Paper Craft Crew Sketch 25

Wednesday already?! Where is the week going? I have been a very busy boy all week, although it does mean that we are closer to Friday! LOL! I know, I’m a little obsessed with Friday! How is everyone today? I’m not too bad. It sleeted here a little last night but has turned to rain and is supposed to stop soon. I guess it’s winter again!

Today’s post is for this week’s Paper Craft Crew Challenge. This week have a sketch and color combo. I did the sketch but not the color combo…

Colors: Melon Mambo, Old Olive and Basic Gray

I wanted to use some Summer Starfruit and one of my favorite Designer Series papers, Comfort Café has it in it so I choose the rest of the colors from there. The base of the card is Soft Suede Card Stock. The background is a piece of Comfort Café Designer Series Paper. I backed it with some Very Vanilla to make it a little more ridgid so that it was easier to adhere the piece of Midnight Muse 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon around the back with some Sticky Strip. A strip of Midnight Muse embossed with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder goes down the left side. I punched out some Cajun Craze with the Curly Label Punch and stamped them in Midnight Muse with an image from the Creative Elements Stamp Set. The hellos are form the Petite Pretties Stamp Set** and are stamped in Summer Starfruit. I used the Petite Curly Label Punch to punch them out and adhered them to the larger labels with SNAIL. They are then adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I like the way the the image from Creative Elements is similar to the pattern in the DSP and I love the colors! I hope that you enjoyed my Paper Craft Crew Design Team card for this week’s challenge. Click on over and see what the other deigners have in store for you and upload your card! Thanks, as always, for your visit and I hope that you have a very nice Wednesday!

Mojo 276 & Sneak Peek

Hello everyone! I had a very busy day yesterday, it was definitely a Monday. Work was crazy and it didn’t stop when I got home. I hope that you all had a better day. So, I have some more announcements for you today. Stampin’ Up! has just been rolling them out these past few days! Not that it’s a bad thing, after all they are celebrating their 25th Anniversary. First up we have a special promotion that will run all year long, it’s called the Best of 25 Years Stamps. Each month they will release a new stamp set for $14.95 that will include 3 – 5 stamps. There will be some old favorites along with a new stamp in each set and they will be available in Clear Mount only. The first set is called The Best of Birthdays…

As a special incentive to collect the Best of Stamps, starting in February they will be including a collector’s card and 25-year proof of purchase sticker with every Best of set. Collect six stickers, and send it in to redeem a FREE set of your choice valued up to $14.95! Free sets must be redeemed no later than April 30, 2014. How cool is that?! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to collect a piece of Stampin’ Up! history.

The second announcement that I have to share with you today is the addition of ten more never before seen Single Stamps! These stamps are only available until March 31, 2013. These are some great images for you to add to you creative arsenal. Here are the two flyers…

Click on either of the images above to download a PDF. I think they are great assortment of very different stamps and will come in handy for many different occasions. Don’t forget that you can only get them until March 31st!

Wow! That’s a lot of cool new product! Now on to today’s post which is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. This time around we have a sketch from Carole Burrage…

I had a good idea what I was going to use when I saw the sketch. I have been looking through some magazines for some new color inspiration and I saw one with Rich Razzleberry, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White (that’s not what they called them but that’s what I saw!). The base of my card is Rich Razzleberry Card Stock. For the background on the left side I embossed a piece of Chocolate Chip and Old Olive with the Honeycomb Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The panel on the right is created using some Whisper White and an image from the Oh, Hello Stamp Set stamped in Rich Razzleberry. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig for perfect alignment! For the main panel I cut a piece of Whisper White to 2 1/2″ x 3″. I measured in 3/4″ on each side on the 3″ side, top and bottom, and measure down 1 1/4″ on each side of the 2 1/2″ side. I then used my Paper Trimmer to cut the corners off and made a large hexagon. The images are from the Bloomin’ Marvelous Stamp Set**. The leaves are stamped in Old Olive and the flowers are stamped in Rich Razzleberry and cut out with my Paper Snips. Some Stampin’ Dimensionals hold them in place. They also hold the butterflies from the same set in the same color that I punched out with the Bitty Butterfly Punch and placed on the right panel. Finally, the greeting is from the Vintage Verses Stamp Set** and is stamped in Chocolate Chip. The colors bring to mind the garden and I love the worn look of the images form the Bloomin’ Marvelous Set. I hope that enjoyed all of the announcements and my card for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. Thank for stopping by and enjoy your day!

