Daisy Get Well Wishes

 

 Happy Thursday Peeps

Today I am sharing a card made using the color challenge this week at

The Paper Players.

Pretty Spring colors for sure!

I pulled out my Daisy Delight set and matching punch

I stamped a few in both Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral

Punched them out with the  coordinating punch.

I layered them up and added the centers with a dimensional.

 

The base is thick whisper white and then I used Balmy Blue and embossed with

the Country Floral EF.

I samped the sentiment from the Dandelion Wishes set onto a 

square of Whisper White with Memento Black ink. 

I added the white square to my base with dimensionals.

 

I added the Daisies with dimensionals and finished

 with a wrap of white twine with a bow and a few sequins.

Thanks  for stopping by.

FAB Well Wishes

 

Happy Saturday Peeps!!!

My card today uses the sketch over at Fab Friday.

I love the flowers in the Tea Together stamp set with it's matching framelits.

I stamped a few flowers on some scrap thick whisper white card stock and got busy coloring.

I used my water brush and Real Red and Pear Pizzazz ink.

I cut them out and then went about making the rest of the card.

 

I love all the DSP in the Wood Grains pack 

and they give my card, paired with the roses, a rustic chic feel that I was going for.

The sentiment is from the Dandelion Wishes stamp set.

The base of the card is Crumb Cake and the next layer is Early Espresso.

 

I finished with a few basic rhinestones.

Thanks for coming by!

Happy Friday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the

I created a mask using the rectangle stitched dies and plain copy paper.

 I then sponged Blushing Bride and Lovely Lipstick in the opening. 

I stamped the image and sentiment with Black Memento ink.

I used the Dandelion Wishes stamp set.

I matted the image piece using Lovely Lipstick card stock.

The base of my card is Grapefruit Grove.

I added one small rhinestone to the flower center.

 

Thanks for coming by today!

Happy Thursday Peeps!!

On Tuesday I spent most of the day at my craft table. I had a couple of upcoming challenge cards to finish and then I finished ups some other cards that I had started and not finished I had a few stamped images and partial made elements that was tossed aside for one reason or another. So I pulled some of them out and completed a few cards.

This is one. I had the image stamped onto some very vanilla  card stock but nothing else. I don't even know when I stamped this or why I tossed it aside.

The flowers are fom the Stampin Up Serene Silhouettes stamp set. I am such a fan of Cajun Craze, so pretty and perfect for a Fall card.

The DSP is from the Comfort Cafe paper pack.

I added some scrunchy very vanilla seam binding ribbon and also made a scrunchy bow and added a Bronze Button.

The sentiment is from the Stampin Up Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and punched out with the word window punch. I finished it up with a few gold sticky pearls, non SU.

Thanks for stopping by and 

HAPPY STAMPING

Dynamic Duos.......Get Well Wishes

Happy Tuesday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the color challenge this week on the Dynamic Duos Blog.

I am still working on a card order so I used this challenge to make another get well card.

I have to say I love how this card turned out, I guess I shouldn't say that and I don't often but I do love this one even tho the stamp set and the DSP on it is retired.

The DSP is from last years, I think, fall Stampin Up pack called "Spice Cake" and the stamp is from the "Simply Soft" stamp set, it was a hostess set, I believe.

The DSP was perfect for this challenge, it has soft suede and pool party colors in it.

The base of the card is soft suede, I followed that with some pool party and then the DSP. I then added some more soft suede that I embossed with the square lattice EF. I tucked three flags under the edge of the embossed soft suede piece. 

The flower is stamped with black stazon and watercolored with my aqua painter and ink pads.

I then added a scrunchy pool part bow made with some seam binding ribbon and added a vintage button.

The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. 

Thanks for stopping by today and 

HAPPY STAMPING!!

Happy Sunday peeps!!

 Time for a new Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge. 

Love this sweet sketch Karen has for us this week:

I decide to pull out my Stampin Up "Summer Silhouettes" stamp set to make this cheery card.

I had a request for some get well cards and it seems appropriate since I have been fighting a nasty cold all week.

I used whisper white for my main image panel and stamped the leaves and stems with lucky limeade ink and made the flowers with rich razzleberry, pool party and daffodil delight.

