  • Mojo 305 & Display Project 10

    Howdy peeps! It was another lovely day here on Long Island, not too hot during the day and nice and cool last night. We are supposed to have some rain here and there for the next few days and then back to summer temperatures. Work is crazy busy and doesn’t show any signs of slowing down soon. My friend Danielle is in Florida visiting family and she sent me a picture of a spider yesterday that was as big as her hand. Not a fan of spiders so I told her not to bring it back for me. How is everything going by you, hopefully well!

    Today’s post is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch. This week’s sketch is provided by Julee Tilman….

    Mojo305

    I got my new Thinlits from the man in brown yesterday and I used some of the elements on today’s card. The base is Real Red Card Stock and the background a piece of Whisper White. Two of the panels have some I Am Me Designer Series Paper, one backed with Calypso Coral and the other with Basic Gray. The middle panel is a piece of So Saffron that I embossed with the Perfect Polkadots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and backed with a piece of Real Red. I adhered a piece of “Vintage” Real Red 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon around the lower half and tied a knot around it. The greeting is from the Circle Card Thinlits Dies and is backed with a piece of Pool Party that I cut out with the Ovals Collection Framelits and pierced the edge with the Occasions Paper-Piercing Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool. All of the pieces are adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I really love the elements in the Thinlits and I can’t wait to play with card piece. Thanks for stopping by to see my Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge Card. My tenth Display Project is after the supplies. It uses the Quatrefancy DSP and more from the Mosaic Madness Stamp Set. I hope you enjoy your day! 🙂

  • Paper Players 157 & Display Project 9

    Monday, Monday… back again already! That weekend was a quick but very good! I had a splendid day yesterday, I got a lot of crafting time and it was a beautiful day here. The temperatures dropped a little last night so I got open up the windows and let in some fresh air. Tonight I get to see Sandy and all of the ladies from card class, something that the child and I look forward to every month. What’s going on in your neck of the woods?

    Today’s post is for this week’s Paper Players Challenge. This week it’s a fun one! The lovely Anne Marie has given us an anything but a card fall themed project…

    Paper Players #157

    I do love a 3D project and it has been a while since I have done one. I used one of the Tag a Bag Gift Boxes for the base of my box. I put some of the cool birch paper from the Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit on either side and slid the plastic cover on. The top greeting is made by cutting out thankful with one of the Expressions Thinlits Dies and using the negative. I backed it with some more of the birch paper and adhered it to the top of the box with some Sticky Strip. The bow is made with Early Espresso Core’dinations and the Gift Bow Bigz L Die. I then embossed it with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and wrapped another small piece of the birch paper around the center to “tie” it all together! I really love the Expressions Thinlits and the negative cut out is just as great as the regular one. I thank you very much for taking some time to come by and see my Paper Players project for this week’s fall themed anything but a card challenge from Anne Marie. Scroll down past the supplies to see my third Display Project using the Mosaic Suite. Enjoy your day! 🙂

  • Pals Paper Arts 166 & Display Project 8

    Good day! I had a nice time in the Hamptons and then I had breakfast with Kim, Joe and the kiddies. It was rainy here until the afternoon when it cleared up and we got some sun. How is your weekend going so far? I have a little picture of the beach I went to on Friday…Amagansett Beach

    It’s a little overcast in the picture but the water was a lovely temperature and the sand was nice and soft. We went for a nice walk along the water and it was bliss!

    On to the post! Today I have my card for this week’s Pals Paper Arts and we have a color challenge from them…

