Wooden Watercolor

Hello everyone! My presentation was so much fun! I loved doing it! I was actually a little sad when it was over. Thanks to all of you that were able to come and see me! I hope to be able to do one again in the future! Here is peek of me during the presentation.

Some updates for you from Leadership! Stampin’ Up! is coming out with new markers called Blendabilities! They are comparable to Copics and will be available in 12 sets of main colors and one set of flesh tones. The main colors will have three shades of each color and will be $11.95. The flesh tone set will have five markers and will be $22.95. There will also be a color lifter that will be $4.95. I played with them and they are great! Here is the little fox that I colored. You can see the subtle color change towards the top, I used all three colors of Pumpkin Pie that I used! There will also be a Memento Tuxedo Black Stamp Pad available for purchase to used with the markers.

Now on to my card for today. It starts off with a base of Very Vanilla. The main background is a piece of Soft Suede that is embossed with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. On top of that is a piece of Daffodil Delight which is adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut it to 3 1/4″ by 5 1/4″ and stamped the greeting from the Happy Watercolor Stamp Set in Tangerine Tango. My tag is a piece of Very Vanilla and I used the Angled Tag Topper Punch to create the top. The images and greeting are also from the Happy Watercolor Stamp Set and are stamped in Daffodil Delight, Soft Suede and Tangerine Tango. A piece of Gold Bakers Twine finishes off the tag and some Stampin’ Dimensionals adhere it to the card. I like the woodgrain peeking out from behind the panel on top, and we all know I love a tag! I would make a card with a tag every day if I could! Thanks so much for checking in today. I’ll have still more updates for you tomorrow. Until then, have a fun Friday!

Lots of <3

Hello kiddies! How are things by you? Things are good here in Houston. My flight was all good yesterday and I arrived safely. I met up with Mary Fish and Brian King and had some lunch. After that we attended a seminar with the very talented Lisa Pretto. Lots of info about using Facebook in your business. The Pals were also nice enough to adopt me once again and I attended their dinner. They really are the sweetest bunch of people you could ever want to meet. I have a few pics for you this morning. First up is Brian and I at lunch, he is such a funny guy!

Here is me with my buddy, the very talented Ann Schach.

Love seeing all my Stampin’ Up! peeps! So much fun!

Today I have a card that is filled with Love for you! The base of my card is Calypso Coral Card Stock and my background is a piece of Gold Fancy Foil Designer Vellum. Next up is a piece of Etcetera Designer Series Paper that is backed with a piece of card stock to keep it sturdy. Around the bottom is some Gold Bakers Twine and the panel is adhered to the base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The large heart in the upper left is a piece of Champagne Glimmer Paper cut out with the Hearts Collection Framelits Dies. All of the stamped images are from the Language of Love Stamp Set and are stamped in Calypso Coral. The banner is cut out with the Banner Framelits Dies, the large stamped heart is punched out with the Full Heart Punch and the small hearts along the right side are punched out with the Small Heart Punch and adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The small heart in the middle is a piece of Calypso Coral cut out with the Hearts a Flutter Framelits Dies and embossed with the Adorning Accents Embossing Folder. My greeting is from the Best of Love 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 fun collage style card that is bursting with love! Thanks so much for stopping by today! Take a minute to wish me luck on my presentation coming up later and I’ll have some more updates for you tomorrow. Enjoy your Thursday!

Mojo 327

Don’t panic… you’re in the right place! LOL! I decided it was time to change up the blog. I had the last one for quite some time and I thought it could use a refresh. I went with a cleaner and simpler design this time around. It was all done in MDS and I figured it would be easy for me to change the colors of the feathers if I get bored again. You’ll have to let me know what you think; as always, your input is valued. Yesterday was my last day of work for a week and it was actually a pretty good day! The weather here started out at 56 degrees yesterday morning and this morning is a balmy 7. So looking forward to my flight to Houston tomorrow. In other news, airlines cancelled a bunch of flights again today. Keep your fingers crossed that mine goes off without a hitch! By the way, I didn’t forget about my little scavenger hunt contest from last week where I asked you to tell me what “Vintage” Designer Series Paper I used. Thanks for playing along and my randomly selected winner is Tricia! Please click the “Contact Me” button at the top of the blog and send me your information so I can send you your surprise!

