SIP Challenge 63 – Wonderful Wings!

Not a bad Monday at all! The weather was nice, hot and super sunny, just how I like it! I got a lot accomplished at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store, more that I thought I would! I ordered some new products, inquired about my Hero Arts order and started working on my cards for Card Class. I also managed to make my card for today, all that was left to do when I got home was to add some Sequins! After dinner I ran a few errands and then sat down at the computer and caught up on some YouTube subscriptions and got the two posts done for today! I’ll continue working on the cards today and see what else I can come up with! Renee has her Home Decor class today, they are replacing the o in home with an apple! So neat! Oh, and my friend Crystal that came by the store on Saturday wrote a great post about her little adventure! You can read it HERE!

Today I’m over on the Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge Blog for this week’s challenge…

In my Pretty Pink Posh order the other day were some goodies other than those awesome sequins! My card base today is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with the front covered in a piece of Gold Mirror Card. I took a piece of Arches 140lb Watercolor Paper and did a wash of some blue and green watercolor paint from my Mijello Mission Gold Palette. After I sped up the drying with my Heat Tool I used the Pretty Pink Posh Mini Storybook 1 Die to cut out my window for my shaker. Some Acetate is adhered to the back and then a little Fun Foam. I added some Pretty Pink Posh Share Handmade Kindness Sequins Mix to the card front and adhered the panel over the top. My butterflies and greeting are from the Pretty Pink Posh Blissful Butterflies Photopolymer Stamp Set and are all heat embossed in Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder onto more Arches 140lb and colored in with my Mijello Mission Gold Watercolors. I cut them out with the Coordinating Dies and adhered them all to the card with 3D Foam Squares. A few more sequins from the Share Handmade Kindness Mix along with some Gold ones are adhered to the card with Multi-Matte Medium. I love that little butterfly set and dies, the greeting is awesome too! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge!

Mojo Monday 463

And it’s time to start another week! I really enjoyed my weekend! We had a nice day at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store yesterday. The Novak sisters came up to work on some projects and I introduced them to the MISTI! We have another Altenew stamping master! Renee worked on her next piece of the Home Decor project and I got caught up on some administrative things. I snuck out a little early and booked my Parent’s trip to Florida. They are going to meet my Aunt, Uncle and cousins from England in Florida. They are leaving on my birthday! Pretty messed up right?! LOL! I also made the mistake of watching the MTV VMA’s, what a horrible production! The performances were ok but the hosts and the fillers were appalling! Maybe I’m just getting old?! Anyway, today I have to start working on my cards for the September Card Class, that will be fun!

Monday, Mojo Monday! YAY! Here is this week’s sketch…

Oh, Tall & Skinny, love them! I started working on my card at the store and assembled it when I got home. My base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock cut to 3 1/2″ wide. The background is a piece of Solar White 80lb and that is adhered to the card with Fun Foam and E-Z Runner. I added a strip of Bo Bunny Believe 12×12 Paper, with the end flagged, down the right side of the card. Across the card is a piece of Amethyst Stardream Metallic and going across that is a piece of Gold Mirror Card. I stamped my image and greeting from the Altenew Tulip Photopolymer Stamp Set in Soft Lilac, Lavender Fields and Deep Iris for the tulip and Frayed Leaf and Forest Glades for the stem, the greeting is also stamped in Deep Iris. The piece is then backed with a piece of Cyber Grape and Fun Foam and adhered to the card with E-Z Runner. I adhered a few Pretty Pink Posh Pansy Purple, Gold and Lime Sorbet Sequins with Multi-Matte Medium around the tulip and the card is done! I love that beautiful layered tulip and the font in the greeting is perfect for the set! I hope that you like my Design Team card for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge! Be sure and check out the rest of the Team’s cards over on the BLOG and let’s see yours in the gallery! Thank you very much for starting you week off visiting me! Have a simple Monday! 🙂

Do What Makes You Happy Hibiscus

Well, I just had the most fun day yesterday! My friend Crystal, aka Super Stamp Girl, stopped by the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store with her friends Donna and Laurie who also had her daughter with her. We had a very nice visit and as an added bonus Crystal brought me some apple cider donuts! They were delicious by the way! I love getting to see my crafty friends in person! All four of the ladies were wonderful! Here is a little picture of us…

Thanks so much Crystal for coming by with your lovely friends! Can’t wait for your next visit!

