SIP Challenge 89 – A Sketch!

Yup, still cold here! I did have a very fun day in Manhattan yesterday! Ella and I had a nice visit and took a little trip to the Apple Store to get her iPhone fixed. From there I headed down to The Ink Pad to see my friend Anna! We got caught up and I had some Dirty Bird for lunch, delicious. I took the 3:01 train back out to the Island and got to spend some time with my Brother, Erika, Daniel and Tristan. We had cake for my Dad’s birthday which was on the 1st. I stopped home quick and then went over to Heather’s so that we could take a drive to see our friends Patti and Tom and the kids. We had a nice time and quick ride home. Today I’m back at the Store with lots of things to catch up on! 😀

It’s time now for this week’s Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge

I do love a new release from Lawn Fawn and I haven’t really played with the Bicycle Built for You Set yet so that’s what I used on today’s card! The base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I adhered a strip of Lawn Fawn Rudolph 12×12 Paper and a thin strip of Black Licorice down the left side. To create my little scene I cut out a piece of Mermaid with the Lawn Fawn Zig Zag Circles Stackables, I also used the Lawn Fawn Grassy Hillside Borders to cut out a piece of Noble Fir and the Lawn Fawn Road Border to cut out a piece of Black Licorice and Solar White 80lb. The Zig Zag Circles are used again to cut the edges off of them and they are lined them with the Mermaid Circle to adhere them all together. I used a some Fun Foam and E-Z Runner to adhere the circle to the card. My images and greeting are from the Lawn Fawn Bicycle Built for You Photopolymer Stamp Set and are stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black. I colored them in with Copics and cut them out with the Coordinating Dies. They are adhered to the card with 3D Foam Squares. All that was left to do was to stamp the greeting in the lower right! I do like the set and all of the little pieces that you can change up! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge! Head on over to the BLOG and check out the rest of the Team’s cards including this month’s Guest Designer Sue Plote! We hope that you will share your take on the sketch by adding it to the gallery!

Mojo Monday 487

What a Sunday that was! When I got to the Store in the morning there was water all over, apparently there was an issue with a pipe somewhere in the building and it caused a leak. Renee, Angie and I must have used the Shop-Vac 20 times to vacuum up the water, they finally got it fixed around 3:00. Needless to say I didn’t get much done! My friends Lori and Debbie did stop by the store to pick up some goodies and I was also very happy that Jodi Collins from the My Favorite Things Design Team came in! So nice to get to meet her and chat with her about crafty stuff! You can see her blog HERE! After work I had dinner with my Parents and then watched some TV and read for a little bit. Today I’m off to Manhattan to see my friend Ella and maybe take a little trip down to The Ink Pad! Should be a fun day! 🙂

It’s Monday and you know what that means… time for a new Mojo Monday sketch…

For some reason lately I have been into some really bright colors! My card starts off with a base of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with a piece of Pale Aqua for the background. All of my images are from the Lawn Fawn How You Bean? Photopolymer Stamp Set. I stamped the jellybean outline repeatedly onto a piece of Crisp Green with Lawn Fawn Freshly Cut Grass Ink to use for my strip down the middle. Next I used the Hero Arts Infinity Circles and Lawn Fawn Zig Zag Circles Stackables Lawn Cuts to cut out a piece of Purple Hearts and Lawn Fawn Gummy Bears 12×12 Paper. I adhered them to a piece of Solar White 80lb and then to the card. The jar is stamped in Lawn Fawn Minty Fresh. I used the Coordinating Lawn Cuts to cut out the stamped jar, a piece of Acetate and another piece of Solar White 80lb. I then cut out the negative of the jellybeans from the stamped jar, lined it up with the blank one and stamped the jellybeans in Memento Tuxedo Black. They are colored in with my Copics. I adhered the acetate to the back of the stamped jar and then used 3D Foam Squares to adhere it to the colored image. For the lid I heat embossed the image onto a piece of Galvanized Curios Metallic with Hero Arts Platinum Embossing Powder. It’s also cut out with the Coordinating Lawn Cuts and adhered to the jar that is then adhered to the card. For my greeting I used the Lawn Fawn Happy, Happy, Happy Photopolymer Stamp Set and stamped the happy in Merman, used the Coordinating Lawn Cuts to cut it out, stamped the birthday also in Merman onto a strip of White and flagged the right side. The happy is adhered with more 3D Foam Squares and the birthday is tucked under the circle. I added a few Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear, Raspberry, Amethyst, Pewter and Lemon Drop Sequins for a little sparkle! The jar looks much better in person, with the Acetate it really does look like glass! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge! Stop by the BLOG and check out the rest of the Team’s cards and enter yours in the gallery! Thank you for starting your week off here! Have a marvelous Monday! 🙂

