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! 🙂

Freshly Made Sketches #77

Hello everyone, how are we today? I’m good but that was one big bad Wednesday! I’m glad that’s done and we are almost at Friday! It was a really nice and sunny day here on Long Island yesterday. The weatherman said that it’s just a taste and that today it will be in the 20’s! It was 50 degrees here yesterday, that’s quite a drop! Time for the thick coat once again, maybe for the last time… we can only hope. 🙂 A quick thank you to Theresa for pointing out that I forgot that I used the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch on the right side of the main panel of the card that I posted yesterday! 🙂

So, for today’s post I have my Freshly Made Sketches card for this week’s challenge. I have to say that I really like their re-design that they did over on their blog. This week we have a sketch from Jennifer T….

I have been having a very good run with my visual memory this week. I saw the sketch and immediately thought of the new Best of Flowers Stamp Set. For the base of my card I used a piece of Basic Black Card Stock and the background is a piece of First Edition Specialty Designer Series Paper. A strip of Lucky Limeade is embossed using the Borders Scoring Plate. I pierced the right side and a “Vintage” Sweet Shop Jelly Bean Brad is placed there and some SNAIL and Sticky Strip hold it to the card. The layer behind the main image is a piece of Primrose Petals that I embossed with the Chevron Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The main image, as I mentioned before, is from the Best of Flowers Stamp Set and I used my Primrose Petals and Lucky Limeade Stampin’ Write Markers to ink it. The greeting is from the Essentials Wood Mount Set and is stamped in Basic Black. I backed it with a piece of Basic Black and adhered it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love the way the black looks with the Primrose and Limeade, it gives it a touch of elegance. I hope that you like my Freshly Made Sketches Card for this week’s challenge from Jennifer T. It’s always a pleasure to have you visit and leave me a comment, I hope that you have a super Thursday!

Paper Craft Crew Sketch 33

TGIW! Thank god we are halfway through the week. I don’t know what is up at work lately but I want to run! LOL! I just think I need a little mental health day, have I mentioned that before?! The weather didn’t help with the mood, it was gloomy and rainy all day. Again, it’ better than snow! Hehehe! I have a something funny to tell you. My friend Kim is going away and I offered to take her to the airport before I asked the time of the flight. The flight is 6:00am Saturday, which means that we have to leave my house at 3:30am. What have we learned? To ask what time the flight is first! LOL! I would have done it anyway, but it’s pretty funny no?!?!

Since today is Wednesday that means it’s Paper Craft Crew day! This week we have a sketch for you…

I do love a square card! I did something that I thought was a little cool with the sentiment on the card too. The base of the card is Elegant Eggplant Card Stock. The background is a piece of Very Vanilla that I stamped with the En Francais Background Stamp in More Mustard. The panel in the middle is stamped with an element from the Oh, Hello! Stamp Set in Elegant Eggplant. I backed it with a piece of Elegant Eggplant and adhered it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The flower is made by punching two pieces of Elegant Eggplant put with the 7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch and using my Paper Snips to cut the petals. I put a Basic Glimmer Brad in the middle and fluffed up the petals. The leaves are punched out from Always Artichoke using the Blossom Petals Builder Punch. A small strip of More Mustard is flagged and adhered to the panel and the flower is adhered with a Stampin’ Dimensional. The greeting is stamped in More Mustard on Vellum Card Stock. I used my Heat Tool to speed the drying and then a strip of More Mustard hides the Stampin’ Dimensional that I adhered it to the card with. I really like the way the greeting stands away from the background but you can still see it. I will definitely do this again, I really like the effect. I hope that you enjoy my Paper Craft Crew Design Team Sketch card for this week’s challenge. Let me know what you think of the greeting and thank you so much for checking in with me. I hope that you have a wonderful Wednesday! 🙂

Pals Paper Arts 154

Yup, it’s Monday again! Ugh! Anyway, enough complaining. Did you all have a good weekend? I had a nice one. I spent some time with the child and got some crafting done. Next weekend I’m going to try and fit in some relaxing, we’ll see how that goes. The weather you ask… LOL… it was a bit chillier than they said it was going to be yesterday but I have high hopes for today. High as in temperature!

