SUO91 Banner Fun Get Well Wishes

Hi Stampers! 

It’s that time again, a new SU-Only Challenge!!  The new SUO91 Challenge is “Banner Fun”- create a decorative banner or use banners on your project and the colors used were for the LOVEFEST2014F Color Challenge at Splitcoaststampers.   

I hope you will have the time to check out the rest of the fantastic Design Team projects as well as create your own and share with us :-)

I used My Digital Studio (MDS) along with traditional stamping, etc. to create this "hybrid" card : 

Ink the ledger stamp from The Open Sea using Soft Suede Classic Ink and repeatedly stamp onto a piece of Sahara Sand cardstock.  Using Soft Suede Classic Ink, add the Gorgeous Grunge details and sponge additional Soft Suede Classic Ink along the edges.  Adhere to the top half of the Early Espresso card base.

Using My Digital Studio (MDS) insert and print the ship from The Open Sea (I re-sized the ship down to a smaller size) and the sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes (enlarged a bit) onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock.  Punch out using the 1 3/8” Circle Punch, add a few shadows using the Sahara Sand Stampin’ Write marker and stamp with the Gorgeous Grunge splatter image (“huff” from previous inking in the first step) and sponge a bit of Soft Suede Classic Ink around the edges.

Mount onto a piece of Early Espresso cardstock (split the same size circle as the image), distress with the Distressing Tool and adhere to a circle of Cherry Cobbler.  Distress this layer as well and sponge a bit of Soft Suede Classic Ink to distress the paper. 

Create the banners using the new Sale-A-Bration (SAB) set, Banner Blast by stamping the chevron banner using Midnight Muse and Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink onto a piece of the SAB Designer Series Paper (DSP), Sweet Sorbet (I used the Sahara Sand piece) and the Love banner using Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock. 

Use the new Banner Punch to cut out the stamped banners and also create a few solid color banners from Soft Suede, Cherry Cobbler and the SAB DSP (hint- to create a longer banner, cut a piece of cardstock or DSP a bit smaller than the width of the punch and insert into the punch under the banner point area only to cut the points).

Trim the sentiment and create the banner points using the Banner Punch (again insert into the punch with the punch facing up and only insert the paper into the banner point end). 

Adhere to a strip of Cherry Cobbler cardstock, distress the edges and add the layer of banners under the strip.

Use the Big Shot™ with the Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Soft Suede cardstock.  Mount to the lower portion of the Early Espresso card base, curling the corners by hand and add the White Tea Lace Paper Doily (cut in half).

Adhere the Cherry Cobbler banner strip to the center and hide the seams of the two background panels.

Add the ship image using Stampin’ Dimensionals® along with Pearls to finish off the card.

Stamp Sets: The Open Sea (stamp and MDS version), Gorgeous Grunge,  Banner Blast, Teeny Tiny Wishes (MDS version)

Ink: Soft Suede, Printer Ink- Black; Sahara Sand Stampin’ Write Marker

Paper/Cardstock:  Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Sahara Sand, SAB Sweet Sorbet DSP

Accessories: Big Shot™, Stylish Stripes and Square Lattice Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folders, Tea Lace Paper Doily, Pearls, Sponge Dauber, Banner Punch, 1 3/8” Circle Punch

Thanks again for visiting!   I had fun creating this banner card and I hope you have a chance to create one and add to ourSUO91 Banner Fun Gallery- have a wonderful week stamping!

CAS Butterflies- Two Challenges in One!

Hi Stampers!!

While I still had the colors out for this week’s DD91 Dynamic Duos “Triple Threat” Challenge, I decided to create one more quick, easy Clean and Simple (CAS) card using the colors along with the FMS124 Challenge at Freshly Made Sketches (this one also qualifies for the LOVEFEST2014J Cute and Fun or Classy and Elegant Challenge at Splitcoaststampers).  

Again, if you have not had the chance to stop by to visit either one of the challenge sites yet, I would encourage you to do so- great ideas by all!

To create this card:

Cut three pieces of Basic Black cardstock for the vertical parts of the sketch (I flipped the sketch sideways and my pieces were approx. 1 ¼” x 3 ½”). 

Use the Elegant Butterfly to punch out the openings on each of the Basic Black cardstock pieces and mount a piece of the colored cardstock behind each of the butterfly openings.

Use the 1 ¼” Square Punch to create the banner points and mount onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock using Stampin’ Dimensionals®. 

Create the vertical piece of the sketch using scrap strips of the cardstock and add the two Whisper White brads at the top.

