Splitcoast Creative Crew

Monday, Monday… back so soon I see! How was everyone’s weekend? Mine was pretty good. I didn’t get all of my projects done but I did get most of them. The weather was very nice here yesterday and I can sense the extra minutes of daylight we are getting each day on way back to glorious spring!

Today I’m posting two cards that I made for the Creative Crew over on Splitcoast. They kindly asked me if I would be a part of the crew for the next four months and I happily agreed. You can visit the challenge gallery here and upload your own cards. They also have a scrapbook challenge which I didn’t do this month but I will give a go next month!

My first card is all about Designer Series Paper. The challenge is to use a favorite designer series paper and convince you to love it too. The base of the card is Not Quite Navy Card Stock and the background is a simple piece of Very Vanilla. The vest is made from Parker’s Patterns Designer Series Paper. It is just a rectangle that I cut a “v” in and used the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch to make the arm holes. The bowtie is from the Dapper Dad Stamp Set and is stamped in Sahara Sand and the greeting is form the the Apothecary Art Stamp Set and is stamped in Not Quite Navy. What vest would be complete without some Naturals Designer Buttons?! It’s a really simple card and would also make a great Father’s Day card. I really do love the DSP, it’s got some nice masculine patterns and bold colors in it too!

The second card is all about SIP… stamps, ink and paper and that’s all I used on it. The base of the card is Rose Red Card Stock. Across the lower half is a piece of Very Vanilla that I stamped with the chevron stamps from the Oh, Hello Stamp Set in Rose Red and Pretty in Pink. The main panels also has images stamped from the Oh, Hello Stamp Set. The flowers are stamped in Rose Red and Pretty in Pink and the greeting in Rose Red. I backed it wait a piece of Pretty in Pink before adhering it to the card with SNAIL. Super simple, no Big Shot, no Punches just SIP!

There is also a third card that I made but I think you can take a look at that one when you go and check out the gallery! I hope that you enjoyed my first two cards for the Splitcoast Creative Crew. Thank you so much for stopping by and don’t forget to enter your card in this weeks “Love is in the Air” challenge from Ann over at the Paper Players! Have a very nice day!

Sentimental Indigo Ticket Wish B’day & Peek

A very good Sunday morning to you! I hope that the weekend is being good to you. I had a very nice time at my Holiday party last night, good food and fun people. Today’s post is for my friend Greg. It was his birthday a few days ago and I had a lot of fun playing with some new stuff to make his card. He reads my blog so I hope that he got the card already!

The base of the card is Island Indigo Card Stock. I used the 1″ Circle punch to round to opposing corners on the card and each one of the layers. The background is Fan Fair Designer Series Paper, I love the grid pattern with the script. The main stamped image and the Celebrate is from the Feeling Sentimental Stamp Set** and is stamped in Island Indigo on Very Vanilla. The greeting is from the Make a Wish Stamp Set* and is stamped in Crumb Cake on Very Vanilla. Both are backed by Island Indigo and adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I thought it needed a little something else so I stamped two of the tickets from the Take a Ticket Stamp Set in Island Indigo and punched them out with the Ticket Duo Builder Punch. They are adhered behind the main image with some SNAIL. Feeling Sentimental is definitely my favorite stamp set from Sale-A-Bration, I love the vintage feel and great images. I hope that you enjoyed Greg’s birthday card. Thank you for sharing some of your time with me today. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Happy Birthday Kim!

It’s Saturday and I survived my lengthy day at work yesterday/this morning! I’m so tired but off to Manhattan for the day. I can do it……………. oh, sorry… nodded off there for a second! LOL! Today’s post is for my wonderful, amazing, awesome friend Kim Doi. She is a great person and I consider myself very lucky to count her amongst my friends. She had seen a card that I made a while ago and said that she liked it so I filed away in my little brain and made a similar one for her. The base of the card is Basic Gray Card Stock. I used basic Gray for the 3D window frame too. Before adhering the 3D part to the base I punched out some Daffodil Delight with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch and adhered it down the left and right edges of the card. The 3D frame is adhered to the card base with Sticky Strip. On the inside the frame the background is a piece of World Spectacular Designer Series Paper. All of the stamped images are from the You’re Amazing Stamp Set. The elephant is stamped in Basic Gray and his hat in Raspberry Ripple. Both are cut out with Paper Snips and the hat and the elephant are adhered to each other and the DSP with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The two winner tickets are stamped in Raspberry Ripple and punched out with the Ticket Builder Duo Punch. A piece of Island Indigo Bakers Twine is strung across the top and the small tickets, stamped in Island Indigo and punched out with the Ticket Builder Duo Punch, are adhered with Multipurpose Glue. The greeting is stamped in Island Indigo and the corners are punched with the 1/2″ Circle Punch for the ticket effect. I used the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool to punch around the edge before adhering it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I hope that you like the card as much as Kim did. Thank you for coming by to see me today, I appreciate it. Have a great Saturday! 🙂

