SUO Challenges 84

Glad to see that we all made it through another Monday. Mine was filled with meetings and the usual office shenanigans. It was another nice day, a little windy, but not too cold. This morning however, it’s really windy and promises to get a lot colder, winter is back again. I really don’t mind it’s little appearances, lets just hope that it doesn’t overstay it’s welcome!

My card today is for the SUO Challenges and this time our theme is let it snow. I decided on a nice simple card, sometimes you just need one don’t you?! The base of my card is Gumball Green Card Stock. I used a piece of Pool Party for the background and stamped the snowflakes from the Snow Day Stamp Set in Pool Party randomly. My tree is from the Special Season Stamp Set and is heat embossed with Gumball Green Stampin’ Emboss Powder. The greeting is from the Greetings of the Season Stamp Set and is stamped in Gumball Green. This would be a great card to mass produce because while it’s simple, the embossed tree gives it that little something extra! Thanks so much for coming by today to see my simple card for the SUO Challenges let it snow challenge. Head on over to the blog to see what the other clever designers have come up with and don’t forget to post your card in the gallery! Have a simply enjoyable day!

SUO Challenges 83

As far as Monday’s go yesterday wasn’t too bad. Work was bearable and it was nice and quiet when I got home. It was really cold here but it’s supposed to warm up later in the week. I spoke to a friend last night on the phone, something that I don’t really do as most people just usually text these days. I also got to sit at the craft desk for a while and just play. We all know there is nothing I like more than that! Tomorrow is gym day and I am looking forward to that too!

Today’s post is for the SUO Challenges Design Team. This time around we ask you to use your favorite greeting. I didn’t even have to think about this one, I knew right away just what I would use. The base of today’s card is Cherry Cobbler Card Stock. I used some Brushed Gold Card Stock and the Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for the background. The little snowflakes are from the “Vintage” Northern Frost Sizzlit Decorative Strip Die and are cut out from Whisper White. I stamped my greeting using the “Vintage” Heart of Christmas Stamp, heat embossed it with some Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Emboss Powder and rounded the corners. Behind it is a piece of Cherry Cobbler that I cut out with the Deco Labels Collection Framelits Dies and used the Essential Paper-Piercing Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool to pierce just the top and bottom. A piece of Champagne Glimmer Paper punched out with the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch goes in the middle and Stampin’ Dimensionals hold the pieces to the card. I really do love the Heart of Christmas stamp and was sad to see it go with last year’s Holiday Catalog. I was also happy when I found my Norther Frost Strip Die, I had forgotten that I had it! Thanks very much for stopping by to see my Design Team card for the SUO Challenges blog. Speaking of blog don’t forget to to head over and check out the other designers projects and enter yours in the gallery. Have a good day! 🙂

SUO Challenges 82

Sometimes my job is absolutely insane, well, most of the time. I work in a very busy department, we “help” out everyone in the building. I’m lucky because I really do like the four people in my department and my boss is just a really good person. Every once in a while when you do go beyond what is really your job something nice happens. There was a presentation today with Pace University and I offered to do the media set up. Our IT Department is mostly useless and I do like to make sure that the CEO and COO don’t look like fools. After the presentation they both thanked me for making myself available to assist and that they knew because I was there it would go smoothly. Amazing how something so simple as a little thanks can make your day. 🙂

Enough blathering! LOL! Today is a busy day at Stampin’ Up! First they have extended the Join for $25 promotion for one more day. It was supposed to end yesterday but now it will end tonight at 11:50 Mountain Time. If you have been on the fence here are some little things that you should know:

Choose $25 ($26.95) in Stampin’ Up! product for your kit, the kit ships for free too. Upon ordering your kit, you are immediately eligible to place a Demonstrator order and receive a 20% discount.

Place a $150 or more on a Demonstrator order within 45 days and get a one-time 30% discount. You also earn Host(ess) Rewards on your purchases before your discount.

Place a $150 or more Demonstrator order within 30 days and earn a FREE stamp set of you choice from the 2013-2014 Annual Catalog. Free stamp set is redeemable on your first demonstrator order in December.

Place a $250 or more Demonstrator order in October and earn $25 in additional Host(ess) Rewards. That means with a $250 product order you would get $65 in in Hostess Rewards instead of the usual $40.