All Dressed Up Birthday & Special Announcements

Good morning everyone! How are we all doing this fine Monday morning? I’m doing well, I had a nice weekend with some fun time on Saturday and some creative time on Sunday. It was a very nicely balanced weekend, something that I am not usually able to achieve. So I don’t know if you noticed but I got a little bored with the blog look. I opened up My Digital Studio and played around and this is what I came up with. What do you think? I know Affection Collection is “Vintage” but it’s still one of my favorite sets. Leave me a comment to share your thoughts on the new look.

Before I get to today’s card I have two exciting things to share with you!

First up is the Dude! You’re Welcome Kit! A kit designed by men for men because “Real Men Build Cards” Check out the fun video…

Real Men Build Cards!

I say it’s about time! It’s a fun way to give a guy a creative outlet. And gentlemen, the more you order the better! 🙂

Stampin’ Up! has also announced a new subscription service called My Paper Pumpkin.

Each month you will get a kit that will enable you to create some cards or another surprise project. The cost… only $19.95 per month and that includes shipping! How cool is that?!?! Everyone needs to experience a little creativity and what better way than to get a box of supplies with everything (except adhesive) that you need to make a project! You can sign up by clicking here. As a special bonus you will receive a Clear Block D in your first kit. There is also an option for a trial kit if you just want to take it for a test drive coming in March. What a great way to spend about 30 minutes, being creative and making something that you can give to others or keep for yourself. When you go to the site and decided to sign up (you know you want to!) choose me as you Demonstrator, Justin Krieger – Bethpage, NY! I’ll answer any questions that you have and also will have samples of the kits each month right here for you! Think you are too busy for a little creative therapy each month… think again!

First Kit

Trial Kit

Now off we go with today’s card. I saw the All Dressed Up Framelits, Pop’ n Cuts and Stamp Set in the Spring Catalog and thought now why would I order that?! That’s way too girly for me! Then I thought, well I have a lot of female friends that would probably appreciate a card made with these fashionable items, so I caved! I made this card for a friend of mine at work for her birthday. The base of the card is Primrose Petals Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Very Vanilla with the Elegant Bouquet Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The pretty dress and dressmakers stand are cut out with the Dress Up Framelits Dies, the stand in Crumb Cake and the dress from the Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack. A thin piece of Silver Glimmer Paper is used for the belt. The flower is Primrose Petals punched out with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack and a Basic Jewels Rhinestone is adhered in the center. For the greeting I stamped the happy birthday from the Made for You Stamp Set in Gumball Green. The Print Poetry Designer Series Paper makes a great print for the dress and the card was super simple to make and my friend really liked it and I hope that you enjoyed it too! Thank you so much for spending some time with me today, I always appreciate your visit! Have a great day!

Create with Connie and Mary 234

Morning all! Ahh… Saturday how I love thee! I’m off to the city this morning to visit my friend Kim. We are going to the movies later to see the Life of Pi and after that maybe we’ll get some Korean food, yum! What are you all up to today? It’s supposed to be in the 50’s here and tomorrow we are supposed to get up to the 60’s! Now that’s more like it! I’m sure that it will be short lived but appreciated none the less.