Fab Friday 07

A good Saturday morning to you all. I hope that you all survived Black Friday! Did you score any huge bargains? I don’t do Black Friday, I am not a person that likes lines of any kind, not that many of you do I’m sure. If I buy anything it’s online, from the comfort of my home. That being said I think I will dig out the Christmas Tree on Sunday morning and that way I may actually start decorating it! I have such aspirations to make all of the ornaments on it, I tried last year and then life just gets in the way! I’ll give it a go again this year and keep you up to date on my progress.

Today’s post is for Fab Friday. This time we have a sketch challenge…

I made a bunch of Holiday cards yesterday and today so I needed to make something else. I settled on a birthday card. The base of my card is So Saffron Card Stock. I took a piece of Whisper White cut to 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″ and stamped the greeting from the Bring on the Cake Stamp Set in Island Indigo. Along the bottom I used the Border Banter Stamp Set stamped once in Island Indigo and a second time in So Saffron. A piece of Island Indigo Ruffled Ribbon goes around the center and is adhered around the back with Sticky Strip. Some Stampin’ Dimensionals hold the panel to the base. I haven’t used the Cupcake Builder Punch to make a cupcake in a while and thought that it would be the perfect thing for the card. I punched it out in Island Indigo and So Saffron. I used the Create a Cupcake Stamp Set to stamp it and the adhered it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I think the card would work especially great for child but could also be used for an adult too. I hope you enjoyed my Fab Friday card. Thank you as always for your comments and for stopping by! Have a great day!

Happy Birthday…

To me! LOL! So, today is my birthday and I decided to be a ninny and make myself a card! I used some of my current favorite things and some of my favorite neutral colors. The base of the card is Basic Black Card Stock. I used the Fancy Fan Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on a piece of Basic Gray. Before I adhered it to the card I used a piece of Whisper White 1/4″ Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon with a Round Designer Ribbon Side across the card and adhered it to the back with some Sticky Strip. The happy birthday is form the Memorable Moments Stamp Set and Is stamped with VersaMark and heat embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I cut it out with the Labels Collection Framelits Dies. It is mounted with Stampin’ Dimensionals to a piece of Crumb Cake, also cut out with the Labels Framelits, that I pierced with the Festive Paper-Piercing Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool. The second greeting/image is from the Convention 2012 Stamp Set I Am… and is stamped and heat embossed the same as the first. For a little bling I used two Basic Jewels Rhinestones above and below the happy birthday. I hope that you enjoyed today’s card and thanks for visiting with me. Have a “Happy” Day!

Plum Rose Gumball Silhouettes Birthday

Good morning and happy Friday before a three day weekend! I have a very nice evening with my friend Sandy last night. We had some delicious Greek food for dinner and then we converted Wheel Mount and Wood Mount Stamps to Clear Mount. I will definitely used my “Wheel” stamps a lot more now that it will be easier to ink them up!

I wanted to take a minute to than Lesley from Freshly Made Sketches. I have an awesome new badge as I am no longer a Perfect Princess but a Perfect Prince! I love playing along with all of the lovely ladies every week and I was proud to display my badge before but am even prouder now! Thank you again so very much!

Today’s post is an ensemble that I created for a friends birthday. It consists of a card, box and initial magnet. The card starts off with a base of Rose Red Card Stock. I stamped the images from Summer Silhouettes Stamp Set in Rose Red, Wisteria Wonder, Perfect Plum and Gumball Green on Whisper White. Before I mounted the stamped piece of Whisper White to the card I used Sticky Strip to adhere a piece of Gumball Green 3/8″ Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon across the middle. The greeting is from the Perfect Punches Stamp Set and is stamped in Wisteria Wonder, punched out with the Extra Large Oval Punch and mounted to a piece of Wisteria Wonder that is punched out with the Decorative Label Punch and mounted to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Some butterflies form the Beautiful Wings Embosslit in Wisteria Wonder and Rose Red complete the card.

Next up we have the box that I created using my Simply Scored and some Rose Red and Gumball Green Card Stock. I stamped an image from the Summer Silhouettes Stamp Set in Perfect Plum twice across the middle. The paper bow is created using 1/2″ strips of Wisteria Wonder stamped with the happy birthday from the Family Reunion Stamp Set. I adhered a Vintage Faceted Designer Button with a Basic Jewels Rhinestone in the middle to the center of the bow. Another butterfly with some more Basic Jewels Rhinestones completes the box.

