  • Primrose Lacy Papillon Fan Hello

    Happy Thursday! I got my box-o-stampin’ goodies yesterday! It was just like Christmas… only better! Today’s card was made from some of the new stuff that I got yesterday. I started with a base of Primrose Petals Card Stock. I used my Big Shot and ran a piece of Very Vanilla Card Stock through with the Fancy Fan Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Before I adhered it to the front of the card I took a piece of Primrose Petals 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon and wrapped it around the sides and adhered it with Sticky Strip. The butterflies are from the Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set and are stamped in Primrose Petals Ink. I used the coordinating Elegant Butterfly Punch to punch them out. The Hello is from the Lacy & Lovely Stamp Set and is also stamped in Primrose Petals Ink and cut out with my Paper Snips. The teeny tiny label is from the Lovely Little Labels Stamp Set, also stamped in Primrose Petals Ink, and punched out with the Little Labels Punch Pack. All of the stamped items are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love the simplicity and elegance of the card. The Fancy Fan embossing really helps to make the images pop. Thank you for checking in with me and have an amazing day!

  • Mojo 244

    Good morning and happy Wednesday! Half way there kiddies! I am super happy today because my new catalog order is coming this afternoon. I can’t wait to play with some new stamps! 🙂 Today’s card is for this weeks Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. The sketch is provided by Julee Tilman…

    Everything on today’s card is from the new 2012-2013 Stampin’ Up! Catalog. I started with a base of Very Vanilla Card Stock and added a piece of Baja Breeze on top. Before I adhered it to the card I took a piece of Soft Suede 3/8″ Taffeta Ribbon and wrapped it around the sides and adhered it with some Sticky Strip. I used one of the new Naturals Designer Buttons and tied some Linen Thread in a bow and adhered it with a Mini Glue Dot. The strip of Designer Series Paper is Comfort Café and I punched some Soft Suede with the Scallop Trim Border Punch and placed it behind the DSP and also behind the main image. The backing for the main image is Midnight Muse. I used the Perfect Pennants Bigz L Die to cut out the scalloped circle in Soft Suede. The stamp is from the Layered Labels Stamp Set and is stamped in Midnight Muse and cut out with the Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies. I stamped it again in Baja Breeze and used the 1″ Circle Punch to punch out the create. The greeting is from the Itty Bitty Banners Stamp Set and is stamped in Cajun Craze and cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies. The backing was also cut out using the Bitty Banners Framoelits Dies. I hope that you like this weeks Mojo Monday Card and thank you for taking a look. Have a great day! 🙂

  • Paper Players #98

    Hello everyone and a good Monday morning to you. I hope that you all had a great weekend, I know I did. I had two meetings with friends about making invitations and my brother and his fiancée stopped by and picked their wedding invitations. I had a nice crafty Sunday! Today’s card is for this weeks Paper Players Challenge. This weeks host is Jaydee and she has given us a theme challenge…

    Summertime! As soon as I saw it I thought what says summertime better than a pinwheel! The base of the card is Daffodil Delight Card Stock. I ran a piece of Real Red Card Stock through the Big Shot using the Perfect Polkadots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The pinwheel is made from a 3 1/4″ square piece of Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper. I used a Brights Collection 3/16″ Brad to secure all of the wings to the center. A piece of wooden dowel makes the handle and I tied a piece of Island Indigo Ruffled Ribbon to the middle. The greeting is from the Fabulous Phrases Stamp Set and is stamped in Rich Razzleberry. I used the new Bitty Banners Framelits Dies to cut it out. I adhered everything to the card with some Mini Glue Dots. It’s a relatively simple card to make and I love all of the bright colors.  I hope that you enjoyed today’s card and thank for stopping by. Have a great Monday! 🙂