Paper Players 333

We had a weird day weather wise here yesterday, it was supposed to be in the 70’s and didn’t get past 50 and was windy and misty, just odd. I had one of those I can’t focus mornings but managed to get it together by the afternoon! I made my card for today and for tomorrow too! After work I stopped home and then headed over to the Massapequa Park train station to pick up my friend Chantal! We haven’t seen each other in way too long! We had a lovely dinner at a little restaurant in town and got all caught up! I have missed her! A little TV when I got home and then a relatively early night. 😀

Today I have my card for this week’s Paper Players challenge…

My card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with a piece of paper from the Lawn Fawn Watercolor Wonder Petite Paper Pad cut with the largest of the Zig Zag Rectangles Stackables Lawn Cuts adhered to the front as the background. Next I stamped my flowers, leaves and butterflies from the Lawn Fawn Fab Flowers Photopolymer Stamp Set in Fresh Lavender, Juice Box, Ballet Slippers, Bubblegum, Sunflower, Carrot, Jalapeño and Noble Fir Ink and used the Coordinating Lawn Cuts to cut them out. My greetings are from the Lawn Fawn Happy, Happy, Happy Photopolymer Stamp Set and are stamped in Bubblegum, Carrot and Juice Box and also cut out with the Coordinating Lawn Cuts. I used the Lawn Fawn Zig Zag Circles Stackables Lawn Cuts to cut out two pieces of Wildflower Honey and a piece of Ballerina Pink. They are adhered to the card with Fun Foam and E-Z Runner. All that was left to do was to adhere the images and greetings! I love the nice soft colors and the Happy, Happy, Happy set is one greeting set that everyone should have! I hope that you like my card for this week’s Paper Players Sketch Challenge from LeAnne! Thanks you for your visit! Have an interesting Thursday! 🙂

SIP Challenge 88 – Anything But a Card!

Is it just me or do Monday’s seem to last a little longer than other days of the week?! I had a good day despite that! Renee and I worked on projects as always. My friend Arnise stopped by to get some Lawn Fawn goodies and I left a little early. When I got home I took a little nap before dinner and then had a few errands to run before settling in for a smidge of TV before bed. Today more projects and planning, never a dull moment at the Store! 😀

Now on to today’s post, it’s time for a new challenge from Stamp, Ink, Paper

I made a fun little box using Lawn Fawn’s new Fancy Box Lawn Cuts. The box is cut from Moonstone using the die, folded and assembled with some Scor-Tape. To decorate the top I used the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders and the Lawn Fawn Little Picket Fence Border dies to cut out two pieces of Crisp Green for the hillsides and a piece of Solar White 80lb for the fence. I adhered them to each other with E-Z Runner, trimmed them to fit on the lid of the box, stamped my greeting and adhered them to lid. My images and greeting are from the Lawn Fawn Elphie Selfie Photopolymer Stamp Set and are stamped in Jet Black. I colored them in with my Copics and cut them out with the Coordinating Lawn Cuts. I added some Gelly Roll Stardust Glitter Pen to the candles and a few 3D Foam Squares adhere the images to the lid and the box is done! I think this would make a nice way to give a gift card or a little prezzie! I hope that you like my Design Team project for this week’s Stamp, Ink, Paper Anything But a Card Challenge! Take a little time to go over to the BLOG and see what the rest of the Team has come up with to inspire you and add your project to the gallery! Thanks for stopping by to visit me today!

Mojo Monday 486

Another pleasant day at the Store! Renee, Angie and I all worked on our respective projects in the morning. Renee had a class at 1:00 and one of our customers is a LuLaroe Rep so she had a Pop-Up event at the Store. Lots of people came in and bought things. I left around 2:30 and came home to find Taylor at my house. We chatted and waited for my friend Jim to come over. I’m helping him scan in pictures for an album that he’s working on. We had dinner and watched some TV before he left to pick up his daughter. I have been meaning to call Danielle and catch up with her and I finally did. I still miss her so much! Today I have my usual projects to get done, always a labor of love! 😀

It’s Monday so you know what that means, time for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch…

