  • Pals Paper Arts 206

    Well, I had a very nice Saturday and I hope that you did too! I got up and did some crafty things this morning. I finished mountain all of my new Stamp Sets, unfortunately the organizing didn’t happen. Around 10:00am I left the house to got and get a haircut, stopped by my parents and put a screen protector on mum’s new iPad Air. It was so nice out that I had to take a ride in the convertible and work on my car tan! LOL! I came home and made some cards, ran to Target and watched a little TV. This morning I’m off to Manhattan! I’m going to go and see my fiend Kim. We are going to go on a little adventure and then to see Maleficent. It’s supposed to be another beautiful day! Yeah! I’ll have some pictures for you all tomorrow!

    I played with some more goodies and made my card for this week’s Pals Paper Arts color challenge…

    PPA 206

    An interesting color combo don’t you think? My card begins with a base of Whisper White Card Stock and for the background I used a piece of Vellum Card Stock. The panel is a piece of Baked Brown Sugar. I used the Striped Scallop Thinlit to cut out some So Saffron and adhered it to the panel with 2-Way Glue. I will tell you that like the Expressions Thinlits from the Holiday Catalog I recommend using a piece of wax paper between the card stock and die to help with easy release! The flower, bird and greeting are from the Choose Happiness Stamp Set. The flower is stamped in Pacific Point and cut out with my Paper Snips, the bird in So Saffron and also cut out, finally the greeting in Pacific Point and the ends flagged. I used the small stars from the Be the Star Stamp Set, stamped them in Pacific Point and cut them out with the Stars Framelits. Stampin’ Dimensionals hold all of the elements to the card. I love the eclectic feel of the card and the Striped Scallop Thinlit creates a really cool background for all of the them. There you have my card for this week’s Pals Paper Arts color challenge loaded with new stuff! I hope that you enjoyed the card and that you all have a great Sunday! Thanks for stopping by and I’ll see you tomorrow! 🙂

  • Freshly Made Sketches 139

    Hi there! I had a lovely Friday! I had to go out and make some deliveries in the morning and then I cam back to work for an hour and then left at 1:30! I stopped by and had lunch with Heather and then came home and talked to my people downstairs. They are having a baby and I have to move. The good news is that I found an apartment very close to where I am! I will be packing and our friend Andrew will be helping! I really don’t like moving but I’m looking forward to a new adventure. I also hope to be able to set up a better craft space in the new apartment. I went to dinner last night with Bill and Anthony and we got some Red Mango Fro Yo, it’s Bill’s birthday on Sunday and he is being healthy! All in all a very good day. I even had some time when I got home to make a quick card!

    That card that I made is for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge from Rita…

    Freshly Made Sketches #139

    And yes, the card uses all new goodies! The base is Sahara Sand Card Stock and the background is a piece of Blackberry Bliss that I embossed with the Large Polka Dot Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Those sparkly flagged pieces are the new Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper. The pictures definitely don’t do it justice, it’s really sparkly with hints of pink, blue and green in it. I used the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch and a piece of Hello Honey to create my tag. A thin strip of the Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack goes across the bottom and a piece of Natural 5/8″ Chevron Ribbon tied with a piece of White Baker’s Twine goes through the hole. The feathers and greeting are form the A Happy Hooray Stamp Set, the feathers are stamped in Tangelo Twist and the greeting in Blackberry Bliss. I used my Paper Snips to cut the feathers out and the Hexagon Punch for the greeting. The tag, feathers and greeting are adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. A fun card with some cool elements and that Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper is just beautiful! That’s my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I hope that you enjoyed the card and your look at some more new products. Thank you for spending a little time with me today! Enjoy your Saturday! I’m off to mount the rest of my stamps! 🙂

  • Fab Friday 43

    Finally, it’s Friday! Woo-hoo! I had a nice day at work yesterday. My friend and co-worker Danielle and I went out for lunch for the first time ever! We had pizza and a nice chat. It rained here in the morning but cleared up around noon and it’s supposed to be beautiful through the weekend! I came home after work and busted open my rather large box from Stampin’ Up! containing some serious new Catalog goodies! I had a nice fun few crafty hours and then I remembered that it was time to select the blog candy winner! Conveniently Andrew was here so we wrote all 66 names down on pieces of paper and put them into a bowl. He insisted on doing the selection the old fashioned way! I mixed them up really good and he selected one. Drumroll please… and the winner is Karen!! Please click the contact me link above and send me your address so I can mail your new Stamp Set out to you! Thank you all for leaving the comments. It meant more than you can know to read them all. You truly are the best people in the world! In the end I am the real winner!! 🙂

