Paper Craft Crew #37

Hello and thank you for stopping by today to see what I’m up to! It was absolutely gorgeous here on Long Island today, we reached 82 degrees! It is just a taste because tomorrow is supposed to be 72 and then back into the 50’s for a while. Myself and some friends went over to another friends for dinner last night. We had steak marinated in soy sauce, pineapple, ginger and brown sugar. I’m not a huge steak fan but it was delicious. After dinner Heather and I went to RedMango for some treats. They have a dark chocolate flavor that is thick and tasted like brownie batter, it was yummy! I can’t wait for the warm weather to be here for good!

Stampin’ Up! released a new Photopolymer Stamp Set today called Birthday Bombs Away! There are some great greeting and they will work well for any type of card. You can see them below or click here for a PDF of the flyer.

Mojo 288

Hey there! How was Monday? Mine was, well to be kind, not my favorite. Work is extremely busy and it doesn’t show any signs of letting up. I am so happy when I come home and sit down at the craft desk. I get to forget about all of the misery of the day and focus on being creative. It’s the perfect end to a hectic day. When do you do your crafting? I also like to rummage through my supplies from time to time. When I do I inevitably find something that I completely forgot about. Last night was no exception. In amongst the Designer Series Paper was my Boutique Boxes Designer Kit. I think I need to spend a little time going through more and finding little surprises!

Today’s card – Mojo Monday 288 – Sketch Challenge from Sarah Bigelow…

The card base is Basic Gray and the background is Sahara Sand embossed with the Chevron Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. All of the elements are from the Boutique Boxes Designer Kit except the Epic Day This and That Designer Washi Tape. The greeting is from the coordinating A Little Greeting Stamp Set and is stamped in Basic Gray. I really am digging the feathers and the Washi Tape! I hope you enjoyed my Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card. Thanks for visiting, you guys rock! Have a super day! 🙂

Pals Paper Arts 156

Monday… I much prefer sunday to you! How was everyones weekend? Mine was good, car show Saturday, finished the Christening Invites yesterday, had some dinner with Heather and saw the wee ones and the child. All in all not a bad weekend at all. It was quite windy here yesterday too, I really do wish that spring would hurry up and get here. Today, I’m going to try something a little different. Rather than bore you with the step by step walk through of how I make the card I’m just going to highlight bits and give you the supply list at the end. You, of course, can tell me that you don’t enjoy it and I’ll go back to the old way. So here we go!

Today’s card – Pals Paper Arts 156 – Color Challenge. Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue and Marina Mist…

The card base is Whisper white and the background is Crumb Cake embossed with the Honeycomb Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The flowers and the butterflies nicely offset the flagged banners at the top. The greeting is from Lacy and Lovely and is stamped in Crumb Cake. Honeycomb, tags and cork, my current obsessions!

Thanks for checking in, have a great day!!

Paper Players #140 :-)

Wow! Sunday already, Saturday just flew by. I did have a very nice time at the auto show in Manhattan yesterday. The highlight was seeing the RollsRoyce Wraith, isn’t that a cool name for a car?! It was gorgeous! The traffic in the city yesterday was insane, but it was a Saturday and it was a pretty nice day. What were all of you up to yesterday?

Sunday means it’s time for this week’s Paper Players challenge! This week the fabulous Nance has a theme challenge for you…

