Cupcake Truck

Here is the other card I made yesterday!  It is for last week's Sketch Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers.  I love how this truck turned out!  I colored it with Stampin' Write Markers and then one part of it, I used a blender pen to make it more watercolor-like.  I used some old DP called Cherry On Top.. I just love the bright colors!

Supplies:
Paper: Pool Party, Cucumber Crush, Watercolor Paper, Cherry On Top DP
Ink: Basic Black
Stamps: Tasty Trucks
Accessories: Stampin' Write Markers, Blender Pens

Here Come Peter Cotton Tail...

Hi!  I didn't get a chance to post yesterday, but I did STAMP!  This is the first of two cards I made.  I made this for The Paper Players challenge to use the theme of Easter Bunny!  I was at my mom's house and she has all the new Stampin' Up goodies, so I couldn't think of a cuter set to use than this one from the Occasions Mini called Basket Bunch.  I paired it with the new designer paper Succulent Garden.  I also used the new Watercolor Pencils.  They are pretty awesome and I will have to order some myself! 

I stamped the Bunny right on the circle cut out from Watercolor paper.  Then I stamped and used the framelits to cut out the basket and the eggs.

I think it turned out cute!

Supplies List
Paper: Sweet Sugarplum, Old Olive, Watercolor Paper, Succulent Garden DP

Stamps: Basket Bunch
Accessories: Basket Builder Framelits, Layering Circle Framelits, Stampin' Dimensionals, Watercolor Pencils, Blender Pen

Thanks.. for the layers!

 

Today has been on the warm side, but cloudy and rainy/drizzly all day.  My husband (poor thing) has been sick for what seems like a month.  He just can't get this cold or sinus thing knocked out, so he was laying low today and my daughter had her first sleep over last night with her cousin, so she has been pretty lazy as well.  It was the perfect time to make another card!

This is for The Paper Players challenge this week which is a sketch... with layers!  I love the clean & simple designs, but when I first started card making I LOVED layers and let's face it, I still do! I remember a day when it was almost a contest to see who could get the most layers on a card.  It was crazy.  I really like how this sketch used the circle among the rectangles.  It gives it a great look and will be a sketch I go back to when I need some inspiration.

My color combo is straight from the designer paper Sycamore Street.  I used Summer Starfruit, Island Indigo, and Rich Razzleberry.  I know, it seems old, but I barely have cut into this beautiful paper and had to use it!  I also brought out my most favorite stamp set of all called Live Your Dream.  It is a classic Stampin' Up set on wooden blocks... old school, ya'll!  Get ready because I have another throwback set sitting out to use next and it's another one of my favorites!

Paper: Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry, Summer Starfruit, Island Indigo, Sycamore Street DP

Enjoy the Ride...

Hello!  It looks like Sunday is going to end up being the day I get to stamp... that's better than nothing, right?  I'm still trying to get my groove back, so I played the Feature Stamper challenge from Splitcoast Stampers again this week.  This week's Featured Stamper is Papercraft Boutique.  She has an amazing Clean & Simple design profile and I enjoyed going through her gallery.

I ultimately settled on this card to CASe:

I kept the layout basically the same, but changed everything else.  I kept the bicycle theme, though because I thought it was super cute and remembered I had this image from Papertrey Ink that I'm not sure I've ever used!

I dug into some designer paper I bought from Stampin' Up before I went on my hiatus... I think I've used it once... it's called Sweet Dreams and I believe it was from a Sale-a-Bration several years ago.  I realize I have a thing about clouds because I used clouds on my card last week as well.. haha!

As always, thanks for stopping by!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend and have a great week!

Sky's the Limit

Wow, I haven't shared or made a card since OCTOBER 2015!  I knew it had been a long time, but I honestly didn't know it had been THAT long.  Things have been crazy and I don't find much time to myself.  When I do, I'm usually too tired to do anything but park myself on the couch and catch up on a few shows.  Right now I've been binge watching the original Dallas series!  It's always fun to see what good ole JR is up to and to catch up on all the 80's fashion.  I secretly love it...

Anyway, I was in a funk today and for once, I don't have any major house work looming over my head and my 3 year old was actually occupied for about an hour with Easter eggs and "squishys".  What is the deal with those blind bags, anyway?  That is for another day... but really, someone out there is making a FORTUNE off of parents who just need their kid to stop screaming for 1 minute.. HAHA! 