Today’s post is for this week’s Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. For this week’s challenge they have given us a color challenge…

A very different color combinations for me. I do love Midnight Muse and I wanted to do something a little different. The base of the card is Whisper White Card Stock and I stamped the leaves from the Madison Avenue Stamp Set** in Midnight Muse down the right side of the base. The background and the Pink Pirouette rounded squares are both embossed with the Vine Street Textured Impressions Embossing Folder**. The larger rounded squares under the Pink Pirouette ones are Midnight Muse. I rounded the corners with the 1/2″ Circle Punch and the Pink ones are rounded with the 3/16″ Corner Rounder. The “petals are adhered to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. For the greeting I used the Bloomin’ Marvelous Stamp Set stamped in Midnight Muse and rounded all of the corners of it with the 3/16” Corner Rounder. I really like the retro modern feel of the card and I enjoyed the colors together more than I thought I would. I hope you like my Create with Connie and Mary Color Challenge card for this week. Thank you for visiting me today and don’t forget to come back tomorrow for a new Paper Players Color Challenge from Anne Marie. Have a adventurous day! 🙂

Freshly Made Sketches #68

Hello there peeps! How is everything going? My week seems long and drawn out but I guess that’s the whole work thing. LOL! When I come home and sit down to craft the evening just flies by. I wish I could just sit and craft the day away but I have to pay for all of my goodies somehow! But it’s all better today because it’s Friday! I’m off to Manhattan tomorrow to see my friend Kim, always a good time!

For today’s post I give you my Freshly Made Sketches card for this week’s challenge. Our challenge host is Jen M. and she has provided us with this sketch…

I wanted to keep my card as clean and simple as possible. I started off with a base of Gumball Green Card Stock. The Very Vanilla contains some images from the Secret Garden Stamp Set. The leaves are stamped in Gumball Green and the flowers in Raspberry Ripple. I cut the flowers out with the coordinating Secret Garden Framelits Dies. For the centers I punched out some Summer Starfruit with the Itty Bitties Punch Pack and using my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker I put some dots on them. I adhered the centers to the flowers with some 2-Way Glue and the flowers to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The band across the lower half is Raspberry Ripple with some Very Vanilla. I stamped the bees from the Collage Curios Stamp Set in Summer Starfruit. Wouldn’t you know that a little stamp and punch from Sale-A-Bration snuck in there for the greeting. The stamp set is from the Petite Pretties Stamp Set** and the punch is the Petite Curly Label**. Some more Summer Starfruit for it’s color and one more Stampin’ Dimensional to keep it in place. I really do love the bold spring colors and the little bees are just awesome! I hope that you liked my Freshly Made Sketches card for this week’s challenge. Thank you for checking in with me today! Have an excellent day!

Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #24

Hello everyone! So here we are at Wednesday, almost there! The weather has been much nicer around here lately. It has been in the 40’s and I think it’s supposed to go up to the 50’s over the weekend. I’m making a list of things that I want to do when it gets warmer outside. Does it show that I can’t wait for the spring?!?!

If it’s Wednesday that means it’s time for this week’s Paper Craft Crew Challenge. This week we have a simple sketch…

I wanted to use some new products from the upcoming Sale-A-Bration promotion that starts January 22, 2013. I also haven’t tried the Creped Filter Paper that I got from the 2013 Spring Catalog so I incorporated it into this card. The base of my card is Midnight Muse Card Stock. The background is a piece of Creped Filter Paper. I used my Glue Stick to adhere it to the card base. For the strip of Paper I used a piece from the Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack. The flags are Soft Suede, the bottom one has some Metallic 3/16″ Brads on it. I used the Feeling Sentimental Stamp Set** for the image and greeting. I stamped both of them in Midnight Muse and used the 2 1/2″ Circle punch to punch out the Penny Farthing. The large button is one of the Silver Basic Designer Buttons and I threaded some Whisper White Bakers Twine through the holes and left the ends long before adhering it to the card with some Mini Glue Dots. This card would be great for a masculine birthday card and I really like the texture that the Creped Filter Paper gives the background. I hope you enjoyed my Paper Craft Crew Design Team card for this week’s sketch challenge. Head on over to the blog and see what the other designers have come up with and post a card of your own! Thanks, as always for taking some time to stop by and see what I’m up to. I hope that you all have a wonderful day!

