Island Pool Merry Christmas Tags

Hello! How is your weekend so far? Mine has been quite nice. I got some quality craft time in yesterday and that always makes me happy! I have to start getting a move on making my Holiday cards to send out. I can’t believe how fast this year has gone! Christmas will be here before you know it. Have you started on your Holiday cards yet?

For today’s post I made some 3 x 3 cards that would make nice gift tags. The first one uses a base of Island Indigo Card Stock. I used the Simply Scored Tool with the Diagonal Plate to emboss piece of Crumb Cake for the background and adhered it to the base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is form the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set and is stamped in Early Espresso. I used the Bitty Banners Framelits to cut it out. The ornaments, stamped in Pool Party and Island Indigo, are from the Merry Minis Stamp Set and are punched out with the Merry Minis Punch Pack. All of the elements are mounted to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The second tag starts off with a base of Pool Party Card Stock. I used the retired Spiral Edge Punch along the top and took a piece of Island Indigo and punched it with the Scallop Border Punch and adhered it to the back along the bottom. It’s mounted to the base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is form the More Merry Messages Stamp Set and is stamped in Early Espresso. The trees are stamped in Pool Party and Island Indigo from the Merry Minis Stamp Set and punched out with the Merry Minis Punch Pack. They too are mounted to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Pool Party and Island Indigo are great colors, especially when paired with Crumb Cake. These tags would go great on a package wrapped with craft paper. I hope that you are inspired by these tags to make some of your own. Thank you very much for dropping in today. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! 🙂

Fab Friday 06

Hello everyone, how are you today? I’m doing well, looking forward to the nice weather we are going to have for the next couple of days. Today’s post is for Fab Friday. This time we have a color challenge…

There are two of my favorites, Midnight Muse and Crumb Cake, in there. The base of my card is Midnight Muse Card Stock. I embossed a piece of More Mustard with the Holiday Frame Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card with SNAIL. The stamped image and greeting are from the Joyous Celebrations Stamp Set. I stamped the oval in Midnight Muse and the reindeer in Crumb Cake. It’s punched out with the Extra Large Oval Punch and backed with a piece of Cajun Craze that I cut out with the Lots of Tags Sizzlits. The greeting is stamped in Cajun Craze and I flagged the ends before mounting both of them to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. It’s a nice quick simple non-tradiotional holiday card but if you look at it you can see that the More Mustard as a gold and the Cajun Craze as a red. I hope that you enjoyed my card for the Fab Friday Color Challenge. Thank you, as always for visiting and especially for all of your comments! Have a great day!

Create with Connie and Mary Color Challenge 226

Good morning! Well, someone in New York must have really annoyed mother nature! We got 3 inches of snow today and some more howling wind! Because hurricane Sandy wasn’t enough! I hope she’s done with us for a while. I stopped home last night and it was 38 degrees in my house, now that is a little cold! Yes, there is still no power. But some more people that I live near got theirs back tonight so maybe tomorrow. 😛

Today’s post is for this week’s Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This week we have a very nice color combination…

I love Midnight Muse. I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to do. At first I was thinking fall and then I thought no, a Christmas card. I do love non-traditional Holiday colors so this is perfect! The base of my card is Midnight Muse Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Cajun Craze with the Northern Flurry Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Then I adhered a piece of Midnight Muse 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon around the back with Sticky Strip before I adhered it to the base. The stamped image is from the Snow Swirled Stamp Set and is stamped in Midnight Muse on Whisper White. I stamped one the of the snowflakes in More Mustard and punched it out with the 1/2″ Circle Punch and adhered it with a Stampin’ Dimensional. Some Basic Jewels Rhinestones give it just a little sparkle. The greeting is stamped in Cajun Craze. I backed them both with More Mustard and adhered them to the base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love the elegance of the tree and the sparkle from the rhinestones. I hope that you enjoyed my Guest Designer card for this week’s Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. Don’t forget to visit the blog to see what all of the other talented designer have come up with and be sure to check out their Card Create-tions subscription for some great holiday card and gift ideas.

Paper Craft Crew Sketch 15

Happy Wednesday! I hope that you are all well today. Yes, I still have no power, it’s been over a week. Sigh… it’s getting colder and electric would be nice! I hope that all of the other people have found a warm place to stay, I’ll be at Louis’ again. I’m sure that he will eventually tire of me! LOL!

