Stampin' Addicts Retiring Mega Hop!

Hi!

It's that time again!!  Welcome to another Stampin' Addicts blog hop!  This hop is all about the stamp sets on the Last Chance Lists (ask your demo for more info), and will run Friday, June 11th, through Sunday, June 13th.

I am stop #27 on the hop!  You may have just come from Jason's Stampin' Pad.  Didn't you just love what he did with the One of a Kind stamp set?  So many different looks!  If this is your first stop, don't worry!  All of the blogs are linked in a big circle, so you can always find your way around.  If you get lost, you can see a complete list of the participating blogs here at Stampin' Addicts!

My projects feature the stamp set Very Thankful.  Have you checked out this set yet??  It comes with a great variety of images, each with a different way of saying "thank you", in different fonts.  I used it in this way in my projects; however, it's more than just for "thank you" cards!  You can easily ink up the images alone and use them for whatever purpose, or even just use the sentiments.  And if you purchase this set through your demonstrator, $2 of each sale goes to the Ronald McDonald House Charities!  How awesome is that!  :)

By the way, I'll just be posting the supply lists for these projects.  Be sure to come back on Monday after the hop to read more details!  Stick around, because I'm also giving away some scrumptious blog candy!

Here is my first project, a gift set using this cute little guy from the stamp set.  You could easily create a girl instead by extending the hair with the coordinating Stampin' Write marker after stamping!  This particular gift set would be perfect for a teacher, or anyone else who works with children.  The card to the right of the mini clipboard is a gift card holder.. who doesn't like gift cards?

Kraft Birthday

Good morning and happy Friday!

For today's card I decided to try out a look I had seen on a few cards and actually on a 8-1/2" x 11" scrapbook layout in a magazine.  I felt that this week's sketch challenge at Stampin' Addicts went perfectly with the look I was going for:

It also went with Stampin' Celebration's fun inspiration challenge!

Mmmm, doesn't that cherry pie just look delicious?  These colors really spoke to me!  I only wish that I had the Wild West Alphabet!  Now I'm itching for a cook-out! :)

Ok, now here's my card...

What do you think of the border punch background look?  I simply punched strips of Kraft cardstock with three different border punches, then adhered it onto my Kraft card base.  I added a strip of Crushed Curry for a pop of extra color.  Love how this turned out!

Don't forget that you can get a free pack of Designer Brads when you order select stamp sets.. the Circle Circus set I used here is one of them!  The Filigree Designer Brads are one of the four free choices as well.

If you're finding yourself with some crafty time this weekend, check out both of the challenges!

Have a wonderful day!

Watercolored Thanks

Hello and happy Saturday!

It is a gorgeous day and I am about to head out in a few minutes, but before I do - I have a card to show you!  I created it using this week's sketch over at Stampin' Addicts.  This week's Pals Paper Arts challenge was to make a flower-themed card, which was perfect for how I am feeling today!  For the colors, I was inspired by those on the front of Stampin' Up!'s beautiful 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog.

Don't recognize that set, eh?  You are getting a sneak peek at the Summer Mini catalog that will be released on May 1st!  The set is called Watercolor Trio and is just gorgeous!  I stamped one of the images several times with Crushed Curry and Soft Suede, and the butterfly with Bermuda Bay.  I drew in a little body for the butterfly with the Soft Suede marker.

I just LOVE having the option to buy 8-1/2 x 11" textured cardstock!  It's only available in the In Color assorted pack right now, but I am crossing my fingers that it is available in other colors later!  I love being able to create a standard sized textured card base without having to cut down a big 12 x 12" sheet.

I am so excited, because I finally ordered my Fancy Flower XL punch!  (Don't forget to order yours from your demonstrator if you haven't already.. it's in the Occasions Mini, which will end April 30th!)  I curled the edges a little using my bone folder.  As you can see, I added a little "texture" to my focal piece and sentiment using the Soft Suede marker and the Color Spritzer.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a fabulous day!

Watercolored Thanks card supplies:
Stamps:  Watercolor Trio (available May 1st)
Ink:  Crushed Curry and Soft Suede Classic ink
Paper:  Bermuda Bay textured cardstock, and Soft Suede, Crushed Curry and Very Vanilla cardstock
Accessories/Tools:  Color Spritzer, Soft Suede Stampin' Write marker, 1-3/8" Circle punch, Fancy Flower XL punch, Very Vanilla 5/8" satin ribbon

Embossed Thank You card

Hello!

Here is another simple card.. the layout is actually similar to that of the card I posted yesterday!  I used this past week's sketch challenge over at Stampin' Addicts.

