spattered with some Heidi Swapp Citron, Teal and White Color Shine Spray. I added them and a few Hazel & Ruby The Makery Green with Envy and Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Sequins to the pouch and sealed the top. A piece of Red Line Tape (Sticky Strip) behind the strip of Smoky Slate adheres it to the card. The greeting is a piece of Solar White cut out with the Simon Says Stamp You Craft Die and some Pear Pizzaz with the rest of the greeting from the Simon Says Stamp You Photopolymer Stamp Set heat embossed in Hero Arts White Embossing Powder. The left side is flagged and then I mounted it to the card with Foam Tape. I do love using the Fuse to make a shaker card, the goodies that you put inside move around really nicely and you can do some creative pockets too! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge! Thank you, as always, for coming by to see what I’m up to! Have yourself an awesome Friday! 🙂

SIP Challenge 9 – A Sketch!

Monday, glad that you are done! It wasn’t too bad of a day at work so no complaints. I came home, ate dinner and then retreated to the Stampin’ Galley to work on some projects! I needed to get a few cards made and I still have a few more to go before I get all caught up! I really do love to end the day with a little creativity! Now if I could just find a way to get to be creative all day! Any suggestions?! LOL! I have some more pictures to share with you today from my adventures with Michael over the weekend!

Mini FlatIron

We just thought that this building was really cool! Love the pops of red!

Chinatown Street Art 1

And this is what I mean by seeing the city in a while new way! I never noticed that on the building before!

Chinatown Street Art 2

Michael has a great eye for street art! How cool is that?!

I’ll have some more pictures for you tomorrow! Now lets get to today’s post which is for this week’s Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge! This time we have a sketch for you…

SIP Sketch Challenge 9

I had fun putting together my card and I think that you could use it for a couple of different occasions! The base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I cut out a circle from a piece of Smoky Slate with the Sizzix Circles Framelits and then embossed it with the We R Memory Keepers Woodgrain Embossing Folder. It’s adhered to a piece of Basic Black with Fun Foam and SNAIL. The images are from the Simon Says Stamp Flowers on My Mind Photopolymer Stamp Set. I used Simon Says Stamp Duckling Ink for the flowers and Catkin for the leaves. They are die cut using the matching 2 Flowers and 2 Leaves Craft Dies and adhered in the negative circle with Glue Dots and Foam Tape. My greeting is a piece of Basic Black that I cut out with the Simon Says Stamp Congratulations Wafer Thin Die and it’s adhered to the card with Ranger Multi-Matte Medium. A little Stardust Stickles is added to the centers of the flower and completes the card! I think that this would make a fun Wedding card but also be great just for any time you need a congratulations card! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Stamp, Ink, Paper Sketch Challenge! Head on over to the BLOG and check out the rest of the Design Team’s card! We hope that you will enter one in the gallery so we can see your take on the sketch! Thank you for stopping by and have a terrific Tuesday! 🙂

Mojo Monday 410 & Manhattan!

Well, I had another absolutely amazing weekend! Yesterday Michael and I hit up a few street fairs and wandered around the city again. We took the subway down to Chambers Street and saw the new Dey Street passage and Fulton Street Center. Here are a few pictures…

WFC Subway Station

The Dey Street Passage from Chambers Street Subway Station.

WFC Subway Station Ceiling

The ceiling in the new Fulton Street Center.

WFC Subway Station Mezzanine

The lobby in the new Fulton Street Center. All of this was heavily damaged from 9-11 so the rebuilt it. I think that they did a great job!

After that we walked up to Chinatown and Little Italy. It’s so nice going around Manhattan with Michael, he notices things that I never have before. We took a whole bunch of pictures that I will share over the next few days. It was like seeing the city for the first time all over again! I really did have the most amazing weekend! Thanks to Kim again for letting us stay in her place!

The best part of a Monday is definitely that it’s time for another Mojo Monday sketch challenge…

Mojo410

I pondered this one for a little bit before I finally settled on a fun birthday card! The base of the card is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and the front is covered in a piece of Basic Black. I used the We R Memory Keepers Next Level 3D Gemstone Embossing Folder on a piece of Neenah Solar White 80lb and adhered it to a piece of Fun Foam with SNAIL and Multi-Purpose Glue and then to the card with SNAIL. Across the lower half is a piece of Bermuda Bay with the right side flagged. All of my balloons are cut out with the Simon Says Stamp Balloons Craft Dies. The shaker is Basic Black with the middle and Window Sheet cut out with Sizzix Circles Framelits. Some Fun Foam is also cut out with them and the seed beads and sequins are placed inside with another piece of Window Sheet adhered to the back. Another balloon is cut out from Silver Glimmer Paper and the smallest one from a piece of Real Red. The are adhered with Glue Dots, SNAIL and Foam Tape. My greeting is from the Simon Says Stamp Birthday Messages Photopolymer Stamp Set and is heat embossed in Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder on a piece of Real Red. I flagged the right side and adhered it to the card with more Foam Tape. You know how I love a shaker card and that Embossing Folder is again, so cool! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge! Go and check out the blog for some more inspiration, we’d love to see your card in the gallery! Thank you once again for sharing in my days and I wish you a marvelous Monday! 🙂