What a fun idea to go green with some recycling on a card! I thought about it for a while and I finally settled on some jeans. The base of my card is Midnight Muse Card Stock. For the background I embossed a piece of Crumb Cake with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I always use it no tabs when I emboss with the Woodgrain Folder so it doesn’t tear the card stock. The tag is made from a piece of Summer Starfruit, the Simply Scored Diagonal Plate supplies the corners for the tag and a standard hole punch makes the hole at the top. I used a piece of Midnight Muse 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon to thread through the top of the tag. The greeting is from the Make a Wish Stamp Set and is stamped in Midnight Muse. For the flower I used the Blossom Party Bigz Die and some old jeans from the Gap. I really like the way that the inside has the contrasting “crumb cake” look. A retired Brad from last year’s Sale-A-Bration holds it together and some Multipurpose Glue holds it to the tag. Some butterflies are stamped with the Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set in Midnight Muse on Very Vanilla and punched out with the Bitty Butterfly Punch. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to hold them in place. I really like using natural materials on cards and the jeans are pretty neat for the flower! I hope that you enjoyed my Paper Players Guest Designer Card for this week’s challenge. Be sure to stop by the Paper Players blog to see what my fellow designers have in store for you and I can’t wait to see what you come up with! Thank you for checking in with me today, enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Stylin’ Stampin’ Blog Tour March 2013

Hello kiddies! How are we today? I’m good but yesterday was a very long day! I’m glad that it’s over and the weekend is almost here. It was still cold and windy here all day today but they say warmer temperatures are ahead! Looking forward to those!

Today is the March Stylin’ Stampin’ Squad Blog Tour. If you are following the tour then you have arrived here from Kim R.’s Stamping with Kim blog. Didn’t she have some great projects?! The theme for this month’s projects is Wedding and Anniversary. I have a wedding and a christening card for you today.

First up is the wedding card. I wanted a very simple but eye catching card. The base of my card is Basic Black Card Stock. The background is a piece of Whisper White and on top of that is a piece of Basic Gray that I embossed with the Chevron Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The middle is created by cutting out a piece of Silver Glimmer Paper using two dies from the Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies. I then stamped a piece of Window Sheet with the Mr. & Mrs. Single Stamp in Opaque White Staz-On. Some SNAIL holds it behind the glimmer piece. Then I cut a piece of Basic Black to fit behind and adhered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals and then some SNAIL holds it in place. I really like the white ink with the silver and black behind it. It gives the card a nice elegant feel, and who doesn’t like a little sparkle!

My second card is one that I made for my friend Kim’s daughter Savannah’s upcoming Christening. I made 40 of these. When I mass produce a card I cut all of the pieces and then assemble them. The last thing I do is use MDS to print the insides. The base of the card is Naturals White Card Stock. For the background I used a piece of So Saffron, just pain. Next up we have a Tea Lace Paper Doily and on top of that is a piece of Pink Pirouette that I flagged the ends on with my Paper Snips. The greeting is from the My Special Day Stamp Set and is stamped in Chocolate Chip on a piece of Whisper White that I cut out with the Labels Collection Framelits Dies. The “Christening” is also stamped in Chcocolate Chip on So Saffron and cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies. Some Stampin’ Dimensionals adhere it to the card. The 5/8″ Flower Trim is backed by a piece of Pink Pirouette that I punched out with the 7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch. They are adhered to each other and the card with Mini Glue Dots. You can see in the second picture all of the pieces waiting to be put together. I tried to keep it simple but I still made 80 passes though the Big Shot and the ends were all flagged with my Paper Snips!

I hope that you enjoyed my projects for this month’s Stylin’ Stampin’ Squad Blog Tour. Next up is Jennifer B. of N.W. Stamper, I’m sure you’ll love her projects! Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day!

Paper Craft Crew #36

Well this week is moving right along! How is it going for you? Work is insanely busy for me and has been for a while. hopefully things will slow down soon. Today I am working from 8:30am until 11:00pm, that’s a long day! The weather was chilly and windy here again yesterday, it’s supposed to be cold until Thursday and then it’s supposed to finally warm up. Spring, not so far around here!