    Not only is today a good Friday because it was blog candy day, but it’s also a Fab Friday week! This week we have a fun sketch for you…

    Fab Fri 43 6-06-2014

    I did manage to mount some of the stamps and unwrap some of the accessories so that’s what I used on my card. The base of the card is Bermuda Bay Card Stock and my background is a piece of Baked Brown Sugar that I embossed with the Tiny Triangles Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The strip across the middle is Crisp Cantaloupe and both the background and the strip are adhered with Fast Fuse Adhesive. The “HEY” is cut out using the new Little Letters Thinlits from Bermuda Bay and each letter is propped onto the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Under that, I stamped the other part of my greeting from the And Many More Stamp Set in Bermuda Bay. The three arrows on the right hand side are punched out from Pistachio Pudding, Coastal Cabana and Strawberry Slush with the new What’s Up Punch. To finish off the card, I used a strip of Washi Tape from the Everyday Adventure Project Life Accessory Pack and placed it above my greeting. I love all the geometric shapes on the card and yes, I had a ton of fun with some of my new goodies! I hope you enjoyed my Design Team card for the Fab Friday sketch challenge. Head on over to the blog to see the rest of the designers projects and upload yours to the gallery! Have a Fantastic Friday peeps! 🙂

  • Mojo 348

    Thursday! I know, I do the countdown starting on Wednesday every week almost. Some weeks I’m just more ready for the weekend than others. I’m especially looking forward to this afternoon when my Box ‘O New Stampin’ Goodies arrives! It is going to be a long day! LOL! They said rain yesterday but it didn’t start until after midnight so it was another nice day here. A bit more humid but still sunny and we are supposed to have a nice weekend too! I will get into Manhattan this weekend! I hope! I went and spoke to my neighbor after work for a bit, come home and made a card and managed to run to Target. A pretty productive evening, those are always the best aren’t they?!

    My post for today is for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge. This week’s sketch is provided by Julee Tilman…

    Mojo348

    This card went through many changes on it’s way to what it finally became! Sometimes that happens, right?! The base is Basic Black Card Stock. My background is a piece of Lost Lagoon on the left that I embossed with the Alphabet Press Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and a strip of adhesive cork sheet on the right. The center panel is a piece of Modern Medley Designer Series Paper backed with a piece of Basic Black. Across the bottom is a piece of 7/8″ Cotton Ribbon that I flagged the right side of. I used some Fast Fuse Adhesive to adhere it to the panel. The greeting is from the Label Love Stamp Set and is stamped in Lost Lagoon and punched out with the Artisan Label Punch. I cut out another piece of adhesive cork sheet with the Circles Collection Framelits and backed it with a piece of Crumb Cake. The label and circle are adhered together with Fast Fuse too. Finally I punched out some stars with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack from Lost Lagoon and adhered then to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I think that the Lost Lagoon and the cork give the card a vintage feel and that this would make a great masculine birthday card! And there you have my card for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch challenge. I really hope that you enjoyed the card, I want to thank you for coming by and I hope that you all have a terrific Thursday! Oh, don’t forget to come back tomorrow to see who wins the blog candy! 🙂

  • Paper Craft Crew 96

    Ahh… Wednesday, halfway there people! Yesterday was a another gorgeous day, sunny and warm. We did get a little rain last night, but that’s fine. I came home after work and had to make some cards for Danielle at work. Two Father’s Day and one Birthday. I’ll post them sometime next week after they are given to the respective recipients! As an added bonus Andrew stopped by, it was nice to catch up with him. The fundraiser has kicked into high gear and I think he said that we have 72 baskets so far! Pretty impressive! My new Catalog order should be here tomorrow!! Wee!! I know, I have no patience, I had to talk myself out of next day! LOL!