Finally we have the magnet. I purchased the magnet from a discount store. Some Whisper White Card Stock is stamped with another image from the Summer Silhouettes Stamp Set in Gumball Green. The letter N is from the Lovely Letters Alphabet and is stamped in Perfect Plum, punched out with the 1″ Square Punch and mounted to a piece of Rose Red that I punched out with the Curly Label Punch and used the Essential Paper-Piercing Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool along each side. Some more butterflies finish off the magnet. For some added interest I also stamped the tissue paper with the Summer Silhouettes Stamp set in Rose Red and Wisteria Wonder.

My friend loved her birthday card and gift and I hope that you enjoyed it too! Thank you for swinging by today and I hope that your Friday is a good one.

Paper Players #109 – Take 2!

Lets give this another try! Apparently on Sunday I suffered from a bout of Dyslexia! I read the this week’s Paper Players Challenge as Paper Piercing… for the rest of the world it said Paper Piecing! Thank you to Sandy for bringing it to my attention. That’s the thing about blog posts, once they are out there it’s done. Thank you to the Paper Players for removing my card from yesterday, this one we can keep I hope! 🙂

Once again thank you to Jaydee for choosing my card from last week! Now on to this week’s Paper Players Challenge. The wonderful Anne Marie has given us a PAPER PIECING (just off by an R!) CAS challenge…

When I finally read it correctly I thought hmm… I don’t think that I have ever done that, well I have now! The base of my card is Whisper White Card Stock. I stamped the two layer cake images from the Make A Cake Stamp Set in Basic Black on Patio Party Designer Series Paper and cut them out with my Paper Snips. I stamped the images again in Primrose Petals and used the Window Frames Collection Framelits Dies to cut it out And adhered the pieces to the stamped image with 2-Way Glue. I Paper-Pierced (well, I just had to :-)) the edge using the Festive Paper-Piercing Pack and the Paper-Piercing Tool. Then I cut three strips of Patio Party DSP, flagged the ends and adhered them to the card with SNAIL. The stamped image is adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used the Pennant Builder Punch to make the banner across the top. Some more Patio Party DSP was inserted halfway and punched out. The Whisper White Bakers Twine needed a little something on the ends so I used some retired Twitterpated Designer Buttons mounted with Mini Glue Dots. The pennants are adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the greeting from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set in Midnight Muse and cut it out with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies. A thin strip of Midnight muse is flagged and mounted behind it. I love the simplicity of the card and if you change the Primrose Petals out for another color you could easily use this for a guy’s birthday too. I hope you enjoyed this week’s Paper Players Challenge card – take 2 and thank you for enduring my Dyslexia from yesterday! Have an amazing day!

Gray Primrose I Am… Affection Birthday

Good morning and welcome to Saturday! What are all of you up to this weekend? I have the bridal shower today and a friend’s party tomorrow. I also have a ton of cards to make so I will be busy but in my favorite way! A few weeks ago it was my friend Danielle’s Birthday and here is what I made for her as a little gift set. The card and the box both use the Affection Collection Stamp Set, it is definitely one of my favorites from the Holiday Catalog. The base of the card is Basic Gray that I stamped in Basic Gray with the Distressed Dots Background Stamp. I was unable to go to Convention this year but a very good friend of mine was lucky enough to go and gave me the Convention Stamp Set I Am… and I love it. That is where the main greeting for the card comes from and it is stamped in Primrose Petals and cut out with the Labels Collection Framelits Dies. A piece of Vellum cut out with the Labels Collection Framelits is placed behind it and mounted to the card with Stampin Dimensionals on top of a piece of Primrose Petals that I used the Essentials Paper -Piercing Pack on and flagged the ends. The you are is also from that set and is stamped in Primrose Petals and cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies and mounted to a piece of Primrose Petals that is punched out with the Small Oval Punch. Two Basic Jewels Pearls on the top and bottom give a little bling. The Happy Birthday is from the From My Heart Stamp Set, stamped in Primrose Petals and cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies. A piece of Primrose Petals 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon is placed behind it. The winged heart is from the Affection Collection Stamp Set and is again stamped in Primrose Petals and a piece of Champagne Glimmer Paper punched out with the Small Heart Punch is adhered to the center with a Mini Glue Dot and a Stampin’ Dimensional holds it on the card.