Today’ post is for this week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge. This week we have a nice sketch with the possibility for some layers…

I have been really into Pool Party lately, it is definitely one of my favorite colors. It works great as a neutral and looks nice with so many different colors or can easily stand on it’s own. For the base of my card I used Very Vanilla Card Stock. The background is a piece of Pool Party that is embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The paper in the middle is from the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper Pack. A piece of Silver Glimmer Paper is on the left and I punched a piece of Pool Party with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack with a Basic Jewel Pearl in the middle for the little flower. The main panel is a piece of Pool Party that I embossed with the Delicate Designs Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and backed it with a piece of Basic Gray. For the stamped image I choose one from the Circle Circus Stamp Set and stamped it in Pool Party and punched it out with the 1 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch. It’s mounted to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals and I put a Basic Jewels Pearl in the center. The greeting is from the Sweet Essentials Stamp Set and is stamped in Pool Party. I use the Decorative Label Punch to punch it out and adhered it to the card under the main panel with some SNAIL. Three more pearls are adhered under the DSP on the left to finish off the card. I really love the colors and the glimmer paper gives it just the right amount of sparkle. I hope that you enjoyed my Paper Craft Crew Design Team card for this week’s sketch challenge. Check out the other design team projects over at the blog and upload one of your cards for me to see. Thank you for taking some time to see what I’m up to and I hope you have a lovely day!

Mojo 287

Hello and good day to you all! I hope that your Monday was good. Mine, busy and that’s all I’ll say! I got my This and That Epic Day Bundle yesterday. I also wanted to let you know that the April Best of Stamp Set is available and it’s my mum’s favorite… Best of Butterflies. The image below shows the stamps and you can click here for a PDF. Are you collecting all of the Best of 25 Stamp Sets, I am!

It’s Tuesday and that means that it’s time for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. This time around we have an interesting sketch from Julee Tilman…

Since I got my This and That Bundle today I had to play! The base of the card is Crumb Cake Card Stock. The background is a piece of Pool Party that I stamped with the Netting Background Stamp in Crumb Cake and then sponged some Crumb Cake over it. The Tea Lace Paper Doily is spritzed with some Early Espresso Ink from my Stampin’ Spritzer and some more Crumb Cake is sponged on too. A piece of Calypso Coral is cut out with the Petal Cone Bigz L Die and yes, sponged with still more Crumb Cake. The two pieces of paper are form the This and That Epic Day Designer Series Paper Pack. I backed both of them with some Very Vanilla to make them a little more sturdy. I do that when I am using Stampin’ Dimensionals to mount DSP to a card. On the top piece I rounded the corners with the 3/16″ Corner Rounder. Three 3/16″ Metallic Brads are in the upper left corner. I used the new Remember This and That Rotary Stamp to stamp the date on the bottom in Basic Gray. The stamped image is form the A Round Array Stamp Set and is stamped in Pool Party, punched out with the 7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch, and yes, sponged with more Crumb Cake. I punched a piece of Crumb Cake with the 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle Punch to back it. The Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool supply the pierced edge. They are mounted to each other and to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals and also hold the piece of Calypso Coral that is cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies and, well you know! I really do love the new This and That products, they have some great colors and fun distressed looks to them. I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. Thanks for dropping by and have a nice day! 🙂

SplitCoast Creative Crew April Challenges

Another speedy weekend and back to Monday we go. I did have a very nice weekend. Saturday night I went to see my friend Andrew’s Acapella group perform and they won! After that my friend Heather and I went to John’s Pizzeria in the Theater District for a very late dinner. I will tell you that the pizza is amazing! If you are ever in Manhattan put that on your list of places you must go to eat! Yesterday I worked on the Christening invites, everything is cut and stamped I just have to assemble them. A very busy but productive weekend! I hope that you had a good weekend and some family time on Easter Sunday.

Today I have my post for this month’s SplitCoast Creative Crew Challenges. This is my last month as a guest designer with them and I have to say it has been a lot of fun. A very nice group with some really good challenges, I enjoyed every one of them. Today I have three cards for you, all very different. One modern one, a semi-vintage one and a nice manly one!