I had dug up some of my stamping supplies a few weeks ago with the intention of making a card for my cousin's baby shower.  But, once I unpacked everything from the closet... I was too tired and it has been sitting on my table for 3 weeks or so.  TRAGIC!  Today I decided I was going to make a card.  I was too lazy and honestly, knew I didn't have much time to dig through and contemplate colors and paper, so I went with what I had pulled out and just changed the stamp set.  I own nothing from the newest Stampin' Up catalog... I still have in color ink pads from two years ago that have never been opened... things are bleak in my crafting room.  Today is Sunday and I knew it was the Featured Stamper challenge on my go-to site, Splitcoast Stampers.  I decided I really needed a CASe to get me back in the swing of things.  I settled on this card by DJ Rants for several reasons.  #1, it featured hot air balloons which I am drawn to, #2 it was from 2011 which I feel like is in my realm of stamping supplies HAHA, #3 the layout was interesting.

I changed up the stamp set using the (I'm assuming retired) set Up, Up, and Away from Stampin' Up.  I also changed the colors and layout slightly.  Overall, I'm pleased with how it came out and I'm happy I was able to find time to create something.  I think it made me mentally more stable... HAHA!

Paper: Real Red, Night of Navy, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Maritime Designer Paper

Time to Chill

 Hi!  It's Wednesday which means there's another fabulous sketch over on Splitcoast Stampers!  I hope you can come play with us this week!  The sketch is super fun!

I am loving this set, Snow Place and the coordinating thinlits.  They are so adorable and very versatile!  I just had to use it along with some new designer paper called Home for Christmas for this week's card!

This sketch is super fun!  I hadn't made a square card in awhile, so it was fun to do one.  The snowman is stamped and cut out with the thinlits and popped up on dimensionals.  Everything is pretty straight forward on this card and I love how it turned out!

Thanks for stopping by!

Tis the Season!

 Hi!  Happy Wednesday!  There is a new sketch up at Splitcoast Stampers!  Hop on over and join us!

I will be the first to admit... this sketch threw me for a loop.  I don't know why, but I always struggle with angles.  To top it off.. the blade on my paper cutter decided to stop cutting nice smooth lines and was just demolishing the edges of every cut I made... GRRR.  I need to go get some new ones.. good thing I just received a $10 reward from AC Moore.. HAHA!  OH... and my Cherry Cobbler ink pad apparently is going back and so my image looks really bad in person.. thankfully, it photographed okay.  There are weird little pills on the stamp pad, like you get on your sweater.  WEIRD!

Anyway, I used my new set, Oh What Fun and made a simple Christmas card using the paper Trim the Tree from last year.  I think it was from last year... ANYWAY... I think it turned out pretty cute and was a good way to use up some scraps!

The ribbon is the Cherry Cobbler quilted ribbon.  I don't know what it is, but I cannot make a decent bow with that stuff, so I just knotted it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Paper: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Trim the Tree DP

Oh, What Fun

I always find myself starting to look forward to Christmas about this time each year.  I don't know what it is, but I dream of it getting here, but then when it does I just feel like it goes way too fast and I'm exhausted.. haha!  Anyway, the plus to being in the Christmas spirit early is that I get a jump on my holiday cards. 

Today's card is for the Pals Paper Arts challenge which is a sketch!  It is a pretty simple sketch this time and since it just required one small panel, I thought it would be fun to highlight some bigger print designer paper.  This paper is retired, of course, but I never really used it... Imagine that!  HAHA!  It is called Nordic Noel.  I paired it with one of my new stamp sets, Oh, What Fun! 

I like how this turned out and it was super easy to put together!

Thanks for stopping by!

From Santa

 Ever made a card and you were like.. YES THIS IS AWESOME!  Well, that was the feeling that I had when I made this card!  Look, I even heat embossed.. WHOA!  HAHA!  Last Friday, my mom and I had a stampin' day at her house and I got really creative with some of my new supplies, along with a few new goodies that had just come in.

I was inspired to do last week's Sketch Frenzy and I just kind of went from there.

The house is stamped and heat embossed with white embossing powder on Baked Brown Sugar card stock.  The Santa and reindeer are also heat embossed with white embossing powder.  The sentiment is from the new set, Oh What Fun!  I used the new Softly Falling embossing folder to make my snow.  The tag is made with a Chalk Talk Framelit with the slot punch added.

I can't remember what paper I used.. ACK!  It was some that my mom had a few years ago.  It is Stampin' Up.

Supplies:
Paper: Baked Brown Sugar, Real Red, Whisper White
Stamps: Holiday Home, Oh What Fun
Ink: Versamark, Gumball Green, Real Red

Pastel Butterflies

Whew... I'm trying to get caught up on my posts!  I actually have been stamping, but I haven't had time to take pictures and post everything!  I made this card last week for the Splitcoast Stampers color challenge to use Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz, and So Saffron with a dessert option of flowers.  I also added Smoky Slate as a neutral on my card.