Distressed Butterfly Wishes

Is it Thursday already?! We had more sunny weather yesterday, just how I like it! After work I headed over to Scrap-A-Latte to meet up with Michael so that we could choose the papers for next week’s card class. We had Panera for dinner with Nicholas and then came back to my house. Michael worked on his projects in Stampin’ Galley! He made a really neat card and a cute gift bag that can be used to hold a gift card. He’ll be doing a blog post soon to show his projects! For now here is a picture of him hard at work!

MT SG RC

It’s a little bit of a mess in there isn’t it?! I’ll work on my projects over the weekend. I’m looking forward to the joint class!

My card that I have today is one that I made because I wanted to try out a new die that Michael had gotten me, The card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with the front covered in a piece of Basic Black. The panel is a piece of Crumb Cake, I used one the the dies from the new Memory Box Open Studio Distressed Wyndham Collage Die Set to cut out the lower left side. All of the stamped images are from the Butterfly Basics Photopolymer Stamp Set. The flower and greeting are stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and the dashed line is heat embossed in Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I also heat embossed the butterfly in Gold on Vellum and cut it out with the Butterfly Thinlits. It’s adhered to the card with a teeny piece of Foam Tape. The panel is then adhered to the card with SNAIL and Fun Foam. I love that Memory Box die, it’s so cool! A nice simple birthday card with a slightly rustic feel to it! I hope that you enjoyed my just for fun card for today! I thank you very much for coming by and I wish you all an excellent Thursday! 🙂

Paper Players 256

And Wednesday! Halfway there! Yesterday was another nice day here, lots of sun and really warm. I dropped Danielle off at her car across the street from the office after work, we had meetings so the parking lot was full. On my way home I ended up behind Michael who was on his way over to my house. He was out East with Renee visiting a store owner to pick up some things for Scrap-A-Latte and his store. He had all kinds of goodies and brought me some stuff too! We had some Chinese for dinner and watched some old music videos. We also discussed the cards for next week’s class. What a nice way to end the day!

The card that I have for you today is for this week’s Paper Players challenge…

Paper Players #256

A nice easy one! I did end up making this card twice, I didn’t care for the original background that I had done and Michael agreed! The base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. All of the images and greeting are from the Simon Says Stamp One with Nature Photopolymer Stamp Set. The background is stamped in Simon Says Stamp Duckling Ink on Neenah Solar White 80lb and the greeting in Memento Tuxedo Black. I adhered the panel to the card with Fun Foam and SNAIL. The trees are stamped in Simon Says Stamp Catkin and Cloudy Sky also on Solar White 80lb and then again heat embossed in Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder on Vellum. I used the coordinating Simon Says Stamp Nature Dies to cut them out. The vellum trees have some Ranger Multi-Matte Medium and Ranger Clear Rock Candy Distress Glitter sprinkled on them for some sparkle. The trees are then adhered to the stamped ones and then they are adhered to the card with Foam Tape. I love the graphic look of the stamp set and the colors are nice and subtle too! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Paper Players challenge! Thank you for taking a little time to stop by and visit with me! Have a wonderful Wednesday! 🙂

Mojo Monday 409

Seeing as I got such a late start yesterday there isn’t much to report on today. I had a nice relaxing day yesterday. I made a few cards and watched Now You See Me for like the fourth time. Sometimes even I need a “veg” day! I managed to get the laundry done and straighten up a bit too so it wasn’t a total day of nothing but it did contain enough nothing to make me happy!

While Monday’s aren’t my favorite day of the week it does mean that it’s time for another Mojo Monday sketch and I do love those…

Mojo409

I got to use one of my favorite stamp sets along with some paper that I got whole I was in Lancaster that I think goes great with it! The card base for today is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. The background is two pieces of paper from the Heidi Swapp 6×6 #HS01060 (no name?!) Paper Pad. I stamped the notebook sheet using the Clearly Besotted Just a Note Photopolymer Stamp in Mint Macaroon. The greeting and flower along with the leaves are from the Clearly Besotted Sketched Blooms Photopolymer Stamp Set. The greeting is stamped in Blushing Bride, the leaves in Mint Macaroon and the flower is heat embossed in White Hero Arts Embossing Powder on Vellum. The leaves and the flower are cut out with the coordinating dies. I flagged a strip of Blushing Bride and adhered that to the notebook layer. The leaves are adhered with SNAIL and the flower with 2-Way Glue. The panel is then adhered to the card with Fun Foam and SNAIL. A few My Minds Eye Lost & Found Christmas Enamel Dots complete the card. I love the colors in the paper and I think they go so well with Mint Macaroon and Blushing Bride! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge! Head on over to the blog to check out the rest of the Design Team’s cards and enter your creation in the gallery! Thank you for checking in with me today! Have a magnificent Monday! 🙂