The first card is for the DSP/Color Focus. They ask: It’s almost time to say goodbye to the 2011 In Colors. This month, show us the beauty of Island Indigo, Calypso Coral, Wisteria Wonder, Lucky Limeade and Pool Party! To challenge yourself, focus on your least favorite of these colors. I didn’t focus on my least favorite colors because I actually like all of the 2011-2013 In-Colors and will miss the ones that are going away. I did decide to go very modern and simple with my card though. The base is Basic Gray Card Stock that I cut to 8 1/2″ x 4 3/4″ and folded. The panels are Calypso Coral and Pool Party. I stamped the images in the same colors from the Beyond Plaid Stamp Set and rounded two of each panels corners with the 3/16″ Corner Rounder. The greeting is from the Sweet Essentials Stamp Set and is stamped in Versa-Mark and heat embossed with Pool Party Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I flagged the right side of the piece and adhered it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I really like the simple modern look and I have been really into leaving things off the edge of the card lately.

buynoprescriptionrxxonline.net/greenline-pharmacy.html

The second card I have for you is for the Creative Focus. They ask: This month, let’s show off our new paper piercing tools! Located on Page 181 of the Main Catalog and on Page 27 & 36 of the Spring Catalog, these can add a great accent to any project! Challenge yourself to add piercing to your card in a new way. If you don’t have the paper piercing tool, use a pushpin! Now we all know that I love a little paper-piercing! I wanted to try it on vellum and I’m really happy with the way it turned out. The base of the card is Naturals White Card Stock. I stamped the greeting from the One in a Million Stamp Set in Early Espresso. The layers in the middle start with a Tea Lace Paper Doily. Next up I took a piece of Tea for Two Designer Series Paper and a piece of Vellum Card Stock and held them together while I used the 1/2 Circle Punch to create the ticket corners on them. I then used the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack and my Paper-Piercing Tool to pierce around the piece of vellum. Some SNAIL holds the vellum to the DSP. A piece of Bashful Blue is flagged on either end and pierced across the top and bottom edges. The butterfly is form the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die and is cut from Calypso Coral. I embossed it using the Perfect Polkadots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, adhered it to the flagged piece with SNAIL and to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. A pice of Lucky Limeade is punched out with the 7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch and is used to back the 5/8″ Flower Trim that is adhered with Mini Glue Dots. The little butterfly on the bottom is a piece of Calypso Coral that I cut out with the Beautiful Wings Embosslit and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals too. I’m so happy with the piercing on the vellum. It’s so nice and crisp!

My final card is for the Holiday Focus. For this one they ask: Holiday focus: Let’s make cards for the men in our lives! I need these often, and I don’t make them enough. Challenge yourself by using a non-masculine set to make your masculine card or by trying a new technique. I knew exactly what set I wanted to use but I mixed it with a set that I don’t normally think of for masculine cards. The card starts off with a base of Early Espresso Card Stock. I used the Chevron Textured impressions Embossing Folder with some Pool Party Core’dinations Card Stock, I distressed it with that Stampin’ Distress Tool, then adhered it to the card base with SNAIL. The two flagged pieces are adhesive cork shelf liner that I cut out with the Hearts a Flutter Framelits Dies. The circle and #%&@! are from the Dude, You’re Welcome Kit. The circle is stamped in Pool Party and punched out with the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch. The #%&@! is stamped in Early Espresso and cut out with my Paper Snips. Both are adhered to each other and to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The Happy and Birthday are from the Memorable Moments Stamp Set, are stamped in Early Espresso and punched out with the Ticket Duo Builder Punch. They too are adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I guess it doesn’t get more masculine than a fill in the blank swear word in the middle of the card!

I hope that you enjoyed my cards for this month’s SplitCoast Creative Crew Challenges. I want to thank the crew again for inviting me to a part of their team for the past four months. I had a great time! Thank you for coming by to see what I was up to today. I hope you have a pleasant Monday!