I used one of the Finishing Touches edgelit dies across the bottom.

The base of the card is Rich Razzleberry and the DSP on here is from the International Bazaar paper pack.

I matted each piece of the DSP with white card stock. The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set.

I added some white satin ribbon across the bottom because you know I HAD to have a bow on here and then a few basic pearls to finish it up.

Be sure and check out what the rest of the team has made with this sweet sketch:

Saying Goodbye.......

Happy Thursday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card I CASED from ME!!!

One of my favorite in colors is going away! I am sad to say Goodbye to Concord Crush!!

Can we have a show of hands of people who loves this color as much as me!

I did buy an extra pack so it may make a reappearance sometime, but it will be official retired, sun bathing on a tropical beach somewhere with a Pina Colada by it's side, on June 1st.

The new in colors are gorgeous and I am sure I will settle down about this one retiring when I play with some of the new colors soon!

But for now I am weepy, seepy, and broken hearted!!! LOL!!

I love the way Concord stands with Wisteria Wonder! They are meant to be together dontcha think?

Also so sad to have this pretty hostess set "Simply Soft" going away too. I love the flowers in this set, you all know I am such a flower card maker!!

I need new flower stamps. Can Not Wait til June 1st to order some!! :)

I used the wonderful Doily die on my card, I know alot of people complain about this die and say they have trouble with it, but I have to say I adore it! It does take a little extra work, using a shim or two and manually poking out some of the pieces but to me it is well worth it!! I swear I even hear it whisper "Thank You" when I pulled it out to use on this card yesterday. Just look at it standing tall and proud decked out in the beautiful Concord Crush!

The DSP I used is from the "Berry Blossom" paper pack. Oh, and how pretty is the Concord Crush ribbon? 

Did I mention I will be missing this color? :)

So a sad farewell to Concord Crush, going, going, but NOT gone!!! :)

Stay tuned tomorrow for another farewell!

Thanks for stopping by and 

HAPPY STAMPING!!

Good Thursday Morning Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a card made with this week's sketch challenge on Splitcoaststampers.

This is a great sketch and allows you to use a nice big image, I love it and will be using it again I am sure!

I used a set I have had for awhile and had never inked up. This set is called "Peace Within" from Stampin' Up. I stamped with black stazon onto some very vanilla card stock. I used my aqua painter and ink pads to color in the image. I used crumb cake, soft suede, cajun craze, old olive, pretty in pink, melon mambo, daffodil delight, rose red, and some pumpkin pie. I matted this image with some baja breeze card stock. I used some DS paper from the now retired "vintage springtime" paper pack. I stamped the part of the image that had the pillow in it onto some of the DSP. I cut it out and added it to the image.

The sentiment  comes from the "Teeny Tiny Wishes" stamp set and I stamped it with black stazon using my stamp-a-ma-jig to line it up. I added some piercing all around the top of the image using my piercing tool and mat pack. I used a bit of crochet trim to wrap around and tie a bow. This is a CAS design not as many layers as I usually do but I still like the design. Sometimes I think you need to keep it simple to let the image shine and this is such a cute, peaceful image I wanted it to shine. I think I would like to curl up with that sweet little kitty in that chair and read a good book or just take a little nap.

Well, that is all from me today, thanks so much for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

SC320....Perk Up!!!

Happy Thursday Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a card I made with the sketch challenge on Splitcoaststampers! This was a fun sketch to work with, I pulled out another set I have had since the summer and have never used!

This set called Morning Cup, really called to me early on and then after getting it, it just laid around never calling to me again, well until yesterday anyway!! I pulled it out along with some new DSP I just got called Nursery Suite. I pulled my color from the paper for coloring the image. I stamped the stack of cups twice and the little tea pot onto some water color paper with black stazon. I used my aqua painter to color this with, I used regal rose, pear pizzazz, so saffron and baja breeze ink. I added some grounding in with my black marker and added some shading around the cups and teapot with some crumb cake ink.

I stamped the sentiment with black stazon onto some scrap water color paper and punched it out with my small oval punch and added to the card with a dimensional. I kept the embellishments to a minimum on this and just added a pretty regal rose ribbon and bow.

Well, that is all from me today, thanks for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!!

Sick Monsters!