Purchase the kit for just $25 today and, starting tomorrow thru October 28th Stampin’ Up! will be offering 25 stamp sets at 25% off. Place a Demonstrator order during the stamp sale and you’ll get your Demonstrator discount in addition to the 25% savings.

Finally, if you join now you will have until March 31, 2014 to meet your $300 quarterly sales goal to stay an active Demo. $100 a month on Stampin’ Up! is easy to do if you are going to be a Hobby Demo and even easier if you are thinking about earning a little extra cash by hosting a workshop.

Sign up under me and you get DAILY (every day for the past two years!) Inspiration! As a bonus I’ll even help you when you are ready to set up your blog! 🙂

It’s also Tuesday which means there are new Weekly Deals. The following 6 items are on sale for this week only for 25% off!

Now for the reason you spend a little time with me, today’s post and it’s for SUO Challenges. This time around we are given a theme… Harvest. When I thought of that I immediately thought of the Harvest of Thanks Stamp Set, I know, genius right?! LOL! I did want to mix it up a little to keep things interesting! For the base of my card I used some Elegant Eggplant Card Stock. A piece of Early Espresso Core’dinations is embossed with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and lightly sanded with the Stampin’ Sanding System. Next up is the backdrop for my main image which is made using the Truly Grateful Stamp Set and some Crushed Curry Ink. I stamped the image twice, trimmed it and backed it with a piece of Cherry Cobbler. The main image is from the Harvest of Thanks Stamp Set and I stamped the image three times, once in Cherry Cobbler, again in Elegant Eggplant and finally in Crushed Curry. They are cut out with the Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies and I used my trusty Paper Snips to separate the pieces and then some Stampin’ Dimensionals hold it all together. I like the colors together, especially the brightness of the Elegant Eggplant, I haven’t used that color in a while. I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for the theme challenge over at SUO Challenges. Visit the blog to see what the other Design Team members have for inspiration and enter your card in the gallery for us to see. Thanks you so much for visiting today. Have a great Tuesday! 🙂

SUO Challenges 81

It was officially a Monday yesterday! I have given up all hope of catching up at work and I am just going to go with it. They can add much faster than I can subtract! LOL! The weather here yesterday was a little sunny in the morning and then it got gradually gloomier until it started raining around 5:00. I guess that’s the end of our glorious weather, and I was enjoying it so much! All good things must come to an end as they say. Did you have a good Monday? I hope so!

For today’s post I have my card for the SUO Challenges. This time around we are asked to make a masculine project. I know most people think dark browns or dark blues but I’m a guy and I like all sorts of colors! I went with the metal look and some bright blues.

The base of the card is Pacific Point Card Stock with a layer of Tempting Turquoise. I used a piece of the Silver Foil Sheets with the Chevron Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for the top of the background. All of the stamped images and greeting are from the Rev Up the Fun! Stamp Set and are stamped in Pacific Point and Tempting Turquoise except for the tire tracks, they are stamped in Basic Gray. Some chevrons punched out with the Chevron Border Punch, again in Pacific Point and Tempting Turquoise, give the card a little motion in front of and behind the race cars. I’m really glad that I got the Rev Up the Fun! set, I have used it a lot more than I thought I would! I’m also loving the bright blues with the SIlver Foil Sheets and they emboss really nicely. Thanks so much for taking some time to stop by and see my card for the SUO Challenges Design Team. I hope you’ll head on over to the blog to see the other designers cards and enter yours in the gallery. Have a great Tuesday everyone! 🙂

SUO Challenges 80

It’s always hard getting back into reality for me when I am away for more than the standard 2 days. Even more so when I have actually gone somewhere! Today was not a bad Monday but things are about to ramp up at work so I’d better enjoy it while I can. I still can’t believe the amazing weekend that I had. I told my friend Daniele today that I would prefer it if I could Zip-Line to work every day! It’s nice to be home but I really did have a great time away!

Time sure moves at a rapid pace because it’s time once again for SUO Challenges. For this challenge we have a theme for you, welcome baby. I figured it has been a few days since I have used my favorite new products, the Thinlits Card Dies! LOL! The base of the card is Strawberry Slush Card Stock cut to 5 1/8″ x 8 3/8″ and run through my Big Shot with the Label Card Thinlits Dies leaving the right edge over the top. The main image is from the Zoo Babies Stamp Set and is stamped in Wisteria Wonder and cut out with the label die that comes with set. The greeting is from the One in a Million Stamp Set, the front one is cut out with the banner die and the inside with the label again, both stamped in Wisteria Wonder. All of the elements are cut out from Wisteria Wonder using the various elements included with the Card Thinlits. A fun but simple card with plenty of room on the inside to write. I really do love the Card Thinlits but I like them even better with the extra flap! Thank you, as always, for stopping by to see my SUO Challenges Design Team card for the welcome baby challenge.