Paper Players #139 :-)

Hey there! Happy Easter! How is your weekend so far? Mine is pretty good. I got a lot of my projects done yesterday and I will finish them up today. It was beautiful here yesterday, 60 degrees and sunny. I went for a little ride in the car with the top down. It felt so nice to feel the sun and the breeze. It’s supposed to be nice here this morning but get overcast later. Any egg hunts should be completed in the first half of the day! I’ll be having some dinner with my family later, good times.

Today being Sunday means it’s time for this week’s Paper Players Challenge. This week we have a Tic-Tac-Toe from Jaydee…

I did the the diagonal from top left to bottom right, although I hit a few of the other boxes too. At least I didn’t try to do them all like the last time! LOL! I did do something a little different with my card today too. For the first time I made a hybrid card using the This and That Epic Day Digital Kit. I downloaded it from Stampin’ Up! and created a project in My Digital Studio. I just laid out some of the embellishments on an 8 1/2″ x 11″ page and shared the project as a JPEG. I opened it in Preview on my Mac and I printed it out. My Paper Trimmer and Paper Snips took care of the rest. The base of the card is Daffodil Delight Card Stock. The background, tickets, chevrons and tag are all form the This and That Epic Day Digital Kit. The tickets and chevrons are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I backed the note tag with a piece of Basic Gray, rounded the corners with the 3/16″ Corner Rounder, and punched a hole in the top where I threaded some Linen Thread. Some Gumball Green and the Little Leaves Sizzlit supply the greenery. I created the flowers using the new A Round Array Stamp Set form the 2013-2014 Catalog. They are stamped in Primrose Petals and punched out with the 7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Some Basic Jewels Pearls finish off the card. I love the This and That Epic Day goodies. I’ll get my actual products tomorrow but I had so much fun making the card with the print outs I will definitely do it again! I hope that you enjoyed my Guest Designer card for this week’s Paper Players Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge from Jaydee. Stop by the blog to see what my fellow designers have for you and add your card to the gallery! Thank you for checking in with me today. Once again, Happy Easter!

Create with Connie and Mary 245

Hello peeps! Happy Saturday! How are we doing? I’m good today, yesterday was an extremely busy day at work. The weather was nice, it got up to 54 degrees, yes I had the top down in the car again. I had a nice dinner at IHOP with Anthony, Danielle and Bill, I do like some breakfast for dinner! The first half of today is reserved for crafting and later on this evening my friend Heather and I will be off to Manhattan to see a friend of ours perform in an acapella group competition. I have never been to one of these so it should be fun. What are all of you doing this weekend?

Today I have my card for this week’s Create with Connie and Mary challenge. This week the ladies have given us a simple sketch…

I do love a CAS card, especially lately. The base of my card is So Saffron Card Stock that I cut to 3 3/4″ x 11″ and folded in half. I made the card a little smaller so that my pieces could hang off the side and it will still fit in a standard envelope. I stamped the image from the Flowering Flourishes Stamp Set in Lucky Limeade on the base and also on the bottom half of the tag. The tag is made from Crumb Cake using my Simply Scored and the Diagonal Plate. It gives you perfect angles for the top sides, simply score and cut them off with your Paper Snips. The top half of the tag is stamped in Crumb Cake with the Beyond Plaid Stamp Set. A standard hole punch is used to punch out the hole. I created the flower by punching two pieces of So Saffron with the 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle Punch and then using my Paper Snips to cut in along the scallops. A mini glue dot holds them together and also holds the Brights Basic Button in the center too. The leaves are made with the 1″ Circle Punch from Lucky Limeade. I stamped the greeting from the Essentials Stamp Set in Lucky Limeade on Whisper White. A piece of Lucky Limeade is cut along the bottom edge with the Finishing Touches Edgelits Die. I adhered it to the back of the greeting and flagged the end. I love the simplicity and spring like feel of the card and hope you enjoyed my card for this week’s Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge. Thanks a lot for stopping by. Have a great Saturday!
