Paper Players #138 :-)

And there goes Saturday, fast as always! I hope that you had a fun day yesterday, I did. I crafted in the morning and went out and did a little shopping. I met my friend Maureen for lunch, we had Panera, definitely one of my favorites. I love their Chopped Chicken Cobb with Avocado Salad and their Acia Berry Iced Tea. I got my friend Kim from the airport after her week in paradise as she called it! All in all a very good day!

Since today is Sunday that means it’s time for another Paper Players Challenge. First, congratulations to Natalie for being my choice for Cut Above on last week’s challenge! This week the amazing Anne Marie has given us this clever sketch…

I’m liking it a lot! I knew what I was going to use, it just took a little selective weeding to get my card just right. The base of my card is Riding Hood Red Card Stock. I used one of the stamps from the Paper Pumpkin Kit to stamp the random ink drops for the background in Basic Gray. The tag in the middle, stamp and ruler are all from the Fan Fair Designer Series Paper Pack. There are some really great images on the sheets that you can cut out or punch out. The ruler along the right side is backed with a piece of Basic Gray that I punched with the Scallop Edge Border Punch. The stamp is punched out with the Postage Stamp Punch and backed with a piece of Riding Hood Red that I punched out with the 1 1/4″ Square Punch. The tag and the stamp are adhered to the base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The tag is also backed with a piece of Very Vanilla to give it a little extra strength and the corners are rounded with the 3/16″ Corner Rounder. I stamped some images from the That’s the Ticket Stamp Set in Riding Hood Red and Basic Gray and punched them out with the Ticket Duo Builder Punch. A standard office paper clip holds them to the tag. The greeting is from the Family Reunion Stamp Set. I stamped it in Riding Hood Red and cut it out with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies. After I cut off the left side I adhered it to the card with SNAIL. I forgot how much I like the Riding Hood Red paired with the Basic Gray and how neat the Fan Fair DSP is. I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Paper Players Sketch Challenge brought to you by Anne Marie.

Create with Connie and Mary 244

Ahh… the weekend! Yesterday was a little rough after my Thursday but I made it through. I had dinner last night at Buffalo Wild Wings with Danielle and Anthony. Mmm… fried pickles are delicious! The wings are a little salty , I needed Chapstick soon after dinner but all in all a very nice meal. What are you all up to for the weekend? I’m off to the airport tonight to retrieve my friend Kim. Sunday I’m thinking I will take her home but this morning is a crafty morning!

For today’s post I have my card for this week’s Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This week we have a color challenge…

I decided to go super clean and simple. The base of my card is Daffodil Delight Card Stock. I stamped the butterflies from the Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set in Not Quite Navy down the left side. The card is also cut to 4 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ so that the Marina Mist banner can hang off the side but still fit in a standard envelope. The greeting is from the Sweet Essentials Stamp Set and is also stamped in Not Quite Navy. I flagged the right side and hid the left under a butterfly that is stamped in Daffodil Delight and punched out with the Elegant Butterfly Punch. I added some Basic Jewels Rhinestones for a little sparkle and then adhered it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I really do like the simplicity of the card and I think the colors work well with the layout. I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Create with Connie and Mary Color Challenge. Thanks for visiting and have a creative day!

Freshly Made Sketches #78

Friday, need I saw any more! I was in the city until 10:00 last night and I got off the train at 11:05, I’m a little tired today. For some added fun the hockey game let out just before I got to Penn Station, again, need I say more?! What’s on for the weekend? I’m off to the airport to get my friend Kim tomorrow night. I have always loved the airport and been fascinated with planes since I was a little kid. I would like to be on one somewhere soon!

Just a reminder that today is the last day for Sale-A-Bration! Don’t forget to place your order to get some of the amazing products from this year’s line up!

Today I have my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches. This week we have a fun sketch from Jen M….

I love the Sent with Love Suite, it speaks to my love of planes! The base of my card is Pool Party Card Stock. The background is a piece of Sent with Love Designer Series Paper. At the top is a piece of Island Indigo the I cut with the Large Scallop Edgelit on the one side. A piece of Real Red is embossed with the Needlepoint Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and adhered on top. All of the images are from the Sent with Love Stamp Set. The main image is stamped in Calypso Coral and cut out with the Ovals Collection Framelits Dies. I stamped the image again in Island Indigo and used my Paper Snips to cut out the plane. The words are stamped in Real Red and both pieces are adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I backed it with a piece of Sent with Love Designer Series Paper, also cut out with the Ovals Framelits, and adhered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting in the lower right is stamped in Calypso Coral and punched out with the 1 1/4″ Circle Punch, yup, another Dimensional holds it in place. I hope that you enjoyed my Freshly Made Sketches card fir this week’s challenge. I thank you very much for spending some time with me today and I hope you have a wonderful Friday!