My inspiration for today’s card comes from this week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge. Julee Tilman has given us a simple sketch this week…

For my card base I used Smoky Slate Card Stock. The strip of Designer Series Paper down the left side is from the Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper Pack. The main panel is a piece of Whisper White backed with a piece of Basic Black and peeking out from underneath is a piece of Bermuda Bay that I cut out with the Deco Labels Collection Framelits Dies. My stamped images are from the Geometrical Stamp Set. The triangles are stamped in Strawberry Slush, Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate and Basic Gray and the greeting is stamped in Bermuda Bay. I used the Triangle Punch for the four triangles and the Chevron Border Punch was used to punch out the black chevrons. All of them are adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I really do like the colors in the Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper, they’re a bunch of colors that I normally wouldn’t think to put together, I love when they do that! Thank you very much for stopping by to see my card for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge. Don’t forget to let me know what you think about the new blog design and enjoy your Tuesday! 🙂

Retro Hexagon Moon

It was another chilly day here but the sun was out so that made it a little better. I had a nice day with Andrew, we ran errands and had some lunch. He had dinner with the people from his a cappella group for one of the members birthdays tonight. I watched some TV and relaxed for a bit. Sometimes it’s really nice to just be, don’t you think? I’m off to Manhattan for a bit this morning, it’s supposed to rain again but be in the 40’s so hopefully that will get rid of some of the snow!

Today my card starts off with a base of Baked Brown Sugar. I used the Hexagon Hive Thinlits Die to cut out a piece of Coastal Cabana, Tangerine Tango and Very Vanilla. I adhered the Coastal Cabana piece to the card base and randomly filled in the empty spots with the other two colors. Next up I flagged a piece of Retro Fresh Designer Series Paper and adhered that to the background. My greeting is from the Love You to the Moon Stamp Set, is stamped in Coastal Cabana and cut out with the Chalk Talk Framelits Dies. A piece of Tangerine Tango, also cut out with the same dies, is behind that. Under that is a piece of Very Vanilla and I punched both ends with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch, they’re adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I really like the way the Hexagon Hive looks when it’s randomly filled in and how cool is it that the double punch of the Scallop Tag Topper fits behind the Chalk Talk Framelit? I hope you enjoyed my bright, bold card for today. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and have a great Sunday!

Catherine & Cathy Create 19

Happy Saturday! Yesterday it was a battle between my dislike of snow and the fact that I got the day off because of it! Yes, I hate snow and cold and all of the other winter stuff but a three day week with a surprise Friday off, that pretty awesome! There wasn’t much else to do besides craft so that exactly what I did! I also spoke to my cousin in England for an hour, that was nice, I miss her! Oh, and I watched Oblivion with Tom Cruise, pretty good. I wanted to share this picture that was taken from my window to show you how lovely a morning it was! There are many more houses in the distance but the snow caused white-out conditions!

Enough about the weather! I’m over on the Catherine & Cathy Create blog for this month’s card challenge. All we ask is for a little doodle on your project! I wanted to keep my card simple so this is what I came up with. The base of my card is Very Vanilla Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Marina Mist (very neglected color) with the Alphabet Press Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for my background and then took my Calypso Coral Stampin’ Write Marker and “doodled”! As you can see I’m not a very good doodler! The fun circles are from the Spiral Spins Stamp Set and are stamped in Calypso Coral and Marina Mist and punched out with the 1 3/8″ and 1/2″ Circle Punches. For the greeting I used the Perfect Pennants Stamp Set, stamped it in Calypso Coral and punched it out with the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch. All of the pieces are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I had to have the Spiral Spins Set because it reminds me of Spirograph and I thought the color combo was different! I appreciate you dropping by to see my card for the Catherine & Cathy Create cards challenge. Click on over to the blog and see what the rest of the Design Team have done and do a little doodle on a card and enter it in the gallery! Have a fun and frost free Saturday! 🙂

Crisp Starfruit Stars & Little Sneak Peek

How was your Sunday? Mine was pretty good for the last one of the year. I went into Manhattan in the morning and when I was finished with my appointment it was raining. That sort of dashed my hopes of taking a walk. When I got back on the Island I went to see my friends Kim and Kevin, Izzy and Savannah. We had some wine and Kim made ravioli parm for dinner. It was a much needed visit and Kim is just awesome! I also got to see Andrew for a minute. He has been very sick with the flu but is doing much better! I did manage to take one picture when I got to Penn Station. It’s not very exciting but it is the home of the new LIRR station, the former Post Office. You can see how rainy and gloomy it was too.

