Mojo 279

Hello there! One day down, four more to go! How was your Monday? Mine was actually pretty good. I had techniques class last night and we always have a great time. I have to say that if I could craft all day I would be the happiest person on the planet! Steve Jobs once said that “Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.” I have definitely found what I want to do!!

Tuesday means it’s time for this week’s Mojo Monday post. Julee Tilman has provided us with a nice sketch this week…

I have some more Valentine’s cards to make so I thought this would be a great sketch for that. I used my favorite stamp set, that unfortunately didn’t carry over, Affection Collection. My card starts off with a base of Very Vanilla Card Stock. The background is created with a piece of Pool Party embossed with the Cloudy Day Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. For the square of Primrose Petals on top of that I used the Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card with SNAIL. The piece of paper is from the More Amore Specialty Designer Series Paper Pack and is adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. A thin piece of Basic Gray is embossed with the Needlepoint Border Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The greeting and the image behind the greeting are from the Affection Collection Stamp Set (Vintage). I stamped the scalloped image in Pool Party and cut it out with my Paper Snips. The love is stamped in Primrose Petals and punched out with the Scallop Oval Punch and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. A button from the Sycamore Street Ribbon and Button Pack has some Pool Party Bakers Twine threaded through and is adhered with a Mini Glue Dot. I love the way that all of the elements of the card go together and the Pool Party/Primrose Petals color combo with the slivers of Basic Gray is just great. I hope that you enjoyed my Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card for this week. I really appreciate your visit and hope to see you back soon! Have a lovely day!

Fab Friday Sketch 11

Hey there! It’s Saturday and I’m off to Manhattan this morning. I think I’m driving in so there will be no reading on the train today. It is bitterly cold here and quite windy. I went to dinner with Danielle, Anthony and Bill last night to Applebee’s. They have a Southwest Chopped Chicken Salad that is quite good. How are all of you doing today?

Before we get to today’s card did you see the cool little promotion that Stampin’ Up! has from now until April 30th? I have been wanting an airplane stamp for a while and wouldn’t you know it there is one in the new set! I really like the Designer Series Paper in it too. You can get a bundle of the Sent With Love Clear Mount Stamp Set, Sent with Love Designer Series Paper and a package of Calypso Coral Bakers Twine for only $25.50. That 20% off the price if you buy them separately. You can click on the flyer below to download a PDF to take a closer look.

The Best of 25 Years Stamp Set is also available. For February it’s the Best of Love with some nice Valentine images from past sets and one new one…

Now on to the post! Today’s card is for the Fab Friday Challenge. This time we have a sketch…

It was funny that when I saw it I thought that I would use one of these little paper bags that I picked up from the craft store. The base of my card is Daffodil Delight Card Stock. Down the middle is a piece of Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper. On top of that is the little paper bag that I stamped with the Sunshine Clear Mount Single Stamp in Tangerine Tango. The sun over the “o” is a piece of Tangerine Tango that I punched out with the 7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch. I put it back in and punched it again to get the “pinked” edge. In the middle is a piece of Daffodil Delight that I punched out with the 1/2″ Circle Punch. For the banner across the bottom I flagged the ends of a piece of Tangerine Tango and stamped an image from the Madison Avenue Stamp Set in Tangerine Tango. The best part is that you can put a gift card or a little note inside the paper bag! I hope that you enjoyed my card for the Fab Friday Sketch challenge. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day! 🙂

Create with Connie and Mary 237

Woo hoo… it’s Friday! The end of another work week and the start of the glorious weekend! Do you all have some good stuff planned for this weekend? I’m off to Manhattan on Saturday morning and then I plan to have a relaxing day on Sunday. There is always so much to do and just not enough time to do it all. If I could give up sleep I gladly would! I could get so much more done!