    It’s Wednesday so it’s time for this week’s Paper Craft Crew challenge. Here is this week’s sketch…

    PCCCS096 Sketch 6-04-2014

    Today’s card uses all new products from the new 2014-2015 Catalog! I started off with a base of Sahara Sand Card Stock and my background is a piece of paper from the Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack. The tag is created with the Angled Tag Topper Punch from a piece of Mossy Meadow and I used the Eclectic Paper-Piercing Pack to pierce around the edge. My flower and greeting are from the So Very Happy Stamp Set, the flower is stamped in Blackberry Bliss and punched out with the Blossom Punch. I sponged some Crushed Curry Ink in the middle and used my Bone Folder to curl the petals. The greeting is heat embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder, cut out with the Word Bubbles Framelits and pierced again with the Eclectic Paper-Piercing Pack. My hearts are punched out with the heart from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack from Blackberry Bliss. All of the elements are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I keep saying how much I like the paper in the Moonlight DSP Stack because there are so many different patterns as you can see from this piece and the green tag really makes the flower pop right off the card, too. So that’s my Design Team card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge! Go over to the blog to see what the rest of the Design Team has done with the sketch and show us your creativity by adding your card to the gallery! Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday! 🙂

  • SUO Challenges 98

    WOW! What can I say! You are all AMAZING! The wonderful, kind, sweet comments that you all left yesterday made that the best Monday EVER!! I really could not hope to know a better bunch of people! You really did make my day! People at work kept asking my why I was smiling all day! I said because there are some really awesome people out there! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

    So yes, my day was wonderful, despite my jobs attempts to thwart it! Work was very busy like it always is. I went to my parents for dinner and then ran to BestBuy to get mom a new iPad Air. She has the first generation one and it was well past it’s prime. I set it up and came home and crafted for a bit, the perfect end to a perfect Monday! Did you all place your orders? I did! 🙂

    As for the blog candy, I will choose the winner on Friday! Thanks to all 55 of you that left comments! And yes, I replied to every one! 🙂

    Oh, before I forget, here is the Holiday Carry-Over list. There are some really good ones on there, I was very happy to see that both snowflake sets and the Framelits made it! Click here to download a PDF of it so you have it handy!

    One last thing, if you scroll down past the products at the ned of the post you can see the Hello Kitty card that I made for my boss to give to her niece.

    Now on to today’s post which is my Design Team card for the SUO Challenges blog. This time we ask you to Stamp in the Background. That could be a background stamp or a pattern that you create with stamps. I’m sure you knew that though!

    I chose to use the Work of Art Stamp Set. The card base is Whisper White Card Stock. I stamped a rainbow with the Work of Art Stamp Set using Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point and Rich Razzleberry. I backed it with a piece of Gumball Green and adhered it to the base. The greeting is from the Love You to the Moon Stamp Set and is stamped in Gumball Green and cut out with the Chalk Talk Framelits. Stampin’ Dimensionals hold it in place and that’s my card! Very simple but nice and bright and colorful! This card would cheer up anyone’s day, don’t you think?! It would also be a good card to make a bunch of and have on hand! And that’s my SUO Challenges card for our Stamping in the Background challenge. Take a little click over to the blog and see what the rest of the Design Team has done and let’s see what you can do, upload your project to the gallery! Thank you so very much for coming by today. I hope you enjoyed the cards and that you have a wonderful Tuesday! 🙂

  • Blog Post 1000, Paper Players 198 & the New Catalog!!!!

    Yup! You read that correctly! Today is my 1000 blog post! I can’t believe that it has been that many! I started my blog on August 6, 2011 before I became a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. I had seen a show on PBS where they made a step card and I thought I can do that. I went out the next day and bought some supplies and made the card. Here is that card…

    JKCards 1st Blog Post

    I was so proud, I sent it to my Grandmother for her Birthday and she still has it! The first challenge that I entered was Pals Paper Arts 107! I made a card using my first Stampin’ Up! Set. It was a retired set called Punch Box Terrific Tags and it came with the stamps and a punch in a metal box. Here is a picture of that card…

    PPA107-WM

    Wasn’t my stamping and photography great back then?!?! I joined Stampin’ Up! in September of 2011 and started to use exclusively Stampin’ Up! products shortly after that. I decided that today for the first part of my post I would share with you some of my favorites from the past three years. Here they are…

    IMG_2255-impJAI181CCC DT 003IMG_2521-impIMG_2757-impIMG_2790-impIMG_2659-impIMG_0099-imp

    Yes, that’s a lot of cards, but when you think about it for 1000 posts (each post has at least one card, some more!) it’s not really that many! LOL! I am lucky enough to be a part of some amazing blog teams with some of the most creative people out there. The best part of all of this is definitely the friends that I have made. One of the first blogs that I followed was Mary Fish and I got to meet her last year at convention. She is even nicer in person that I could have ever imagined! There are so many other people that I look up to and now can call friends. Brian King and I speak almost every day. I had the most amazing time last September when I went to visit him in Atlanta. We went Zip-Lining and it’s something that I will never forget. Last but certainly not least, all of you that I get to “speak” to every day. You are the reason that I do this and you make it so much fun!