Paper Craft Crew Sketch 34

Ahh, Thursday, I like you so much better than Monday! How are we all today? I’m good, looking forward to the weekend as always. Yesterday felt a little long but today will be a bit longer. I’m off to Manhattan after work, hopefully it will be finished raining/snowing/freezing by the time I head in. They had a derailment on the LIRR on Monday and it has messed up the trains all week. Maybe that will be cleared up tomorrow too, we can only hope. Did you all enjoy the Control Freaks Blog Tour yesterday?! I always have so much fun making my projects with that super talented group. If you didn’t get a chance to take a look be sure to, there were some great projects!

Today I have my post for this week’s Paper Craft Crew challenge. This time around we have a sketch challenge…

Some really neat suggestions in the sketch wouldn’t you agree?! The base of my card is Whisper White Card Stock. The background is a piece of paper from the Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper Pack from Sale-A-Bration. You only have until tomorrow to place you order and qualify for your free Sale-A-Braiton goodies and then it’s gone again until next year. I cut out a doily from the Delicate Doilies Large Sizzlit in Whisper White. The rounded scallop flag and the flagged pieces are cut out with the Hearts a Flutter Framelits Dies from Island Indigo and Tangerine Tango. All three of the pieces are adhered under a piece of Sahara Sand that I embossed with the Honeycomb Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The “flowers” are from the Madison Avenue Stamp Set (also from Sale-A-Bration) and are stamped in Tangerine Tango and punched out with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack. For the greeting I use the stamp from the first Paper Pumpkin kit and stamped it in Island Indigo. It is punched out with the Extra Large Oval Punch and adhered to the embossed piece with Stampin’ Dimensionals along with the “flowers”. I really like the stamp from the Paper Pumpkin Set, it has that casual feel to it. I hope that you enjoyed my Paper Craft Crew Design Team Card for this week’s sketch challenge. Don’t forget to see what the other designers have come up with over at the Paper Craft Crew blog. Thank you for checking in and I hope you have an awesome day!

Control Freaks March Blog Tour!

Hello and welcome to the March Control Freaks Blog Tour. This time around the theme is Spring! Boy could I use some spring right about now! Tomorrow is the first day of Spring but we had snow here on Long Island yesterday. Like I said… so ready for Spring!

If you are following the tour you have arrived here from the super creative Lisa Martz’s blog. She always has some fantastic stuff to share doesn’t she?! This month I have three projects for you, two cards and a candy jar.

The first of my cards is simple but I love the way it looks. I often need cards that can make the long journey over to England where most of my family is. A one layer card always fits the bill. The base of the card is Pool Party Card Stock. I cut a piece of Very Vanilla to 3 3/4″ x 5″ and stamped all of my images on it. The jar is from the Perfectly Preserved Stamp Set that was carried over from the 2012 Holiday Catalog and it is stamped in Pool Party. The greeting is from the Make a Wish Stamp Set and is stamped in Calypso Coral. I stamped the hearts from the Oh, Whale! Stamp Set in Pool Party and Calypso Coral, stamping off some of them. I love the random hearts and the jar, they remind me of fireflies! Stamping off is a nice simple yet fun way to give a one dimensional card a little depth.

For my second card I wanted to showcase the new Photopolymer Stamp Set. The base of this card is Primrose Petals Card Stock. I stamped some images from the Make a Cake Stamp Set in Primrose Petals, using the cake that I stamped in Raspberry Ripple to line up the little banner. The Happy Birthday banner is from the Designer Typeset Photopolymer Stamp Set. The banner stamp itself is straight but you can bend it when you mount them to your clear block and that’s what I did. It’s stamped in Raspberry Ripple and the letters in Primrose Petals. I used my Paper Snips to cut them out and they are mounted to the card with leftover Stampin’ Dimensional pieces. The cake is also mounted to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The best part about the Photopolymer Set is that you can see exactly where you are going to stamp making it great for alphabets, easy to line up every time!

My last project is a little jar with some jellybeans inside. I wrapped some Tea for Two Designer Series Fabric around the middle of the jar and adhered it with some Sticky Strip. A piece of Tea Lace Paper Doily was adhered to the fabric with some SNAIL before I attached it. The little chick is from the Everybunny Stamp Set and is stamped in Basic Black and colored in with Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral Stampin’ Write Markers. A Stampin’ Dimensional holds it in place. On the top of the jar I punched a piece of Whisper White with the 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle Punch and adhered it to the jar with some Mini Glue Dots. The rolled rose is made by punching a piece of Calypso Coral with the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch and cutting in a spiral with my Paper Snips. After you roll it up some hot glue keeps it from unwinding. I punched some Lucky Limeade with the 1″ Circle Punch for the leaves and some more Mini Glue Dots hold it all on top. The flag is a piece of Whisper White and I used the Designer Typeset Photopolymer Stamp Set for Taylor, stamped in Calypso Coral. The Happy Easter is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set and is also stamped in Calypso Coral. For the egg I used the Itty Bitties Stamp Set and stamped it in Chocolate Chip. The flag is wrapped around a skewer and held closed with Sticky Strip. The butterfly is cut out with the Beautiful Wings Embosslit from Calypso Coral. A little fabric, card stock and some stamps make a fun way to dress up a plain glass container.