The crop was fun as always, I love getting to chat with all of the ladies! I had the nicest ride home in the car, I can’t explain how happy it makes me to drive along with the top down and the music on. It’s the little things! My Parent’s went to Pennsylvania and when they got home we had dinner. After that I ran a few errands and then made my card for today. Such a nice Saturday! 😀

My card that I have to share with you today is believe it or not a nice quick and simple card! My base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I covered the front in a piece of the Altenew White Woodgrain Paper. The flowers and the butterfly are all from the Altenew Wild Hibiscus Photopolymer Stamp Set. I heat embossed them onto a piece of Black 110lb in Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder and cut them out with the Coordinating Dies. My sentiment comes from the Altenew Beautiful Quotes Photopolymer Stamp Set and is also heat embossed in Gold on Black. I used a 1″ Circle Punch to cut off the right side, just for something different. All of the flowers, butterfly and greeting are adhered to the card with 3D Foam Squares. I could have left the card as is and been happy but you know that I think everything looks better with some Pretty Pink Posh Sequins! I added Sparkling Clear, Onyx and Gold ones and then added a few Small Clear Droplets to the middles of the 8mm Sparkling Clear ones for a little something extra! It really was a nice simple card but I love the look of the gold embossing on the black card stock with the subtle white woodgrain background and the sentiment is awesome! I hope that you enjoyed the card today! Thanks very much for checking in! Have an amazing Sunday! 🙂

Seashell Hello

I don’t know about you, but I prefer to not have to do much on a Friday! That was not the case yesterday at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store. I did manage to get all of the things that I wanted to get accomplished done, but I was so busy that it was 4:00PM before I knew it! I did get my haircut in the morning and then stopped by Heather’s to pick up a nice salad that she had put together for me! I actually ate it at 3:30, more like linner! LOL! After work I managed to get home in time to see my little Daniel! I got a big hug when I came in the house and we played with monster trucks for a bit before my brother took him home. I watched a little TV when I got o my house and then got an idea for a card so I went into the Stampin’ Galley, still my favorite place to create! Today Renee is having a No-Frills Crop so I will get to spend some time with the ladies! Should be a fun day!

The card that crept into my head last night starts off with a base of Ivory 110lb Card Stock. I took some Heidi Swapp Gold and Bronzer Color Shine and flicked it onto the card front. While that dried I used the Spellbinders Seashells Die D-lites to cut out some Ice Gold, Shadow and White Gold Curious Metallic. I embossed it too, love the texture that gives the die cuts! Before adhering the shells to the card with 3D Foam Squares I added a piece of Washi Tape and a thin strip of Gold Mirror Card across the lower half. My greeting is from the Altenew Label Love Photopolymer Stamp Set and is stamped in Onyx Black onto a piece of Kraft. I used my Scissors to cut out out and adhered to the card with more 3D Foam Squares. To finish the card I added Pretty Pink Posh Pewter, Rose Gold, Charcoal, Sparkling Clear and Gold Sequins. I actually love the way this card came out! I think it looks just like some shells washed up on the beach! I hope that you enjoyed my card for today! Yes, I’m holding onto Sumer with all of my might! LOL! Thanks for coming by today! I wish you all great start to your weekend! 🙂

Freshly Made Sketches 251

What day are we up to? Oh yes… FRIDAY! Such a busy week at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store! I still haven’t gotten all of the Pretty Pink Posh Sequins into the system and Lawn Fawn remains just as popular as ever! Need to finish up today! I did have a very nice evening. I stopped by Heather’s and picked her up on my way home from work. We stopped at my house to drop off my bags and then ran to BJ’s. From there it was back to Heather’s to have a nice big salad for dinner. Around 8:30 Stephanie came over and we sat outside and had some wine and laughed and just relaxed. Oh how I love Thirsty Thursday! This morning I have a haircut and then it’s off to the store for another fun filled day! I hope that I can get all of my projects finished!

I did manage to make a card yesterday for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge…

My card base for today is Ivory 110lb Card Stock. I adhered a piece of Kraft to the center and then took a piece of Ivory 110lb and coated it with Versa-Mark and Hero Arts Brass Embossing Powder. After a little quality time with the Heat Tool it was all melted and pretty ready to be adhered to the card with Fun Foam and E-Z Runner. Next up I cut out a piece of Vellum with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Ovals Lawn Cuts. My feathers are from the Concord & 9th Give Thanks Photopolymer Stamp Set. I stamped them in Sapphire Crisp Ink and added the vein and tips with more Brass Embossing Powder. They are cut out with my Scissors and adhered to the oval with E-Z Runner with more hidden on the back to adhere it to the card. Finally I stamped my greeting from the same set in more Sapphire Crisp Ink and the card is done! I really do like that Give Thanks Set, you can do so many different things with the images in it! I hope that you like my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge! Thanks for spending a little of your Friday with me! Have an super terrific day! 🙂

Paper Players 309

I need a nap! LOL! Thank god that Sue came by the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store to help me yesterday! I would have never gotten all of that Lawn Fawn and Pretty Pink Posh checked in and entered! The Partial Die Cutting Class was so much fun! I love showing people new things to add to their crafting arsenal! My buddy Melissa stayed behind after the night class to help me straighten up. We left around 8:30. When I got home I had a bunch more stuff to do and there is still more to be done today! But tonight is Thirsty Thursday and I get to see my peeps! Oh, and have a nice glass of whine! YAY! Let’s see, I have my store, my peeps and all of you! I’m one lucky guy wouldn’t you say?! 😀