I used that week's Mojo Monday sketch as well.

I used my Stampin' Write markers and aqua painter to do the coloring on the flower and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.  I used my color coach (why in the world did they get rid of that handy tool?) to determine which colors to use for shading.

The designer paper is called Nursery Nest and, of course, has been retired!

Supplies:
Paper: Pear Pizzazz, Smoky Slate, Water Color Paper, Blushing Bride, So Saffron, Nursery Nest DP
Stamps: Butterfly Basics

An Ode to Kiwi Kiss

 Hello!  Happy Wednesday which means there is a new sketch over on Splitcoast Stampers!  I love this fun sketch!  Hop on over and join us!

I think I've mentioned before that I don't make many Halloween cards.  However, I have this cute retired Halloween set called Tricky Treats that I haven't used all that much, so I thought I would give it some ink today.  The designer paper is ancient and I only have scraps of it left, but it is cute and figured I would drag it out once more!  It's called Ghostly Greetings. 

This card features one of my most beloved colors, Kiwi Kiss.  Unfortunately, the color has been discontinued, but I still have a few scraps remaining.  I am down to little tiny scraps, so I was lucky to find any to fit my card.  The ribbon is also retired and I only have a few small pieces of it left.  I had enough to make a knot, but not a full bow.  Ok, I'm sad.  I miss Kiwi Kiss!

I hope you're having a great week and that this card gets you into the Halloween mood!

 Supplies:
Paper: Basic Black, Kiwi Kiss, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Ghostly Greetings DP
Stamps: Tricky Treats
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Kiwi Kiss Striped Ribbon, Curly Label Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals, Circle Framelit, Dots Embossing Folder

Perk Up!

Happy Wednesday!  I am proud to announce that beginning TODAY, I will be on the design team for the Splitcoast Stampers Sketch Challenge!  I am super excited to be chosen!

This is my first week as a designer.  I just love this skech, it is simple, but different.  October brings cooler weather which means my coffee and tea intake go up which is what inspired this card!  I dug out an old set called Morning Cup for this challenge and I stuck with a warm color combination of Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, and Cajun Craze.  The designer paper is a retired series called Comfort Cafe which is the perfect name for my card... warm and cozy!

I hope you will slip on over to Splitcoast and join in the fun with us this week!  Make sure to use keyword SC561 when uploading to the Splitcoast Gallery so we can see all the beautiful cards in one place!

Supplies:
Stamps: Morning Cup
Ink: Cajun Craze & Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: Cajun Craze, Watercolor Paper, Comfort Cafe DP

Birthday Butterflies

It's still raining.... it has been raining since Friday, it is now Tuesday... I'm over it!  I know we needed rain really bad, but we've gotten too much in a short time and now things are starting to get a little dicey!  Especially inside my house... YIKES.

Today's color challenge on Splitcoast Stampers was a nice and cheery combination that had me feeling the warmth of the sun.  Today's colors to use are: Daffodil Delight, Marina Mist, and Soft Sky.  I added Basic Gray as a neutral.  The sketch is this week's Mojo Monday sketch.  It was supposed to be a tall and skinny card, but I just made mine a normal size.

I pulled out THREE stamp sets for this card.  The background image on my main panel is from Watercolor Trio.  The butterfly is from Butterfly Basics and the sentiment is from Elementary Elegance.  I'm not sure the last time I used this many sets on one card, but I think it turned out great!

The designer paper is from a retired series called Polka Dot Parade.  The ribbon and brads are also retired... you should know by now that I'm the retired product queen.. haha!

I hope you enjoy my card!

Supplies:
Paper: Marina Mist, Basic Gray, Whisper White, Polka Dot Parade Dp
Stamps: Elementary Elegance, Butterfly Basics, Watercolor Trio
Ink: Marina Mist, Soft Sky, Daffodil Delight
Accessories: Stampin' Dimensionals, Curly Label Punch, Marina Mist Polka Dotted Ribbon, Basic Gray Corduroy Brads

Cake & Ice Cream

Disclaimer: this card is majorly crooked and I got tired of fighting with it and just let it be.

Hello!  Happy Sunday!  I hope you've had a wonderful weekend.  It has been raining here since Friday.  We need the rain, but I'm getting a little tired of it at this point.  You would think I would be motivated to get things done around the house since we can't go outside and do anything.  You would be mistaken.  My motivation level is at a 1. 