I hope that you enjoyed my Control Freaks March Blog Tour projects. I thank you very much for stopping here on the tour. Click below to go on to the clever and crafty Cindy Elam’s blog. I know that she will have some great projects to share with you! Enjoy!

Mojo 285

Another fun filled Monday… how about you? I fixed an iPhone back cover last night, always fun! It snowed here again, we got about an inch. I really am so ready for spring. If any of you have some extra warm weather that you could send this way please do so! Thanks! 🙂

It’s Tuesday so that means it’s time for another Mojo Monday Sketch. This week we have a very different sketch from Julee Tilman…

I wanted to use some more of the Sale-A-Bration goodies before it ends in just three short days. Better get those last minute orders in before it’s too late! The base of my card is Whisper White Card Stock. The background is a plain piece of Sahara Sand. I used a piece of the Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper on the right side and covered it with strips of Island Indigo that I embossed with the Argyle Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. A piece of 7/8″ Natural Trim Ribbon goes across the middle and is adhered around the back with Sticky Strip. The corners are made by punching a piece of Summer Starfruit with the 1″ Square Punch and cutting it in half. I stamped it with the Beyond Plaid Stamp Set in Summer Starfruit and some SNAIL holds them in each corner. The greeting is from the Dude, You’re Welcome Stamp Set and is stamped in Pool Party and cut out with a Sizzix Circle Framelit. I adhered it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Two little tickets from the You’re Amazing Stamp Set are punched out with the Ticket Duo Builder Punch and one of the buttons form the Sycamore Street Ribbon and Button Pack, threaded with some Whisper White Bakers Twine, holds them in place with a Stampin’ Dimensional. I think the greeting works well with the Sycamore Street DSP and the card would work for a man or a woman. I hope that you enjoyed my Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card. Thank you for checking in and I hope that you have a great day! Don’t forget to send some of that warm weather… Thanks!

Indigo Limeade Feathers Sympathy

Good morning peeps! That weekend went very quickly as they always do. Did you have a nice and safe St. Patrick’s Day? I did, I went to my friends Brian & Kim’s and we had corned beef and cabbage and some delicious cupcakes and banana bread. I got to see my little kiddies and Taylor scored a babysitting job. Lot’s of friends equals a very good day indeed!

I did forget to mention the other day that Stampin’ Up! has a new promotion. They are giving you a sneak peek at a set that will be in the 2013-2014 Annual Catalog and it’s called A Round Array. The best part is that you can purchase it now! You can get it as a bundle with the 7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch for $23.95 or just the Stamp Set for $14.95. You can purchase this now through May 30th. Click here or on the photo below to get a PDF of the flyer.

Today’s post is for one of those cards that we don’t like to make, a sympathy card. My good friend Chantal’s mom passed away. She went to France for the funeral. I needed a simple but appropriate card. The base of the card is Sahara Sand Card Stock. I stamped the feathers from the Fine Feathers Stamp Set in Island Indigo and Lucky Limeade right on to the card base. The greeting is from the Loving Thoughts Stamp Set and is stamped in Island Indigo on Whisper White. I flagged the right side and mounted it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. A very simple but elegant card. Chantal loved it and I hope that you enjoyed it too. Thank you for taking some time to stop by and visit. I hope that you have a very nice Monday.

Paper Players #137 :-)

Hello there! Wow! That was a long day yesterday! I went to bed at 12:00am, got up at 3:00am, went to the airport, drove into the city, napped from 5:00am to 6:30am and then ran around the city until 5:30pm. To cap it off it snowed almost the whole day! I got home around 6:20pm and me and the child went to Panera for dinner. I’m a little tired still! I hope you all had a good day yesterday.