There is no Paper Players card for today. Instead I have another fairly simple card, sort of a collage with unusual fun colors. The base of the card is Summer Starfruit Card Stock. My background is a piece of Whisper White. I stamped the large stars from the Simply Stars Stamp Set and the small ones from the Banner Blast Stamp Set** both in Smoky Slate randomly on a diagonal. The greeting is from the Bring on the Cake Stamp Set and is stamped in Early Espresso on a piece of paper from the Birthday Basics Designer Series Paper Pack. Another piece is adhered to one of the tags from the Stamp a Tag Kit and a piece of Watercolor Wonder Designer Washi Tape* is adhered around the end. Some Whisper White Bakers Twine is looped through the hole for the tie. I stamped another greeting from the Delightful Dozen Stamp Set in Early Espresso and punched it out with the “Vintage” Large Star Punch. Three more stars are punched out with the Merry Minis Punch Pack from Silver Foil Sheet and all of them are adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I really love all of the colors, I think they go quite nicely together and the Washi Tape and Silver Foil Sheet give just the right amount of sparkle. Thanks very much for coming by to see my card for today. I always appreciate your visits and love your comments! Have a good last Monday of the year! 🙂

Hexagon Hello & Peeks

I had a very quiet Saturday, but sometimes that’s necessary no? I’m not really a fan of relaxed and quiet, I would much rather be busy. I ran some errands, worked on some projects and enjoyed the somewhat warm sunny day. I did take a little time to just sit outside and be for a bit. I don’t do that often enough and it felt good. How is your weekend going so far? I’m off to Manhattan this morning. Hopefully it won’t rain!

Today I have a simple card for you that I made using some scraps that I had lying around. The base of the card is Whisper White Card Stock. I punched out two pieces of Pool Party with the Hexagon Punch and smaller hexagons are pieces that were leftover from using the Hexagon Hive Thinlit Die*. I simply adhered them to the card and then stamped the greeting from the Four You Stamp Set in Pool Party. Simple yet fun and highly mailable. I hope you enjoyed my simple sunday card and thanks for coming by. I hope you have a nice simple Sunday! 🙂

Perfect Peachy Notes Sneak Peek

Ahh yes, the weekend! Everyones favorite time of the week, well, at least my favorite! Work again was pretty calm yesterday and I’m sure that will change come next week. It was really cold here again, I’m over that! In less than two weeks I’ll be in Houston for Leadership! It really has come quickly but I’m really excited to go, it’s going to be a good time! 🙂

My card for today has a bit of a funny story behind it. A friend of mine, Emily, had said that she liked the Mr. & Mrs. card that I had done for last week’s Pals Paper Arts but wasn’t sold on the Stamp Set because of the “bathroom” couple. I had to think for a minute and then I realized that she meant the stamp I have used on my card today. She said that if I could show her a card that makes them not look like “bathroom” people she would like the Stamp Set better. So here is what I have come up with…

The base of my card is Pool Party Card Stock and I used a piece of So Saffron for the background. A strip of paper from the I Am Me Designer Series Paper Pack goes down the left side. My main image is from the Perfect Couple Stamp Set* and is stamped in Basic Gray on Pool Party and the mini heart is punched out with the Owl Builder Punch. The frame around it is created using the Squares Collection Framelits Dies and the Oh Snap! is form the Hip Notes Stamp Set* and is stamped in Real Red. I adhered it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The hearts are punched out from Real Red with the Small Heart Punch. I used the Peachy Keen Stamp Set* to stamp the arrows along the bottom and they are cut out with the On Film Framelits Dies*. I also cut out a piece of Silver Foil Sheet with them for the camera. All of the elements are adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals and some silver sequins complete the card. So, what do you think? Do they still look like “bathroom” people? I don’t think they do at all! I hope you enjoyed today’s card and thank you, as always, for stopping by! Enjoy your Saturday! 🙂