Retro Strong Man Birthday

Yes, I had a lazy Sunday morning again! We got back to Long Island around 6:30 last night. I came home for a bit and unpacked and then Michael came over so that we could stop by Brian & Kim’s for Kevin’s Birthday party. My friend Lorren was there and she had asked where Michael lived and he said Brasil. I said that he had grown up in Hicksville and so had Lorren. It turns out that they lived on the same block only a few houses away from one another! Michael knows Lorren’s family and they spent some time catching up on the rest of the neighbors! It really is a small world! We came back to my house and watched some TV before calling it a night. This morning was spent chatting about the scrapbook show and surfing the internet. It’s fast becoming my favorite way to spend a Sunday morning! I have a few pictures that I took from the top of the parking garage in Lancaster. Just really cool buildings and one of me and Michael.

Me & Michael Lancaster 3015

It was little windy, gotta love that hair! LOL!

I needed to play with some of the goodies that I picked up from the Scrapbook show so I used some on today’s card. The base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and the front is covered in a piece of Basic Black. I used my new Crop-a-dile Corner Chomper to round the corners on the card, background and bottom of the tag. The background is a piece of paper from Fancy Pants called Everyday Circus and it’s adhered to the card with SNAIL. My tag is a piece of Very Vanilla, I used the Ornate Tag Topper Punch for the top and stamped the strong man from the Guy Greetings Photopolymer Stamp Set in Memento Tuxedo Black. His pants and shoes are colored in with Copics. The greeting is also from the same set and is heat embossed in Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder on Real Red and cut out with a die from Dies By Dave. I tied some Hemptique Black Hemp Twine though the top. The cool ViewMaster is a die from Echo Park and is cut out from some more Basic Black and tucked under the tag that’s adhered with Fun Foam and SNAIL. I love the retro feel to the paper, I think that it goes just perfectly with the strong man! I hope that you enjoyed today’s card and thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday! 🙂

Scrabble Travel Birthday

I can’t believe that it’s Saturday already! We had a fun day at the CKC Show yesterday! Loads of fun things to look at and I even got to meet my friend Ginger! She is pretty awesome! My sister-in-law Erika text me yesterday to say that her, Daniel and my brother were in the area so we went to the Iron Works Brewery and had dinner with them! That was a very nice and unexpected surprise! Daniel was adorable as always and everyone got big hugs from him! Here is a picture of Michael, Ginger and I standing in the Vendor Faire Area at the CKC Show…

And here is little Daniel at dinner last night…

My card that I have for today is a fun masculine birthday one! The base for today is a piece of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with the front covered in a piece of Basic Black. My background is a piece of Hello Honey and across the bottom is a piece of Washi Tape with a travel theme. A piece of Sahara Sand is stamped with the “Vintage” Woodgrain Background Stamp in Sahara Sand. I used the Simon Says Stamp Game Tiles Photopolymer Stamp Set and the coordinating Dies to spell out my Happy Birthday, stamped on the Woodgrain piece. The letters are adhered to the card with SNAIL and Foam Tape. I think that card would work well for anyone but especially would be great for a Scrabble fan! I hope that you enjoyed today’s card! Thanks, as always, for taking a little time to come by and see me! Enjoy the rest of your Saturday! 🙂

Misty Ocean Sand Dollar

Happy Friday peeps! We had a nice ride down to Lancaster yesterday for the CKC Show. We stopped at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, A.C. Moore and Joann’s! It was a crafty little journey and today will be lots more of the same at the show! I haven’t been to this show before so I’m looking forward to it! Michael, Sue and I have had breakfast in the hotel and are about to head out. I’ll have a full report for you tomorrow!

I wanted to share a simple card with you today using one of my favorite things… vellum! The base of today’s card is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I stamped the images from the Simon Says Stamp Sail Away Photopolymer Stamp Set in Simon Says Stamp Fog Ink randomly on a piece of Neenah Solar White 80lb. The greeting is from the same set and is heat embossed in Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder on a piece of Vellum. I folded the top and bottom over the stamped piece and the used Fun Foam and SNAIL to adhere it to the base. Like I said, nice and simple but I always love the look of the Vellum over a stamped background and I love that greeting! I hope that you enjoyed today’s card and that you all have a fantastic Friday! Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
