Mojo 336

Thursday, one more day until Friday. This week can’t be over fast enough! Work has been not so much fun this week and it is 28 degrees this morning. All we got was a taste of Spring but it was much appreciated! A neat little bit of news for you, my butterfly card (Click HERE to see the original post) from a few days ago is the featured card on the SplitCoast Stampers Stampin’ Up! Gallery page! Pretty awesome! I have some swaps to make for the Control Freaks and I haven’t decided what I’m going to do yet. I need to spend some time this weekend on that! LOL! How is everything by you? Hopefully all is well.

My post for today is for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge. Debbie Carriere has a nice clean sketch for us this week…

When I saw the sketch I immediately thought of the Starburst Collection Framelits and the coordinating Starburst Sayings Stamp Set. My card base is Basic Black Card Stock and my background is a piece of Pool Party. The panel in the middle is Basic Black with a piece of paper from the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper pack. I have been looking for a nice place to use that particular piece of DSP and I think I found it! I cut out a piece of Silver Foil Sheet with the Starburst Collection Framelits to back the greeting, stamped in Pool Party, from the Starburst Sayings Stamp Set, also cut out with the Framelits. Another stamp from the same set, stamped in Basic Black is adhered with a Stampin’ Dimensionals in the lower right and that’s how the other pieces are adhered to the card. Simple yes, but the Silver Foil Sheet gives it the little something extra. I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch challenge. I thank you for checking in and hope that you all have a terrific Thursday! 🙂

Sweet Butterfly Sorbet

Happy day it stays lighter longer! Did you all remember to set your clocks forward one hour? I did, but I still made sure that I got the hour sleep! Yesterday was a clean the house and organize the craft area day. I did that for a good part of the morning but then I had to go out for a bit, it was in the upper 50’s here yesterday. A little ride around in the convertible made me very happy! Last night I watched the Hunger Games – Catching Fire, it was a great movie, even better than the first one. I can’t wait for the next one!! How is your weekend going so far?

Today I have a nice simple card for you. I do love a negative punch and I haven’t used butterflies in a while. My card base starts off with a piece of Sahara Sand Card Stock and the background is a piece of Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper cut smaller to let the sides show. For the greeting I stamped one of the sentiments from the Regarding Dahlias Stamp Set in Basic Black using my Stamp-a-ma-jig for perfect placement! I then used the Elegant Butterfly punch and the Bitty Butterfly punch out some Basic Black. The Circles Collection Framelits are then used to cut each of the negative butterfly punches out. Some Stampin’ Dimensionals give them some lift and hold them to the card base. Simple but I love the pop of the black against the fun Sweet Sorbet DSP! Thanks for stopping by to see my card for today, I appreciate your time and wish you all very nice Sunday! 🙂

Well, all of that snow that we were supposed to get yesterday didn’t happen! Woo hoo! We got a dusting and it’s so cold here that none of it went away but that’s ok! Yesterday wasn’t too bad for a Monday. I got some things done at work and we had to go to Canon for a copier demonstration, our one is a piece of junk. We got the entire history of all of Canon’s products, not sure if that was necessary! After work I had card class at Sandy’s, always a good time. I came home and made the card that you are about to see here today. Once again I was lucky and put it together in my head before I got home! Love when that happens!

Before we get today’s post easy week Stampin’ Up! has some specials on current products and here is what they have for this week:

So, today’s card is for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge and Julee Tilman has given us a fun one to work with this week…

I saw the element in the middle as a big frame! It was also funny the way the background is split, I just did something similar yesterday! The base of my card is Basic Black Card Stock. My background on the left is a piece of paper from the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper pack, I also used a different piece for the inside of the frame. On the right is a piece of Pool Party that I embossed with the Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. For the frame I used a piece of Sahara Sand and stamped it in Basic Black with the Dictionary Background Stamp. A piece of Summer Starfruit Twine from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack is tied in a bow around the top. My greeting is from the A Dozen Thoughts Stamp Set and is stamped in Basic Back and the left side is flagged. The two flowers are from the Petal Parade Stamp Set and are stamped in Crisp Cantaloupe and Summer Starfruit, the smaller flower is punched out with the 1 1/2″ Circle Punch and the larger one with the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch. Both the frame and the flowers are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I know I’ve said it before but I really do love the colors in the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper and the Dictionary Stamp is still one of my all time favorites! And that is my card for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge. Thanks so much for coming by to see it and I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday! 🙂