TGIF Peeps!!!

As promised here is another Make a Monster Card. These little monsters are so fun, the parts are all inter changeable, so you can make your monster however you like! I stamped these all and colored them with my Copic Markers and Cut them out. I lined them all up onto a piece of white embossed card stock. I used the square lattice embossing folder.

I created my grass with a bit of garden green card stock and my paper snips. Just cutting small slits all along the edge. I matted this with a piece of Poppy Parade card stock and tied a bit of black taffeta around the bottom. I mounted this on an angle to my card base which is made from a piece of Crumb Cake card stock. The sentiment is from the Word Play set. I stamped with Poppy Parade ink onto white card stock and punched out with my key tag punch. I matted with more poppy parade and then used the other part of the stamp to add the bottom sentiment.

Well, that is all from me today, thanks for coming by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

Good Thursday Morning Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card I made with the sketch Challenge on Splitcoaststampers.

This was a fun sketch to work with. I used the Sweet Summer set that you can get free during the SAB promotion going on right now. I stamped the flower heads on some watercolor paper and colored them in with some regal rose ink using my aqua painter. I cut them out and then stamped the stem/leaves image onto another piece of watercolor paper. I colored them in with old olive ink and my aqua painter. I then used some dimensionals and added the flower heads onto the stems.




I stamped the little butterfly and colored it in with a bot of bashful blue and then cut it out and added it with a dimensional too. The Designer Series Paper I used comes from the retired Georgia Peach paper pack I used some Regal Rose ribbon and tied a pretty little bow.

The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set and is stamped with black stazon onto a scrap piece of watercolor paper. I used my word window punch to punch it out and I added it to the ribbon with some sticky tape. This is to mimic the square piece on the sketch, a bit of a stretch, I think, but hey it is an element there, so it works!



Well, that is all from me, tomorrow and Saturday I will be showing you some more of my "Monster Cards", so stay tuned for them! Thanks for stopping by today and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

FTL103.....Get Well Soon

Good Tuesday Morning Peeps!! Finally we are having some cooler temps her in southwest Missouri, much needed!

Today's card share is made with the Fall to Layout #103 on the Clean & Simple Blog.

I started my card with a base of rich Razzleberry. I stamped the image from the Thoughts & Prayers stamp set ont a piece of Crumb Cake with rich razzlebery and old olive ink. The sentiment from the same set is stamped with rich razzlebery ink as well. I really like the color combo and the look of the razzleberry on the crumb cake. I matted the main image with rich razzleberry and crumb cake. I added an old olive bow and ribbon and a small butterfly cut from the Beautiful Wings Embosslit. I then added some small silver pearls to the flower centers and the butterfly. I am really enjoying the clean and simple cards recently.

Curtain Call FTL.....Get Well Wishes

Good Monday Morning Peeps!!

Today's card share is made with two separate challenges. First up is Stacey's Curtain Call Color Challenge Act 41 and also the layout comes from the Clean & Simple Blog, Fall to Layout 101.

The color challenge is one I really enjoy participating in and the Clean & Simple FTL is a fairly new, to me, sketch challenge that I am loving!! The color challenge this week are Night of Navy, Marina Mist, Crumb Cake and Whisper White. What could be fresher that those colors! I used the stamp set "Every Moment" for the pretty little daisy and butterfly. I stamped the flower and butterfly with black stazon onto crumb cake card stock. I then colored the daisy in with some whisper white craft ink and my aqua painter. The flower center is colored in with daffodil delight. I used a bit of wild wasabi for the stem. The butterfly is colored with marina mist, crumb cake and daffodil delight.

The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes and is stamped onto a bit of Marina Mist card stock with black stazon. I hand cut the end of the sentiment panel. The image panel and sentiment panel are both up on dimensionals. I added the night of navy ribbon with a bit of sticky tape, scrunching up as I laid it across the tape using my piercing tool. I pierced along the top and bottom edge of the BG panel. The white is embossed with the square lattice EF. I added some silver pearls for accents.