The embossed polka dots from the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions folder gives the card such an elegant look.  And I just love the peacock image from the Very Thankful stamp set!  Did you know that this set of 4 is one of the Idea Book & Catalog selections for Sale-a-bration?  That's right!  You can earn this set for free, and Stampin' Up! will still donate $2 for each set to Ronald McDonald House Charities!  How awesome is that!  :)

I toned the elegance down a bit with Linen Thread tied around the focal panel.  I created the multi-colored image by first inking up the stamp in Tempting Turquoise, then used a Blender Pen to remove the ink from the flower vine flourish and the sentiment.  I then colored those parts with the Stampin' Write markers before stamping.  Such an easy and pretty card!

Don't forget that there is less than a week left of Sale-a-bration!

Embossed Thank You card supplies:
Stamps:  Very Thankful
Ink:  Tempting Turquoise Classic Stampin' Pad
Paper:  Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip and Kraft cardstock, Pink Flamingo Designer Series Paper

Caught!

Hello!

This weekend I had been working on Brandi's Stampin' Addicts scrapbook challenge.  She worked up a lovely sketch for the challenge, and I just love working with sketches.  Sketches are especially awesome when you're trying to get back into scrapping, like me!  They make it a lot less overwhelming, at least for me it does.  Anyway, here's my page..

I love, love, love that sheet of Designer Series Paper with the butterflies from the Sweet Pea paper pad (psst.. there are actually two different colors of this design!).  I love girly things, and since I don't have a daughter yet.. well, I have a female furbaby, so why not use it for her pages?  I plan on buying at least a couple more Sweet Pea paper pads before the Occasions Mini ends!

I created the butterfly in the center using the "kissing" technique again, this time it's a little different because it's more like a faux marble effect.  I used the Butterfly Accent and Fine Flourish stamps again, inking them in So Saffron and Rose Red.  They were then "kissed", rotating one stamp slightly (I suppose about 45 degrees?).  The effect is so beautiful and so different.  On the journaling panel, I inked the dandelion stamp using the Rose Red and Old Olive markers.  The journaling reads:  "Fluffy always looks so sweet sleeping like this with her paws in the air.  I tried to secretly snap some photos and was CAUGHT!"  You have to know that she's such a character.  She sighs very often to let you know her discontent (like if you stop rubbing her belly), and this moment was no different.  It was like she was saying "I know I look so cute that you wanna take photos, Mom, but really??  I'm sleeping!!"  :)

Oh and those clouds?  Aren't they cute?  I cut them out of another one of the sheets in the Sweet Pea paper pad.  I also pleated the Old Olive satin ribbon under the title, which was cut using the Simple Letters Bigz dies.  I simply adore those dies, especially since you can cut both the chipboard and the cardstock and adhere them together.. no sanding at all!

Thanks for stopping by!

"Caught" 12x12 scrapbook page supplies:
Stamps:  A Happy Heart, Butterfly Accent, Fine Flourish
Ink:  So Saffron, Rose Red

Spring Friendship

Hi!  I thought I'd do some Stampin' Addicts challenges from the past week.  Well, I combined them all into this card...

The challenges were the accessories challenge, sketch challenge, and color challenge.  Whew!  :)

First I watercolored the bird on the branch on our lovely Watercolor Paper.  I love using my Aqua Painter on Watercolor Paper, as it's sooo forgiving and it really gives you a chance to blend your colors.  And yes, I do love my new Very Vintage jumbo wheel, so I used it again!  I think it goes wonderfully with this stamp set... which by the way can be earned FREE as part of Sale-a-bration!

I created the faux stitching with my White Gel Pen, and topped it all off with a butterfly from the Beautiful Wings Embosslits die.  Did you notice the new Old Olive satin ribbon?  I just love that SU! came out with some new colors in this ribbon.  It's so thick, yet so easy to tie!

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great rest of the night/early morning.

Spring Friendship Supplies:
Stamps:  Spring Song
Ink:  Chocolate Chip, Taken with Teal, Dusty Durango, and Old Olive Classic Stampin' Pads, Jet Black StazOn, VersaMark ink
Paper:  Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Taken with Teal, and Dusty Durango cardstock, Watercolor Paper

Fresh Floral Birthday

Happy Friday!

My friend Marie has another inspiration challenge (click here to visit her blog and play along), and this one is also right up my alley.  I love fresh and airy rooms, and this one is no exception.  She found this picture on the Traditional Home website:

Gorgeous!  The color scheme is exactly how I would want my kitchen/breakfast nook to look (hehe, "nook to look").  Anyway, I was inspired by the colors and clean, airy feel.  When I think of these words, the stamp set Fifth Avenue Floral immediately comes to mind.  Here's my card, which also uses Stampin' Addicts Sketch Challenge #40 (I turned it sideways):

I first stamped the rose on Whisper White, then masked it with some scratch Grid Paper (stamp the rose again on scratch paper, trimming it and using temporary adhesive to attach it over your image on the cardstock).  I then stamped the other flowers to either side.  I keep this mask in my stamp set's box for easy access.  Watercoloring with the ink pads and Blender Pens really brings out the beauty of the flowers!  I also simply adore these punches (if you haven't noticed!) - it's so easy to create any size you want with the border and corner punches.