    Before I get to today’s regularly scheduled post since it’s a milestone day I think we need some Blog Candy!! Leave a comment on today’s post and I will send you one of my favorite sets from the new catalog, A Happy Hooray! It has a feather in it so of course it’s a favorite. And who knows, there might even be some more goodies in with it!!

    Now we get to today’s regular post which is for this week’s Paper Players. My talented friend Sandy has a wedding theme for us…

    Paper Players #198

    I decided that I would go for a very non-traditional card. It starts off with a base of Basic Black Card Stock. The background is Very Vanilla and I used the Mr. & Mrs. Stamp with my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker to stamp just the Mr. & Mrs.! My ampersand is from the Label Card Thinlits Dies and is cut out from some Gold Foil Sheet. Before I adhered the background to the base I used some Sticky Strip to hold a strip of the Gold Sequin Trim across the middle. Up top is another piece of Gold Foil Sheet  under a piece of Red Glimmer Paper that I cut out with the Hearts Collection Framelits. On top of that is a piece of Baked Brown Sugar that I stamped with the Dictionary Background Stamp in Memento Tuxedo Black. The heart in the center is cut out with the same Framelits and Stampin’ Dimensionals hold it over the Gold. Finally the banner is stamped with one of the stamps from the “Vintage” Best of Love Stamp Set in Real Red and I flagged the ends before two more Stampin’ Dimensionals adhere it to the card. I think it’s a very fun card with a slightly vintage feel to it. The sparkle from the heart and the shine from the gold make it fun! And there is my Paper Players card for this week’s Wedding challenge from Sandy! I want to thank all of you for coming along on this journey with me. Your visits and comments make all of this possible! Whether you have been here since the beginning or just recently joined me I hope that I continue to inspire you and I look forward to the next 1000 posts!

I hope that I can give you some ideas on how to use our featured stamp set Something for Baby and accessory the Hamburger Box Die. The post has lots of pictures that I have taken during the process of making the projects so sit back relax and enjoy!

    First up is a fun card/tag/pocket! It can be any or all of the previously mentioned! You’ll see what I mean in a minute. I started off with some Crisp Cantaloupe Card Stock that I cut to 6 1/2″ x 4″. I used my Simply Scored to score the card stock on the long side at 1 1/2″ and 4 1/2″.

    I ran some Sticky Strip down the flap after folding it and adhered it together to form a pocket. A Tea Lace Paper Doily is adhered to the front and around the back with SNAIL. Next I used my 3/4″ Circle Punch to notch out the top.

    All of the stamped images are form the Something For Baby Stamp Set and are stamped in Pistachio Pudding, So Saffron and Baked Brown Sugar. I used the Baby’s First Framelits to cut them out and they are adhered with Multi-Purpose Glue to the pocket.

    The piece of Whisper White that I slipped inside is cut out with the Banners Framelits and a small hole is punched in the top.

    I made a reinforcement for the hole and the threaded some Crisp Cantaloupe Thick Bakers Twine through and tied it in a knot. The greetings on the onesie and the tag are from the Something To Say Stamp Set and are stamped in Baked Brown Sugar. A Mini Glue Dot in the center at the bottom of the pocket keeps the tag from going all the way through. It was a really fun card to make and I love the colors together!

    Up next is a coordinating box that you could use for favors or to give a little gift to someone. I made the box using the Hamburger Bigz XL Die and some Crisp Cantaloupe Card Stock. My fellow blog tour mate Jen Arkfeld has a great video on how to make it easier to put the box together, you can check that out HERE. Before I assembled my box I cut a circle out of the top of it with the Circles Collection Framelits.

    A piece of Window Sheet is cut to cover the hole and I used Opaque White Staz-On to stamp the Sentiment from the Baby, We’ve Grown Stamp Set.