Well, that is it for me today, Thanks for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING PEEPS!!! It's my favorite time of the week, time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Sample

Here is the fabulous sketch Karen has for us this week:



I am in love with this new set, "Every Moments" love to watercolor nd this set is perfect for that. I used riding hood red for the flower, it looks alot lighter than the actual card stock color tho, I was planning on using that color on my card elswhere, but it just didn't work out. I used some gingham paper, retired from Sweet Slumber pack, in sahara sand and basic black. The sentiment comes from the "Teeny Tiny Wishes" stamp set. I added basic black satin ribbon and some pretty black pearls.

I hope you can find some time to play along with us this week, I would love to see what you come up with, create a card or scrapbook page with this sketch and then go to Karen's blog and link up your project for all of us to see.

MTSC Get Well Wishes

Good Tuesday Morning Peeps and welcome to week 2 of my Mercy's Guest Muse gig! I am so loving this! Mercy is a super sweet girl and all her Muses are awesome.

So onto this weeks sketch:




Last week I told you that I was determined to use up some of my huge stash of retired SU paper. This card is made with some more of it. The base is pacific point card stock and the DS paper is from the "Good Morning Sunshine" pack, both retired. I still love these colors, don't you? I also used some summer sun card stock and chocolate chip card stock.

What is new? Well, the bird and branch is punched from the new "Extra Large Two-Step Bird" Punch! It is great!!! Love that bird and the fact you can punch his wing from another color and add it with a dimensional! Toooo cute!!! The sentiment comes from the "Teeny Tiny Wishes" set and is stamped with black stazon onto the DS paper and then I used my word window punch to punch it out. I needed it to be a little smaller so I put the punched out piece back into the punch opening at one end and punched again! I finished my card off with some chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon and three small white brads.

Well, that is all for me today, be sure and check out the rest of the Muses' listed below and see what eye candy they have created for your viewing pleasure.

Good Monday Morning Peeps!

Today's card is made with the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge on Karen Giron's blog the sweetest thing.

Of all the textured card stock we had in the last cattie, this one, To the Nines, was my least favorite, and it is the only one that is in the new cattie, go figure! I loved the textured speciality DS paper we had last cattie, I was hoping for more this time.

I figured I should try to use it again, it does make some nice manly type cards. This one is made with Shara sand and chocolate chip card stock. I used the stamp set, Thoughts and Prayers and inked up the tree with my always artichoke ink pad and then went over the trunk and branches of the tree with my chocolate chip marker. I stamped it onto some Shara sand and cut it out with my nesties and cuttlebug. The scallop is also made with the nesties.

The sentiment comes from the same set and I stamped it with chocolate chip ink onto Shara sand and layered it with chocolate chip. I used the curly label punch to make the ends of my flag on both pieces of card stock.

I added some chocolate chip twill ribbon between the two pieces of the DS paper. Simple little get well card, can you believe I didn't add any brads? LOL!

Well, that is all for today, Thanks so much for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

Good Saturday Morning Peeps! I actually started this post on Thursday and never finished it. It is now Saturday and I feel some better. It started on Wednesday and was full blown by Thursday and now I think it might be winding down a bit. Nasty COLDS!

This card was not made with any sketch again. I needed a get well card, my brother and sister are both in the hospital, I thought this one would be sorta masculine for my brother.

The card base is Kraft cardstock followed by some whisper white and chocolate chip and then some kraft DS paper. I used the stamp set Thoughts and Prayers and kept it all very clean and simple.

I used some chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon and 4 chocolate chip brads for my accessories.

I have barely used my new scalloped oval punch since getting it but I really do like it!

I am keeping the chit-chat to a minimum today, if you have any questions be sure and shoot me an e-mail anytime!

Well, that is all for today, Thanks so much for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!

Sketch and a Winner

Good Monday Morning Peeps! Hope you al had a good weekend!

Today's card was made with the sketch on Jen del Muro's blog I {heart} to stamp. I just love her sketch challenges and I try to do them as often as I can.

This card was very much inspired by this beauty made my Mercy Kerin. I fell in love with it when I first saw it and had filed it away to use later.

I used the colors and the stamp set she had used and just changed it up a bit to fit the sketch.

The colors are basic black and basic gray. I used some patterned paper from the level 1 hostess pack in basic gray.


Now on to the fun stuff, the winner of my blog birthday candy! Thank you all who left such kind birthday wishes!