  • Burgundy Artichoke Vermillion Old & New

    Good morning and happy Sunday to you all! I had a very nice day in the city yesterday. It was a little rainy in the morning but I got to drive with the top down in the convertible on the way home. 🙂 Today’s card is a simple card that would be a great masculine card and with a sentiment change could be for anything. I used one of my favorite stamps, the Young Vermillion Wood Mount À la Carte**. He is retired but he’s still a good one. He’s stamped in Bravo Burgundy and mounted on a piece of Bravo Burgundy Card Stock. The leaves image is from the Lovely As A Tree Wood Mount Stamp Set and is stamped in Always Artichoke and mounted on a piece of Always Artichoke Card Stock. I used one of the new Naturals Designer Buttons and tied it with some retired Natural Hemp Twine**. I saw the idea for the way to tie the button on Pinterest. It’s backed by some more Always Artichoke Card Stock and adhered to the card with Sticky Strip for extra staying power. The background is Crumb Cake embossed with the Houndstooth Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and that is mounted to the base which is Bravo Burgundy. The greeting is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Wood Mount Stamp Set and is stamped in Always Artichoke and punched out with the Word Window Punch and the re-punched to make it shorter. I love the colors and the little bird and will miss him now that he is gone! I hope that you like today’s card and thank you for stopping by, have a great day!

  • CCMC 204 Up, Up & Away Birthday

    Good morning everyone, happy Saturday! What kind of plans do you all have for the Weekend? I’m off to the city today for a bit to see a friend and do some consulting. I love going to Manhattan! Today’s card is for this weeks Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This week we have a color challenge…

    I am a big fan of the 2011-2013 In-Colors and Early Espresso was one of the first colors I got when I joined Stampin’ Up! I was also a little inspired by the new layout of the Create with Connie and Mary blog. I made a 3D window card using some 12″ x 12″ Wisteria Wonder Card Stock cut to 5 1/2″ x 12″. It is scored at 1/2″, 3 1/2″, 4″, 7″, 8″ and 11″. The windows are cut out of the two larger sides so when you fold it the middle is the back of the card. The best thing about this card is that it folds flat and fits in a standard medium envelope. The clouds in the background were made using the Cupcake Builder Punch. The frosting makes great clouds! I stamped the birds from the Up, Up & Away Stamp Set in Early Espresso. The balloons are stamped in Calypso Coral and Lucky Limeade and the baskets are stamped in Early Espresso. On two of the baskets I used tiny pieces of Stampin’ Dimensionals to give them a little more depth. The greeting is stamped in Early Espresso too and the flags are stamped in Wisteria Wonder. I thought the card need a little bling so I used 4 of the Basic Jewels Rhinestones on the four corners of the greeting.I love these 3D cards and hope that you enjoyed it too. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to pay me a visit! Have an awesome Saturday!!

  • Mojo 243 and Sneak Peek

    Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope that your first day back to work after that nice three day weekend wasn’t too bad. I am constantly just trying to get through to Friday each week! Today’s card is for this weeks Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. Julee Tilman has provided this weeks sketch and it asks round or square…

    I always choose the square one, I will have to give the round one a try soon. The base of my card is Whisper White Card Stock cut to 8 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ and the scored at 4 1/4″ and folded. The background uses the Texture Plates Backgrounds 1*** and is Baja Breeze Card Stock. I used some Patio Party Designer Series Paper** for the argyle strip and the hearts. The flagged ends are made just using my Paper Snips and a ruler (I am way too anal to eyeball anything!). The heart piece of DSP is mounted on a piece of Primrose Petals* Card Stock. The greetings are from the Priority Mail Host(ess)** Stamp Set and are stamped in Midnight Muse* and Primrose Petals* Ink. The happy birthday is punched out using the Curly Label Punch and the eat cake is punched with the Postage Stamp Punch. I cut out two circles, one in Midnight Muse* and one in Summer Starfruit*, with my Circle Scissor Pro***. They are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I hope that you like the card and have your lists ready to place your orders for items from the new catalog starting this Thursday at 2:00pm EST, I know I do! Thank you for dropping in and have a fantastic day!

  • Paper Players #97 and Summer Smooches

    Good morning everyone! I hope that everyone had a safe and happy Memorial Day Weekend. Mine was good, I went to a BBQ and got to see a lot of my friends so that was pretty awesome. Thanks to Brian & Kim for hosting and for the delicious food. 🙂

    Today’s card is for this weeks Paper Players Challenge. LeAnne has given us this sketch to work with…

