Some Different Challenges

Hello, and Happy Friday!

Today I have cards for 3 different blog challenges that fit specific card needs I had.  The first is from The Paper Players, which I need to link up in the next few minutes!

Several weeks ago, Splitcoast had a color challenge of black/white & red.  I had a few ideas, but never put them together.  Then, this Paper Player theme challenge to use a dog or cat came along and I decided to put them together.

I am a Lay Dominican, and Dominicans (friars and sisters) are known for their black & white habits.  As a layperson, I don't wear a habit, but I received a pin which is black and white when I said my temporary profession.  Anyway, one of our chapter's longtime members recently moved to Texas.  He is an older man who told delightful stories at all of our monthly meetings.  Our group is just a bit different without him.  Why the dog?  One of the symbols for St. Dominic is a black dog, running with a torch in its mouth  (to set the world on fire with the Gospel.)  I wanted to do a torch, but it didn't work with this puppy.

I dry embossed the black & white card front with this cute paw print folder from Darice.  My image is from PaperSmooches "Cuddly Chums," stamped in black and colored with basic gray, smoky slate and real red markers, then popped up on a scallop circle.  The sentiment is from SU's "Just Sayin'" with the coordinating Word Bubble framelit.  Red candy dots finish it off.

Next, I have a Clean and Simple design using the palette from this week's ColourQ challenge.  I am also submitting it to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge...my first time posting there!  I found it through someone else's blog.  You know how that goes.  Anyway, this week they are asking for a one layer card!  WooHoo! They are also featuring Paper Smooches this wek, which aren't used in this card, but in the one above.  I love that I found this challenge today!  I actually made several attempts before coming up with this card.  You see, I never finished my Christmas cards, so I am sending Valentines to some friends who didn't get Christmas greetings.  I tried to combine a Christmas image with the colors, but I kept making a mess with the gold embossing powder.  I finally decided less is more!   I used the thick SU whisper white for a single layer card.  Using the challenge colors and "Work of Art," I created a simple abstract background.  The sentiment is from "Trust God," embossed in gold and on a scallop oval.  I added gold cord behind it...which made it a real trick to adhere!  LOL I am going to make a dozen tonight, simplifying the gold detail and give them to a few friends at church this weekend.  Just wanted a different take on Valentine's Day!

Thanks for coming by...I'd love to read your comments below!

Happy Anniversary, Paper Smooches!

Hello, and Happy Monday!!

I set this post up LAST Monday...good grief!  Any who, I am excited to celebrate the Paper Smooches 4th Anniversary!  I was unfamiliar with this company, but then I won a gift certificate last fall from Hope You Can Cling To over at Splitcoaststampers.  I bought some goodies for Christmas, and I am having FUN with them!  I wanted to have 2 cards tonight, but I have to wait for some background paper to dry.  So, just one card in this post.  I have made other cards featuring Paper Smooches that you can see HERE, HERE, and HERE.

My card is for the ColourQ challenge, along with the 2nd VSN Mini challenge, which was to incorporate a critter from the children's program "Little Bear."  I chose a cat.  I rarely put pink and orange together, so this color challenge was initially tough for me.  But I figured the pumpkin pie would work well for this cute kitty!

My card base is pretty in pink.  I added a layer of whisper white with 2 strips of what looks like pattern paper.  But they are actually stickers from a scrap book kit that was a part of Sale-a-Bration several years ago!  Use that stash!!  My image panel includes this cat from Paper Smooches "Chubby Chums."  I colored her with my pumpkin pie and creamy caramel markers, and a touch of pretty in pink for her nose.  The sentiment is from the same set and I simply swooshed my melon mambo marker underneath, then layered it all on real red pattern paper.  The enamel hearts are from Anna Marie, and were purchased online at a scrapbook site.  My final touch is the melon mambo organza ribbon from SU.

I am seriously in love with these Chubby Chums!  If my other card dries on time, you will see an edited version of this post with another critter!

Thanks for stopping by!

Exciting and Colorful News!

Hello, and Happy Tuesday!!