    After I assembled the box I used a greeting from the Something For Baby Stamp Set, stamped in So Saffron and cut out with the Baby’s First Framelits. A piece of Pistachio Pudding that I cut out with the Delicate Doilies Large Sizzlit goes behind it for a little decoration on the front. I’m loving the Hamburger Box Die and the cut out in the top gives it a little extra interest don’t you think?!

    My last project is a card. I love when you can use a set that is specific for one thing for something completely different. The card starts off with a base of Coastal Cabana Card Stock and the background is a piece of Maritime Designer Series Paper. I cut out a piece of Real Red with the Starburst Framelits and then embossed it with the Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

    Creation Station Inst 9

    The tag is created with the Angled Tag Topper Punch and I stamped my greeting from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set in Real Red across the bottom. My ties are from the Something For Baby Stamp Set and are stamped in Coastal Cabana, Real Red and Night of Navy. The Baby’s First Framelits cut them out and some Stampin’ Dimensionals adhere them to the tag.

  • Modern Gold Feather Hello

    Wow that was a long short week! Work was crazy busy yesterday, lots of last minute things to do. I also helped Nancy with her bike. Her and Nicole have their 75 mile bike ride today. I told her that I will miss her! LOL! I can’t even imagine doing that. I stop and think whether I want to drive 75 miles let alone ride! More power to them and I wish them the best of luck! I have lots of projects to make today, tomorrow is the Creation Station blog tour so be sure and come back for that. I also have to get ready for Monday! 😛

    I was sitting at my desk last night browsing through the new Catalog and I keep seeing this one project in there that I love so I decided to do a little CASE of it. The card starts off with a base of Crumb Cake Card Stock and the background is a piece of Gold Fancy Foil Designer Vellum. I used two strips of paper from the Modern Medley Designer Series Paper Pack for the flags. A piece of Gold Foil Sheet has some holes punched out with a standard hole punch and happy accident, they lined up nicely with the dots on the DSP! The two feathers are Island Indigo and Basic Black, they are made using the Ovals Collection Framelits and my trusty Paper Snips. I tucked some Gold Sequin Trim behind them and adhered them to the card with Mini Glue Dots. My greeting is from the Six Sided Sampler Stamp Set and is heat embossed in White Stampin’ Emboss Powder on Calypso Coral and punched out with the Hexagon Punch. I love the mix of colors with the gold and yes, I’m a bit obsessed with feathers! But you all know that! I hope you got some inspiration from today’s card and that you enjoyed it. Many thanks for stopping by and have a super Saturday! 🙂

  • Just Add Ink 216

    Happy Friday peeps! For a 4 day week it sure seemed like 5! It was a gorgeous day here yesterday, sunny and cool. Work was busy, lots of last minute stuff to get done. I came home after work and yes, crafted for a little while. I also had some time to relax and just watch some TV. I have no big plans for the weekend, that’s good. I would like to try to go into the city at some point but I’m not sure if that will happen. I have a big milestone coming up on the blog on Monday, more details to follow!

    I haven’t played along with the Just Add Ink challenge in a while so I went over to the blog to see what this week’s challenge was. It’s just add watercolor, sounds good to me!

    I decided on a simple collage style card and I got to use one of my favorite little birds again! The card starts off with a base of Whisper White Card Stock. The background is a piece of Pool Party that I embossed using the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and the Texture Boutique. They have had some issues with the Texture Boutique, it doesn’t emboss as deeply as it should. They are going to be sending out new plates to use with it stating in June. I find that the subtle embossing is sometimes neat so that’s what I did here. I stamped the Off the Grid Stamp in Versa-Mark on Watercolor Paper and then heat embossed it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. My Aqua Painter and some Crisp Cantaloupe Ink provide the color. I then used my Paper Snips to cut out the stamped image and some Fast Fix Adhesive holds it to the card. Yes, I think I have lost it, fussy cutting the Off the Grid Stamp, but I really like the way it looks! Three hexagon cut out from Coastal Cabana with the Hexagon Hive Thinlit are adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The little bird is from the Nature’s Hello Stamp Set and is stamped in Soft Suede and cut out with the Backyard Basics Framelits. Stampin’ Dimensionals hold him in place too. A few sequins scattered around finish the card. I love the mix of colors and the simple eclectic feel of the card and hope that you do too! Many thanks for your visiting with me today to see my card for this week’s Just Add Ink challenge. Have an amazing Friday my friends! 🙂
