That is a lot going on for this month! Now on to today’s post which is for this week’s Paper Craft Crew. We have an interesting sketch for you this week…

I will definitely admit that when I first saw the sketch I was a little unsure of what I was going to do. Eventually I finally settled on a vintagey card! The base of today’s card is Pear Pizzaz Card Stock and the background is a piece of paper from the Afternoon Picnic Designer Series Paper Pack. The two flags are Basic Gray and Coastal Cabana. For the main stamped image I used the Tea Party Stamp Set. I stamped the large image in Crushed Curry and Wisteria Wonder and cut them both out with the Ovals Collection Framelits Dies. The Wisteria one is then trimmed with my Paper Snips. The collection of teapot and cups is from the same set and I markered it with my Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Marker and then cut that out with my Paper Snips. Some Stampin’ Dimensionals hold them all to the card. The little tags are punched out with the “Vintage” Jewelry Tag Punch and the friends is from the “Vintage” Tiny Tags Stamp Set. To adhere them and the button I used some Multi-Purpose Glue. I really like the mix of all of the colors in the Afternoon Picnic DSP and I have to admit that markering and fussy cutting the teapot and cups was fun! Issues, I know! LOL! Thank you very much for stopping by to see my Design Team card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew Sketch challenge. Head on over to the blog and check out the rest of the design teams creations and enter you masterpiece in the gallery! Have a wonderful Wednesday! 🙂

Just Add Ink 184

What a lovely day it was yesterday! I had a nice ride into Manhattan, I did keep the top up, it was a little chilly in the morning. I went to see my friends and wandered around for a bit. Around 12:00 I headed back up town and met my friend Kim for brunch at the diner. I had a cheese omelet with baked beans, sort of an English breakfast. After, we went and sat in the park for a bit and I took a little nap. LOL! Napping in the park, what has become of me?! I did have the top down on the way home and it was bliss! When I got home I crafted for a while and then Taylor and I went to Panera for dinner. I had a free birthday treat so I got one of the red velvet cupcakes and it was delish! This morning I have to stop by the Hilton to make sure that they set up the table at the event correctly for work. FUN!

Before I get to today’s post I have some new product news! Stampin’ Up! has released a new card kit called Everyday Occasions. It contains enough card stock, envelopes and embellishments to make 20 cards. You can make birthday, thank you, congratulations, love and for you cards all you need to supply is adhesive and scissors! How great is that?!?! It also includes 7 clear mount stamps, a block and two Stampin’ Spots. The entire kit is only $29.95. You can see an overview of the kit below and click here for a PDF with more details and samples!

I was looking at the Just Add Ink challenge for this week and I saw that it asked for bows. Coincidentally I had just made a card for a friend Friday night that just happened to have a bow! Score! The base of the card is one of the cards from the Note Card & Envelopes Set. I stamped the greeting from the Lots of Thanks Stamp Set in Elegant Eggplant right on the card front. A piece of Champagne Glimmer Paper punched out with the 1 3/8″ Circle Punch makes a good anchor for the feathers that I cut out with the Ovals Collection Framelits Dies. The Cherry Cobbler and Crushed Curry card stock is scored with the Simply Scored and folded. A little snipping with my Paper Snips and unfolded they look like feathers. A Regals Designer Button with Some Linen Thread is adhered with some Mini Glue Dots on top and holds it all to the glimmer paper. A simple but fun card that would work for many different occasions with a quick change of the greeting. Thank you for stopping by to see my card for this week’s Just Add Ink challenge. I hope you had a great day yesterday and it continues on today! 🙂

Mojo 312

I really couldn’t be happier with the weather here this week. It has been just beautiful, perfect, lovely weather. Sunny and warm but not hot with a slight breeze, I wish it would stay like this all the time! It was another fun filled we have network issues day at work yesterday. Let’s hope that our so called IT department has it all straightened out today. The lack of internet access really impedes my progress! LOL! I’m pretty happy that it’s Thursday too! 🙂

For today’s post I have my Mojo Monday card for this week’s sketch from Julee Tilman…