Anyone who follows my blog knows that I LOVE color challenges.  Well, imagine my excitement when I received a private message on SCS asking me to be a Guest for the Color Challenge Design Team!!  WooHoo!  I squealed so loudly, my husband asked what was going on!  He is happy for me, even though he doesn't know a garden green from a wild wasabi!  LOL

So, this week's colors are melon mambo, pink pirouette and whisper white.  The dessert is to use vellum. This was tricky for me on two counts.  First, I often use pink with other colors, but rarely feature so much pink on one card.  Then there was the vellum.  I wasn't even sure if I had any, but then remembered a small stack of 4x6 pieces in different colors and patterns.  I decided on this white piece with swirls.  I like it over the pink pirouette, and I think it goes well with this stylized flower from "Friends Never Fade."  Yes, I use this image a lot...but I LOVE it! In addition to the 2 shades of pink, I also used my smoky slate marker, then cut it all out with the scallop circle punch.  I used "Teeny Tiny Wishes" again with the word window punch.  My accessories are the melon mambo organza ribbon, and some silver beads from a big box store.  They are part of my stash that I am continuing to whittle away.

I hope you can join the challenge this week.  I'll be visiting galleries to see what everyone creates.  Thanks for checking out my blog again today!

Love this Sketch

Hello, and Happy Monday!

I have a card for last week's color challenge (basic gray, bermuda bay, and strawberry slush) and the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.  I combined them into a Valentine card.  All of the supplies I used are from Stapin' Up!

My card base is basic gray.  I added a layer of whisper white, which is dry embossed with the fancy fan folder.  I used my heart framelits to cut out 2 hearts.  One is simply a solid strawberry slush heart.  I stamped this heart image from "You Are Loved," using my markers to color it.  I wanted to add just a few bermuda bay highlights.  The framelit was larger than this stamp, so I sponged the edges with more bermuda bay, then popped it up with dimensionals.  The sentiment is from "Three Little Words" punched with the small oval.  I used the retired triple heart punch for the small heart.  Grabbing my canister of ribbon scraps, I found this polka dot ribbon, and just trimmed it up a bit.  

I really like this sketch, and may create some more Valentines using it.  I also love these bright colors against the neutral gray and white.  Hope you like the combination of these challenges!

Stamping, yes...Blogging? Well...

Hello Stamping Friends!

So yes...it has been a while since I have posted.  That's what happens when stamping is, sadly, not my day job!  Plus, I had some minor surgery on my foot recently,and the pain medicine made me too dopey to stare at a computer screen!  I am just going to make quick comments on these cards, just to get back in the swing of things...here goes!

This first card was for a Saturday Inspiration challenge on splitcoast.  This was my inspiration piece.  I am not a huge fan of the color summer starfruit...but it is growing on me.  I really like it with black or basic gray.  I used several punches in this card...ornament, large oval, 3-step bird (branch), boho blossom,  and large scallop circle.  I also used my Big shot for the sizzlit leaves and lots of dry embossing:  the new SU spring vine (not sure of the name) and retired snowburst?  Good grief...ever since dropping my demo gig, I have forgotten so many names!  The dsp is from SU's Patio Party.  I just *had* to add color...so I have some of these in-color flowers, adhered with glue dots, in raspberry ripple and primrose petals.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes, stamped in raspberry.  Taffeta ribbon finishes it off.

My next card was the Valentine for my dear hubby.  He was in the Navy years before we met.  When this Flopsey image went on clearance at My Favorite Things, I snatched it right up!  Truthfully, I tried to paper piece...like so many MFT DT members.  But my fine motor skills stink!  LOL  So I stuck with my SU markers...and learned that even at age 47, coloring will always be fun!  I grabbed my old pack of SU Blueberry Crisp dsp.  (Still trying to use up some stash).  I used my Big Shot and Tasteful Trim die to make the various waves for the front and inside.  The card base is sahara sand,  and I stamped onto very vanilla.  The clouds are stamped in pacific point, clouds from SU's You Send Me Soaring.  Flopsey and his boat are colored with creamy caramel, sahara sand, pacific point, riding hood red, and pacific point.  I popped up the sentiment with dimensionals, and added striped grosgrain ribbon tags (also SU).  Inside, I wish I had stamped the sentiment also in riding hood red...oh well.  I added texture with the cloudy day embossing folder.


That wasn't very "quick", was it??
Thanks for stopping by this neglected blog!  Hope to read your comments soon!