Today’s post is for this weeks Create with Connie and Mary. This week we have a sketch challenge from the ladies…

A nice clean layout with some great possibilities. The base of my card is Whisper White Card Stock. For the background I embossed a piece of Midnight Muse with the Perfect Polkadots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Before I adhered it to the card with SNAIL I used some Sticky Strip on the ends of the Pool Party ribbon from the Sycamore Street Ribbon and Button Pack to hold it in place. The panels are Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper and are cut out with the Scallop Rectangle Clearlit. I used my Stampin’ Trimmer to cut 1/3 off of each one and adhered them to the background with SNAIL. The fun little whale is form the Oh, Whale! Stamp Set and is stamped in Midnight Muse and cut out with the Happy Whale Clearlit. I mounted him to the card with some Stampin’ Dimensionals and used the same to adhere the greeting that is from the same stamp set and is stamped in Pool Party. I punched it out with the Word Window punch, it fits just perfectly! I really like the Pool Party and Midnight Muse together and the whale really is cute. I hope that you like my Create with Connie and Mary challenge card for this week. Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a fantastic Friday!

Freshly Made Sketches #71

Hello peeps! What’s going on in your neck of the woods? Same old same old here on Long Island. But the week is almost over, time seems to moving along at a rapid pace. I can’t believe that we are at the end of January already! Ahh… but before you know it it will be spring! I like the fact it stays light past 5 o’clock now. More daylight always means more happy!

So today I have my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches. But before I get to that I want to thank one of the amazing Demonstrator Support Reps from Stampin’ Up! Last week I email Demo Support because I wanted to know exactly how they made one of the cards they demoed at Leadership. I thought it was strange that I had not heard back, they usually get back to you within two days. Well, I got an email from Pam today with the instructions and an apology for the delay. Thank you very much Pam! You made my evening. I’m thanking Pam in the hopes that she sees this because there is no way for us to email the same rep back so, today’s card is for Pam. 🙂

This week’s sketch is provided by the clever Linda C….

I love that fact that it has a tag on it. I haven’t done anything with a tag in a long time. The base of my card is Sahara Sand Card Stock. It is definitely my new Crumb Cake. I love the grayish sand color! The background is made with a piece of Island Indigo embossed with the Vine Street Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I created the tag using my Simply Scored Tool. I cut a piece of Sahara Sand to 1 3/4″ x 2 3/4″ and used the Diagonal Plate to score the corners and then cut the off with my Stampin’ Trimmer. The reinforcement at the top is punched first with a regular hole punch and then with the 1/2″ Circle Punch. I used a stamp from the Beyond Plaid Stamp Set inked in Sahara Sand to give the tag some texture. The feathers (my question to DS) are made from Creped Filter Paper and the Blossom Builder Punch. I sponged them in Island Indigo and adhered a piece of Whisper White Bakers Twine on the back and used my Paper Snips to cut in at an angle along the edges. They make some really nice looking feathers! They are adhered to the tag with Multipurpose Glue. The flower is from the Madison Avenue Stamp Set and is stamped in Island Indigo on Sahara Sand and cut out with the Floral Frames Collection Framelits Dies. I backed it with a piece of Island Indigo punched out with the 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle Punch and a piece of Sahara Sand punched out with the 1 3/8″ Circle Punch. An In-Color Printed Brad holds it together and the flower and the tag are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. For the greeting I stamped a piece of Sahara Sand with the vine from the Madison Avenue Stamp Set in Sahara Sand and then stamped the greeting form the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set in Island Indigo. A flagged end and some SNAIL and the card is complete. I hope that you enjoyed my Freshly Made Sketches card for this week’s challenge. Thank you for taking some time out of your busy day to visit, I always love having you stop by! Have a fantastic day!

Paper Craft Crew Sketch 027

Wednesday! Halfway to Friday! So, I have decided to stop obsessing about the weather. I will say one last time that I am looking forward to spring. Yesterday was an early to work day. I’m feeling a bit sluggish today, 5 hours of sleep is apparently not enough for me. I’ll have to see if I can catch up later, probably not! How are all of you today? I am having a quiet week so no complaints on my end. 🙂