Yeah! Thursday! One more day to go until… FRIDAY! It snowed here yesterday morning but thankfully it didn’t amount to anything. We are supposed to get another storm on Sunday night, fingers crossed that it’s not snow and rain instead! I had a nice day yesterday. The best part was doing my Stampin’ Up! Webinar last night. It was the same one that I did at Leadership, Pinteresting. Thank you to all of you that joined in and if you missed it it will we posted sometime next week on the Demonstrator site. I also want to thank Katie Adams and Brian Pilling for their assistance last night. You guys are awesome! 🙂

Today’s post is for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge. I love it when they mix it up and this week is one of those weeks that they did just that. Julee Tilman has given us this tall skinny sketch…

This was one of those times that I knew exactly what I was going to do when I saw the sketch! My card starts off with a base of Whisper White Card Stock and the background consists of four layers. The top one is just a simple piece of Sahara Sand. The bottom three are Crisp Cantaloupe, Pool Party and Pistachio Pudding. I used my Fringe Scissors on each piece and overlapped them. My tag is created with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch and some Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper backed with a piece of Whisper White to make it a little more sturdy. I tied a piece of twine from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack throughout the top of the tag and mounted it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The bird is from the Natures’s Hello Host(ess) Stamp Set and is stamped in Pool Party and cut out with the Backyard Basics Framelits. Behind him is a piece of Pistachio Pudding that I stamped with one of the stamps form this month’s Paper Pumpkin Kit in Pistachio Pudding and punched out with the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch. Behind that is a piece of Summer Starfruit that is punched out with the 2 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch. I adhered it to the tag and done! I really do like the stamps in the Nature’s Hello Stamp Set, they are neat because they have the greeting inside the image. Hopefully the Fringe Scissors with be back in stock soon, they are so much fun! Thank you very much for stopping by to see my Mojo Monday card for this week’s sketch challenge. I hope that you all have a terrific Thursday and I’ll see you back here tomorrow for my Fab Friday Design Team card. I did something a little different and you’ll have to let me know what you think! 🙂

SUO Challenges 91

Yesterday was a nice quiet day which is especially good for a Monday. Work moved along at a nice pace. It did get a lot colder as the day progressed and I thin last night it dropped down to 28 degrees. So much for our very little taste of Spring! We are supposed to get some more snow later today and tonight but most of what we had gotten is gone so that’s no too bad.

Today I’m over on the SUO Challenges blog for my Design Team card for this week’s challenge and that is banner fun! Create a project using banners, simple enough, right?!?!

I love the Banner Blast Stamp Set and the Banner Punch from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog. The best part about the punch is that it will be in the 2014-2015 Annual Catalog! So make sure that you pick one up for FREE during Sale-A-Bration! My card starts off with a base of Very Vanilla Card Stock and the background is a piece of Daffodil Delight. The main panel is also Very Vanilla and I stamped my greeting from the Best of Greetings Stamp Set in Island Indigo. My flower and leaves are from the Peaceful Petals StampSet. The flower is stamped in Calypso Coral and the leaves in Garden Green, both are cut out with my Paper Snips. I used some eyeshadow applicators to color in the images. I love the effect that the “sponging” gives but the control is much better with the eyeshadow applicator. The stamens of the flower are colored in with my Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Write Marker and the flower is mounted to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The three banners are from the Banner Balst Stamp Set and are stamped in Island Indigo and Calypso Coral. I punched them out with the Banner Punch and adhered them to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Not too complicated and I love the way the flower looks colored in! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team Card for the SUO Challenges banner fun challenge. Take a quick click over to the blog to see my fellow design team members have for you and enter your card in the gallery! Thank you so much for checking and enjoy your Tuesday! 🙂

Paper Players 184

Hello my friends, how was the weekend? Mine was good. It was a very nice day here yesterday we got up to 58 degrees, yes the top was down in the car! I have been waiting months to put it down! I did some crafting in the morning and then spent the rest of the day with my friend Heather. We ran some errands and then just hung out at her house and talked and laughed. I love days spent with my friends, they really are the best!