Friday Mashup! #44...All You Need is Love

Hello Stampin' Friends! It's Friday, and that means it is time for another Friday Mashup challenge!! Heidi has a fun challenge that combines inspiration with colors! Here it is:

1. Make a project using the Inspiration Photo


2. Make a project using the colors Cherry Cobbler, Regal Rose, and Whisper White


3. Or Mash it Up...and make a project using the inspiration photo and the colors cherry cobbler, regal rose, and whisper white!
   

I really like the options in the photo, and decided to focus on the tea setting. I love tea, and I love having tea with a good friend! With the colors, I decided to make a Valentine for a friend. Even though I just got a fabulous new SU stamp set called Tea Shoppe, I pulled out Morning Cup. Guess I was being lazy, cuz my new stamps haven't been opened yet! LOL! I started with a regal rose card base. I rarely use this color, so it was good to stretch a bit. To mimic the plate, I cut out a scallop circle with my Sizzix die in the Big Shot. I stamped images from Morning Cup in basic black ink, and colored with markers, using regal rose, cherry cobbler, crumb cake, and going gray. I lightly sponged the bottom with crumb cake and the top with bashful blue. The sentiment is from You're a Gem, punched out with the oval punch, layered over the scallop oval and popped up with dimensionals. The hearts are from my new embosslit from the Occasions Mini Catalog! Finally, I added a strip of polka dot cherry cobbler ribbon. (Technically, I added it first...I am just mentioning it last...LOL!)

Be sure to check out the Friday Mashup blog and join in the fun! Be sure to use keyword FM44 in your online gallery.

Manly Valentines!

Hello Stamping Friends! I am posting a couple of Valentines which are geared a bit more toward guys. I hate to stereotype...but let's face it. So many Valentines are frilly, sparkly and filled with pink! As a card maker, it is tough for me to create interesting guy cards to begin with. Add that challenge to a holiday marked by roses and chocolate, and it's easy to get stumped! But with a little outside-the-box thinking, I came up with some fun creations!! I actually CASED myself on both of these...but hey, if you like a card, why not tweek it just a bit for a new purpose!! My new purpose is a small fund raiser. I am selling Valentines for a local network of service organizations. You can read about my busy project by clicking on the tab Projects for LIFE!

This first card is a combo of elements from this anniversary card and this get well card. I started with a basic black card base, adding a strip of black pattern paper. Using my Extreme Elements stamp set I stamped in cherry cobbler and basic gray ink. The Extreme Guitar is heat embossed...black craft ink AND black embossing powder to get it solid! I added a star in cherry cobbler and a sentiment from the Hostess set Perfect Words punched out with an oval punch. Silver brads, and long-ago retired red twine finish it out.

The next card features the Nautical Expedition dsp and The Open Sea stamp set. I CASE'd this birthday card I recently made for my brother-in-law. My card base is early espresso, and I used early espresso bakers twine. I stamped with not quite navy, cherry cobbler, and early espresso ink on whisper white card stock. The sentiment is from Word Play...isn't it perfect for a Valentine?

Thanks for stopping by! Inky {{{HUGS}}}

Hello and Happy Friday! It's time for another Friday Mashup http://www.fridaymashup.com/ challenge!! Today Rita has a fun color challenge that is perfect for the upcoming holiday... Valentine's Day...combined with a great technique.

1. Make a project using Paper Piercing
2. Make a project using the colors Blushing Bride, Riding Hood Red, and Early Espresso
3. Or Mash it Up...and make a project using Paper Piercing and the color combo

I made a card using the color combo, but COMPLETELY forgot the paper piercing! Good thing the Mash Up is optional...LOL!! Frankly, I am lousy at paper piercing, so maybe my subconscience was just dreading it too much! Any who...here is my card:

I started with a Blushing Bride card base...love this color!...with a strip of early espresso quilted ribbon wrapped around the front. The panel on the left is very vanilla, with punched out hearts embedded with the square lattice impressions folder in my beloved Big Shot. I used my regular heart punch, as well as the Heart to Heart punch to get the different sizes. I used the pattern paper stacks for the early espresso hearts as well as the scallop trim borders. The whole layer is popped up with dimensionals. The sentiment is from Delightful Dozen, stamped in riding hood red on very vanilla, and punched out with the decorative label punch, and layered over a touch of riding hood red. More dimensionals make this a plump cards. I like plump cards...they match me! LOL!