Dimensional layers 

Stamp the sentiment from the hostess set, Express Yourself using Basic Black Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock, create the banner points and adhere to the card front.

 Add the panel to the Basic Black card base to finish off the card.

Stamp Sets:  Express Yourself (hostess set)

Ink: Basic Black

Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, Melon Mambo, Tangerine Tango, Wild Wasabi

Accessories: Punches- Elegant Butterfly, 1 ¼” Square; retired Whisper White brads

Thanks again for taking the time to stop by- I hope you have a wonderful Monday!!

Feel Better Soon- A Color and Inspiration Challenge

Hi Again Stampers!

I wanted to take the time to share one more card that I created using the DD91Dynamic Duos Triple Threat Color Challenge along with the Fusion #4 Challenge and the LOVEFEST2014E Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoaststampers. 

Both sites have wonderful inspiration (of course, I am a bit biased regarding the Dynamic Duos site :-)) and hope you will take a chance to check them out!

To create this card:

Using My Digital Studio (MDS), insert the butterfly from the Touch of Nature stamp brush set and resize.  Print out onto a piece of 8.5x11 Whisper White cardstock and color using a Melon Mambo and Tangerine Tango Stampin’ Write marker (add a few shadows with the Sahara Sand Stampin’ Write Marker) and punch out using the 2 ½” Circle Punch.

To create the layers- emboss a piece of Whisper White cardstock using the Big Shot™ along with the Chevron Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder.  Cut in half and layer onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock (approx. 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”) and add the piece of Tangerine Tango Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the retired Summer Smooches DSP to the lower part of the card front.

Add the layered Top Note Bigz™ die cuts to the top half of the card (both from scraps and the Wild Wasabi piece was previously embossed using the Argyle Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder). 

Use the Fringe Scissors to “fringe cut” a piece of Whisper White cardstock, add to the horizontal panel of embossed Melon Mambo and Basic Black cardstock (all from my scraps) and add to the front of the card.

Add the split circle of Basic Black cardstock- cut the 2 ½” punched piece in half and adhere at the top and bottom of the Melon Mambo strip.  Add the Butterfly focal image and adhere the sentiment banner using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

Add the two Brights Buttons with retired Black Hemp Twine in the center of the Melon Mambo strip and mount the entire panel onto a Tangerine Tango card base to finish off the card (FYI- my husband says the buttons look like eyes- lol!!)

Stamp Sets: Express Yourself, Touch of Nature (MDS version)

Ink: Basic Black, Printer Ink- Black, Stampin’ Write Markers- Tangerine Tango, Melon Mambo, Sahara Sand

Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, Melon Mambo, Tangerine Tango, Wild Wasabi, Summer Smooches DSP

True North for the PPA192 Pals Paper Arts Sketch

Hi Stampers!

Yesterday I had the pleasure to spend time crafting with two of my best friends and after they left, I just had to create a card and finish up one I had started earlier this week :-)

This card was created for The Pals Paper Arts PPA192 Sketch Challenge –I decided to use this sketch along with a few new items to create a masculine card for my husband (who is my "True North" here on earth :-)) 

If you have not had a chance to check out The Pals Paper Arts site yet, I hope you will soon- great inspiration from all!

To create this card:

Ink the True North stamp from Hello Sailor using Smoky Slate Classic Ink and stamp a few times onto the High Tide Designer Series Paper (DSP).  Layer onto a piece of Pacific Point cardstock and use a Sponge Dauber with Smoky Slate Classic Ink to add ink along the edges.

Create the vertical piece of the sketch with another piece of the High Tide DSP- emboss with the Big Shot™ and the Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder, sponge a bit of Smoky Slate Classic Ink, mount onto a piece of Pacific Point cardstock and add to the card front.

On a piece of Whisper White cardstock, stamp the True North and whale images using Pacific Point Classic Ink and add a few shadows with the Sahara Sand Classic Write Marker.   Create masks for both images using scrap cardstock or sticky notes, mask the images and repeatedly stamp the ledger from The Open Sea using Smoky Slate Classic Ink (angling in different directions).    Add a few splatters with Smoky Slate ink using the splatter stamp from Gorgeous Grunge.

Trim the whale panel and sponge a bit of Smoky Slate Classic Ink around the edges.  Mount onto a piece of Pacific Point cardstock and again onto Smoky Slate cardstock- sponge Smoky Slate Classic Ink around the edges of these layers as well.