Mojo 275

One down and four more to go! How was everyone’s Monday? Mine was bearable, but just! I did have card class with my daughter last night and I always enjoy that. Valentine’s projects were last night’s focus. Some 3 x 3 cards and a box, a Pillow Box and a card. Is it wrong of me that I keep my projects because I like them?!?! If I feel the need to give one to someone I make a duplicate, I have a lot of cards! LOL!

Today’s post is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. For this week Julee Tilman has provided us with this sketch…

I’m liking the panels on this one, I also knew as soon as I saw it what I was going to use! The base of my card is Calypso Coral Card Stock, a color I haven’t used in a while. I embossed a piece of Very Vanilla with the Honeycomb Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for the background. The pieces of paper are from the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper Pack. The top most one is backed by a piece of Calypso Coral. I took a piece of Early Espresso and adhered a piece of Lucky Limeade Ruffled Ribbon to it and mounted it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love the Soda Pop Tops so that’s what I used in the middle. I stamped two images form the Collage Curios Stamp Set in So Saffron and Calypso Coral. The 1″ Circle Punch crops it out for a perfect fit in the middle of the Soda Pop Top and a Stampin’ Dimensional holds it in place. The greeting is from the My Little Valentine Stamp Set that is part of one of the Valentine’s Promotions that Stampin’ Up! is running right now. It punches out perfectly with the Small Oval Punch and a piece of Lucky Limeade, punched out with the 1″ Circle Punch, backs it nicely. One more Stampin’ Dimensional adheres it to the card. I really like the Tea for Two DSP and the Soda Pop Tops are my absolute favorite! I hope that you enjoyed my Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card for this week. Thanks so much for checking in with me and I hope that you have a great day!

Paper Players #127 :-)

A very good Sunday morning to you all! I had a nice day yesterday. Taylor and I both got much needed haircuts, we went to lunch with my friend Louis at Panera (a favorite of mine). After lunch went to MJM Shoes and Taylor and I both got Vans sneakers for $12.99! The bargains didn’t stop there, I went to the Gap later on with my friend Heather and got jeans for $11.59 and a winter coat for $35.68! I love a good bargain!

Today is an especially good day for me as I start my Guest Designer term with the Paper Players! I have been playing along with them for over a while and have enjoyed every one of their challenges. They are a talented group and I always look forward to seeing what wonderful creations they come up with. For the first challenge of the New Year Ann has given us a “Love is in the Air” challenge…

A great challenge to give you a head start on your Valentine’s cards! And who doesn’t like a little romance?!?! My card starts off with a base of Pool Party Card Stock that I stamped in Pool Party with the Netting Background Stamp. Across the bottom is a piece of Primrose Petals that I embossed with the Delicate Designs Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. For the top I used the Hearts a Flutter Stamp Set and Hearts a Flutter Framelits that I used to cut out the flags that are stamped in Primrose Petals. The greeting is from the Delightful Dozen Stamp Set and is also stamped in Primrose Petals and I cut it out with the Ovals Collection Framelits Dies and adhered it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. In the middle of the card is a piece of Real Red that I cut out with the Hearts Collection Framelits Dies. The edge is pierced using the Occasions Paper-Piercing Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool. On top of that is a piece of Pool Party that I cut out with the Delicate Doilies Large Sizzlit and The heart image on top of that is also from the Hearts a Flutter Stamp Set and is stamped in Primrose Petals and cut out with the Hearts a Flutter Framelits Dies. I mounted it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. For the final piece I used the Pinwheel Sizzlits Die to cut out a piece of More Amore Specialty Designer Series paper and a 1/8″ Silver Mini Brad to hold it together. A Stampin’ Dimensionals adheres it to the card. I love all of the new products from the 2013 Spring Catalog and they go so well with the items from the 2012-2013 Annual Catalog. I hope that you enjoyed my Valentine’s card for this weeks Paper Players “Love is in the Air” challenge form Ann. Head on over to the blog and see what wonderful creations the other designers have come up with and post a card of yours while you’re there! Thanks for checking in with me today and I hope that you have an enjoyable Sunday!