It’s Monday so that means it time for this week’s Paper Players Challenge. This week we have a sketch from Jaydee…

I really love the Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper, it has great colors and nice soft patterns and images. My card today starts off with a base of Smoky Slate Card Stock and the background is a piece of Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper. Next up is a Tea Lace Paper Doily that helps to anchor the greeting. Before that, a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe, Tangerine Tango and Silver Foil Sheet go across the middle. My greeting is from the You’re Lovely Stamp Set from Sale-A-Bration and is stamped in Crisp Cantaloupe and cut out with the Deco Labels Collection Framelits. Two Basic Jewels Rhinestones on either side give it a little sparkle. Even though the DSP doesn’t list Crisp Cantaloupe I think it works really well with it, especially with the Tangerine Tango. And there you have my card for this week’s Paper Players sketch challenge from Jaydee. I really do appreciate your stopping by and also taking time to leave a comment. You guys make my day every day! Have a great Monday everyone! 🙂

SUO Challenges 90

Well folks, we made it through another Monday! Woo-hoo!! Not much to report today, it was a pretty average day at the office. Oh, but someone in Mexico City had some Starbucks, on me! Apparently I was part of the Target Identity Fraud debacle. Here’s my question, how can I be in New York buying something at 8:30 and then in Mexico City buying something at 11:15? Unless I’m hanging out with Scotty and Spock, I don’t think that’s possible! Anyway, a new card is on the way and hopefully all of that will be over and done with by tomorrow. How was your day, anyone buy anything on you in another country? LOL!

Today I’m over on the SUO Challenges blog, this time around we have a fun, Punch Parade challenge for you. I decided I would step outside of my comfort zone and put a big bow on my card today. I’m not a much of a bow guy, but it does kind of look neat. The card base is Basic Black Card Stock. The top half of my background is a piece of Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper and the bottom is a piece of Sahara Sand that I embossed with the Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. A strip of Summer Starfruit separates the two. I created my tag using the Angled Tag Topper Punch and some Basic Black. My bow was made using the Envelope Punch Board. There are some really great YouTube videos showing you tutorials on how to do it. It was pretty easy and actually kind of fun! Mine is made from some more Sweet Sorbet DSP and I used Sticky Strip to adhere it all together. The flowers are from the Petite Petals Stamp Set, are stamped in Pool Party and punched out with the Petite Petals Punch. Three Basic Jewels Pearls are adhered in the center of each flower. My greeting is from the Really Good Greetings Stamp Set, stamped in Basic Black and cut out with one of the elements from the Circle Card Thinlits Dies. All of the elements are adhered to the tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I’ve said it before, I really like the colors in the Sweet Sorbet DSP and the tag made from Basic Black is a nice change of pace! You should definitely head on over to the SUO Design Team blog to see what the other Design Team members have come up with for this challenge! We’d love to see your submissions as well, so enter your card in the gallery! As always I appreciate you stopping by and I hope you have a terrific Tuesday!

Paper Players 182

Wow! that weekend just flew by! My Sunday was a little messed up, I didn’t get up until 9:45! That’s why my post was so late yesterday. I haven’t slept that late in years! It threw my whole day off, so funny how a little routine change can mess things up! I did get to spend some time crafting and ran an errand or two but for the most part I just took it easy. How was the rest of your weekend? I’m so happy that you enjoyed the pictures and I have informed Andrew that he needs to make another card or two! 🙂

Monday means it’s time for this week’s Paper Players challenge. This week Nance has given us a fun color combo…

