Daffodil Wasabi Everybunny

Hello everyone! I hope that you had a good Monday, and now that’s out of the way we can enjoy the rest of the week! For Today’s card I’m posting another Easter card. Easter is less than a week away so it’s time to get those cards made. I started with a piece of Whisper White Card Stock for the base. I took a piece of Daffodil Delight and used my Every Egg Stampin’ Wheel and the Stampin’ Around Wheel Guide to create a background for the card. I like to think of it as Easter Designer Series Paper. The image is from the Everybunny Stamp Set and is stamped in Jet Black Staz-0n Ink and colored in using Wild Wasabi, Daffodil Delight and Pretty In Pink Stampin’ Write Markers. I rounded the corners on it and the piece of Wild Wasabi that it’s mounted to and then adhered it to the card using some Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is also from the Everybunny Stamp set and is also stamped in Wild Wasabi. I used the Modern Label Punch to punch it out and then mounted it on a piece of Wild Wasabi that was cut out using my Big Shot and the Lots of Tags Sizzlits Dies. It too is adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. It’s a nice and quick Easter card perfect for all ages. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! 🙂

Bright Happiness

Good morning all, are we ready for another week? I hope that everyone had a good weekend. For today’s card I used some of the new items that are available for pre-order from the 2012-2013 Idea Book & Catalog. They call it the Summer Smooches Collection and it’s really neat. The card is a 3 x 3 note card which is great for attaching to a gift or tucking inside a little package. The base of the card is Whisper White. I added a piece of Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper for my background. I stamped two images from the Bright Blossoms Stamp Set, one in Real Red and the other in Lucky Limeade, and punched them out the 1 1/4″ Circle Punch. It’s backed with a piece of Real Red punched out with the 1 3/4″ Scalloped Circle Punch. The greeting is from the Fabulous Phrases Stamp Set and is also stamped in Real Red and punched out with the Word Window Punch. I backed it with some more Real Red punched out with the Modern Label Punch. The tiny flowers are punched out with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack and the white circles were punched out with the Cupcake Builder Punch. I adhered them with some Mini Glue Dots and the other two are adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love the color combination, so bright and spring like. I hope you enjoyed today’s card and thank for dropping by. Have great day!

Everybunny Coral Balloon

Good morning peeps and happy Sunday. I had a nice but busy day in Manhattan yesterday. I saw my friend Isabella and dropped off her Stampin’ Up! order and then had some lunch with my friend Kim. I also got a very nice surprise, I was LeeAnne’s Choice for Pick of the Week at The Paper Players! You can see the card here and the post here. For today’s card I decided it was time to break out the Easter stamps seeing as Easter is only a week away. This card was sent to my friends Mina & Pia. The base of the card is Wisteria Wonder and to that I added a piece of Calypso Coral that I ran through the Big Shot using the Texturz Plates Backgrounds 1 Embossing Plates. I stamped the image from the Everybunny Stamp Set in Jet Black Staz-on and colored him in with Calypso Coral and Wisteria Wonder Stampin’ Write Markers. I used the Blushing Bride Marker for a little pink on his ear. The greeting is stamped in Wisteria Wonder and punched out with the Modern Label Punch and mounted on a piece of Wisteria Wonder that I cut out using the Lots of Tags Sizzlits Dies. All of the elements are adhered to the card with SNAIL. I then punched out some flowers with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack in Wisteria Wonder for a cute little addition. Have you started to make your Easter cards yet? I’ll have a few more this week. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Vintage Vogue Concord Bride

Happy Friday everyone! The weekend is just a few hours away! My good friend Angie from Blue Springs Missouri had her fist Workshop tonight and I attended it via FaceTime! You gotta love Apple and modern technology! 🙂 For today’s card I wanted to make a very feminine pretty birthday card. I used some Concord Crush for the base of the card. I took a piece of Very Vanilla and used the Vintage Vogue Stamp Set to make a background randomly stamped in Blushing Bride. I stamped some more images from the set in Concord Crush and cut out the flower image with my Paper Snips and used the Ticket Corner Punch on the F image. I stamped the Happiest Birthday from the Loving Thoughts Stamp Set (Occasions Mini) in Concord Crush and used the Ticket Corner Punch on that too. They are both mounted on Concord Crush Card Stock and all of the elements are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. For the perfect finishing touch I used a Twitterpated Designer Button in Blushing Bride on the cut out flower image. I hope you like today’s card and thank you so much for taking some time to stop by and visit, I appreciate it! Have a great day! 🙂