My little bit of creativity that I have to share with you today is for this week’s Paper Players challenge from my friend Sandy…

She just happened to stop by the store while I watercoloring my ice pops the other day so she got a sneak peek at the card! My base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card stock with the front covered in a piece of Cyber Grape. I stamped the stripes onto a piece of Ballerina Pink with the Concord & 9th Stripe Builder Photopolymer Stamp in some Cotton Candy Crisp Ink. Before I adhered it to the card I cut out the word sweet with the Concord & 9th Sweet & Cool Dies. My ice pops are from the Concord & 9th Sweet & Cool Photopolymer Stamp Set. I heat embossed them in Hero Arts Brass Embossing Powder onto a piece of Arches 140lb Watercolor Paper and colored them with my Mijello Mission Gold Watercolors. They are cut out using one of the other dies from the Sweet & Cool Die Set and adhered to the card with 3D Foam Squares. I stamped the rest of the greeting in Deep Iris Crisp Ink and added a few Pretty Pink Posh Amethyst and Gold Sequins around the pops to finish the card! Love that Sweet & Cool Stamp & Die set! It’s makes for a nice fun birthday card don’t you think?! I hope that you like my card for this week’s Paper Players challenge! Thanks for sharing in my day! Have a absolutely amazing Thursday! 🙂

Paper Craft Crew 208

Hello! Welcome to Wednesday! I had a very productive day at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store! I managed to make two cards and get ready for my Partial Die Cutting Class too! Renee had brought in some delicious chicken soup with tortellini and meatballs in it and was nice enough to share it with me for lunch. I headed home around 6:00 and had dinner with my parents. They got central air installed in the house and it was lovely and cool inside! When I got to my house I called Heather and I went over to her house and picked her up so we could run to IKEA and Target. I had to return a mattress cover that I had bought and followed the washing instruction but some of it melted in the dryer! I also picked up a Duvet Cover and a new light for above my computer desk at home. Heather had a few odds and ends to get at Target and then I dropped her off and came back home and spent the rest of the evening planning for future classes at the store. Tomorrow the new Lawn Fawn release will be available! Yay!

If it’s Wednesday then it’s time for this week’s Paper Craft Crew challenge…

My card base for today is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. All of the images are from the Concord & 9th Brushed Blossom Photopolymer Stamp Set. I stamped the little spatters on the card base in Hero Arts Pale Tomato and Lime Green. Next up I stamped the flower and leaves in the same colors onto a piece of Solar White 80lb. To cut it out I used the Reverse Confetti Woodgrain Confetti Cuts. It’s adhered to the card with Fun Foam and E-Z Runner. Some Gold Mirror Card is cut out with the Concord & 9th Blossom Die and adhered to over the flower with Multi-Purpose Spray Adhesive. My greeting is from the Concord & 9th You’re My Person Photopolymer Stamp Set and is stamped in Onyx Black. I used my Scissors to cut it out and adhered it to the card with 3D Foam Squares. For a little sparkle I added a few Pretty Pink Posh Sequins from the Concord & 9th Birthday Bling Sequin Mix. I love that flower and the fact that the die doesn’t match it exactly makes it even better! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge! Stop by the BLOG and see the rest of the Team’s cards and enter yours in the gallery! Thank you for coming by today to check in with me! I wish you all a wonderful Wednesday! 🙂

SIP Challenge 62 – A Sketch!

Hi! Thanks so much for coming by today! It was another absolutely gorgeous day here! The humidity broke and the temps were in the low 80’s. I got another Altenew order at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store to replenish some of what is missing and it also included a few new items! I have to get ready for my Partial Die Cutting Class on Wednesday and the massive Lawn Fawn order that will arrive. I need to get that all checked in and ready for Thursday! That’s the day it gets released to the public! Can’t wait to play with all of their new goodies! Wednesday is going to be a crazy busy day at the store! Anyone wanna come by and help?! 😀

So what do I do on Tuesday?! Oh yes, it’s time for another Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge! This week we have a nice simple sketch…