Create the rope from knotted Hemp Twine (retired) and add to the panel (again, I used Hot Glue - where has my Hot Glue Gun been all of these years- lol! )

Create the banner flags using the Sale-A-Bration (SAB) Banner Blast stamp set with retired Hemp Twine.  Stamp a few of the banners using Pacific Point and Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink, punch out using the Banner Punch (also from the SAB catalog) and lightly sponge with Smoky Slate.   Tie knots in the ends of the retired Hemp Twine and add the banners (I used Hot Glue to adhere to the twine), adhere to the panel and  mount the panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals® to finish off the card.

Stamp Sets: Hello Sailor, Gorgeous Grunge, Banner Blast (2014 SAB), The Open Sea

Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Pacific Point; Stampin’ Write Markers- Sahara Sand

Paper: Whisper White, Pacific Point, Smoky Slate, High Tide DSP

To create this card:

Layer a piece of Wild Wasabi onto a piece of Basic Black card stock and mount onto your card base (I used Whisper White but you cannot see the base in the photo).

The next step, create the color blocks for the background (don't forget to check your scraps :-))  I used pieces of Tangerine Tango Designer Series Paper (DSP) layered onto scraps of Basic Black and previously embossed pieces of Melon Mambo (also from my scraps that had been embossed using the Big Shot™ along with the retired Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder) again, layered onto scraps of Basic Black cardstock- have I said it enough?  I love my scraps!! :-)    I organize my scraps in sandwich size ziplock bags and keep them with card front size pieces of the same color cardstock.  Easy to find and easy to use!! 

Layer a piece of Whisper White cardstock onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock for the vertical layer on top of the color blocks.

Emboss a piece of Whisper White using Big Shot™ with the Pretty Print Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder and layer onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock.  Add the sentiment from Express Yourself (stamped in Basic Black onto Whisper White cardstock and punched out with the Large Oval Punch, layer onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock, also punched with the Large Oval Punch).  Adhere the sentiment on the side of the embossed Whisper White panel on the side. 

Mount the embossed panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

Create the focal quilt block using the Big Shot™ with the Quilt Die (from W9Studios), cut four quilts, one from each of the colors along with one from Basic Black cardstock.   Assemble the quilt onto a piece of Whisper White using Two-Way Glue (do not be too heavy handed on the glue).

Once assembled, layer onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock and emboss with the Big Shot™ and the retired Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder and mount to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

Create the paper bow from embossed Melon Mambo cardstock (again, embossed with the Big Shot™ along with the retired Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder)- punch two ovals using the Large Oval Punch, a small scrap for the center and a longer rectangular piece for the tails.  Cut the longer rectangular piece in half and create the points for the tails using the Hexagon Punch.  Adhere the two larger ovals in half using Mini Glue Dots or a Hot Glue Gun(use your Bone Folder first to softly curve the cardstock).  Adhere the two ovals to the small piece of cardstock scrap and add the two tails.  Add the Antique Brad to the center to finish off the bow and glue onto the card front.

Add the Pearl to the center of the quilt to finish off the card.

Stamp Sets:  Express Yourself (hostess set)

Ink: Basic Black

Paper/Cardstock:  Whisper White, Basic Black, Melon Mambo, Tangerine Tango, Wild Wasabi, Designer Series Paper- Tangerine Tango DSP Stack

Accessories: Big Shot™, Pretty Print and retired Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folders, Quilt Die (non SU! WPlus9 Studios), Punches- Large and XL Oval, Hexagon, Pearls, Antique Brad

Thanks again for taking the time to visit- I hope you can join in the fun with our DD91 Dynamic Duos “TripleThreat” Challenge!

CAS Patriotic Star

Hi Stampers!

I had a chance to stamp today and decided to create a card for LeAnne’s CAS PP183Challenge at The Paper Players along with the Splitcoaststampers Love Fest LOVEFEST2014GChallenge to use scoring and WT467 Starry Eyed Challenge. 

If you have not had a chance to check out both sites, I hope you will take the time to visit- great inspiration by all!

I love this retired star, Christmas Star and thought that it could be used for other occasions versus just for Christmas....I decided to create a patriotic card...

To create this card:

Use Stampin’ Write markers in Cherry Cobbler and Midnight Muse (alternating the colors for each panel of the star) and stamp the image onto Whisper White cardstock. 

 *** HINT *** “Huff” onto the stamp for a second image to be used at a later date before cleaning the stamp :-)

Carefully cut out the stamped image by hand and use the Simply Scored Tool to create score lines, fold onto the lines to create a dimensional star.