Be sure to check out the great creations from the rest of the design team over at the Friday Mashup blog http://www.fridaymashup.com/ . Use keyword FM42 in your online gallery. Can't wait to see what you create!!

Love a Double Challenge!

Hello everyone! I am posting AGAIN this week....wow! Nothing like a New Year to get me on the right track! Today I have a card which is well...different...for me at any rate. I combined this week's Freshly Made Sketch challenge with a very tricky ColourQ challenge. I think "tweens" when I look at the colors, but it's been a long time since I have been a tween! LOL!! But I wanted to try some blog challenges just for fun, and this is my end result. I believe that writing up a blog post with 2 challenge icons is a real trick...so we'll see how often I do this! LOL!!

All of the products used are from Stampin' Up, though some are retired.I don't have any Going Gray ink or card stock, so I used Basic Gray for my card base. I added horizontal strips of pretty in pink card stock with some long-ago retired "ribbon originals." The melon mambo layer is a piece from last year's Sale-a-Bration catalog. Just want this to prompt you to check out this year's SAB items... *wink*. I stamped I {Heart} Hearts in the challenge colors on whisper white card stock. I used my scallop trim border punch to coordinate with the scallop design on the dsp. Finally, I added a pretty in pink heart stamped with Well Scripted in basic gray. Truth be told...it covers up an unfortunate smudge! Shhhhhhhhh...don't tell anyone!!

Colorful Valentine

Hello Friends! It's the 2nd Tuesday of the new year, and my 2nd splitcoaststamper color challenge! WooHoo!! I'm on a roll! This week's color challenge was posted late last night, so I had time to think about it. Nonetheless, I ended up with something COMPLETELY different in my final project!! LOL! The colors this week are blushing bride, riding hood red, and baja breeze...how fun is that? I decided to make a Valentine. It also fits the theme challenge over at the Paper Players challenge: All You Need is Love. (I am singing that Beatles song right now!)

I started with a blushing bride card base. I used the Stampin' Up set "You are Loved" for this fun image, coloring it with my markers in the challenge colors plus pear pizzazz, stamping it on to very vanilla that was cut out with the top note die. My lower panel is baja breeze, embossed with the elegant lines impressions folder in my Big Shot. These layers are popped up with dimensionals. I used my heart punch, as well as the heart-to-heart punch to add some detail. My hearts are in riding hood red and some retired blushing bride dsp, all embossed with elegant lines. Finally, I added both blushing bride ribbon in the middle of the card and baja breeze seam binding at the top.

Inside, I added some more hearts and this wonderful sentiment from the same stamp set "You are Loved." I already know who is getting this card...but shucks, I have to wait almost a month to mail it! Hope I don't forget!

Thanks for stopping by! Wonder if I can make it three weeks in a row... come by next week to find out!!

Collection of Valentines

Hello there! Even with 2 snow days this week...or maybe because of it...my mojo was frozen! Took me forever to find it...but this weekend it returned!

I made several Valentines, duplicating a few designs. I hope to sell some cards. Stampin' Up has several stamps you can use for their "Angel Policy." It allows you to sell projects made with their copyrighted images... and for me, it is a way to recoup some of my expenditures. Trust me, I don't "make" money at this...I spend much more! LOL!! At any rate, I'll bring some to work, as will my hubby. Here are just a few examples...

The first two cards combined a color challenge from two weeks ago...soft suede, elegant eggplant and riding hood red...along with today's featured stamper challenge. I used the same card stock and neutral DSP, and the same stamp set, Love You Much. I added satin ribbon and retired eggplant ribbon originals (the ric-rac). One card used buttons, the other brads.. I cut the birds out for the first card, making a better CASE of this card. But, ugh. I can't cut well! So, I made another version, stamping on a scallop circle,and mounting it on a layer cut out layer, using the Big Shot and the Sizzix circle die. The brads make the card much easier to mail, too. I also decorated the inside of each of my cards. Well, the first one was done after Bruce took a picture!