When I sat down to make this card on Saturday it started out as a completely different card. Then I went to look for something and found this paper pad that I forgot I had. That was the inspiration for the rest of the card! The card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with the front covered in a piece of Early Espresso. The background is that piece of paper from the Prima Cartographer A4 Paper Pad. Next up is a piece of My Minds Eye Christmas on Market Street Shining Stars Foiled Vellum. The circle is a piece of Gold Mirror Card that I cut out with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Circles Lawn Cuts. It’s adhered to the card with Fun Foam and E-Z Runner, I also hid the adhesive for the Vellum behind it! My greeting is from the Hero Arts Many Everyday Messages Photopolymer Stamp Set and is heat embossed in Ranger Gold Tinsel Embossing Powder. For the feathers I used the Spellbinders Feathers Shapeabilities Dies to cut out some Kraft Card Stock. I added a little Versa-Mark to the ends and heat embossed some more of the Gold Tinsel Embossing Powder onto them. They are adhered to the gold circle with 3D Foam Squares and a piece of DMC Gold Thread is tied around the top. Three Pretty Pink Posh Gold Sequins complete the card! I love that background paper, so glad that I found it! I also love the way the Vellum softens it! I hope that you like my Design Team card for this week’s Stamp, Ink, Paper Sketch Challenge! Take a minute to stop by the BLOG and see what the rest of my fantastic Design Team has come up with to inspire you! We hope to see your card in the gallery so that you might be one of our top three picks! Thanks again for stopping by! Have a terrific Tuesday! 🙂

Mojo Monday 462

Hello and welcome to Monday, sponsored by the Mojo Monday Sketch! LOL! It was a pretty overcast day here yesterday and started raining around 6:00PM. I spent a little time with my buddy Daniel in the morning! The Stamp, Ink, Paper Store had a steady flow of customers, Melissa and her mom stopped by and we chatted for a while! I had dinner with my Parents when I got home and then sat down and watched some TV. A nice way to end the weekend and get ready for the busy week ahead!

Yes, it’s Monday and that means that it’s time for another Mojo Monday sketch…

I went with a bright sunny card to chase away the rain! My card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and the background is a piece of paper from the PhotoPlay Summer Daydreams Line called Swinging in the Clouds. The strips across the bottom are Candied Yam and Moonstone Blue. Next up is a piece of Vellum that I adhered to the card with E-Z Runner, hiding under the main panel. Speaking of the main panel it’s a piece of Arches 140lb Watercolor Paper that I heat embossed the sentiment from the Concord & 9th Hugs Photopolymer Stamp Set in Hero Arts Clear Embossing Powder and then did a wash over it with my Mijello Mission Gold Watercolors. It’s adhered to the card with Tombo Extreme and Fun Foam. The bear and oranges are from the same set and are also heat embossed in Clear on Arches and colored in with my Watercolors. I cut them out with my Scissors and adhered them to the card with 3D Foam Squares. A few Pretty Pink Posh Tangerine, Lemon and Cobalt Sequins compete the card! I love that little bear and the orange slices but my favorite is that fun greeting! Who wouldn’t want to be freshly squeezed with a hug?! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge! Head on over to the BLOG and see what the rest of the Design Team has come up with to inspire you and add your card to the gallery! Thank you very much for starting your week off here!

Ooh-La-La Sending Feather Love & August Stamp, Ink, Paper Store Class Cards!

Well, I had a very enjoyable day off! I made sure that I got a little cleaning done. I was going to wash my car but I’m glad that I didn’t, it rained for about an hour in the afternoon. I also made sure that I got a lot of nothing time in too. I think that we all need to just be for a little while every once in a while. I sat outside for a bit in the morning with Daniel, we watched some truck videos on the iPad. I also watched a little TV and ran a few errands last night. Like I said a very nice day! Today I’ll be at The Stamp, Ink, Paper Store getting back in the swing! LOL! Renee is off and will be spending time with her grandkids! Family time is very important, wouldn’t you agree?!

So I was all set to just share the cards from this month’s Card Class at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store but around 10:00PM I had the urge to make a card, it just popped into my head! The card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I used my Mini Ink Blending Tool and Picked Raspberry and Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink to create my background on a piece of Tim Holtz Watercolor Card. I made sure that it was dry with my Heat Tool and spattered it with some Hero Arts Unicorn White Ink Spray and Heidi Swapp Gold Color Shine and dried it again with the Heat Tool. It’s adhered to the card with Fun Foam and E-Z Runner. My feather is cut from a piece of Vellum with the Spellbinders Feathers Shapeabilities Dies. I used my Versa-Marker to add the vane and sprinkled on some Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder and heat set that. The Eiffel Tower is cut from Gold Mirror Card using the Spellbinders Ooh-La-La Die D-Lites. I adhered the bottom of the feather with Multi-Matte Medium and the Eiffel Tower with 3D Foam Squares. My greeting is from the Hero Arts Many Everyday Messages Photopolymer Stamp Set and is heat embossed in more Gold Embossing Powder onto more Vellum. I flagged the right side and tucked it under the Tower. I love the simplicity of the card and the cool background! I’ll add the cards from Class at the end of the post! I hope that you enjoy all of the cards for today! Thank you very much for stopping by today! Have a spectacular Sunday! 🙂