Today I have my Pals Paper Arts card for you. This time the fine folks over there have given us a color challenge…

A different color combination, not one that I would have thought of. The base of my card is Raspberry Ripple Card Stock. The paper I used for the background is from the Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack. For the greeting I choose the Vintage Verses Stamp Set from Sale-A-Bration. I stamped it on a Very Vanilla Square in Calypso Coral and backed it with a piece of Calypso Coral. I used the Labels Collection Framelits Dies to cut out the middle of a piece of Raspberry Ripple and adhered it over the greeting with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The flower is punched out from a piece of Calypso Coral with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack and there is a Basic Jewel Pearl in the middle. I stamped the butterflies from the Bloomin’ Marvelous Stamp Set, also from Sale-A-Bration, in Calypso Coral on Very Vanilla. They are adhered to the card with Mini Glue Dots and I slightly bent the wings up a little. I like the color combination a lot more than I thought I would. The three colors actually go quite well together. I hope you enjoyed my Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge card and as always, thank you very much for visiting! I hope you have an interesting Monday!

Paper Players 136 🙂

A very good Sunday morning to you all! Did you forget to spring forward? If it has the word spring in it I will definitely remember! We loose an hour but it’s a for a good cause, warmer weather is on the way. It was actually pretty nice here yesterday. Most of the snow is gone and I think it got up to around 50 degrees. It was so nice that I did drive around with top down on the car, just for a little while. 🙂

Sunday means it’s time for this week’s Paper Players Challenge. As always, before I get to this week I want to congratulate Stacey for being my choice for Cut Above for last weeks In Stitches challenge. You can see the winners list here. This week we have a color challenge for the wonderful Nance…

I was a little worried when I first saw this combination but after playing for a bit I love it! The base of my card is Early Espresso Card Stock. I used some White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and my heat tool to emboss the greeting from the Vintage Verses Stamp Set from Sale-A-Bration right on the base. Directly above that is a piece of paper from the Brights Collection Designer Series Paper Pack. Next, I adhered a Tea Lace Paper Doily with some SNAIL. The tag is created with my Simply Scored and some Pool Party. I used the Little Leaves Sizzlit to cut out two piece of Lucky Limeade. The rolled paper roses are made using the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch and some Regal Rose. A little inward circular cutting with my Paper Snips and some hot glue and they are ready to be adhered to the card with Mini Glue Dots. The butterflies are from the Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set. I stamped them in Regal Rose and used the Elegant Butterfly and Bitty Butterfly Punches to punch them out. Some Stampin’ Dimensionals adhere both them and the tag to the card. I have been wanting to make some rolled paper roses for a while, I don’t know why I put it off for so long, they were super easy to make. I hpoe that you enjoyed my Paper Players Guest Designer card for this week’s color challenge from Nance. Thank for checking in with me today and I hope that you enjoy your Sunday!

Trans-Atlantic Thanks

Yeah! Happy Saturday! Thank god that week is done. It really did feel like the longest week ever. I wasn’t the only one who felt that way, I took a poll. So it snowed here most of the day yesterday. I think the total was 8 inches but the funny thing was after 12:00PM the more it snowed the less there was on the ground. I don’t think I have ever seen that before. I’m looking forward to the warmer temperatures this week. I don’t have any plans for this weekend, just going to lay low and get some crafting done, how about you?

