Freshly Made Sketches #45 and Sneak Peek

Good morning all! It’s supposed to rain this morning and then again this afternoon here today. I have my Stampin’ Up! meeting tonight and I’ll post my swap card on Saturday. I can’t wait to see all of the other swaps that I will get. 🙂

Today’s post is for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches Challenge. Cindy has provided us with this sketch…

Very nice, clean and simple and I kept my card exactly like that. The base of my card is Baja Breeze Card Stock. I used a piece of Patio Party Designer Series Paper backed by a piece of Whisper White Card Stock for the large sort of background piece, it’s adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The stamped image is form the Four Seasons Host(ess) Stamp Set and is stamped in Primrose Petals. I used the 2 3/8″ Scallop Circle punch to punch it out. The image was stamped again in Baja Breeze and I punched out just the center image with the 1 ” Circle Punch and mounted it to the larger Image with a Stampin’ Dimensional. The ribbon is Primrose Petals 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon. I used some Sticky Strip to wrap it around the DSP and hold it in place. Another piece of ribbon is slid through one of the new Designer Ribbon Slides* and I flagged the ends with my Paper snips. It is adhered to the other piece of ribbon with a Mini Glue Dot. The greeting is from the Fabulous Phrases Stamp Set and is stamped in Primrose Petals and cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies. Some Stampin’ Dimensionals are also used to adhere that to the card front. The new Round Designer Ribbon Slides* are one of my favorite new embellishments from the new Holiday Catalog. You can place your orders starting August 1st. I hope you enjoyed this week’s Freshly Made Sketches Challenge Card and thank for checking in. Have a great day!

Red Pool Preserved Beautiful Wings Thanks and Sneak Peek

Hello everyone! It’s Wednesday and that means we are more than halfway through the week! How is everyone today? I’m good, I finished my swaps for my meeting on Thursday which makes me a happy camper. Today’s post is a 3 x 3 card perfect to attach to a gift or leave on a co-workers desk. I really like the new Perfectly Preserved Stamp Set from the 2012 Holiday Catalog and I thought, hmm, what else can I put in there besides fruit? I know… some butterflies! The base of the card is Whisper White Card Stock and I added a piece of Pool Party embossed with Chevron Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for the background. The jar, lid and greeting are all from the Perfectly Preserved Stamp Set* and are stamped in Pool Party and Real Red. The jar and lid are cut out with the new Cannery Framelits Dies* and the greeting is punched out with the Small Oval Punch. I used a piece of Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper and a piece of Pool Party 3/8″ Ruffled Ribbon and flagged both before I adhered the jar and greeting to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The butterflies are cut out with the Beautiful Wings Embosslit from Real Red Card Stock and are also adhered with pieces of Stampin’ Dimensionals. I really like the different color combination the flagged pieces go so well with the Chevron Embossing Folder. Don’t forget a week from today you can start ordering form the new 2012 Holiday Catalog!

Mojo 251 and Sneak Peek

Hello everyone and happy Tuesday! Tuesday is better than Monday but not by much! It rained here a bit yesterday but I think it’s supposed to be nice today. I have some swaps to get done for a meeting on Thursday so I will be busy later!

Today’s post is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. The weeks sketch is provided to us by Carole Burrage…

What a nice simple sketch for this week, thanks Carole! The base of my card is Real Red Card Stock. I added a piece of Crumb Cake for a simple background layer. The piece of Real Red on the left is embossed using the Argyle Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on Real Red Card Stock. For the two pieces on the right I used the Clockworks Stamp Set and stamped the top image three times and the bottom image once in Real Red. The circle in the middle is a pice of Soft Suede punched out with the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch. I used the Affection Collection Stamp Set* for the scalloped cloud, stamped in Crumb Cake, and the wings which are stamped in Real Red. The pocket watch is also from the Clockworks Stamp Set and is stamped in Soft Suede. The clock face is stamped in Real Red and punched out with the 1 1/4″ Circle Punch. The hands are stamped in Soft Suede and I used a Metallic 3/16″ Brad in the center and then mounted it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The cool ribbon treatment uses one of the new Round Designer Ribbon Slides* and some Soft Suede 3/8″ Taffeta Ribbon and Real Red 1/8″ Taffeta Ribbon. I used the Simply Serif Mini Alphabet to stamp the greeting with my trusty Stamp-a-ma-jig. I really like the way the card came out and hope that you enjoy it too. Thank you very much for visiting to check out this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card. Have an amazing day!