Paper Craft Crew 73 & Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas everyone!! I hope that you have a day planned with family and friends and that you get everything that you want for Christmas! It’s funny how your outlook on Christmas changes through the years. It used to be all about the gifts and now for me it’s about knowing that the people that are important to me are healthy and happy and that I get to spend time with the ones that I care about. Not just on Christmas but all through the year. Time is precocious and we need to remember that. Speaking of people, Andrew’s surgery went well and he is comfortably recovering at home. He read all of your comments yesterday and remarked that people can be so nice. He thanks you for keeping him your thoughts as do I. I also want to thank all of you for your visits and comments, they really brighten my days and keep me going! It may sound cheesy but your guys are the best!

Today is not only Christmas day but it’s also time for this week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge…

Since yesterday’s card was so simple I needed a nice full one today! My card starts off with a base of Smoky Slate Card Stock and a piece of Pool Party for the background. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the greeting from the More Merry Messages Stamp Set in Cherry Cobbler. The strip across the middle is a piece of paper from the Winter Frost Designer Series Paper Stack backed with a piece of Cherry Cobbler. I adhered some Bermuda Bay 1/8″ Taffeta Ribbon around the back with Sticky Strip before I adhered it to the card. Two flagged pieces, one Smoky Slate and one Cherry Cobbler, sit behind a piece of Bermuda Bay that I cut out with the Labels Collection Framelits Dies. The Festive Paper-Piercing Pack is used to pierce just the sides. My snowflake is cut out with the Festive Flurry Framelits Dies from a piece of Silver Glimmer Paper. In the middle is one of the Frosted Finishes Embellishments backed with a piece of Cherry Cobbler that I punched out with the 3/4″ Circle Punch. The small chevrons along the bottom are cut out with the Circle Card Thinlits and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Two Basic Jewel Rhinestones and another piece of ribbon tied in knot complete the card. I love the Bermuda Bay and Pool Party with the Cherry Cobbler, you know me, I’m all about non-traditional! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch. Stop by the blog and check out the other Designer’s projects and enter yours in the gallery. Thanks so much for stopping by to see me. I wish you and all of your peeps a very Happy Christmas! 🙂

Just Add Ink 196 & Sneak Peeks

Happy Monday of a short week! How was your Sunday? Mine was spent trying to catch up! I also had to run into Manhattan last night to see a friend and there were way too many people in there! The sidewalks were packed full and the train was worse than during rush hour! I couldn’t even take any pictures. Manhattan this close to Holidays is not the best place to be if you are not a fan of crowds! LOL!

I wanted to mention that two of my cards were Favorites on Split-Coast! My card for the Control Freaks Blog Tour was a Gallery Favorite and my card for the WOW White on White Paper Players Challenge was a CAS Favorite! Thank you very much to the peeps at Split-Coast for choosing my cards! 🙂

I was looking around yesterday and I came across this week’s Just Add Ink challenge. This time they ask you to just add Christmas! I had made this card for a very good friend which is sort of a CASE of another card that I made a few weeks ago. I really love the colors so I wanted to post it and this was the perfect excuse! The base of the card is Crumb Cake Card Stock. My background is a piece of Pool Party that I cut out with the Hexagon Hive Thinlits Die* and adhered it to the base with some 2-Way Glue. Next up is a snowflake that I cut out with the Festive Flurry Framelits Dies from a piece of Silver Glimmer Paper. My flag on the right consists of a piece of Bermuda Bay that I adhered a piece of the Silver Fancy Foil Designer Vellum* on top of. I used the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch* to make my tag and stamped my greeting from the Christmas Messages Stamp Set in Pool Party and Bermuda Bay. A piece of Natural 5/8″ Chevron Ribbon* tied with some Whisper White Bakers Twine goes through the top. Along the bottom left are three pieces of Bermuda Bay that I punched out with the Chevron Border Punch and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. A few random matte silver and silver sequins sprinkled across the card finish it off. I really love the colors and that Hexagon Hive Die is so much fun! Thank you for stopping by and visiting with me today! I really appreciate it! 🙂