Today’s post is for this week’s Paper Craft Crew.This week’s sketch is pretty neat. I liked it so much that I didn’t change anything! Here it is…

My card starts off with a base of Lucky Limeade Card Stock. On the right side we have a piece of paper from the Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper Stack. On the left side I took a piece of Crumb Cake and cut the edge with the Adorning Accents Edgelits Dies. I then ran it through the Big Shot again with the Delicate Designs Embossing Folder. Both of the background pieces are adhered to the card with SNAIL. The next element to go on the card are the fagged pieces of Lucky Limeade and Cherry Cobbler. The Very Vanilla piece is stamped with the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set in Crumb Cake and mounted to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut the heart out with the Hearts Collection Framelits Dies and then embossed it with the Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. It too is adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The cute little gingerbread man is from the Scentsational Season Stamp Set and is stamped in Crumb Cake and cut out with the Holiday Collection Framelits Dies. I love the gingerbread man with the heart behind him, he’s a very happy guy! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew Design Crew Challenge.

Mojo 266

Good morning everyone! How are you all doing today? I’m ok, still no power and it’s getting a little chilly here. I’m one of the lucky ones that has a nice warm place to stay. I really feel for the people that don’t. It has been exactly 7 days since we had power at my house. On a positive note I have seen tons of electrical trucks so I’m hoping again that today will be the day. They have come from all over to help, I even saw a few from Joplin Missouri, they had an incredibly tough time with the tornado and it’s great to see them here able to help us now. So a big thanks to everyone that is doing what they can to get us back to a civilized life here in New York. I won’t even comment on the gas issue, that has gotten way out of hand!

Happy time! Today’s post is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. This week we have a sketch from Julee Tilman…

I’m loving the flagged items as always! My card starts off with a base of Early Espresso Card Stock. I used the Woodgrain Background Stamp inked up in some Illuminate Glimmer Ink. I find that it takes a while to dry but the end result is worth the wait. A flagged piece of Primrose Petals makes the next layer. The next two layers are pieces from the Candlelight Christmas Specialty Designer Paper Pack. The top most layer is backed by a piece of Very Vanilla. I cut a piece of Brushed Silver Card Stock with the Snow Flurry Bigz Die. For a little change of pace I stamped a butterfly from the Papillion Potpourri Stamp Set in Primrose Petals and punched it out with the Elegant Butterfly Punch. Both are mounted to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from the More Merry Messages Stamp Set and is stamped in Primrose Petals. I flagged the end and used a Vintage Faceted Designer Button with a piece of Silver Glimmer Paper in the center on the left side. I hope that you enjoyed my Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card for this week. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all of your comments, they always make me smile! I hope that you all have a great day and thank you so much for checking in with me today!

Naturals Evergreen Cheer Christmas

Hello peeps! How are we all doing today? Still no power at my house. Sigh… being cold inside the house has lost it’s appeal! LOL! Do you know when you get that internal cold that you just can’t get rid of… I have that. Still, better of than so many others so chin up and and on we go. Today’a post is a nice simple Christmas card. I made it a little while back and the more I look at it the more I like it. It starts off with a base of Naturals White Card Stock. The bottom half of the card uses a piece of Be of Good Cheer Designer Series Paper for the background. I cut out a piece of Crumb Cake and rounded the corners with the 3/16″ Corner Rounder. The tree image is from the Evergreen Stamp Set and is stamped in Early Espresso. The greeting is from the More Merry Messages Stamp Set and is markered in Cherry Cobbler. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to line them up. To give the card some dimension I tied some Linen Thread through a Naturals Designer Button and adhered it to the card with a Mini Glue Dot. I love the subtle country feel of the card and it’s a simple card to duplicate. I hope that you enjoyed my card today. Thank you, as always for visiting and I hope that you have a great Sunday! 🙂

Pals Paper Arts 146

Wee, it’s the weekend… boo, I still have no power. In all seriousness no power is a small problem compared to what so many other people are going through. My heart goes out to all those that have suffered a loss. We also have this great gas issue to deal with which is definitely not bringing out the best in people. I have none left so I’ll be in for the weekend. I stayed at my friend Louis’ last night so no cold nose this morning. He was nice enough to come and get me! Friends really are the best remedy for almost anything!

Today’s post is for Pals Paper Arts. This time we have a color challenge…

The color combination would be nice for so many things but I immediately thought holiday card. The base of my card is Crumb Cake Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Riding Hood Red with the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for the background and I tried something a little different, when I ran it through the Big Shot I did it on no tabs to give it a little more subtle look. All of the stamped images are from the Open Sleigh Stamp Set. I stamped the sleigh on a piece of Very Vanilla in Crumb Cake and then again in Riding Hood Red. Using my trusty Paper Snips, I cut out the red sleigh. The Merry Christmas is stamped in Riding Hood Red. I flagged the one end and used the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack and the Paper-Piercing Tool to pierce the 3 sides. The greeting and the phrase are stamped in Riding Hood Red and I used the Postage Stamp Punch to edge them. I mounted all of the elements to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals including the sleigh. I love the vintage look of the card and the simplicity makes it a great card to duplicate. I hope that you enjoyed my Pals Paper Arts card. Hopefully you are all warm and will have a good day! Thank you for visiting!