Don't you just love how Sahara Sand ink looks with the Kraft?  Almost a perfect match!  And you can never have too many birthday cards, right?

Fresh Floral Birthday card:  Fifth Avenue Floral and Well Scripted stamp sets; Jet Black StazOn ink; Bashful Blue, Sahara Sand, Certainly Celery, and Crushed Curry Classic Stampin' Pads; Kraft, Basic Black, Whisper White, and Certainly Celery cardstock; Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper; Filigree Designer Brads; Vintage Brads; Whisper White satin ribbon; Scallop Trim Border and Corner punches

Doing the Valentine Mambo.. :)

Hello again!

I have another project to show!  This one is a card.  I used this week's Stampin' Addicts sketch challenge...

The colors just POP on this card!  I love using bright colors with black and white, and I don't really do it often enough.  I also felt like I wasn't giving my new Pinking Hearts punch much love since getting it, so I broke that out as well.  I adore all of these new punches!

It shouldn't come as a surprise to you that I used this stamp set.  :)  I first swiped across the Basic Black cardstock with the Embossing Buddy, then stamped the dotted outline heart with VersaMark, embossing with white powder.  Then I just adhered the second heart (stamped in Melon Mambo) inside the outline.  Too cute!

Happy Friday!  It's snowing steadily here, and is not supposed to let up until tomorrow.  Hope you are staying safe in this weather, wherever you may be!

Valentine Mambo card:  I {Heart} Hearts and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets; Melon Mambo Classic Stampin' Pad; VersaMark ink; Basic Black, Whisper White and Melon Mambo cardstock; Welcome Neighbor Designer Series Paper pad; Pinking Hearts Border punch; Modern Label punch; Word Window punch; Whisper White satin ribbon; White Embossing Powder; Half-back Pearls from the Pretties Kit; Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions folder

Follow your heart...

Hi!  I hope you are having a great weekend!

For this card, I was inspired by my friend Sharon's color challenge this week at Stampin' Addicts, as well as this week's Saturday Sketch Challenge at Stamping 411...

The I {Heart} Hearts stamp set is wonderful for more than just Valentine's Day, and more than just for saying "I love you".  Plus, when you purchase this set from your demonstrator through February 28, 2010, Stampin' Up! will donate $2 to the American Red Cross' Haiti Relief and Development Fund.  It's one of my favorite sets, so if you don't have it.. what are you waiting for??  :)

I love using all of these hearts in the set together.. it creates such a whimsical yet connected look.  The Kraft heart was simply punched out using the Full Heart punch, then stamped with VersaMark using the flower vine from the Vintage Vogue set.  I created the panel on the left by punching the Scallop Trim border, then scoring the edge and folding it over, tucking the Designer Series Paper inside.  This has to be my new favorite border punch!

Follow Your Heart card:  I {Heart} Hearts, Vintage Vogue and Whimsical Words (SAB freebie) stamp sets; Melon Mambo, Old Olive and Crushed Curry Classic Stampin' Pads; VersaMark ink; Kraft, Melon Mambo, Whisper White, and Crushed Curry cardstock; Welcome Neighbor Designer Series Paper pad (SAB freebie); Whisper White taffeta ribbon; Full Heart punch; Scallop Trim Border punch (SAB freebie); Filigree Designer Brads

Vintage Retro Friends card

Hello!  I took some time to make a quick card today, using a this week's sketch challenge over at Stampin' Addicts.  I used a new stamp set from the Occasions Mini catalog, Vintage Vogue..

I LOVE it!!  And check out that border around the stamped image.. beautiful, no?  That's made using the new Scallop Trim Corner and Border punches!  The "retro-y" colors of the whole card just make me happy.  All of that paper is part of the Welcome Neighbor Designer Series Paper Pad, which you can earn free as part of Sale-a-bration (along with that gorgeous border punch).  I'm such a paper addict, and while I usually just hoard it all.. I'm making myself use it.  Makes the projects prettier, and plus, then I'll need to buy more!  :)

Remember, if you are in need of an Occasions Mini catalog or Sale-a-bration brochure, please let me know and I'll get one out to you.

Have a great night!

Vintage Retro Friends:  Vintage Vogue stamp set; Bermuda Bay Classic Stampin' Pad; Kraft, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Bermuda Bay, Pretty in Pink, and Whisper White cardstock; Welcome Neighbor Designer Series Paper Pad; Sweet Pea Stitched Felt, Scallop Trim Corner and Border punches, Whisper White organza ribbon

PPA18 - Love, Peace & Joy

Hello!  Hope you had a great Thanksgiving and weekend!