And just a quick vent before I get to my card for today.  Don't label a recipe EASY when you have to use a saucepan, saute pan, baking sheet, pie pan, every measuring cup I own and most all of my measuring spoons.  Granted, I should have thoroughly read the recipe before I started, but SERIOUSLY?  EASY?  Easy to me is one dish, BAM we're done.  It wasn't that any of the actual cooking or preparing was HARD, it was just really annoying.  Like, REALLY ANNOYING!  And the cleanup was not easy either. 

ANYWAY.... I started this card after I had completely destroyed the kitchen and I was annoyed.  Hence why it is crooked and I didn't even care.  I swear sometimes the cardstock is crooked to begin with because there is no rational explanation to why it wasn't straight when I laid it all out.

Enough of my ranting.  This card is for today's Feature Stamper challenge on Splitcoast Stampers and for the Create with Connie & Mary challenge which was to use Watermelon Wonder, Calypso Coral, and Blushing Bride.  Now, I started this challenge thinking I had Watermelon Wonder ink or at least the marker... No, I don't have either one.  FAILURE!  I made due, but my Stampin' Up order just got bigger... I'm off topic again.

The Featured Stamper today is known on Splitcoast as Penny Strawberry and she has a really fun gallery.  She does a lot of punch type art, so I knew I was going to use a variety of punches on this card.  I settled on this one to case:

I kept the ice cream theme, but used the Sprinkles of Life stamp set.  I also kept the layout the same.  I did use different designer paper; Cherry on Top and I used the colors from the Create with Connie & Mary challenge.

I hope you enjoy my crooked card!

Supplies:
Paper: Blushing Bride, Soft Suede, Watermelon Wonder, Whisper White, Calypso Coral, Cherry on Top Dp
Ink: Soft Suede, Calypso Coral
Stamps: Sprinkles of Life

Spoooooky

Hello!  Long time, no post!  I had a little bit of a hiatus while I was on vacation and then went back full time to the studio.  Luckily, I am getting settled into a routine!  I actually have stamped some, but it is for design team stuff that I can't post yet... but soon, very soon, I can share it with you!

Today's card is for this week's sketch challenge on Splitcoast Stampers!  I will be the first to admit that I took some artistic liberty on this and hopefully it will still count!  As soon as I saw the sketch, I knew I wanted to pull out my Holiday Home set and do something with a moon.  Since I'm not quite ready to start on Christmas cards, I thought I would do a Halloween one.  I know, this set is retired, but I don't feel like I have used it as much as I thought I would.  I have seen so many cute Halloween cards made with it and wanted to give it a try.

My card was inspired by this card by Debbie Henderson. 

The sky is sponged with sponge daubers with Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight.  The moon is made with a piece of Daffodil Delight card stock cut into a circle.  The house is watercolored using an aqua painter and also colored with Stampin' Write Markers in Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie.

I hope you enjoy my card!

Supplies:
Paper: Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Watercolor Paper, Daffodil Delight
Stamps: Holiday Home
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Stampin' Dimensionals, Holiday Home Framelits, Basic Black Taffeta Ribbon, Sponge Daubers, Stampin' Write Markers, Aqua Painters

Sending Bright Wishes

Happy Friday!  This week has flown by and I have been too busy to get much stampin' done!  I had a few minutes today and knew I wanted to sit down and do this week's sketch challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers!  I paired it with this week's ColourQ which was a bright combination of Lovely Lilac (retired), So Saffron, Taken with Teal (retired), and Tangerine Tango.  I will admit, this color combo scared me a little, but I do think it's fun.

I used a technique called Distress Stain Watercolor Technique.  I don't own any distress stain inks that they used in the tutorial, so I just used Stampin' Write Markers and an aqua painter pen.  I think it turned out pretty good!  I do with I had added a little detail on the flowers, but oh well.. it's done now.. haha!

I hope you enjoy my card!  I will be offline for a week or so while I spend some time with my family, but I will see you after Labor Day!  Have a great week!

Supplies List:
Paper: Lovely Lilac, Watercolor Paper, Taken with Teal, International Bazaar DP
Stamps: Butterfly Basics
Ink: Lovely Lilac, Tangerine Tango
Accessories: So Saffron Taffeta Ribbon, 1'' Circle Punch, Taken with Teal, Tangerine Tango, Lovely Lilac Stampin' Write Markers, Bitty Butterfly Punch

Snappy Snappy

 Happy Monday!!  I hope you've had a great start to your week!  Monday means a new Mojo Sketch!  Woo hoo!  I am settling back into a stampin' routine and it couldn't feel better!  Of course, once I get back to work... well, we will see how it goes!