For today’s post I have my Paper Craft Crew card. This week we have a sketch…

I’m really liking the colors in the Sycamore Street DSP from Sale-A-Bration so there is little strip on my card again! The base of today’s card is a piece of Island Indigo Card Stock. Some Sahara Sand is embossed with the Cloudy Day Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for the background. I stamped the greeting and the umbrella handle on a piece of Whisper White. The greeting in Tangerine Tango and the umbrella handle in Soft Suede. The top of the umbrella is stamped in Island Indigo and cut out with my Paper Snips. I curved it and mounted it to the greeting panel with a Stampin’ Dimensional. All of these elements are from the Rain or Shine Stamp Set. A strip of Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper goes across the top and on top of that is a piece of Pool Party that I embossed with the Needlepoint Border Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The image inside the Soda Pop Top is form the Spring Sampler Stamp Set and is stamped in Tangerine Tango and punched out with the 1″ Circle Punch. I choose a Tangerine Tango Button from the Sycamore Street Ribbon & Button Pack and put a thin piece of Pool Party through it for the “thread”. Both the Soda Pop Top and the button are adhered to the card with Mini Glue Dots. I really do like this card a lot, I’m usually my worst critic, but this one I like! I hope that you like it too. Thank you for looking at my Paper Craft Crew Design Team card for this week’s sketch challenge. I hope that you enjoy your day… Rain or Shine!

Mojo 278

Good morning peeps! How is everything on your end? Things are good here, other than it snowed, hailed, sleeted then rained here yesterday. We got every form of winter precipitation in one day. It’s supposed to be party sunny here today and go up to 50 on Wednesday with some rain. By the weekend it’s going to be in the 20’s again. Crazy weather! I sound like I am a little obsessed with the weather don’t I?! LOL!

Today my post is for Mojo Monday. This week’s sketch has been provided by Julee Tilman…

It’s got some more layers than we have had in previous weeks, a good excuse to bust out a lot of product! The base of my card is Rich Razzleberry Card Stock. I used a piece of paper from the Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper Pack for the background. Before I adhered it to the card I used some Sticky Strip to hold a piece of Pool Party 1/2″ Seam Binding Ribbon in place. The next layer is a piece of Rich Razzleberry that I embossed with the Fancy Fan Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. For the main piece I stamped the images form the Best of Birthday’s 25th Anniversary Set in Rich Razzleberry. I cut one of the presents out with my Paper Snips and adhered it with a Stampin’ Dimensional. The backing is a piece of Pool Party and the flags on the bottom are cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies and Stamped with an image from the Summer Silhouettes Stamp Set in Pool Party. I adhered it to the card with some more Stampin’ Dimensionals. A piece of Pool Party is punched out with the 1 3/4″ Scalloped Circle Punch and embossed with the Perfect Polkadots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Some Summer Starfruit is punched out with the 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle Punch and adhered with a Stampin’ Dimensional to the Pool Party scallop circle. The image is from the Ciao, Baby! Stamp Set and is stamped in Rich Razzleberry and punched out with the 7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch. I really like the way the scallop circles all layer so nicely together and the color combination is neat too. I hope that you enjoyed this week’s card for the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge and thank you, as always, for stopping by. Have an amazing day! 🙂

Create with Connie and Mary 236

T G I F! Thank god it’s FRIDAY! I am so ready for this week to done! It is still freezing here, the overnight low was 12 degrees and tomorrow they are saying a chance of snow. I’m still hoping they are wrong! I believe that snow should be reserved for ski resorts not metropolitan areas! I had my SU! meeting last night and it was fun as always. I love seeing everyone and getting the swaps which were really neat! I’ll post my swap card soon and the ones that I got too! Are we ready for the weekend?? I sure am!

Friday also means that it’s time for this week’s Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This week the ladies have given us a color challenge…

Funnily enough when I first looked at the colors I envisioned holiday, must be the cold weather! A second glance and some advice from a friend helped me think flowers. The base of the card is Pretty in Pink Card Stock. The background is a piece of Very Vanilla and I stamped the greeting from the Wacky Wishes Host(ess) Stamp Set and the stem in Lucky Limeade. The flower is one of the new single stamps called Boutique Blossom. I stamped it in Raspberry Ripple and cut it out with my Paper Snips. The butterflies are from the Bloomin’ Marvelous Stamp Set and are also stamped in Raspberry Ripple. I used the Bitty Butterfly Punch to punch them out. Some Stampin’ Dimensionals hold them and the flower to the card. I like the simplicity and the large flower is great. I hope that you enjoyed my Create with Connie and Mary Challenge card for this week. Thank you very much for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful FRIDAY!

Freshly Made Sketches #70

Hello and welcome to Thursday! It is bitterly cold here and I think it’s just about time that we had a warm up! I don’t think I have been able to go outside without gloves on for three days now. I will say one thing for the cold, poor little Winston doesn’t dawdle outside, he does his business and back in he comes. I feel bad and want to get him some boots but I tried that once and he wasn’t a fan! He would take a step and shake his paw, another step another shake and on and on. Poor Mr. Winston!