Paper Players #105 and Sneak Peek

Hello everyone! How was your weekend? Mine was good. I got most of what I wanted to do accomplished. I also went into the city yesterday to see some friends and drop off a Stampin’ Up! order. The best part was driving in and back with the top down in the car! 🙂

Today’s post is for this weeks Paper Players Challenge. This week Jaydee has given us this sketch challenge…

A nice simple layout to work with. The base of my card is Cherry Cobbler Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Very Vanilla with the new Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing Folder* and backed it with a piece of Garden Green. The tree is cut with my Paper Trimmer and mounted to the card. I embossed piece of Very Vanilla with the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing Folder* and adhered to a piece of Garden Green with some SNAIL. The ornaments are from the Merry Minis Stamp Set* and are stamped in Cherry Cobbler. I used the coordinating new Merry Minis Punch Pack* to punch them out. The circles behind them are form the Be Of Good Cheer Designer series Paper and are punched out with the 3/4″ Circle Punch. I adhered the ornaments to the circles with Mini Glues Dots and the circles are adhered to the tree with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I punched the star out with the Merry Minis Punch Pack* from a piece of new Champagne Glimmer Paper*. For the circle to the left I used a piece of Vellum Card Stock with the Delicate Doilies Large Sizzlit Die. The new 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle Punch* is used to punch out a piece of Garden Green. The Cherry Cobbler Circle is punched out with the 3/4″ Circle Punch and the tree with the Merry Mini Punch Pack*. The greeting across the top is from the new Border Banter Stamp Set* and is stamped in Garden green and mounted to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Not Quite Rose Apothecary Label Anniversary CASE

Hello everyone and a good Sunday morning to you all. I hope that you are enjoying the weekend and having some fun outdoors. It was gorgeous here today on Long Island. Today’s card was made for two friends of mine, Chantal and Marc, for their anniversary. It’s a case from the 2012-2013 Catalog. I changed up the colors and added one thing to it. The base of the card is Whisper White Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Rose Red with the Framed Tulips Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. On top of that is a piece of Not Quite Navy cut out with the Labels Collection Framelits Dies. The main image is from the From My Heart Stamp Set and is stamped in Rose Red. I used the Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies to cut it out. For a little added interest I used the Essentials Paper Piercing Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool around the edge. I stamped the image again in Not Quite Navy and cut out just the enjoying and mounted over the original with some Stampin Dimensionals. The greeting is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set and is also stamped in Not Quite Navy and mounted on Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love the layering and like the added greeting. I hope that you enjoyed today’s card and thank you so much for taking some time out of your busy day to stop by, I appreciate it. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

PPA 139 and Sneak Peek

Hello there peeps! Welcome to Saturday! What is everyone doing this weekend? I’m going to try to get some stuff done around the house and then tomorrow morning I’m off to Manhattan to see a few friends. Hopefully the weather will be nice, it’s not fun in the city when it rains.

Today’s post is for the twice monthly Pals Paper Arts Challenge. This week we have a sketch provided by Margaret Moody…

I decided that this layout would work great for a holiday card. The base of my card is Cherry Cobbler Card Stock. I used two different strips of Be of Good Cheer Designer Series Paper for the background. The piece of ribbon across the middle is Gumball Green Stitched Satin Ribbon and is adhered around the back with some Sticky Strip. For the panel in the middle I used some Cherry Cobbler for the backing and the front is a piece of Very Vanilla that I embossed with the new Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing Folder*. The ornaments are from the new Ornament Keepsake Stamp Set* and are stamped in Cherry Cobbler and Gumball Green. I used the coordinating Holiday Ornaments Framelits Dies* to cut them out. The smaller ornaments were stamped again in Gumball Green and I used the 3/4″ Circle Punch to punch out the middle and mounted them to the ornaments with Stampin’ Dimensionals. All of the ornaments are also mounted to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from the Tiny Tags Stamp Set and is stamped in Gumball Green and punched out with the Jewelry Tag Punch. I used the 1/16″ Circle Punch for the hole that I threaded the Linen Thread through and tied in a knot at the end. I adhered it to the card with more Stampin’ Dimensionals. The best part about the stamps used in this card is that they come in a bundle with the Framelits, if you buy them together you save 15%! You know I like fussy cutting but if there is a Framelit it saves a lot of time. Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope that you enjoyed today’s twice monthly Pals Paper Arts Challenge card. Have a happy Saturday!

Freshly Made Sketches #44

Woo hoo! It’s FRIDAY! I loves me some Friday! What is everyone doing for the weekend? I am wishing that I was at Stampin’ Up! Convention, but hopeful next year. I still have big plans to get a lot of stuff done this weekend, I’ll let you know how I do!

Today’s post is for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches Challenge. This week Jen M. has give us this nice simple sketch…

I decided that I liked the rosette card so much that I made last week that I would do another one. This sketch is perfect for it and the only change I made was to switch the circles. The base of the card is Baja Breeze Card Stock. I used the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch to punch out the circle on the front of the card. Some Floral District Designer Series Paper and the Simply Scored make a really nice simple rosette. I used some Mini Glue Dots to hold the rosette together and the 3/4″ Circle punch and another piece of Floral District DSP to cove the middle. The circle to the left is from the Lacy and Lovely Stamp Set and is stamped in Rich Razzleberry and punched out with the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch. I used the 2 1/2″ Circle punch to crop of the one side and adhered it to the card with SNAIL flush against the side of the circle I punched out of the card. The butterflies are cut out from the Beautiful Wings Embosslit in Rich Razzleberry, Tangerine Tango and Rose Red Card Stock. They are all adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The Hello is also from the Lacy and Lovely Stamp set and is stamped in Rose Red, cut out with my Paper Snips and also mounted to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I threaded two Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons with Whisper White Bakers Twine and adhered them to the center of the rosette and other circle with Mini Glue Dots. I hope that you enjoyed this weeks Freshly Made Sketches Challenge card. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Friday!

