Fab Friday 07 + Make It Monday + Retro Sketches

Hey there! I am still trying to resolve my printer issues, but I was able to create three cards last night while I listened to Christmas music. Yay! 

First up is a card for the Fab Friday Stamping Challenge blog. I pulled out Papertrey Ink's Super Stripes & Party Poppers stamp sets, along with Mama Elephant's Midnight Letters stamp set. I created the plaid pattern on the bottom of the card with three different super stripes in Sweet Blush, Enchanted Evening, and Aqua Mist (all PTI). I added glitter to the party poppers using my Spica glitter pen:



Next I have a card for this week's Retro Sketches challenge


I just love the set by Mama Elephant, called On Target. Super trendy and easy to work with. The large bullseye image was heat embossed using Stampendous white embossing powder. The arrows are stamped with PTI's Pure Poppy and Aqua Mist ink.


My last card is for Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday challenge to use glitter as a detail on a card. I pulled out Party Poppers again for a fun birthday card. I used my Spica glitter pen to add glitter to the circles on the popper in the corner:


I will be back in a few hours with this week's Great Impressions project. Thanks for stopping by!

Fab Friday | Challenge #2

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. We were busy Friday and Saturday, but stayed in Sunday so Jack could recover from a 24 hour flu. Our schedule is packed this week with soccer, a music performance, cub scouts, and (hopefully) a date this weekend. Fall is definitely our busiest season!

This week's Fab Friday challenge is a color challenge: So Saffron, Sahara Sand, and Basic Gray. I LOVE this combination... yellow and gray are so soft and pretty together. I used Stampin' Up's Summer Silhouettes stamp set & Papertrey Ink's Quatrefoil cover plate: 

(Supplies - Stamps: (Stampin' Up!) Summer Silhouettes. Papertrey Ink: Bitty Background Blocks, Floral Foliage. Ink: (Stampin' Up!) Basic Gray, Sahara Sand, So Saffron. (PTI) Smokey Shadow. Cardstock: (Papertrey Ink) Harvest Gold, white. (Stampin' Up!) Basic Gray. Dies: (PTI) Quatrefoil cover plate, pinking edger die. Other: Buttons.)

The quatrefoil image from Summer Silhouettes matches perfectly with PTI's quatrefoil cover plate. I couldn't find my stamp-a-ma-jig for the quatrefoil stamp, so I eyeballed it using an acrylic block with a grid. After stamping the entire background with the quatrefoil stamp, I stamped the leaves & flowers. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Fab Friday | Challenge #01

Hey there! I am starting off the three day weekend with a card for a brand new challenge blog I discovered yesterday: Fab Friday! This week's challenge is a sketch challenge:


I paired the flower image from Stampin' Up's Perfectly Preserved with three new In-Colors: Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple, and Gumball Green. After I created the flower panel, I used PTI's Cane Impression plate before adding stickles to the center of each flower. The sentiment is from Hero Arts.


Well, that's it from me today. I need to get ready for tonight... Mark and I have a babysitter & we are going on a date! A nice Italian restaurant and a long island iced tea are calling my name. Have a great weekend!