Simple Sympathy

Hello there people and welcome to Thursday. Only one more day until the weekend! Today’s card is a card that no one likes to have to make, the sympathy card. It’s always a sad time but that doesn’t mean that it can’t be beautiful and simple. I started with a card base of Baja Breeze and to that I added a piece of So Saffron that I ran through the Big Shot using the Perfect Details Texturz Plate. The image is from the Love & Sympathy Stamp Set and is stamped in Baja Breeze on Whisper White Card Stock. I choose the greeting from the Loving Thoughts Stamp Set and that too is stamped in Baja Breeze and both are mounted on Baja Breeze Card Stock. A piece of  So Saffron 3/16″ Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon from the  Elementary Ribbon Originals on the Clearance Rack finishes off the card. I hope that you like today’s simple sympathy card and thank you so much for stopping by!

A-maze-ing Baja Birthday

Happy Wednesday morning to all of you! Its mid-week which means we are halfway there! For today’s card I finally used some items that I purchased from the Occasions Mini Catalog a while ago. The base of the card is Chocolate Chip. I took a piece of Baja Breeze Card Stock and stamped it with the Woodgrain Background Wood Mount Stamp in Chocolate Chip. The cool little Maze Game is backed with a stamp from the Totally Amazing Stamp Set also stamped in Chocolate Chip and is punched out with the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch. For a little more detail there is a piece of cheese in the middle that was stamped in More Mustard. I used some Glue Dots and Tombo to adhere it to the card. I stamped the mouse image in Chocolate Chip and punched it out with the 3/4″ Circle Punch and backed it with a piece of Chocolate Chip punched out with the 1″ Circle Punch. The top greeting is from Happiest Birthday Wishes (Host(ess)) and the lower greeting is also from the Totally Amazing Stamp Set. I think the idea of a maze game on the front of a card is fun. When you send this out  I would use one of the padded envelopes just to make sure that it arrives in one piece! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! 🙂

I adhered the center image with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from the set Fabulous Phrases and is stamped in Lucky Limeade and mounted on some Poppy Parade. For the finishing touch I placed 3 Basic Jewels Rhinestones on the three outside stamped flower images. I love the Mojo Challenge and hope you like the card.

Paper Players #88

A good Monday morning to you. I hope that you all had a nice weekend. As I mentioned yesterday, I went to see Rent and it was great! Thanks to My friend Kim, my daughter and I had a great afternoon! For this weeks Paper Players Challenge Ann has provided this sketch…

I always like to work with a sketch because it makes most of the work, the card layout, so much easier because it’s done for you. As soon as I saw this I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I used one of my favorite sets, French Foliage. The base of the card is Early Espresso and I used a piece of Well Worn Designer Series Paper for the background. I placed three 3/16″ Metallic Brads in the lower left corner, two in the brownish color and one in the aged silver color just to be a little different. I then stamped a piece of Very Vanilla with the En Français Background Wood Mount Stamp in Early Espresso Ink. I punched a piece of Cajun Craze with the Scallop Edge Border Punch and placed it underneath. The piece of ribbon across the front is Early Espresso 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon. After all of that was assembled I adhered it to the card with some Sticky Strip (I like to make sure that it’s not going anywhere!). The stamped images are from the French Foliage Stamp Set and are stamped in Cajun Craze and River Rock and I backed it with some Early Espresso. The greeting is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and is stamped in Early Espresso and punched out with the Decorative Label Punch and half of it is hidden behind the stamped images. I love the card and think I want some more Well Worn DSP! Thank you, as always, for stopping by! Have a great day!

Stampin’ Up! products used:

Card Stock: Very Vanilla, Early Espresso and Cajun Craze Smooth Card Stock

In-Color Flower Burst Thanks

Happy Sunday peeps! I’m off to the city today to go and see Rent with my daughter and my wonderful friend Kim. It is supposed to rain all day but I still love a day in the city. For today’s card I used, in my opinion, a somewhat underused product… the Flower Burst Embosslit. The base of the card is Wisteria Wonder. The background is created with the Big Shot and the Texturz Plates 1 Backgrounds using some Pool Party. I stamped the greeting from Outlined Occasions (Sale-A-Bration) in Calypso Coral and used my Calypso Coral Stampin’ Write Marker to color in the stars. It’s mounted on a piece of Wisteria Wonder and adhered to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used the Flower Burst Embosslit to cut out some Wisteria Wonder and Calypso Coral Card Stock and they are also adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. It’s a nice and bright cheery card for an otherwise gloomy day. Thank you, as always, for stopping by! Have a great day!