Ink the diagonal line image stamp from Gorgeous Grunge using Cherry Cobbler Classic ink,  the splatter stamp using Midnight Muse Classic Ink and stamp off before stamping onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock. 

Trim and adhere onto a piece of Midnight Muse cardstock, trim again and mount onto the Cherry Cobbler card base.

Stamp the sentiment from Express Yourself using Midnight Muse Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock.  Create a banner using the Hexagon Punch and mount onto a piece of Midnight Muse cardstock (using the Hexagon Punch to create banner points as well). 

Mount the star and banner to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.  Add a few Rhinestones to finish off the card. 

Stamp Sets: Christmas Star, Gorgeous Grunge, Express Yourself

Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Midnight Muse; Stampin’ Write Markers- Cherry Cobbler, Midnight Muse

Paper: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Midnight Muse

Accessories: Rhinestones, Hexagon Punch

Thanks again for taking the time to stop by and visit- I hope all of you enjoy the rest of the week!

Cat Doodling for the Splitcoaststampers LoveFest2014c

Hi Stampers!!

I decided to participate in this year’s Splitcoaststampers Love Fest 2014 and was inspired to create a card using Doodling for the LoveFest2014c Challenge. 

Here is the reference photo I used 

I used to draw all the time  but have to admit since I have been so focused on stamping and cardmaking, that I have not created any original art in approx. 10 years.  I have been feeling the urge to watercolor and create my original pen and ink drawings again, so who knows, maybe this challenge will get me started :-)

I decided that to draw my beautiful Maine Coon, nicknamed “Queenie” and used a photo to sketch from- again, this was a very quick sketch so please do not judge me too harshly.  

This doodling/ sketch took approx. 10 minutes and I had fun trying to capture her likeness.  She loves both my husband and I, but definitely favors my husband’s voice- it is hilarious how she behaves when he calls me on my cell phone (paws at the phone, meows loudly and prances around).  Of course, he never gets to see her behave this way- one day I will have to try to film her for him :-)

I drew the picture using a Pilot V5 Gel Pen (what I use every day to write, work, etc. – I am now a pen snob since I love this ink pen) and colored using Stampin’ Write markers in Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso for her fur and Garden and Gumball Green for the eyes.

Layered an embossed piece of Garden Green and Whisper White cardstock (from my scraps that had been previously embossed with the retired Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder) onto an embossed piece of Basic Black (Square Lattice Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder)- love my scraps!!

Added the sentiment from the retired Short and Sweet and the retired Pewter Hodgepodge Hardware and the card was finished.

Stamp Sets:  Short & Sweet (sentiment), cat drawing- Julie Gearinger original artwork

Ink: Basic Black (sentiment), drawing- Pilot V5 gel pen, Stampin' Write Markers- Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Garden Green, Gumball Green

Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, Garden Green

Accessories: Big Shot™, Square Lattice and retired Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder, Large Oval Punch, retired Pewter Hodgepodge Hardware

Thanks again for taking the time to visit and hope to see you join in on the challenges!

Celebrate with the SAB Petal Parade!

Hi Again Stampers!

I wanted to share one more card that I created today (well, yesterday now :-)) using the new Petal Parade set that you can earn from Sale-A-Bration :-)

This card was created using the Freshly Made Sketches FMS123 Sketch along with the CCMC290 Create with Connie and Mary Color Challenge.  I hope you will be able to take the time to visit both of the challenge sites and see all of the inspiration!!

To create this card:

Use the Big Shot™ with the Chevron Textured Impressions™

Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Whisper White cardstock, trim and mount onto a piece of Smoky Slate cardstock.

Attach two strips of Island Indigo ¼” Satin Ribbon (retired SAB ribbon) to the top of the card and adhere the Island Indigo ¼” Triple Satin Ribbon Bow.   

Mount the entire panel onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock and again onto the Island Indigo card base.

Stamp four images of the leafy spray image from Petal Parade using Island Indigo Classic Ink for two images and Smoky Slate Classic Ink for the other two images.

Use the 1” Square Punch to punch out the images and adhere to a layer of Smoky Slate cardstock,  Mount the entire panel onto a layer of Island Indigo cardstock.

Stamp the sentiment from the hostess set, Express Yourself using Island Indigo Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock and cut the banner points using the Hexagon Punch.  Adhere to a layer of Island Indigo cardstock and use the Hexagon Punch to create banner points as well.   

Mount the sentiment behind the stamped panel and add to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals®. 

Add the Daffodil Delight buttons with a piece of Smoky Slate cardstock in the center (to mimic thread) to finish off the card.