As I looked at the sketch I thought hmm… this would be a good card for a spinner card and then I thought I have never made one of those before! Can you believe that?!?! My card starts off with a base of Old Olive Card Stock and a plain piece of Cherry Cobbler for the background. I used some Season of Style Designer Series Paper backed with some Old Olive for the base of my spinner. Using the Word Window Punch I punched out the slit. The greeting is from the Tags 4 You Stamp Set and is heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and punched out with the Label Bracket Punch. Some pennies and Stampin’ Dimensionals create the spinner on the back. A little Champagne Glimmer Paper cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies and some gold sequins complete the card. I have to admit that I played with card for quite a while when I finished it and I thought today’s more traditional colors were a nice opposite to yesterday’s very non-traditional ones! Thanks so much for coming by to see my Mojo Monday Sketch card for this week’s challenge. Enjoy your day peeps! 🙂

Paper Craft Crew 60

Wednesday already! This week is moving along at a nice pace! Work was loads of fun today as the network was down for most of the day which makes for a very non-productive time. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous here for the past couple of days and is supposed to stay like this through the weekend. On a happy note I finally finished the third Hunger Games book. I think I started reading it 8 months ago. My flight over the weekend prompted me to finish it and I have to say it was pretty good. I use to read all the time but there is just not enough time to in the day as it is and to add one more thing, well, you know how it goes!

Before we get to today’s post I wanted to let you know that Stampin’ Up! has released another Photopolymer Stamp Set just in time for Halloween called Bite Me. It has some great images and a really cool spider web. You can see the flyer below or click here for a PDF.

Now for today’s post that is for this week’s Paper Craft Crew Challenge. This week’s sketch has an interesting layout…

I decided on a Holiday card that is very non-tradiotional in it’s colors, so unlike me huh?! The base of the card is Pool Party Card Stock. For the background I used a piece of paper from the Season of Style Designer Series Paper Stack on top and a piece of Midnight Muse on the bottom. Before I adhered it to the base I used some Sticky Strip to adhere a piece of Midnight Muse 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon across the seam. The greeting is from the Joy to the World Stamp Set and is heat embossed in Pool Party Stampin’ Emboss Powder on Midnight muse and is backed with a piece of Pool Party. For the small ornaments I stamped two from the Very Merry Tags Stamp Set in Pool Party and punched them out with the Mosaic Punch. The large ornament is from the Christmas Collectibles Stamp Set, stamped in Pool Party and Punched out with the Christmas Ornament Punch. The very merry is punched out with the 7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch. All of the elements and greeting are adhered with Stampin’ DImensionals. Three Basic Jewels Rhinestones give the card a little sparkle and finish it off nicely. I really like the colors, they are a bit patriotic but fun for a Holiday card! Thanks very much for dropping by today to see my Paper Craft Crew Design Team card for this week’s sketch. Don’t forget to stop by the blog and see the other inspiration from the Design Team and enter yours in the gallery! Here’s to wishing you a fun filled Wednesday! 🙂

Paper Players 164

Well that four day weekend just flew by didn’t it. Thursday I was on a plane to Atlanta, Friday I was Zip-Lining, Saturday I was stamping with Brian and Sunday another plane and then a trip into Manhattan and a lovely belated birthday dinner with my friend Kim. It was so jam packed with fun that’s probably why it went so quickly! I really did have an amazing weekend, a HUGE thank you to everyone that made it possible! 🙂

Today I have my card for this week’s Paper Players challenge. This time we have a sketch from the lovely and talented Sandy…

After I made my anniversary card for my parents I used the Typeset Alphabet to cut out some excess rubber from a stamp set in an ampersand, that’s where today’s ampersand comes from. The base of the card is Baked Brown Sugar Card Stock. The background is made from two pieces of Etcetera Designer Series Paper. I used the Needlepoint Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and some Night of Navy to cover the seam down the middle. A piece of Old Olive is cut out withe the Adorning Accents Edgelits Dies and some Basic Jewels Pearls are added in the center of each one. Some Calypso Coral, cut out with the 2 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch and a piece of Pool Party, stamped in Night of Navy with the Ampersand are adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the background. A Brights Designer Button with some Linen Thread is adhered to the ampersand with a Mini Glue Dot. The greeting is form the A Dozen Thoughts Stamp Set and is also stamped in Night of Navy. I really love the colors in the Etcetera DSP and the ampersand is pretty cool too! Thank you for stopping by to see my second Stamped with Brian card for this week’s Paper Players sketch challenge from Sandy. I hope you enjoyed the card and your Monday! 🙂

Happy Anniversary Mum & Dad!