I decided to use a retired, but much loved set today called Crab & Company.  It was one of the very first Stampin' Up sets I ever bought and I still love it.  I also pulled out my Prisma Colored Pencils and my Odorless Mineral Spirits to color him!  Does anyone still use colored pencils?  I feel like so much emphasis is on markers now, so it was fun to do something different.

I hope you enjoy my card!

Supplies List:
Paper: Tangelo Twist, Crushed Curry, Birthday Bash DP
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black & Bermuda Bay
Stamps: Crap & Company
Accessories: Linen Thread, Large Oval Punch, Stampin' Dimensional, Prisma Colored Pencils, Odorless Mineral Spirits, Scallop Circle Nestabilities 

Whimsical Mosaic

Happy Sunday!  I hope you've had a great weekend!  Mine has been pretty good!  I'm super tired today from working at the studio all day yesterday.  We enlarged one of the dance rooms and we had to start cleaning and laying the floor down.  So, I'm feeling that today!

This card is for today's Sweet Sunday Sketch and for the Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge!  The color challenge was to use Pool Party, Tangerine Tango, and Lost Lagoon.  I only own the Lost Lagoon marker, so that made it quite a challenge.  I literally have no Lost Lagoon cardstock and the only designer paper I have for it just didn't go with my design.

I've seen a lot of negative die cut images lately and thought I would give it a try with the old, but very loved, Top Note Die!  The middle piece was cut from Pool Party cardstock, then dry embossed with the Modern Mosaic embossing folder.  It's hard to see the embossing in my picture, though.  I cut around the edges of the Pool Party top note layer so I would have a white border.

I used my paper piercing tool and template to do the paper piercing on the two corners of my top layer.  The sentiment is from a long retired set called Whimsical Words.  The other two layers are stamped with Mosaic Madness.

I hope you like my card!

Supplies:
Paper: Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, Pool Party
Ink: Tangerine Tango, Lost Lagoon
Stamps: Whimsical Words & Mosaic Madness
Accessories: Paper piercing template & tool, Pool Party Cotton Ribbon, Top Note Die, Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder, Lost Lagoon Stampin' Write Marker

Moose

Holy MOOSE!  This card was a super duper challenge for me.  Besides the obvious which is I used an image that is completely out of my normal style, I chose to do a sketch that was challenging with an angled layer.  The sketch is this week's CAS(e) this Sketch challenge.  I'm pretty sure my card doesn't qualify as CAS, though.

This card went through so many transformations.  At first, I was going to use the tree image that is in this set... oh, the set is an ancient Stampin' Up set called Pines. The date on it is 1998.  I think I stamped and re-cut that doggone angled layer about 10 times before I finally decided it just wasn't working for me.  Originally, I had stamped the moose onto River Rock cardstock and cut him out, but I wasn't happy how it looked... I tried mounting it on an oval.. hated it, tried just placing it on the card, nope.  Finally, I just did a simple square layer with the moose.

Since I was using an ancient set, I decided to dig up some old designer paper.  This paper is called Apple Cider and I've had it forever... and I still have way more of it... ANYWAY, that led to me digging out some old embellishments.  I found a container of unopened 5/8'' neutral brads, so I threw those on there, used my scallop border punch and some trusty Chocolate Chip striped ribbon.

This card literally took me over an our to make and it serves no purpose whatsoever, but it was good to stretch my limits a little and do something different!

Oh, this is also for today's Free For All challenge on Splitcoast Stampers to use an odd number of stamps.  I used one!

Supplies:
Paper: River Rock, Close to Cocoa, Very Vanilla, Really Rust, Apple Cider DP
Stamps: Pines
Ink: Close to Cocoa
Accessories: Stampin' Dimensionals, Scallop border punch, 5/8'' neutral brads, Chocolate Chip Striped Ribbon, Linen Thread

Get Your Santa On!

Here is my card for this week's Mojo Monday Sketch!  I decided I should probably get started on some of my Christmas cards, so this was the perfect time to do it!  I loved this sketch and will definitely use it again.

The stamp I used is from the Stampin' Up set, Get your Santa On.  It is super cute, but it is retired.. of course, HAHA!

The paper is also retired.  It is called Holly Berry Bouquet.  It has some really cute glittery paper in it that I used for my background. 

I stamped the Santa on watercolor paper and then colored with Stampin' Write Markers.  The stars were punched out with the small star punch.

Everything else is pretty straight forward!

Thanks for stopping by!

Paper: Very Vanilla, Wild Wasabi, Watercolor Paper, Holly Berry Bouquet DP