SUO Challenges 79

Before I get to anything else today I wanted to let you know that beginning on September 12th you can order the Stampin’ Up! Magnetic Platform for the Big Shot. This is a must have accessory for your framelits! No more Post-It notes to hold them in place. I have had mine for a few months and I use it all the time. They were on backorder for a while but they are back in stock. I’m thinking this is Stampin’ Up!’s way of celebrating my birthday! LOL! Isn’t that nice of them?!?! Here is a picture of the sandwich used with the Magnetic Platform:

So if you don’t have one and have wanted to get one Thursday is the day people! 🙂

Yesterday was a little cool here but very nice. My cold seems to be getting a little better and I got to thank my friend Danielle in person for sharing it with me! She was supposed to go skydiving on Sunday but they waited for two hours and it was too windy so they have to try another time. I think I may join her the next time she goes! 🙂

For today’s post I have my SUO Challenges Design Team card for you. This time around we were asked to use our favorite techniques. I do have a lot but I love to use my Stamp-a-ma-jig and a Blender Pen and this is the card I came up with. The base is Baked Brown Sugar Card Stock. For the background I stamped a piece of Pistachio Pudding with a stamp from the Make a Wish Stamp Set in Pistachio Pudding using my Stamp-a-ma-jig to create the pattern. The main panel consists of two images from the Sketched Birthday Stamp Set stamped in Jet Black Staz-On and colored in with my Blender Pen and some Baked Brown Sugar, Calypso Coral and So Saffron Ink. I cut it and a piece of Baked Brown Sugar out with my Circles Collection Framelits Dies and used some Stampin’ Dimensionals in between to adhere them. The greeting is from the same set and is cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies. I cut out a piece of Baked Brown Sugar to back it with and keep it consistent with the main images. I really like the background created with the repeated stamp, it’s gives a nice change from DSP or embossing and the stamps from the Sketched Birthday set are just fun! Thanks for dropping by to see my Design Team card for the SUO Challenges Favorite Technique challenge. Head on over to the blog to see what my fellow Design Team members choose for theirs and enter one of your creations in the gallery! Have a great Tuesday!

SUO Challenges 78

Hey there! How is everything going? I’m much better than I was yesterday. My headache finally went away around 11:00am. I don’t think I have had one like that in a long time and hopefully not again anytime soon! It was nice here again today with a little more cloud cover and they are saying rain for tonight into tomorrow morning. Hopefully it will be nice for the three day weekend coming up! I do love a three day weekend! 🙂

Today I have my card for SUO Challenges. This time we have a ribbon and bows challenge for you. I decided to use some of the 1 1/4″ Burlap Ribbon, I have had it for a while and thought it was about time to break it out. The base of the card is Soft Suede Card Stock. The background is just a plain piece of Sahara Sand and I adhered the 1 1/4″ Burlap Ribbon around the back with Sticky Strip. I also used another piece behind the sentiment to hold it flat. The panel is then mounted to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The image is the new Wonderful Blessing Single Stamp and it’s stamped in Midnight Muse and cut out with the Circles Collection Framelits. I brayered one of the Tea Lace Paper Doilies in Midnight muse and backed it with a piece of Midnight Muse that I also cut out with the Circles Collection Framelits to make it a little more sturdy. The whole thing is adhered to the card with more Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love the nice big size of the Wonderful Blessing Stamp and these would be great to make a bunch of for Christmas! Thanks so much for coming by to see my card for the SUO Challenges Ribbon and Bows. Head on over to the blog and check out what me teammates have for inspiration and add one of yours to the gallery. Have a fun Tuesday! 🙂

SUO Challenges 77

Rain, rain go away come again another day. Hello there! It’s going to rain here and it is supposed to be heavy at times so that should make for a fun day! I have been spoiled by all the beautiful weather we have been having lately. So let’s see, work was insane yesterday, not the best way to start off the week. I’m hoping that I got all of the craziness out of the way and the rest of the week will be smooth sailing. Now that is wishful thinking! LOL!