Next up we have the box which is made using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool. The top of the box starts with a piece of Whisper White that is cut out with the Floral Frames Framelits Dies and Embossed with the Perfect Polkadots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Next up is a piece of Primrose Petals that is cut out with the Labels Collection Framelits Dies and I used the Festive Paper-Piercing Pack to pierce the edge. On top of that is a rosette that is made using the Simply Scored from a piece of Howlstooth and Scaringbone Designer Series Paper. A piece of Vellum stamped with the celebrate banner from the Priority Mail Host(ess) Stamp Set in Basic Gray and Punched out with the 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle Punch is placed under a duplicate of the wings from the card.

Finally we have the little initial magnet. I stamped some images from the Affection Collection Stamp Set in Basic Gray and Primrose Petals on Whisper White. The initial is from the Lovely Letters Alphabet Stamp Set and is stamped in Primrose Petals and punched out with the 1″ Square Punch. I punched a piece of Basic Gray out with the 1 1/4″ Square Punch to back it and adhered it to the Whisper White. It is all placed in a acrylic photo magnet. For a little extra coordination I stamped the tissue paper with coordinating stamps.

It seems to me like I tried to use as many different items as I could! I never really pay attention to the stuff I am using while I am creating the project but when I go to blog it I see all that I used. LOL! I hope that you enjoyed seeing Danielle’s Birthday gift set as much as did. Thank you very much for visiting and have a wonderful day! 🙂

Paper Players #108

A good Monday morning everyone, or at least I’m hoping that it turns out to be. I always try to start the week off as optimistic as possible! Fingers crossed that we all have good weeks from now on. My brother and his fiancé were up from PA this weekend. She had her hair and makeup trial and her second to last dress fitting. It was also her birthday yesterday so we had some red velvet cake, which is my favorite! Happy Birthday Erika!

Today’s post is for this week’s Paper Players Challenge. This week Ann has given us a color challenge…

I’m loving the colors! I decided that I would try to come up with a different kind of card. I love anything 3D so I did a card that has a framed front and folds flat and still fits inside a standard envelope. Another good part, it uses standard 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper. The base of the card is Crumb Cake Card Stock cut to 5 1/2″ x 9 1/2″ and scored at 1/2″, 1″, 4 3/4″ and 5 1/4″ with my Simply Scored. All of the stamped images are from the Papaya Collage Stamp Set. I cut a frame out of a piece of Very Vanilla and stamped the frame image in Not Quite Navy and cut a piece out of the card base the same size as the inside of the frame. Another piece of Very Vanilla is stamped a few times with the leaves image in Crumb Cake and mounted to inside. The bird and the butterflies are stamped in Cherry Cobbler and cut out with my Paper Snips. The bird is mounted to the leaves with Stampin Dimensionals and the butterflies with SNAIL. Two Basic Jewels Pearls on each one make the bodies. The greeting is from the Curly Cute Stamp Set and is stamped in Not Quite Navy and backed with a piece of Not Quite Navy Card Stock. The piece of Cherry Cobbler along the right side was cut with the Adorning Accents Edgelits Dies and a thin piece of Comfort Café Designer Series Paper was added on top. I am really liking this card and it wasn’t to difficult to make. I hope that you enjoyed this weeks Paper Players Challenge card and that you will be having a great day and fantastic week! Thank you for visiting!

Red Pool Preserved Hearts Card & Box

Hello everyone and happy Saturday! Who doesn’t love the weekend?! I, as usual, have lots to do. I think if there were two of me I might be able to get everything done but I’m sure that most of us feel that way. My perfect solution would be never having to sleep again! Anyway, on to today’s post which was a birthday gift for my boss Nancy. It’s a card and a gift box that held an iPod nano. I love being able to make a box that perfectly fits whatever is going inside. The base of the card is Naturals White Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Pool Party with the Chevron Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for the background. Again with my Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool, I know, I just can’t get enough of it. It gives that little extra detail that is nice and bold yet subtle at the same time. I used a piece of Real Red and Pool Party, flagged the ends and pierced both and added a piece of Real Red 1/8″ Taffeta Ribbon to the mix and adhered them to the card with some Sticky Strip. The jar and lid are from the Friendship Preserves Stamp set and are stamped in Pool Party and Real Red. I used the coordinating Cannery Framelits Dies to cut them out. The hearts are Real Red and I used the Fashionable Hearts Embosslit to cut them out. They are all adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from the One in a Million Stamp Set and is stamped in Real Red, punched out with the Scallop Oval Punch and backed with a piece of Real Red punched out with the Extra Large Oval Punch. For a little extra detail I “threaded” a Brights Collection Designer Button with Whisper White Card Stock and adhered it to the card with a Mini Glue Dot. The box contains the same elements and I used my Simply Scored Scoring Tool to create it. I think Nancy liked the box and card more than the iPod and I hope that you enjoyed it too. Thank you so very much for checking in with me today. Have an awesome Saturday! 🙂