Indigo Limeade Mini Milk Preserved Pair and Sneak Peek

Good day to you all. It’s Thursday and that means that we are one more day closer to the weekend! I have big plans to get a lot accomplished this weekend, we’ll see how that goes. For today’s post I made a little 3 x 3 z-fold card and a Mini Milk Carton to go with it. The card starts off with a base of Naturals White Card Stock cut to 3″ x 9″ and scored at 1 1/2″, 3″, 6″ and 7 1/2″. I embossed a pice of Lucky Limeade with the new Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder* and adhered it to the front panels. The stamped images are from the new Perfectly Preserved* Stamp Set and are cut out with the new Cannery Framelits Dies*. The jar is stamped in Island Indigo and a piece of Island Indigo Bakers Twine is tied around the mouth. The pear is stamped in Lucky Limeade and the leaves in Chocolate Chip. The just for you is also stamped in Island Indigo and cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies. They are all mounted to the belly band of Island Indigo, the pear and greeting with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The Mini Milk Carton is cut out with the Mini Milk Carton Bigz Die from another piece of Naturals White Card Stock. I used Sticky Strip to hold it together. A piece of Island Indigo is used for the background behind a repeat of the pear from the card. The thank you is stamped in Island Indigo and I used the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies to cut out a piece of Lucky Limeade to mount behind it. A Stampin’ Dimensional makes sure that you can still open the milk carton without bending the greeting. I’m loving the color combination. The new Perfectly Preserved* Stamp Set and Cannery Framelits Dies* are some of my favorites from the new Holiday Catalog. I hope that you enjoyed today’s project and thank you so much for stopping by. Enjoy your Thursday everyone!

Beautiful Wings Tag Rosette Box

Good morning peeps! How are you all doing today? I’m doing well, I have scrapbook class tonight! I always look forward to an evening of creativity! For today’s post I have made a cute little 3″ x 3″ x 1 1/4″ box. The bottom of the box is Wisteria Wonder and the top is Basic Gray. I used my Simply Scored to make the box and Sticky Strip to hold it together. To decorate the top of the box I started with a piece of Wisteria Wonder Card Stock that I flagged the ends on with my Paper Snips and then used my Bone Folder to curl them ever so slightly. The next piece is a scalloped piece that I cut out with the Perfect Pennants Bigz L Die in Pool Party. I used the Simply Scored and a pice of First Edition Specialty Designer Series Paper to create the rosette. The gray piece is stamped with the Lacy and Lovely Stamp Set in Basic Gray and punched out with the new 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle Punch* from the Holiday Catalog. On top of that are two butterflies, one in Wisteria Wonder and one in Pool Party, that I cut out with the Beautiful Wings Embosslit. I stamped the greetings from the Tiny Tags Stamp Set in Pool Party, Wisteria Wonder and Basic Gray and punched them out with the Jewelry Tag Punch. Some Wisteria Wonder Bakers Twine is used to tie them to the Vintage Faceted Designer Button and that is adhered to the butterfly with a Mini Glue Dot. I really love the color combination and I am loving the rosettes! I hope that you enjoyed today’s box and thank you, as always, for checking in. Have an awesome day! 🙂

Mojo 250

Hello everyone! How is your day looking? Mine is looking pretty good. I made it through Monday unscathed and that’s always a good thing! Today’s post is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. Julee Tilman has give us this to work with…

I started my card with a base of Certainly Celery that I stamped with the large image from the Creative Elements Stamp Set. On top of that is a piece of Crumb Cake Card Stock that I used the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool around the edge. I added a piece of Primrose Petals Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon across the center and adhered some banners that are cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies in Primrose Petals. The next layer is a piece of Pool Party and on top of that is a piece of Primrose Petals that I also Paper-Pierced around the edges and flagged the bottom. They are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The next layer is a piece of Pool Party that I cut out with the Delicate Doilies Large Sizzlits Die. I backed with a piece of Whisper White punched out with the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch. The top is a piece of Certainly Celery that I punched out with the 2 3/8 Scallop Circle Punch and the embossed with the Perfect Polkadots Embossing Folder. I added a butterfly from the Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set stamped in Primrose Petals and punched it out with the Elegant Butterfly Punch. Some Basic Jewels Pearls are added for the body and it is also adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. To the right is another doily cut out with the Delicate Doilies Large Sizzlits Die in Whisper White and I added a piece of Pool Party punched out with the new 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle Punch* from the Holiday Catalog. Some Primrose Petals flowers punched out with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack are added with some more Basic Jewels Pearls in the middles. For the final touch I added a Vintage Faceted Designer Button with some Whisper White Bakers Twine tied in a bow and adhered it with a Mini Glue Dot. This card has lots of layers and an abundance of detail and I hope that you enjoyed this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. Thank you for dropping by and have an amazing day! 🙂