Today's card combines Pals Paper Arts Challenge #18 and an old Stampin' Addicts Sketch Challenge (#32).  The PPA challenge was to create a clean/simple project.

All of the images are from the Punch Pals stamp set, and the sentiment is a rub-on from the Chit Chat pack, which is jam-packed full of different sentiments!  Plus, there are two sheets - one in Whisper White, and one in Chocolate Chip.  A fabulous deal for sure!  The images were stamped with Jet Black StazOn on 1-1/4" squares of Very Vanilla cardstock, then colored with Stampin' Write markers to keep it simple.  (Stampin' Up! has a 1-1/4" square punch, but I don't have it..yet!)  I used our lovely Sleigh Bells cotton ribbon from the Holiday Mini catalog.. so nice and thick, and so easy to tie!

Don't forget!  There is only one day left in the Online Holiday Extravaganza sale, where you can get great products for up to 50% off!  Contact me today or shop anytime at my website.

Love, Peace & Joy card:  Punch Pals stamp set; Jet Black StazOn; Soft Suede textured cardstock; Old Olive and Very Vanilla cardstock; Soft Suede, Real Red, Old Olive, and Yo Yo Yellow Stampin' Write markers; Chit Chat rub-ons; Scallop Square punch; Sleigh Bells ribbon

Another Dasher card!

Hello!  Here is a card that I made with the same layout as yesterday's, but I feel it looks very different:

After stamping, I went back in with the Soft Suede Stampin' Write marker and gave Dasher some more dimension.  I'm not sure what's up with his head though.. it looks like the image got wet, but it doesn't look like that in real life!  The snowflakes in the background were embossed with VersaMark and clear powder as before.  I just love that sentiment image!  It's from the Holiday Best Level 1 Hostess Set, and all of those stamps look beautiful multi-colored with markers.  Instead of coloring a large part of the image with the Soft Suede marker, I simply inked up the stamp with the ink pad, then used a Blender Pen to remove the Soft Suede ink from the bird.  Then I colored in the bird with the Bordering Blue marker.

Snowy Dasher card:  Dasher, Season of Friendship, and Holiday Best stamp sets; Soft Suede Classic Stampin' Pad; VersaMark ink pad; Bordering Blue and Soft Suede Stampin' Write markers; The Write Stuff Specialty Designer Series Paper; Kraft, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, and Bordering Blue cardstock; Kraft 3/8" taffeta ribbon; clear embossing powder

Bright Tree Trimmings

Hello!  I've been in a Christmas card-making mood lately, and here is one I made using an old sketch challenge on Stampin' Addicts (#29):

This card uses some non-traditional colors, but I think they look great together!  The turquoise paper from the Pink Flamingo Designer Series Paper pack also works nicely on a Christmas card.  I embossed the snowflakes from the Season of Friendship stamp set on Kraft cardstock, using VersaMark and clear embossing powder.  The string stamp in the Tree Trimmings stamp set was not long enough for the first ornament, so I sketched one out with a pencil, then went over it with the Soft Suede marker.  You could stamp the string twice - stamping it once normally against the ornament, then again upside down to lengthen the string - but I like the look of drawing it in personally.

By the way - one of Stampin' Up!'s biggest sales has started.. the Online Holiday Extravaganza sale!  Check out the deals in my online store by going to my website and clicking "order now".  I've listed the deals also in this post.  Happy shopping!  :)

Bright Tree Trimmings card:  Tree Trimmings, Season of Friendship and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets; Rich Razzleberry, Tempting Turquoise and Soft Suede Classic Stampin' Pads; VersaMark ink pad; Soft Suede Stampin' Write Marker; Rich Razzleberry, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, and Kraft cardstock; Pink Flamingo Designer Series Paper; Modern Label punch; Word Window Punch; Very Vanilla 3/8" taffeta ribbon

SASC31 - Dasher Christmas

Hi there!

It's been a while since I've used the Scallop Circle Bigz die, and this sketch from Stampin' Addicts was perfect for it.

I used the flash on the camera so that you could see the pretty shimmer from the Champagne Mist shimmer paint.  Dasher was inked up first with Chocolate Chip, then Champagne Mist shimmer paint was sponged on before stamping.  The snow (kind of dirty looking now that I think about it :) ) was done by masking and sponging Sahara Sand ink and Champagne Mist shimmer paint.

Dasher Christmas card:  Dasher, Snow Swirled, and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets; Chocolate Chip and Sahara Sand Classic Stampin' Pads; Champagne Mist shimmer paint; Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla and Kraft cardstock; Scallop Circle Bigz die; Big Shot; Circle Scissors Plus; Scallop Oval punch; Large Oval punch; Chocolate Chip 3/8" taffeta ribbon; sponge daubers; Stampin' Sponges