Freshly Made Sketches #59

A very good Friday morning to you! I am always a happy boy on Friday. We still have no power and it’s getting a little colder each night. Hopefully later on today when I get home all will be back to normal. Today’s post is for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches Challenge. This week’s sketch is provided by Cindy…

Funnily enough at the beginning of the week I was thinking that I wanted to do something with the Postage Due Stamp Set, I even had the images stamped and Cindy must have read my mind! The base of my card is Old Olive, a color that I haven’t used in a while. I used a piece of Bravo Burgundy for my background panel and adhered a piece of Retired Very Vanilla 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon with a Round Designer Ribbon Slide to it before mounting it to the card with SNAIL. The Delicate Designs Textured Impressions Embossing Folder is used on a piece of Old Olive to go across the middle of the card. The 2 cent images are from the Postage Due Stamp Set and are stamped in Bravo Burgundy and Old Olive and the 25 cent stamp image is from the Merry and Type Stamp Set and is stamped in Old Olive. They are all punched out with the Postage Stamp Punch. I used some Stampin’ Dimensionals to mount them to the card. I really like the sketch and the one stamp makes this a great quick Christmas card. I hope that you enjoyed this week’s Freshly Made Sketches Challenge card and thank you very much for stopping by. Have an awesome Friday!

Create with Connie and Mary 225

Good morning! How are we all doing today? I’m doing ok. The no power and generator thing is getting old fast, but there are people out there a lot worse off than me so I guess I really shouldn’t complain. Sandy definitely left her mark here and it will be felt for a while I’m sure. Thank you to all of my readers for their concern. I really appreciate the comments! You guys rock!

It’s Thursday so it’s Create with Connie and Mary time! This week we have a nice simple sketch…

I changed it up just a little bit but most of the main elements are the same. The base of my card is Cherry Cobbler Card Stock. I adhered a piece of Be of Good Cheer Designer Series Paper to the front so that it would be there for when I attached the top piece. A piece of Very Vanilla has the negative tree image cut out with the Holiday Collection Framelits Dies. I stamped the greeting in Cherry Cobbler from the More Merry Messages Stamp Set. Some Stampin’ Dimensionals pop it up on the Cherry Cobbler base. A piece of Gumball Green 3/8″ Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon is adhered around either side on the back with Sticky Strip. I used the Ticked Duo Builder Punch to punch out a piece of Gumball Green and adhered it to a pice of Cherry Cobbler that I used the small circle punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch pack to create the ticket corners on. Two Champagne Glimmer Paper trees punched out with the Merry Minis Punch Pack are adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals and give the card a little bling. It’s not a very complicated card to make and I am really liking the negative tree with the DSP behind it. I hope that you enjoyed my Guest Designer card for Create with Connie and Mary this week. Thank you so much for spending some time with me today and enjoy the rest of your day!

Paper Craft Crew Grand Opening!

Hello! Welcome to the Grand Opening of the Paper Craft Crew Challenge blog! I am so happy to be a part of this great team. We have lots of giveaways and surprises in store for you along with some great challenges! To celebrate I will be giving away a $25 gift certificate to purchase whatever you want from Stampin’ Up!

While you are over at the Paper Craft Crew blog why not make a card and post it for this week’s challenge. This week we have a great sketch to celebrate our Grand Opening…

Lots of elements and room for interpretation. My card starts with a base of Always Artichoke Card Stock. I embossed a piece of Crumb Cake with the Northern Flurry Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Across the bottom is a piece of Riding Hood Red that I stamped with the Good Cheer Builder Wheel in Riding Hood Red. A piece of retired Riding Hood Red Satin Ribbon goes across the middle. The image is from the Winter Memories Stamp Set and is stamped in Basic Black and colored in with Riding Hood Red, Always Artichoke,  Marina Mist, Rose Red, Perfect Plum, Crumb Cake, Pretty In Pink, Bashful Blue and Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Markers. I cut it out with the Labels Collection Framelits Dies, turning it a second time to get the squared shaped. Some piercing with the Festive Paper-Piercing Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool helps dress it up and it’s adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The Merry Minis Stamp Set and the Merry Minis Punch Pack make the little banner stamped in Riding Hood Red and Always Artichoke. Some Whisper White Bakers Twine strings them together. The greeting is from the Winter Memories Stamp Set too and is stamped in Always Artichoke and underlined with the Always Artichoke Marker. I edged it with the marker to before I adhered it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The button is a Naturals Designer Button with a Whisper White Bakers Twine bow. I adhered it to the card with two stacked Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love the homey warm feel of the card, it makes all of the coloring worth it!