Fab Friday 09 & Sneak Peek

Happy Saturday! I have a ton of projects to get done this weekend, let’s see if I’m successful in my endeavor! What kind of fun stuff are all of you up this weekend? I’m super excited that I start my Guest Designer position with the Paper Players tomorrow! As promised I have a little sneak peek of my card…

Paper Players GD Love #127 - Version 2

Since the 2013 Spring Catalog is out now I think you need some more peeks at the Sale-A-Bration goodies! Today’s card, for Fab Friday, features two stamp sets from it and a punch. 🙂

The base of my card is a piece of Summer Starfruit Card Stock. The background is created with a piece of Bravo Burgundy and the Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. For the greeting I used the Vintage Verses Stamp Set** and stamped it in Bravo Burgundy. I did the scored scallop and dots using the new Simply Scored Borders Scoring Plate. I like the way that you have all of the different ones to choose from and the clear guide makes it easy to use. Before adhering the greeting panel to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals I rounded the two top corners with the 1/2″ Circle Punch. The little hellos are from the Pretty Petites Stamp Set**. I stmped them in Summer Starfruit and punched them out with the Petite Curly Label Punch**. They are also adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I think that the Summer Starfruit and Bravo Burgundy work quite well together and I love the Vintage Verses! I hope that you enjoyed my Fab Friday card and my little peek at my Paper Players Design Team card! Have a great day! 🙂

Freshly Made Sketchs #67

Happy Thursday! Thursday already, I do love a short week. Maybe we could petition to have every Tuesday off, might as well add Monday to that too! Ahh… I believe that’s what they call wishful thinking! LOL! How are you all doing today? I’m getting happier because we are almost at Friday. It was a quiet day yesterday, definitely on the frigid side! It’s supposed to be cold here for a couple more days. I really can’t wait for the warm weather. How is the weather by you? 🙂

FYI… today is the first day that you can order form the new 2013 Spring Catalog!! I hope that all of my sneak peeks have inspired you! To celebrate the launch of the new catalog anyone that places an order with me today through Saturday for $100 or more will get $20 toward a future purchase once Sale-A-Bration starts (January 22 to March 22, 2013)!

Now for today’s post that is for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge. This week we have a sketch from Jennifer T….

When I saw the hearts on the sketch I of course immediately thought Valentine’s Day. I looked at it a little longer and decided not to go with that although the greeting does come from a Valentine’s set! The base of my card is Sahara Sand Card Stock. I cut the bottom edge off of a piece of Raspberry Ripple with the Large Scallop Edgelit Die. The greeting is stamped in Basic Black and is form the You Are Loved Stamp Set. A strip of Basic Black is adhered across under the greeting with some 2-Way Glue. The large image is stamped in Raspberry Ripple from the Quint-essntial Flower Single Wood Mount Stamp. I used the 2 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch to punch it out and adhered it to the card with SNAIL. The two circles are from the Circle Circus Stamp Set and are stamped in Basic Black and Sahara Sand. The black one is punched out with the 1 1/4″ Circle Punch and the sand one with the 3/4″ Circle Punch. Some Stampin’ Dimensionals hold them in place. I thought about adding some pearls or rhinestones but I really like the simplicity of the card. I’m also loving the color combination! I hope that you like this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge card. Thank you, as always for taking some time to see me today and for your comments. I appreciate it! Have a great day! 🙂