The next card is very different for a Valentine...in fact, it is simply a card about love, so it really could be appropriate any time of the year. This week's color challenge was a tough one...river rock, basic gray, and whisper white. I drew a blank. But yesterday's Inspiration challenge gave me some help. The inspiration site had this odd gift...and the neutral tones with simple geometric shapes inspired my card. I used my heart punch, and after taping them down, I ran the entire layer through my big shot with the square lattice folder (an idea I saw on another demos blog.) I added large antique brads which are gorgeous! I didn't want to say the usual Happy Valentine's Day on the front...but why not say "forever", right? It's from Fabulous Phrases, which is a wonderfully versatile stamp set. For a change of pace, I stamped it on a modern label punch, but cut off one end...then added a basic gray brad and popped it up on dimensionals.

There's more...but seriously,I need to go to bed!! Hope you all have a great mojo-filled week!!

Pearly Pinks

Today's Color Challenge on SCS was perfect for me as I am preparing for two Valentine stamping days. The colors: Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo, and Cherry Cobbler. I would never have put the melon and cherry in the same card...but hey, that's why these are challenges!

I used I {Heart} Hearts to make my own dp with the two lighter colors stamped on whisper white. I decided that rounding the corners would add just a touch of detail. My scallop oval punch and modern label punch were already out on my messy table, so why not pull out Teeny Tiny Wishes for the perfect sentiment? I stamped it in cherry cobbler and used my melon mambo marker to outline it. The Subtles Pattern Paper Stack provided a nice polka dot to coordinate with one of the stamped images. Satin ribbon and basic pearl jewels finish with a soft feminine look.

Which Valentine?? You can Vote!

So, I always have a tough time making a Valentine for my dear hubby Bruce. Guy cards are just a challenge for me period. So, I made 2 cards...and I may even try a third one tonight while he is at work. I set up a silly poll on the left...you can let me know what you think.

Here's the first one...this week's splitcoaststampers Ways to Use it challenge, "Odds are..." You had to use an odd number of each element...so I have 3 ribbon stripes, 3 brads, and 3 hearts. The colors are quite different for a Valentine, but Bruce has blue eyes. Blue is his favorite color too. Colors used are night of navy, kraft, soft suede and brocade blue.

The next card uses a more traditional color palette...and I had fun using my black satin ribbon in a different way. The main shape is the famous-how-did-I-stamp-without-it Top Note die. After I cut it out, I ran it through the Big Shot again with a texturz plate. That cute little verse is from Define Your Life set.

Again, all products used in these cards are available from Stampin Up...just click here.

So, what do you think??

Sketch It!

As you know, I spend a lot of time on splitcoaststampers...and I have learned a lot about this craft while hanging out there. One tool that has helped me is the daily challenge. I don't participate every day, but when I do it is a lot of fun.


On Wednesday's, they have a "sketch challenge." This doesn't mean you have to draw...thank goodness!! I can't draw at all, that's why I stamp! LOL!! I found out in card making "sketch" refers to the layout, such as using a square in the center, or a circle in the corner.


This week's sketch can be found here. I made 2 cards, one horizontal, one vertical. Both also use color challenges. This first one uses chocolate chip, pretty in pink, and rich razzleberry, with very vanilla as my neutral. The colors are dark, but maybe you can see the scallop trim border on the center layer. Made that with the Sale-a-bration punch, of course! The hearts are punch out of Sending Love designer series paper, and the verse is from Teeny Tiny Wishes, punched out with the modern label punch on dimensionals. I added ribbon on top...of course!!







The next one uses a totally different color palette...chocolate chip (ok, that's the same!) dusty durango and sage shadow. Kinda funky colors, dontcha think? Note the center layers and three images again...same sketch. I'm tellin' ya, these sketch challenges are fantastic! I used my scalloped circle punch and the retired (boohoo) stem silhouette stamp. I added the greeting from the set On Your Birthday. Grosgrain ribbon on top, and I ran the center layers through my Big Shot with an embossing folder. Cool, huh?


If you get stuck on how to design a card, jut look to the sketch challenges...they are a big help!!


All products used in these cards are from Stampin' Up. Wanna get some?? Click here to my business website to order online!!




Happy Stamping!

Batch of Valentines

I ususally don't get into Valentine's Day cards, except for my hubby and my mom. But this year, I made several...prompted by the workshop I had last week. I made a few more very simple cards so I can send them to some card-making friends and family.

