SIP Challenge 28 – Anything But Christmas!

It was a little chilly here yesterday and then it rained last night. I would like the 60 degree weather back now please! My day was nice and quiet. I was in the house most of the morning crafting and FaceTiming with Andrea. Taylor stopped by to take a nap on my couch and then in the afternoon I ran over to see Sue for a bit. She surprised me and got me a 2016 Sam Smith calendar! That was very nice of her, love it! After I left Sue’s I had some dinner at my parents with Taylor and then I came home and watched some TV. It’s supposed to rain here most of the day today and I’m going to head over to Sue’s again so that we can make some ornaments!

Today it’s time for the last Stamp, Ink Paper Challenge of 2015! I’m pretty much over Christmas and I’m sure that you are too so this week we have an Anything but Christmas theme…

I had some fun with a new stamp set from The Ton! The base for today’s card is Ivory 110lb Card Stock and the background is a piece of Recollections Adhesive Cork. I stamped another piece of Ivory 110lb with the Lawn Fawn Woodgrain Backdrops Photopolymer Stamp in Simon Says Stamp Stone Ink and then used the Simon Says Stamp Large Tags Craft Dies to cut it out. A piece of Hemptique Natural Hemp Cord is tied through the top and I adhered it to the card with Fun Foam and SNAIL. The first part of the greeting and the coffee cups are from The Ton Hug in a Mug Photopolymer Stamp Set and are both stamped in Versa-Fine Onyx Black Ink. I stamped the latte art in Hero Arts Cup O Joe Ink and then used my Copics to shade it and add the dots. The final part of the greeting is cut from some Early Espresso using The Ton Coffee Word Die and adhered to the bottom right of the card with Multi-Matte Medium. You know how I feel about coffee so this is an awesome set and I love the way that the latte art looks with the Copics! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge! The rest of the Team has some really great cards to inspire you over on the BLOG so go over and check them out and be sure and join us! Thanks a latte (get it?! LOL!) for stopping by today!

The Ink Pad Tons of Fun Class Cards

Wow! Wednesday already?! Busy week’s do move fast! I had a nice crafty morning yesterday making some tags for my next class at The Ink Pad on the 16th. It was rainy so it was the perfect day to be holed up in the Stampin’ Galley! I went over to my parent’s for lunch and spent some time with Daniel playing before coming back home for a bit. Heather came by around 6:00 to pick me up so we could run to her office and get her things from her desk. She is officially a remote employee and couldn’t be happier! After she dropped me off I ran a few errands and then sat down to watch my show, Limitless but they changed the time so I’ll have to catch it on the internet. Today I am going to be crafty again, more rain!

I promised the class from The Ink Pad that I would post the cards today so here they are!

Quilted Peony Card

Tiffany Shaker Card

Pyrotechnics Card

I think that my favorite of the bunch has to be the fireworks card! Heat embossed in the glitter embossing powder really does make it look like fireworks!

SIP Challenge 21 – CAS Christmas!

I had a nice quiet Monday. I crafted for a bit in the morning and then went over to Brian & Kim’s to meet up with Heather for lunch. We had Subway and got caught up. When I got home I spent a little time on FaceTime with Andrea and then took a quick run to A.C. Moore and the bank. I had dinner with my parents and Taylor and then came home and finished up some cards that I have been working on. The rest of the evening was spent watching a little TV. This morning I have to run over to Scrap-A-Latte to see Renee and then who knows!

Since it’s Tuesday it’s time for another Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge…

I went super clean and simple! The card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I adhered two strips of paper from the Recollections Midnight Magic 6×6 Pad from top to bottom and right to left to form my ribbon. The bow is from the The Ton Stamps Holiday Bows Photopolymer Stamp Set and is stamped in Simon Says Stamp Goldenlocks Ink. The second layer of the stamp is heat embossed in Ranger Gold Tinsel Embossing Powder and the it’s cut out with the Coordinating Dies. My tag is cut from a piece of Cherry Cobbler and the greeting is from an old Paper Pumpkin Set. I heat embossed that in Hero Arts White Embossing Powder and tied a piece of Papertrey Ink Natural Hemp Twine though the hole. The bow is then adhered with the tag string under it. Very clean and simple but with a lot of sparkle and I love the pop of red! I hope that you like my Design Team card for this week’s Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge!