Hello from rainy Atlanta! It rained most of the day yesterday which made it a good day to spend some quality time in the Fungeon! We did go out of a nice breakfast and then Brian suggested a Thai restaurant for dinner called Annie’s for and it was delicious! I’m having a very nice time and not looking forward to going home already this morning, it’s been too quick!

On a happy note yesterday was my parents anniversary. I wanted a fun and different card so this is what I came up with. The base of the card is Very Vanilla Card Stock and I used the Envelope Punch Board to round the corners. I cut a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe out with the Ovals Collection Framelits Dies and pierced the edge with the Occasions Paper-Piercing Pack. I cut another oval out in Very Vanilla and used my Stamp-a-ma-jig and the Amazing Family Stamp Set to stamp the words in Soft Sky, Pool Party, Costal Cabana, Bermuda Bay and Island Indigo. The greeting is from the Express Yourself Host(ess) Stamp Set, I used my Crisp Cantaloupe Stampin’ Write Marker to marker the stamp and split the greeting. I then used the Typeset Alphabet Bigz Dies to cut out the ampersand from Crisp Cantaloupe and adhered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals. A few scattered Basic Jewels Rhinestones complete the card. I like the graduation of the blues paired with the Crisp Cantaloupe and a little bling makes everything better! Thanks so much for stopping by to see my card for today. Have a good Sunday and I’ll see you tomorrow for my Paper Players card! 🙂

Fab Friday and a Fabulous Friday!

Hello my friends! How are you? I am fantastic! As you know I took a little trip on Thursday night. I was a somewhat evasive about my destination, just for a little fun. My trip took me on a Delta flight to Atlanta, GA. I came to visit an amazing friend of mine… Mr. Brian King! We spent the morning yesterday at Historic Banning Mills doing the canopy tour. We had a great time on the ZIp-Line tour, flying high above the trees (about 300 feet!). After some lunch we came back and spent some time in the Fungeon! Below are some pictures from the Zip-Line Tour…

Me and Brian!

There I am!

There’s Brian!

The view from the top!

Brian and me with our amazing and funny guides Ross and Tate!

I had an amazing day with my awesome friend, definitely a Fab Friday! Which brings me to today’s post which is for this week’s Fab Friday…

Do you see what I see… a window! The base of my card is Real Red Card Stock. I took a piece of Crumb Cake and used my Squares Collection Framelits Dies to cut out the window. The “scene” through the window is created using the Lovely as a Tree Stamp Set stamped in Soft Suede. I inked the stamp once and stamped it four times to give it some depth. Some Stampin’ Dimensional pieces adhere the window to the trees. The Wonderful Wreath Stamp is stamped in Always Artichoke and cut out with my Paper Snips. Yes, I have cut that wreath out a lot! I used my Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker to color in the berries and a piece of “Vintage” Real Red 5/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon “tied” in a bow completes the wreath. The greeting is from the Joy to the World Stamp Set and is stamped in Always Artichoke and backed with a piece of Crumb Cake. I ticked the corners before I adhered them together. You can never have enough Christmas cards and I have a pretty good stash going already! Go and take a look at the Fab Friday Blog and see what fun creations my teammates have come up with. Thank you very much for stopping by to see my Fab Friday Design Team card and sharing in my fun adventures with Brian. Have a great Saturday! 🙂

Control Freaks September Blog Tour

Hello everyone and welcome to the September Control Freaks Blog Tour Featuring Halloween Projects! I’m on a plane at the moment on my way to see a very good friend. Nothing like posting from 30,000 feet! If you are following the tour you should have arrived here from my good friend and very talented stamper Sandy Mathis’ blog. Her projects were just amazing weren’t they?!?! I have two fun and different projects for you this month. A nifty Halloween Wreath and a fun Halloween clock! Yes… a clock!

First up I have my Wreath. I was in a store the other day and I saw this pre-packaged halloween wreath and I thought well I can make that with my Stampin’ Up! goodies so that’s exactly what I did! For the backing of the wreath I cut out a piece of Basic Black Card Stock with my Circles Collection Framelits Dies. The cones are made from 12 sheets of Witches’ Brew Designer Series Paper cut in 4″ x 4″ squares. Out came the hot glue gun and after about two full sticks my cones were assembled and glued to the base. The center of the wreath is a piece of Basic Gray, again cut out with the Circles Framelits, and a rosette made from some more Witches’ Brew DSP. A piece of Summer Starfruit cut out with the Labels Collection Framelits Dies and pierced with the Festive Paper-Piercing Pack is the backing for the stamps. Both of the stamps are from the Halloween Bash Stamp Set, the Pumpkin Pie one is cut out with the Decorative Label Punch and the Basic Black one with the Scallop Oval Punch. They are all adhered to one another with Stampin’ Dimensionals. A pretty neat take on a wreath that you can make larger just by changing the dimensions of your squares!