This first one was for a splitcoaststampers color challenge: basic gray, bravo burgundy, and crushed curry. Tough combo, but I kinda like the results. The designer series paper is Razzleberry Lemonade, and I used my new Sale-a-Bration punch. Stamps are from I {heart} Hearts and Fundamental Phrases.

I made a couple of cards for a "Stamp-a-Stack" event at my house. Friends order a certain number of card kits that I design...I prepare the materials...then they come over and stamp! It's great for people who like a hand-crafted card, but who don't have room for all of the supplies. I made this card using Melon Mambo, Whisper White, and Razzleberry Lemonade dsp. I {heart} Hearts was used again, with rich razzleberry, crushed curry, and melon mambo ink. The white layer was cut out on my Big Shot with the Top Note die...and I added just a bit of melon mambo ribbon. Cute, huh?

Then I made a super-duper CAS (Clean and Simple) Card. With the right punches...like this heart and the modern label punch...you can create something so quickly! I used the adorable Sending Love specialty designer paper...it's got sparkle!! Real red and very vanilla card stock and a pretty in pink grosgrain ribbon finish it off.


There's more...but right now, I want to stamp! Catch you another day!!

Valentine Girls' Night Out

So...I am mostly a "hobby demo" for Stampin' Up. Like thousands of stampers, I LOVE the quality of products, and so I buy a lot...maybe more than I need...Nah! Well, after my hubby got a better paying job in the summer of '08, I signed on as a demonstrator so I can get a 20% discount on everything I order! I say to him "Honey, I spent your overtime today." LOL! Bless his heart, he supports my habit, I mean hobby. After all, I make cards for the family, cards for the ministry...truly it is something I love.

I do have some stampin' friends from years ago who wanted me to start a monthly club. We met once a month for 10 months in my home. I showed them new techniques, and they purchased supplies like stamps and card stock. We also take time to eat, 'cuz, well, why not?? I love having customers and sharing this hobby with them.

Here it is 2010, and my club will be starting in February...I can't wait! But before that, I actually will host a Stampin' Workshop for a friend and her co-workers on February 1st!! I am so excited, because I get to introduce people to this great craft! Let's face it...with electronic communication like email, Twitter, Facebook and blogs (like this one!), the personal hand written note is nearly extinct! I love making someone a card, then writing a note...sloppy penmanship and all. Now I get to encourage others to do the same!!

So. let me show you what we're gonna make...

This first card uses Stampin' Up's In-Colors: Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry, and Melon Mambo, including the designer series paper Razzleberry Lemonade. It features the Mini Occasions stamp set I {heart} Hearts, plus Teeny Tiny wishes. This will be a fun card to make with new stampers!

I admit, it is a toss-up for the second card. Here are 2 samples...I am letting the hostess pick...

The first was for a splitcoaststampers "Clean and Simple" challenge. I wanted something for a man. I used black craft ink, versamark and red classic ink, and clear embossing powder. The images are from Baroque Motifs...a must-have set in my book! I stamped on sahara sand card stock, and added the new black satin ribbon at the fold.

This next card has just basic black and very vanilla card stock. I stamped the flower from "Three Little Wishes" in Stazon Black, but decided not to color it in. The sentiment is stamped in real red. Add dry embossing with my Big Shot Texturz Plates, oval punch, scallop oval punch, ticket corner punch and satin ribbon, and you have a simple, but classic looking Valentine. This stamp set is in the regular Idea Book & Catalog (IBC), but from Jan-March, it is available for free as a Sale-a-Bration item with a $50 order! How cool is that??

Finally,I wanted to make a non-card item. Well, using my Big Shot, along with the Bigz XL Fancy Favor die, and I have this CUTE bag! I added the strap, using my new scallop trim border punch (another FREE Sale-a-bration item, with a $50 order.) The paper is Sending Love designer series paper...LOVE the patterns! I added a cute sentiment from All Holidays, stamped in chocolate chip. It's hard to se, but the strap is attached by ADORABLE pretty in pink corduroy button brads! I have these corduroy embellishments in about 6 colors! Circle and scallop circle punches come in handy for cute little projects like this too!!

So...if any of this stuff looks like fun (of course it does!) but you are not gonna be at the Girls' Night Out, you can contact me, or even order online by clicking HERE

Happy Stamping!!