Mojo Monday 421

Hi there! We are off to the start of another week! I had a nice lazy day yesterday. It rained in the morning but the sun came out around 1:00. I made a few projects and watched a few movies. Didn’t do the things that I should have been doing but it is what it is! Today I’m going to stop by and see Renee and then this afternoon I’m going to stop by Sue’s and hang out with her for a bit.

The start of another week also means that it’s time for a new Mojo Monday challenge…

I picked up another stamp set from The Ton when Effie dropped them off the other day and used them on today’s card! The base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock cut to 3 1/2″ wide. My background is a piece of Black 110lb that is adhered to the card with SNAIL and Fun Foam. I heat embossed the greeting from a old Paper Pumpkin Kit in Hero Arts White Embossing Powder in the lower right hand corner. The panel on the right is a piece of Shadow Curious Metallic Card Stock and I rounded the corners with my Corner Chomper. A strip of Cherry Cobbler goes down the middle. I cut out a piece of Solar White 80lb with my Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Circles and adhered that to the card with Foam Tape. Those fun bows are form The Ton Holiday Bows Layering Photopolymer Stamp Set. I stamped them in Simon Says Stamp Stone Ink twice using my MISTI for prefect alignment. The second layer is stamped in Simon Says Stamp Black Ink and they are cut out with the coordinating Dies. The two smaller bows are adhered to the card with SNAIL and the large one with Foam Tape. For some added sparkle I adhered a few Pretty Pink Posh Charcoal and Sparkling Clear Sequins around the bows. I love the 3D look that you get with the cool Holiday Bows and they will work great for birthday’s too! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge! Don’t forget to to stop by the blog and take a look at the rest of the Design Team’s cards and add yours to the gallery! Thank you for your visit today! I wish you all a fun Monday! 🙂

Pink Peony Hello

We had another nice sunny day here yesterday! It was in the 70’s in Manhattan, not to last too long though, tonight it’s to drop down into the 40’s. But I did enjoy the day! I spent some time at The Ink Pad, they got in a huge order so I volunteered to help with it. It’s a great way to have first dibs on the new goodies! LOL! Last night I met Kim at the Party City on 14th Street. She is off to St. Louis this morning and had to get a Halloween costume. After that we had some Chipotle for dinner and then headed back uptown to her apartment. I set up her Pebble Watch, FitBit, iPad and Bluetooth Music Receiver, that’s a lot of electronics! This morning I’m going to head back down to The Ink Pad and then make my way home.

Today I have a card that uses a new line of stamps that The Ink Pad is the exclusive retailer of. The card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. For the background I embossed a piece of Neenah Desert Storm with the We R Memory Keepers Woodgrain Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card with Fun Foam and SNAIL. The flower and leaves are from the Large Peony Photopolymer Stamp Set from The Ton Coture Stamps Set. I heat embossed it and the leaves in Hero Arts White Embossing Powder on some Ranger Watercolor Card Stock. To color them I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and a damp paint brush. They are then cut out with my Paper Snips and adhered to the card with SNAIL and Fun Foam. My greeting is a piece of paper from the Midnight Magic 6×6 Pad and Black 110lb cut out with the Simon Says Stamp Painted Hello Die. I adhered them to each other and to the card with Multi-Matte Medium. Finally, a few Pretty Pink Posh Ballerina and Gold Sequins are scattered around the flower finish off the card with a little sparkle! I do love that flower, nice and big, oh and very bright! LOL! I hope that you enjoyed my card for today! Thank you for stopping by and have a very nice Thursday! 🙂