    PPA 166

    A nice color combo and I decided to go with a freestyle collage card that I got the inspiration for from Pinterest. The base of my card is Whisper White Card Stock. I used the Build a Banner Simply Created kit and a Sponge Dauber with some Smokey Slate to create the right side on the background piece. Two pieces of paper from the Quatrefancy Specialty Designer Series Paper Pack are layered on top. The tag is the World Map Background Stamp in Daffodil Delight and half of a piece of Smokey Slate punched out with the Ticket Duo Builder Punch is on top. I used the Oh, Hello Stamp Set and some Strawberry Slush on Whisper White punched out with the Label Bracket Punch with a 1″ square and some Gingham Garden Washi Tape to back the greeting that is from the Really Good Greetings Stamp Set. A piece of Linen Thread tied in a bow completes the tag. Some chevrons punched out with the Chevron Border Punch and a circle cut out from Smokey Slate with the Circles Collection Framelits Dies finishes the card. I love the random products that can go so well together. Thanks very much for coming by to see my Pals Paper Arts card for this week’s color challenge. Take a little scroll down to see my second card from the Mosaic Display Stamper projects. Enjoy your Sunday!

  • Freshly Made Sketches & Display Stamper 6

    Yeah! It’s FRIDAY! The week went a little slowly for me how about you? I’m off to the Hamptons this morning for work to visit the school that we have out there. We are leaving around 11:30am because there is usually a lot of weekend traffic that starts around 1:00pm. It’s supposed to be nice today so possibly some beach later with my friend Heather who is meeting me out there. 🙂

    Today’s post is for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge. There is also the last of my Hello, Lovely Display Projects at the end of the post. First up we have a sketch from the lovely Jen T….

    Freshly Made Sketches #97

    Nice and simple! I decided to use some of the things I learned from my friend Brian’s demonstration he gave at Convention about using color on Masculine cards. The base of my card is Sahara Sand Card Stock and the background is a piece of paper from the Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper with that great houndstooth pattern in Tangerine Tango. I stamped the image for the main panel from the Remembering Christmas Stamp Set in Versa-Mark and heat embossed it with Early Espresso Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I knocked a little more of the powder off so it would have a slightly weathered look like the DSP. It’s backed with a piece of Early Espresso and adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The two flags are stamped with one of the stamps from last month’s Paper Pumpkin in Early Espresso and Tangerine Tango. Finally the greeting is from the From My Heart Stamp Set and is stamped in Early Espresso and cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies. I love when you can use a stamp from a Christmas set for something else and the deer head is perfect for Masculine cards. The Tangerine Tango is great paired with the neutrals of Sahara Sand and Early Espresso and makes for a nice pop of color. Thanks so much for stopping by to see my Freshly Made Sketches card for this week’s challenge. Scroll down to the end of the post to see my last Display project for Hello, Lovely. I hope you have a lovely day! 🙂

  • Catherine & Cathy Create 4 & Display Stamper 5

Today is my boss’ birthday and I made a fun card and gift bag that I will post sometime over the next few days.

    Today I have my Design Team card for Catherine & Cathy Create. This week’s challenge is Here Comes the Bride…

    CCC Challenge General Logo

    I really like the Love & Laughter Stamp Set. I have used it for so many cards over the past year or so and I think it looks great paired with some of the new catalog goodies. The base of my card is Smokey Slate Card Stock. The background is a piece of Costal Cabana that I embossed with the Beautifully Baroque Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I used the Deco Labels Collection Framelits Dies to cut out a piece of Smokey Slate and embossed that with the Perfect Polkadots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. A piece of Eastern Elegance Designer Series Paper is flagged on the bottom and slipped in behind the label. The image and greeting are both from the Love & Laughter Stamp Set and are stamped in Costal Cabana. I used my Paper Snips to cut out the dress and angled the piece of Whisper White that greeting is stamped on and tucked that behind the dress. I love the color combination and all of the texture the embossing folders give. Thanks for dropping by to see my Design Team card for this week’s Catherine & Cathy Create Here Comes the Bride challenge.

  • SUO Challenges & Display Project 3

    Yup, it was definitely a Monday yesterday! It was a little long and busy, not my favorite day. How was your day yesterday? I did get to come home and craft though so all is was good in the end. 🙂 Tonight I’m going out to dinner with my co-workers and that should be a lot of fun. I like them and I think we are having Mexican and I like that too! I have my third Display Stamper project for you at the end of the post so don’t forget to take a look, no cheating! LOL!