Sunday already… that means it’s time for another Paper Players Challenge. This week we have cool sketch from the amazing Ann…

I have been wanting to use the Swallowtail Stamp from the Spring Catalog as a background and I thought this would be the perfect card for it. The base of my card is Raspberry Ripple Card Stock. I stamped the Swallowtail Stamp in Raspberry Ripple on a piece of Very Vanilla. Before I adhered the panel to the card I used some Sticky Strip to adhere the piece of Raspberry Ripple 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon around the back. Some Vellum Card Stock (I have been quite into Vellum lately!) Is punched out with the Postage Stamp Punch and embossed with the Delicate Designs Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I punched some butterflies out with the Bitty Butterfly Punch from some Raspberry Ripple and adhered them to the Vellum with Stampin’ Dimensionals. A Mini Glue Dot is the strategically placed behind each one to “invisibly” hold them to the card. The greeting is from the Bloomin’ Marvelous Stamp Set and is stamped in Raspberry Ripple. Some Basic Jewels Rhinestones add a little bling and finish off the card. I hope that you enjoyed my Guest Designer card for this week’s Clean and Simple Sketch from Ann. Be sure to check out the rest of the Design Team’s cards over at the Paper Players blog. Thank you very much for stopping by, I hope that you have a lovely Sunday!

Create with Connie and Mary 243

Good morning! If you are seeing this post that means that my 3:30am airport run was successful and I have made it into Manhattan. One little flaw in my plan for today was that the St. Patrick’s Day Parade is today… hopefully I will miss the aftermath of it entirely. Fingers crossed! I’m not really a huge fan of all of the drunk people wandering from bar to bar in the city. When I worked in Manhattan I used to dread when St. Patrick’s Day fell on a weekday. I’m not a huge drinker and I’m definitely not a fan of public intoxication and all of the humiliation that goes along with it. I am wishing now that I was on that plane to Mexico with my friend Kim!

Enough of that now on to today’s post which is for this week’s Create with Connie and Mary. The ladies have provided us with a nice simple sketch…

The base of my card is Daffodil Delight Card Stock and I used a piece of paper from the Parker’s Patters Designer Series Paper Pack for the background. The middle panel is created using the Scallop Trim Border and Scallop Trim Corner Punches. The are a ton of tutorials on the web showing how to get it to go around the square perfectly. I used the one on Gretchen Barron’s site, I think she did a great job explaining it! I used Crumb Cake to make mine and the greeting is from the Pursuit of Happiness Stamp Set and is stamped in Not Quite Navy on Whisper White. The flagged piece is also from the Parker’s Patterns DSP, I think the patterns in the paper are called Ikat. On the left side I used one of the Silver Basic Designer Buttons backed with a piece of Early Espresso that I punched out with the 7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch and adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love the Parker’s Patterns DSP, it has a nice masculine feel to it. I hope that you enjoyed my Create with Connie and Mary card for this week’s challenge. Thank you for all of your congratulations on my Fab Friday Design Team announcement yesterday, I appreciate them! I hope that you have a nice safe Saturday! 🙂

Fab Friday 14 & News!

Happy Friday everyone! I’m extra happy today because you know that mental health day I have talking about for so long, well… I finally took it! I’m off from work today! I’m going to catch up on some things around the house (it looks like about 20 people live here at the moment!), get some crafty time in and take a nap so I can do the 3:30am ride to the airport! I’ll be going to Manhattan straight from the airport to take a nap at my friends house!

Before I get to today’s post you may be wondering why my Fab Friday is actually on Friday this week. Well, the wonderful Mindy Backes, the creator of Fab Friday, has asked me to join the Design Team! How cool is that?!?! I have played along in every challenge since they started the blog last year. What an honor to be on the team with all of the other talented artists over there. Ok, enough gushing now on to the challenge. We have a nice color combo for you…

I have had the Button, Button Stamp Set for a while and haven’t really used it much. I thought this would be a neat way to break it in. The base of my card is Pink Pirouette Card Stock. The background is made with the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I used the Ovals Collection Framelits to cut out a piece of Sahara Sand and cut it in half. A quick run through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polkadots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and it kind of looks like a table. I stamped the jar image from the Perfectly Preserved Stamp Set in Lucky Limeade on Vellum Card Stock. The Cannery Framelits Dies cut out the stamped image and a blank one to go behind it. The buttons are from the Button, Button Stamp Set and are stamped in Pink Pirouette and Calypso Coral, punched out with the 1″ Circle Punch and the 1/2″ Circle Punch, the ones in the jar are adhered with SNAIL and the ones on the outside are adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I then used some vellum adhesive to adhere the stamped jar to the blank one and some Stampin’ Dimensionals hold that to the card too. The greeting is from the Made for You Stamp Set and is stamped in Calypso Coral. I used the Scallop Oval Punch to punch it out and backed it with a piece of Calypso Coral that I punched out with the Extra Large Oval Punch. Still more Stampin’ Dimensionals adhere it to the card. I love the way the jar stamped on Vellum looks, especially filled with the little buttons. I hope that you enjoyed my first Deign Team card for the Fab Friday Color Challenge. Make sure that you go and visit the blog to see what all of my fellow designers have for you and make a card of yours to enter. Thank you so very much for checking in with me, I hope that you all have a great Friday! 🙂