Yes, I played with yet some more of the new Lawn Fawn release for today’s card! My images and greeting are from the Lawn Fawn Sewn with Love Photopolymer Stamp Set. I stamped my images in Jet Black and colored them in with Copics. They are cut out with the Coordinating Lawn Cuts. My card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with the front covered in a piece of Purple Hearts. I used the Lawn Fawn Zig Zag Rectangles, Squares and Circles to cut out a piece of Lawn Fawn Gummy Bears 12×12 Paper, Chinese Red, Tropical Sea and Wildflower Honey. The Patterned Paper is adhered to the card with Fun Foam and E-Z Runner. Next up is a piece of Ballerina Pink with some Yellow Embroidery Floss wrapped around it. On top of that I adhered the rest of the shapes and stamped the Lovely on the Yellow Circle. The Sew is stamped in Jalapeño and cut out again with the Coordinating Lawn Cuts. I adhered all of the images with 3D Foam Squares and added a few Pretty Pink Posh Sea Breeze, Pink Blush, Marshmallow and Sparkling Clear Sequins and the card is done! I think that the patterned paper and the Zig Zag Dies really add to the sewing theme of the card! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge! Stop by the BLOG and see what the other Design Team members have made to inspire you and add your card to the gallery! Thanks so much for starting your week off with me! Have a magnificent Monday! 🙂

Out of this Box Card

What a nice Saturday! Crop days are always fun at the Store! I had a nice productive morning getting many things that I have been putting off finished! I also got to have a nice long chat with my friend Evelyn and ran out to the Post Office and Aldi with Marianne. After work I stopped by my friend Louis’ house and we ran a few errands. I saw my Parents for a bit when I got home and then went over to Heather and George’s for dinner. He made grilled oysters, seared scallops, salad and seared tuna steaks, it was all really good! We hung out and watched some TV and I was home by 11:00. Taylor fell asleep on the couch, woke up when I got in and left! I have a lot more to get done at the Store today but it’s always fun stuff no matter what! 🙂

I spent a little time playing again with more of the new Lawn Fawn release and made a fun Pop-Up card! This card will be offered as a Class at the Store this Thursday, March 2nd between 11:00AM and 4:00PM. You can go to the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store site to call the Store and sign up! The card itself is cut from Battleship Gray and Black using the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up Lawn Cut. I assembled it with Scor-Tape. On the back black panel I used the Lawn Fawn Starry Skies Lawn Cuts to cut out the stars and adhered it to the back panel. My images and greeting are from the Lawn Fawn Out of this World Photopolymer Stamp Set. I stamped all of the images in Jet Black and colored them in with Copics. They are cut out with the Coordinating Dies and adhered to the inside of the card with Acetate and E-Z Runner Ultra Strong. My greeting is heat embossed in Hero Arts White Embossing Powder onto one of the black panels and adhered to the front flap. I love all of the space images and think this would make an awesome Birthday card for a little boy! I hope that you enjoyed today’s card! Thank you so much for visiting with me today! Have a simple Sunday! 🙂

Happy Fab Jar

Time for the weekend peeps! We have had a few nice days and it’s to get colder today and we are to have rain, thanks Linda! LOL! My friend in Chicago sends the weather this way, I tell her only send the good stuff! I had a nice visit with my friend Marissa yesterday at the Store, she came by to pick up her Lawn Fawn goodies and we chatted and she looked through some of my early work, we had a good laugh! Renee left a little early to have dinner with her kids, it makes me very happy when she gets to spend time with them! I left around 6:00 and had dinner with my Parents and then cleaned a little before my friend Jim came over. We had a nice evening, listening to music and watching videos. Today there is a one day crop so I’ll get to spend a little time with the ladies! 😀

I of course had to play with some of the new Lawn Fawn goodies yesterday and I have to say that one of my favorite new sets is Fab Flowers. I stamped a bunch of them in Lawn Fawn Ballet Slippers, Bubblegum, Fresh Lavender, Juice Box, Sunflower, Carrot, Freshly Cut Grass, Noble Fir, Merman and Peacock. They are all cut out with the Coordinating Dies and put aside. Next I stamped the jar from the Lawn Fawn How You Bean? Photopolymer Stamp Set in Minty Fresh. I used the Add On Dies to cut out the Jar, a piece of Acetate and a piece of Solar White 80lb. On the back panel I stamped the stems in Jalapeño Ink. To make the shaker I used the same die that I used to cut out the jar to cut out a piece of 1/4″ Fun Foam. Each layer is adhered with 1/8″ Scor-Tape, I added some Pretty Pink Posh Share Kindness Mix Sequins and some Clear Seed Beads before adding the back panel. For my card base I used Neenah Solar White 100lb Card Stock and a piece of the Watercolor Wishes Petite Paper cut out with the Lawn Fawn Zig Zag Rectangles Stackables. My greeting is from the Lawn Fawn Happy, Happy, Happy Photopolymer Stamp Set, I stamped the Happy in Juice Box and the everything in Peacock. The happy is cut out with the Coordinating Lawn Cuts. I adhered the jar the card and then used more 1/4″ Fun Foam and E-Z Runner to adhered the flowers, the butterfly and happy are adhered with 3M Foam Tape. I really do love the flowers and Lawn Fawn Inks, it’s a nice simple layered set made even more fun with the jar! I hope that you like my card for today! Thank you for visiting today! Have a super Saturday! 🙂

SIP Challenge 87 – Kindness!