    Today’s post is my card for the SUO Challenges Design Team. This time around we have a Back to School theme for you…

    76 Back to School

    I don’t really have anything current that I could think of so I dusted off an oldie but a goodie! The base of my card is Pacific Point Card Stock. The background is a piece of Real Red that I embossed with the Alphabet Press Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Yes, I created the piece of notebook paper with my Stampin’ Write Markers and the “Vintage” Spiral Border Punch (a favorite of mine!). I used Melon Mambo and Pool Party as I thought they were the closest to actual notebook paper colors. All of the images are from the “Vintage” First Day Stamp Set. The A+ is punched out with the 1 1/2″ Circle Punch and backed with a piece of Gumball Green that is punched out with the 1 3/8″ Circle Punch. I used some Whisper White Bakers Twine on the tag and the apples are punched out with the 1/2″ Circle Punch. I really love the primary colors and the images in the set are still pretty neat. I also love that Alphabet Press EF! Thank you for taking some time to stop by and see my SUO Challenges Design Team card for the Back to School challenge. Head on over to the blog and see what my talented team mates have done and enter your project in the gallery. I hope you have a great day and don’t forget about the Display Stamper 3 project at the end!

    Now on to the good stuff! First up we have this week’s Paper Players Challenge. This week the lovely LeAnne has give us a very nice sketch…

    Paper Players #156

    I really like it! I also thought it would be perfect to use a new goodie that I have. The base of my card is Cherry Cobbler Card Stock. For the background I embossed a piece of Whisper White with the Northern Flurry Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The horizontal layer is a piece of paper from the Season of Style Designer Series Paper Stack* and I backed it with a piece of Old Olive. The brads are actually some “Vintage” Everyday Enchantment that I lightly sanded and heat embossed with Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Emboss Powder. The vertical Layer is one of the Season of Style Designer Journaling Tags*. They are designed for the new Divided Pages in the 2013 Holiday Catalog but I thought they might work for cards too. I backed it with a piece of Baked Brown Sugar and added two thin Strips of Champagne Glimmer Paper for some sparkle. I think the journaling tag works quite well on a card and did you notice, there is no stamping! Oh no! LOL! Thank you very much for stopping by to visit and see my Paper Players Card for this week’s sketch from LeAnne. Don’t forget to scroll down and see my Display Stamper card #2! Have a great day! 🙂

  • Pals Paper Arts 165, Sneak Peek & Display Project

    Good morning my awesome followers! How was your Saturday? Mine was very nice, I went into Manhattan to meet my friend Kim and we had lunch at the Boat House in Central Park and then had a nice relaxing meander through SoHo. Sometimes having no particular plan is the best plan! Here is a little picture taken from Bow Bridge of the lake. There were a lot of people out on the row boats yesterday.

    Bow Bridge Central Park Doi

    All in all a very nice day! For today’s post I have my Pals Paper Arts card for this week’s challenge and I also have the first of my Display Stamper Projects to share with you at the end of this post. First here is the sketch for this week’s Pals…

    PPA 165

    For the base of my card I used a piece of Smokey Slate Card Stock. The papers are from the Winter Frost Designer Series Paper Stack* and the one on the right is backed with a piece of Costal Cabana, I also flagged the piece of DSP on the right at the bottom. The image is from the Festive Flurry Stamp Set* and is stamped in Pool Party and cut out with the coordinating Festive Flurry Framelits Dies*. For the greeting I used one of the sets that I got from Convention,  the Tags 4 You Stamp Set*, stamped in Smokey Slate and punched out with the Label Bracket Punch*. Both the snowflake and the greeting are mounted to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I really love the colors in the Winter Frost DSP and all of the coordinating Framelits and Punches from the new 2013 Holiday are great! You can start placing your orders from the new Holiday Catalog this Thursday and also order a set of the new Thinlits Card Dies too! Thank you so much for stopping by to see my Pals Paper Arts card for this week’s sketch challenge. Don’t forget, after the supply list is the first of my Display Stamper projects from Convention.