I love these colors together and I took one look at it and the idea for the card crept into my brain! My card base is Midnight Muse Card Stock and the background is a piece of Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper. I used the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on another piece of Midnight Muse and flagged the bottom. Some Stampin’ Dimensionals adhere it to the card. The Secret Garden Framelits are used to cut out a piece of Champagne Glimmer Paper and the flowers that are from the Simple Stems Stamp Set and are stamped in Crisp Cantaloupe. There is also a strip of Champagne Glimmer Paper across the top. My greeting is from the Simply Celebrate Stamp Set and is heat embossed in Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and cut out with one of the dies from the Circle Card Thinlits. A few loose sequins from the Gold Sequin Trim complete the card. So there you have my card for this week’s Paper Players color challenge from Nance. Le tme know what you think of it by leaving me a comment. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your Monday! 🙂

Freshly Made Sketches 122

Wow! Thursday already! Pretty good speed for this week. The weather you ask… it snowed in the morning and then rained yesterday making the snow nice and heavy and the roads a slushy mess. Last night it went down to 19 degrees so it all froze. Winter is just not very nice this year! I came home last night and crafted for a bit, picked up Andrew from a cappella practice and dropped him at home. He is not feeling well again and has a concert on Friday. Hopefully his cough will be under control by then. It’s miserable being sick as you know but when you sing it’s worse. How is everything in your neck of the woods?

Some more Stampin’ Up! news for you today. They have released another Photopolymer Stamp Set called Sans and Stripes. It’s a fun modern alphabet set. You can stamp them alone or use the stripes one to create a shadow. Check out the image below or click HERE for a PDF of the flyer!

My inspiration for today’s post comes from this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge. The sketch this week is provided by Cindy…

I had some fun using a bunch of different elements for this card. The base is Soft Suede Card Stock and the background is a piece of Bermuda Bay That I rounded the top corners of. The strip of paper across the lower half is from the Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper Stack. My heart is a piece of Real Red that I cut out with the Hearts Collection Framelits Dies. I used the Scallop Tag Topper Punch on a piece of Whisper White and one of the elements from the Circle Card Thinlits Dies on the bottom to cut out the “xoxo”. My greeting is from the Follow My Heart Stamp Set and is stamped in Soft Suede. Three little banners from the Love You More Stamp Set, stamped in Bermuda Bay and punched out with the Banner Punch go across the top of the tag and some Stampin’ Dimensionals adhere it to the card. I love the negative “xoxo”, it looks neat with the Designer Series Paper showing through and I really can’t get enough of the red and blue together! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge. Thank you for taking some time out of your day to come and visit me. Here’s to a great Thursday! 🙂

Hello my friends! Justin here from Alaska… oh wait, I live in New York, it just feels like I live in Alaska! LOL! We got some more snow last night about two inches and it’s raining now. I know you must be sick of hearing about the nasty winter that we are having here and I can tell you that I can’t wait to start talking about driving around with the top down in the car again!! Come on Spring, you can do it! Get here fast!! I wish that the flights to Florida were cheaper for this weekend, I would be on my way down there! 🙂

It being Wednesday and all means that it’s time for this week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge. This week we have the following for you…

I do love some flags! I think I was really wanting spring when I made this card, the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog has a nice spring feel to it! My card starts off with a base of Basic Black Card Stock and the background is a piece of Sahara Sand. A strip of Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper goes across the middle and also is used for one of the flags. My other flag is a piece of Pistachio Pudding that I embossed with the Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (also from Sale-A-Bration!) For my greeting is used the See Ya Later Stamp Set (yup, Sale-A-Bration!) stamped in Pool Party and cut out with the Ovals Collection Framelits Dies. The owl Builder Punch is used to punch out the heart from some Crisp Cantaloupe, perfect fit for the stamp! My three flowers are stamped in Summer Starfruit and are from the Best of Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set, they go perfectly with the DSP! Finally, two Subtles Candy Dots complete the card. I really do love the colors in the Sweet Sorbet DSP and I thought that it was really cool the way the tower goes so well with it! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge. Head on over to the blog to see my teammates have for you and enter your card in the taller for a chance to one of the Artisan Picks! I really do appreciate you stopping but to visit with me and I hope that you have a fun Wednesday! 🙂