Today’s post is for a card that I made to send to my Aunt in England. She is a wonderful person, very kind and generous. I needed a card that would be able to make the journey so I had to keep the embellishments to a minimum. I also thought that something English on the card would be fun. The base of the card is Very Vanilla Card Stock. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the border from the Sent with Love Stamp Set in Riding Hood Red. The stamps on the card are from a long retired set called Office Ephemera. I got it from ebay a while ago, mainly for the script and stamp images. I stamped them in Sahara Sand randomly. The phone box is from the Feeling Sentimental Stamp Set from Sale-A-Bration and is stamped in Basic Black and cut out with the Ovals Framelits. The greeting is form the Oh, Hello! Stamp Set and is stamped in Riding Hood Red with the right side flagged. Both the oval and the greeting are adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love the border from the Sent with Love set and the way it gives the card that airmail feel. I hope that you enjoyed my Trans-Atlantic Thank You and thank you f0r stopping by today! Here’s to an very enjoyable Saturday!

Create with Connie and Mary 242

Woo hoo! It’s FRIDAY!! I am so happy that this week is over, it seemed much longer than any week in recent history. Work was really busy and will be for a while, can’t wait for that to stop too. How are you all doing today? Well, it snowed here last night and we got about 3 inches. On a positive note it’s supposed to be in the 50’s over the weekend, crazy weather but I’ll take it!

For today’s post I have my Create with Connie and Mary Challenge card. This week the dynamic duo have given us a color challenge…

I have to say that these are some of my favorite colors, especially Summer Starfruit. 🙂 My inspiration for today’s card came from Pinterest. The base of my card is Summer Starfruit Card Stock. I took a piece of Very Vanilla used my Summer Starfruit Stampin’ Write Marker and the Color Spritzer Tool (that I forget I have even though it was one of the first tools that I got from Stampin’ Up!) to make a nice subtle background for my card. The large flagged piece is Raspberry Ripple. I used the Borders Scoring Plate with my Simply Scored Scoring Tool to make the zig zag pattern on it and flagged the bottom. Some SNAIL adheres it to the card. Next up is a piece of Primrose Petals that I cut out with the Delicate Doilies Large Sizzlit and cut in half. The greeting is from the Oh, Hello! Stamp Set and is stamped in Raspberry Ripple on Very Vanilla. I spritzed it too and put a thin strip of Primrose Petals across the top before I flagged the bottom. Behind it is a piece of Summer Starfruit that is again flagged. I used one of the Designer Builder Brads on the top. For the center image I stamped the banner image from the Itty Bitties Stamp Set in Summer Starfruit, punched it out with the Itty Bitty Punch Pack and adhered it with some Multipurpose Glue before I adhered the epoxy dome to it. The whole piece is adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love the simplicity of the card and you know I love some flags! I hope that you enjoyed my Create with Connie and Mary card for this week’s color challenge. Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you have an awesome Friday!!

Freshly Made Sketches #76

Ahh… Thursday, you are so close to Friday and that makes it a good day! It snowed here but it didn’t start until around 10:00 last night so now they are saying that it won’t end until Friday night. I really hope that it’s just rain. I know, I complain a lot about snow but I have a convertible and she’s mad that she hasn’t gone topless in a while! 😉

Keeping to my schedule this week today is Freshly Made Sketches day. Thais week we have a sketch from Linda S….

My card is based on Mary Fish’s tutorial that she posted earlier in the week. You can take a look at it here. I liked the punched out butterflies with the DSP behind them and the little ones in the middle and I thought it would work well with this sketch. The base of my card is Sahara Sand Card Stock. The Pool Party panel has the butterflies punched out using the Elegant Butterfly Punch. Behind it is a piece of Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper from Sale-A-Bration. I adhered the Pool Party panel over the DSP with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The little butterflies in the middle are punched out with the Bitty Butterfly Punch from Island Indigo. I stamped the buttons from the Itty Bitties Stamp Set in Tangerine Tango and punched them out with a standard hole punch. The bitty butterflies and the buttons are adhered with Mini Glue Dots. The greeting is from the Curly Cute Stamp Set and is also stamped in Tangerine Tango. I like the dimension and interest that the butterflies give the card while still keeping it simple. We all know that Sahara Sand is my new Crumb Cake! I hope that you like my Freshly Made Sketches card for this week’s challenge. Thanks for sharing some creativity with me today. Have a wonderful day everyone!