Stamp Sets: Petal Parade, Express Yourself

Paper: Whisper White, Island Indigo, Smoky Slate

Accessories: Big Shot™, Chevron Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder, 1” Square and Hexagon Punch, retired ¼” Island Indigo Satin Ribbon, retired Brights Buttons

CAS Christmas Deer- A Ten Minute Card

Hi Stampers!

Time flies so fast and now I am behind on my own commitment to create at least six Christmas cards a month (again, I did not mail any since I was behind last year- definitely want to make sure they are mailed this year in time) :-)

I tend to struggle with Clean and Simple designs but I keep trying so 

 I decided to try a quick, easy card for the CASology #82 Bold Challenge using the CTS64 Sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch! , colors from the NAC76 Nacho AverageChallenge and the Animal Theme from the Merry Monday #95 Christmas CardChallenge- again, each challenge listed has a link and I hope you will take the time to visit their sites!

This is probably the easiest card that I have made this year since I already had the die cut ready to go from an earlier project...less than ten minutes even if you have to cut the die :-)

To create this card:

Use the 2 ½” Circle Punch to create the moon from Blushing Bride cardstock and layer onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock.

Use Paper Snips or scissors to hand cut a wavy line across a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock- trim to approx. 4” wide and adhere onto the card front overlapping the “moon” a bit. 

With Basic Black Classic Ink, stamp the sentiment from the retired Short & Sweet set and add the Rhinestone accent.

Use the Big Shot™ to cut the deer die from Basic Black cardstock and add to the card front using Mini Glue Dots.

The card is finished- how quick was that??

Stamp Sets: Short & Sweet

Ink: Basic Black

Paper: Basic Black, Blushing Bride, Very Vanilla

Accessories: Big Shot™, Deer Die (non-SU!- Impression Obsession), 2 ½” Circle Punch

Thanks for visiting- have a wonderful Sunday!!

True Friend- A Monochromatic Study in Pink for Two Challenges :-)

Hi Stampers!

Since I have a few friends that love pink, I wanted to create a card for the Card Concept #3 Color Challenge-Monochromatic Pinks and also the Stampin' Royalty SR213 Photo Inspiration Challenge (the pink flowers and china were the inspiration for this card :-)).   

I hope that you have had a chance to check out both sites- wonderful examples and inspiration from all!

Not sure what style this card would be described as- possibly elegant versus shabby, chic since I did not distress the edges- what do you think?  

To create this card:

In My Digital Studio (MDS), open a blank 8.5 x 11 custom page and insert the Elements of Style image along with the sentiment from Simple Friendship- again, I have this stamp set but had these images already previously printed (also, re-sized a bit smaller than the stamp set) and ready to go…

Print out onto Whisper White cardstock and color the flowers using various Stampin’ Write markers in Blushing Bride, Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz and Pink Pirouette. 

Use the Big Shot™ with the Ovals Framelits™ to cut out the image and another oval cut from Melon Mambo cardstock.  Cut the Melon Mambo oval in half and adhere behind the focal image.

Use the Big Shot™ with the retired Holiday Frame Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Pink Pirouette cardstock, trim and adhere to a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock.

Add the horizontal strip of embossed Melon Mambo cardstock (from my scraps- previously embossed with the Square Lattice Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder.  Layer a piece of ½” Pink Satin Ribbon (from my stash) over the embossed layer and mount the entire panel onto the Pink Pirouette card base.

Add the focal image oval and sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

 

Create the rolled flowers from Melon Mambo and Pink Pirouette cardstock using the 1 ¼” and 1 ½” Scallop Circle Punches (punch out, cut a spiral towards the center, crimp with the retired Crimper Tool, roll up and adhere)  and the leaves from Pear Pizzazz cardstock with the Bird Builder Punch.  Add to the front of the card using Mini Glue Dots or a Hot Glue Gun. 

Add a few Pearls to the upper left corner and sentiment layer to finish off the card.

Stamp Sets:  Elements of Style, Simple Friendship (both MDS versions)

Ink: Printer Ink- Black, Stampin’ Write markers- Blushing Bride, Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz and Pink Pirouette

Paper: Whisper White, Melon Mambo, Pink Pirouette, Pear Pizzazz

Accessories: Big Shot™,  Ovals Framelits™, Square Lattice and retired Holiday Frame Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folders, Punches- Large Oval, Bird Builder, 1 ¼” and 1 ½” Scallop Circle, Pearls, ½” Pink Satin Ribbon (from my stash)