For today’s post I have my project for SUO Challenges and this time it’s birthday’s…

It was my boss’ birthday last week and this is the card and coordinating gift bag that I made. The base of the card is Rich Razzleberry Card Stock. For the background I embossed a piece of Smoky Slate with the Perfect Polkadots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and backed it with a piece of Bermuda Bay. All of the stamped elements are from the Cycle Celebration Stamp Set. I stamped the candles in Versa-Mark and heat embossed them with Smoky Slate Stampin’ Emboss Powder and some Crystal Effects are added to the flame for a little shine. The greeting is stamped in Bermuda Bay and again in Rich Razzleberry. The Bermuda Bay one is punched out with the Decorative Label Punch and the Rich Razzleberry one with the Large Oval Punch. Some Stampin’ Dimensionals adhere all of the elements to the card. The gift bag is just a white one that I picked up from the craft store. I used some Smoky Slate Textured Card Stock and cut it out with the Gift Bow Bigz L Die. The sentiment is stamped in Bermuda Bay on Very Vanilla and is backed with a piece of Rich Razzleberry. I flagged the ends of both pieces and adhered it all to the bag with some Sticky Strip. I love the color combination and the Smoky Slate Embossing Powder gives the candles a waxy look! My boss loved the card and and bag and I hope you do too. Thank you very much for stopping by to take a look at my SUO Challenges card for the birthday’s challenge. Stop by the blog and see what the my teammates have come up with and enter a project of yours in the gallery! I hope that you have a super day! 🙂

SUO Challenges & Display Project 3

Yup, it was definitely a Monday yesterday! It was a little long and busy, not my favorite day. How was your day yesterday? I did get to come home and craft though so all is was good in the end. 🙂 Tonight I’m going out to dinner with my co-workers and that should be a lot of fun. I like them and I think we are having Mexican and I like that too! I have my third Display Stamper project for you at the end of the post so don’t forget to take a look, no cheating! LOL!

Today’s post is my card for the SUO Challenges Design Team. This time around we have a Back to School theme for you…

I don’t really have anything current that I could think of so I dusted off an oldie but a goodie! The base of my card is Pacific Point Card Stock. The background is a piece of Real Red that I embossed with the Alphabet Press Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Yes, I created the piece of notebook paper with my Stampin’ Write Markers and the “Vintage” Spiral Border Punch (a favorite of mine!). I used Melon Mambo and Pool Party as I thought they were the closest to actual notebook paper colors. All of the images are from the “Vintage” First Day Stamp Set. The A+ is punched out with the 1 1/2″ Circle Punch and backed with a piece of Gumball Green that is punched out with the 1 3/8″ Circle Punch. I used some Whisper White Bakers Twine on the tag and the apples are punched out with the 1/2″ Circle Punch. I really love the primary colors and the images in the set are still pretty neat. I also love that Alphabet Press EF! Thank you for taking some time to stop by and see my SUO Challenges Design Team card for the Back to School challenge. Head on over to the blog and see what my talented team mates have done and enter your project in the gallery. I hope you have a great day and don’t forget about the Display Stamper 3 project at the end!

SUO Challenges 75

Hello! I got a very nice surprise when I got to work yesterday. I was looking at my email and a little notice popped up saying the my vacation starts today!! I’m smarter than I think sometimes! LOL! Most of my stuff is finished, I just have to pack! Now where is that suitcase?!

Today’s post is for the SUO Challenges Design Team. This time we have a theme challenge for you and it’s Get Well cards.

The base of my card is Bermuda Bay Card Stock and I embossed a piece of So Saffron with the Honeycomb Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for the background. The greeting is from the Tag It! Stamp Set and is stamped in Tangerine Tango. I cut it and a piece of Bermuda Bay out with the Chalk Talk Framelits Dies and adhered the to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The fun flowers are from the Flower Shop Stamp Set and are also stamped in Tangerine Tango. I used the coordinating Pansy Punch to punch them out. I made the middles by punching out some Bermuda Bay with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack and using my uni-ball Signo Gel Pen I made the little dots. A Mini Glue Dot adheres them to the flowers and Stampin’ Dimensionals adhere them to the card. It’s a simple and pretty card to send to someone that is feeling under the weather. The colors sure have brightened my day! Thank you very much for stopping by to see my Design Team card for the Get Weel challenge from SUO Challenges. Check out the blog to see the other designers cards and enter yours in the gallery. Have a great day! 🙂