My second project is a really fun one. I was inspired when I was meandering through one of the local craft stores and happened down the clock aisle. I thought wouldn’t it be fun to make a Halloween clock?! For the base of the clock I used my Circles Collection Framelits to cut out a piece of Coaster Board and a piece of Witches’ Brew Designer Series Paper. I glued them to each other using Multi-Purpose glue and used my Paper Snips to make the hole in the middle for the movement to go through. The numbers are from the ABC-123 Sketch Alphabet & Numbers Stamp Set and are stamped in Pumpkin Pie and punched out with the 7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch. All of the other stamped images and greeting are from the Halloween Hello Stamp Set and are stamped in Pumpkin Pie too. I used my Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Write Markers to color in the candy corn and adhered everything to the clock face with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I really love the way the greeting spins around the center and the candy makes it’s way around the clock face too!

So what do you think?!?! A little different and fun huh?! I really hope that you enjoyed my projects for this month’s Control Freaks Blog Tour featuring Halloween Projects. Now you are off to see the talented Connie Babbert’s projects. She always has some fun ideas! Thank you for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the tour! 🙂

Paper Craft Crew 59

Hello peeps! How are you all doing today? I’m good because it’s Wednesday and tomorrow is my Friday! It was chilly here yesterday, only got up to 68 degrees. They say we are to be back in the 80’s by the weekend so just a little taste of what’s to come weather wise. I have lot’s to do before my departure so I will be a busy boy this evening!

Wednesday also means that it’s time for this week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge…

I inked up a new set for this one! The base of my card is Cherry Cobbler Card Stock. For the background on both the large square on top and the small squares along the bottom I used some Brushed Gold. The pretty poinsettia is from the Joyful Christmas Stamp Set and is stamped in Cherry Cobbler on Cherry Cobbler. The leaves are stamped in Pear Pizzaz on Pear Pizzaz and the little dots in the center are punched out with the Cupcake Builder Punch. The ribbon is Pear Pizzaz 3/8″ Taffeta Ribbon with a Antique Brad on the left. The joy is stamped in Cherry Cobbler from the A Banner Christmas Stamp Set and cut out with my Paper Snips. I really love the Brushed Gold with the Cherry Cobbler, it gives the card a rich look and I don’t think I have actually used the Cupcake Builder Punch to make a cupcake in a while! I hope that you enjoyed my Paper Craft Crew Design Team card for this week’s sketch challenge. Make sure to go over to the blog to see my fellow design team’s cards and enter your one in the gallery. Thank you for visiting and have a good day my friends! 🙂

Mojo 311

Happy Tuesday! I forgot that I have a four day week this week because I’m going on a little trip on Thursday night. I’ll tell you more about it on Friday! I’m quite excited about it! It is definitely feeling fall like here, windy and rainy yesterday morning but it cleared up in the afternoon and it’s 48 degrees this morning. Lot’s of catch up before I leave too. So much to do and so little time, isn’t that how it always works?!?!

Today I have my card for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge and the sketch this week is provided by Julee Tilman…

I just received this month’s Paper Pumpkin in the mail today and I love it as always. I was inspired by the card and decided to used the stamps and the color ink pad today. The base of my card is Crumb Cake Card Stock. A piece of Epic Day This & That Designer Series Paper with a piece of Midnight Muse that I punched with the Scallop Edge Border Punch along with a strip and a circle of Silver Glimmer Paper creates the backdrop. The greeting is stamped on a piece of Whisper White that I punched along the top with the Envelope Punch Board to create the file folder look. A strip of Pool Party and a piece of 1/8″ Silver Ribbon goes across the bottom. I used the Chevron Border Punch to punch out some Midnight Muse for the three chevrons on the left. I really do think that the Paper Pumpkin Kits are fun and I love all of the stamps that come with them. I hope you enjoyed my card for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge and thank you for coming by. Have a terrific Tuesday! 🙂