    In the spirit of the fun weekend that I had I decided to do a bright and colorful card. The base of my card is Daffodil Delight Card Stock. I took two pieces of Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper** and used those for the top part of the background. The bottom half is Bashful Blue and is embossed with the Perfect Polkadots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I used my Circle Scissor Pro*** to cut out a piece of Tangerine Tango Card Stock and another piece of Summer Smooches DSP** for the center. The butterfly is cut from the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz L Die and the Beautiful Wings Embosslit. The body of the butterfly is a paper bead also made from Summer Smooches DSP** and coated with Crystal Effects, it’s adhered with Mini Glue Dots. For the antennae I used a piece of Hemp Twine***. The flower is a 1″ Circle Punch of Tempting Turquoise and the middle circle is part of the eye from the Owl Builder Punch in Island Indigo. The leaves are made using the 1/2″ Circle punch and reinserting the paper to make the leaf shape. The greeting is form the Fabulous Phrases Stamp Set and is stamped in Rich Razzleberry. The buds are punched form Rich Razzleberry using the small circle from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack and the leaves are Lucky Limeade and are also made with the same punch and technique mentioned above. The greeting is adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the buds with Mini Glue Dots. I think the bright colors fit in perfectly with weather that we had out here on Long Island this weekend. I hope that you enjoy this weeks Paper Players Challenge card and thank you so much for stopping by. Have a great day! 🙂

  • Comfort Café Bead Pinwheel Postage Thanks and Sneak Peek

    Good morning and Happy Memorial Day! I hope that you all have some fun outdoor activities planned today with family and friends. It looks like it may be a nice day here today, hopefully it will stay that way! I went over to Stamp with Sandy the other night and we made paper beads and pinwheels. Today’s card features both of those items and another sneak peek. The base of the card is Soft Suede with a piece of Baja Breeze added as a plain background. The piece of Designer Series Paper in the middle is Comfort Café** from the new catalog. I cut it out with the new Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies** and my Big Shot. The pinwheel is made using a piece of First Edition Designer Series Paper. It is cut to 3 1/2″ square and scored diagonally from corner to corner using the Simply Scored with the Diagonal Plate. You then cut up each of the score lines leaving about 1/2″ in the center. Then you punch holes in the right hand side of each of the flaps with the 1/16″ Circle Punch and one in the middle. You take a brad and go around in a circle attaching all of the flaps and then put it through the middle and you have your pinwheel. I cut a thin strip of Soft Suede Card Stock for the stick and used some Mini Glue Dots to adhere it to the front of the card. The butterfly is made using the Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die and Midnight Muse* Card Stock. The body of the butterfly is a paper bead made with some more First Edition Designer Series Paper. To make the bead you cut out an 8″ long by 1″ wide triangle and wrap the large end around a toothpick and roll it a little and then use Tombo Multipurpose Glue to adhere the rest of the length which gives you the bead shape. After it has dried for a while you use a paintbrush to coat it with a layer of Crystal Effects to give it the shine and make it a little more durable. It is adhered to the butterfly with a Mini Glue Dot and to the Card With a Stampin’ Dimensional. The greeting is from the Pretty Postage Stamp Set. I used the 1″ Square Punch to punch it out and then the 3/16″ Corner Rounder to round the corners. I then punched out a piece of Midnight Muse* with the Curly Label Punch for the backing, it is also adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I hope that you enjoyed today’s card and that it inspired you to try a pinwheel or to make a paper bead. Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great day! 🙂

  • CCMC 203 and Sneak Peek

    Hello everyone! I hope that you are having a nice weekend. It was in the 80’s here today and I took a ride in the convertible and Winston went to the groomers and I spent a lot of time crafting today! For me, it was a great day! Today’s card is for this weeks Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This week we have a sketch challenge…

    I wanted to use some cool tones so I went with Midnight Muse* and the Basic Grey from the Twitterpated Designer Series Paper. The base of the card is Midnight Muse Card Stock* and the background is Twitterpated DSP. I used the Paper Doily Large Sizzlits Die to cut out a piece of Whisper White Card Stock. With a little work and some help from your Paper Piercer the end result is a really nice paper doily. I used the Scallop Trim Border Punch on a sliver of Basic Grey for the bottom. The greeting is from the Keep Calm Stamp Set** and is stamped in Midnight Muse*. I used the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies** to cut out the “and” and popped it up on a Stampin’ Dimensional which I also used to adhere the greeting to the card. The pocketbook is from the same set and I mounted it to a 1″ circle with another Stampin’ Dimensional. I love the simplicity of the card and the colors. I’m also loving the Keep Calm** set and can’t wait to order some more new items from the Catalog on Thursday! Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great Sunday!