Made it through another Monday! LOL! The Store was fun with Renee’s Home Decor Class. I got to see my friends Melissa, Debbie and Marianne, we had a good laugh! After work I came home and had dinner with my Parent’s and the chatted with my friend Greg in Indiana for a while. So good to get all caught up! Today, more projects and crafty fun! 😀

Now it’s time for this week’s Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge…

Kindness, something we really need more of! The idea for today’s card started off with the world map and evolved from there. The world map is from the Concord & 9th Map Love Photopolymer Stamp Set and is stamped in Hero Arts Green Apple Hybrid Ink onto a piece of Moonstone that I cut out with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Ovals Stackables Lawn Cuts. I added some Hero Arts Clear Embossing Powder to the image and heat embossed it. My card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. All of my images and greeting are from the Hero Arts Acts of Kindness Photopolymer Stamp Set. I stamped the envelopes in Wet Cement and the hearts in Soft Pink, Pale Tomato and Crimson Hybrid. The greeting is stamped in Onyx Black. I adhered the world map piece with Fun Foam and Tombo Extreme and the card is done! I love that Map Love Set, it’s retired but I still have one left in the Store! The Acts of Kindness set is also a favorite and I’ll have those back in soon! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge! The rest of the Team has some great inspiration for you over on the BLOG so head on over and take a look!

Freshly Made Sketches 275

Ahh… the weekend! Any big plans for you peeps? I might have some but I’m not sure just yet! Yesterday was a nice day, less wind and a little warmer. The second day of Card Class was loads of fun as it always is! In between I managed to get my card made for today too! I did sneak out a little early, My last student finished at 4:30 and I left at 5:00. Had some dinner with the Parent’s and then watched Star War – The Force Awakens for the 20th time and Crash, I haven’t seen that movie in a long time! Today I think Renee has a make up class at the Store and I have lots of things to work on. Fun, fun, fun! 😀

My card that I have to share with you today is for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge…

I dug out an oldie by a goodie from Lawn Fawn! My card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. All of my images and greeting are from the Lawn Fawn Fintastic Friends Photopolymer Stamp Set. I heat embossed the greeting onto a piece of Tropical Sea and added a strip of Dark Molasses behind it and adhered it across the center of the card. My images are stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored in with Copics. I used the Coordinating Dies to cut them out and adhered them to a piece of Kraft that I cut out with the Lawn Fawn Fancy Scalloped Circles Stackables Lawn Cuts. That is adhered to the card with 3D Foam Squares and a few Pretty Pink Posh Sea Breeze and Sparkling Clear Sequins complete the card! I do still love that set with it’s cute fish bowl and greetings!

Bloom ‘n Butterfly

Hello my peeps and happy Saturday to you! I’m off to Manhattan this morning to see my friends Jim and Diane and hopefully meet up with my friend Kim to have some lunch! It’s been way too long since I’ve seen her! Yesterday was a quiet day at the Store. I think everyone was still trying to recover from the snow! Renee, Angie and I worked on projects and Renee got her new Ranger goodies put away. After work I came home and straightened up some more, ran to Target and then my friend Jim came by and we went out and had Pizza for dinner. A fun end to a good day! 😀

I wanted to make a simple card for today, but then decided that I wanted to do a little masking, not that that doesn’t mean that it’s not simple! My card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I stamped the butterflies from the the Reverse Confetti Butterfly Dreams Photopolymer Stamp Set in Lawn Fawn Merman, Peacock, Fresh Lavender and Sugarplum Inks masking them as I went up the right side. When my stamping was finished I cut the right edge off with my Scissors. I decided that I wanted to add something to the inside for a change so I stamped the leaves from the Reverse Confetti Blooms ‘n Buds Photopolymer Stamp Set in Lawn Fawn Freshly Cut Grass and Noble Fir Ink. They needed something to ground them so I ran a piece of Plum Glitter Tape along the inside edge of the leaves. Just a few Pretty Pink Posh Sea Breeze, Orchid and Amethyst Sequins and the card is done! I love the fun unexpected cut off edge and the surprise of the leaves and glitter tape inside! I hope that you enjoyed my card for today! Thank you for coming by! Have a superb Saturday! 🙂