Anyway, enough about my little buddy and on to today’s post which is for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches Challenge. This time around we have a simple sketch from Rita…

When I saw the sketch I immediately wanted to use a butterfly. I love butterflies and I’m not ashamed to admit it. Does it make me less of a man… possibly. LOL! I guess that’s maybe why my card turned out so masculine today. The base is a piece of Crumb Cake Card Stock. A piece of paper from the Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack is on the left side. For the main image I stamped the ferris wheel from the Feeling Sentimental Stamp Set** in Midnight Muse and punched it out with the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch. I backed it with a piece of Midnight Muse that I cut out with the 3″ Bigz Circle Die. For some interest I pierced around the edge using the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool. Some Stampin’ Dimensionals hold it in place. The greeting is from the same set also stamped in Midnight Muse. I flagged the right side and adhered it to the card with some SNAIL. This is a nice and simple card but the DSP it gives it a little oomph. A quick greeting change would make it good for almost any occasion. I hope that you enjoyed my Freshly Made Sketches Challenge card for this week. I really do appreciate you taking some time to visit and I love reading your comments! I hope that it is warmer where you are and that you have a nice day! 🙂

Paper Craft Crew Sketch & Color Challenge #26

Well here we are at Wednesday again! Halfway there! It is bitterly cold here on Long Island. I think the high temperature yesterday was 21 degrees and it’s 10 degrees now! The little bit of snow that we had still is there in some places. They say we are supposed to get more snow on Friday, I hope they are wrong. Did you make your lists and place your Sale-A-Bration orders yesterday? I really think that items they have tis year are among the best they have had in a while. I’m having so much fun playing with my goodies!

Now on to today’s post which is my Design Team card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew Challenge. This week we have a sketch and color challenge…

And the colors are Daffodil Delight, Bashful Blue and Pretty in Pink. I will admit that I struggled a little with the colors. I finally settled upon a Valentine for my card. The base of the card is Pretty in Pink Card Stock. I stamped a piece of Bashful Blue with the Distressed Dots Background Stamp in Bashful Blue. The strip of paper down the length of the right side is Floral District Designer Series Paper and there is a piece of Daffodil Delight next to it. The main panel consists of a piece of Pretty in Pink and Bashful Blue that I cut out with the Hearts Collection Framelits Dies. The pink one is pierced around the edge using the Occasions Paper-Piercing Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool. I used the Perfect Polkadots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on the blue piece. The stamped image is the Happy Heart Single Stamp that is stamped in Pretty in Pink and punched out with the Full Heart Punch. They are mounted to each other and the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. A piece of Bashful Blue, also embossed with the polkadots, is cut out with the Petite Curly Label Punch**. On top of that is a piece of Pretty in Pink that I punched out with the Small Heart Punch. I used the Heart to Heart Punch (Vintage) and the Owl Builder Punch to punch out some Silver Glimmer Paper to give it a little sparkle. I actually like the card and it reminds me of candy for some reason. I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team Card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew Sketch & Color Challenge. Please stop by the blog to see what the other designers have come up with and enter a card of your own. Thank you so much for visiting with me today and I hope the rest of your day is great!

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…

Nice and simple, just two little panels! The base of my card is Very Vanilla Card Stock. The background is a piece of paper from the Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack that I mounted to a piece of Very Vanilla so I could adhere the Primrose Petals 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon around the back with some Sticky Strip. The panel to the left is a piece of Very Vanilla that I stamped in Primrose Petals from the Vintage Verses Stamp Set**. The panel to the right contains another piece from the Print Poetry Stack. Across the bottom is another piece of Very Vanilla with some Basic Jewels Rhinestones. The flower is one from our 5/8″ Flower Trim. Jen from Stamped Silly had a tutorial on an easy way to dye them any color you want. I followed her easy instructions and tada! You can check out her tutorial here. For the leaves I punched out two pieces of Gumball Green with the Blossom Builder Punch. Both panels are backed with Summer Starfruit and adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I really like the colors in the DSP and the Flower Trim is kind of neat too! I hope that you enjoyed my Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card for this week. Thank you so much for visiting and I hope that you all have an awesome day! 🙂
