Fab Friday Sketch Challenge Meets 30 Day Gratitude Challenge: Day 4

 Good morning!  It’s the mid point of the week, and finally after having a 4-day weekend Aidan returns to school (must be nice) so we’re back to our regular routine, I’m such a creature of habit I don’t do well without the routine.  Of course I’m back with today’s 30-Day Gratitude card challenge card and I decided to combine it with the Fab Friday sketch challenge (when I’m making this many cards having a little starting inspiration really helps).  I decided to go with another fall themed card and showcase some of the beautiful items from the Into the Woods product suite.

I started with Soft Sued cardstock for the cardbase and then used a piece of Tangelo Twist as a mat for my Crumb Cake cardfront.  For the main floral image I just took my 2 ½” Circle Punch and punched out a piece of the Into the Woods Designer Series Paper (can’t beat the easy of that!)  The greeting is from the And Many More stamp set and was stamped in Soft Suede ink on Daffodil Delight cardstock before being cut out with the Big Shot and the Itty Bitty Banner Framelits (then I sponged lightly around the edges with Soft Suede ink) before attaching the greeting with dimensionals.

For the fun circle element around my punched piece I took one of my Circle Collection Framelits and used it as a stencil to hand draw dashed lines (used Mossy Meadow and Soft Suede for the inner and outer rings and then used the White Gel Pen and filled I the middle.  Before attaching my circle to the cardfront with dimensionals I added a piece of Natural 5/8” Chevron Ribbon behind it (showing the non-patterned side).  For some fun embellishments I added a few gold sequins from the Gold Sequin Trim (the Fine Tip Glue Pen works great for attaching these little elements).  The final touch was to add a little wooden element from the Into the Woods Embellishment set and I sponged it first with Rich Razzleberry Ink to color the wood before attaching it to the cardfront with a dimensional.

I love how I only stamped the greeting and was able to add lots of different embellishments to really help dress the card up and keep it’s simple nature at the same time.  If you’re enjoying this challenge I would love for you to join me and see what you can create this month by focusing on gratitude and sharing your thoughtful feelings.

30 Day Gratitude Challenge: Day 3

Good morning!  It’s only fitting that with the arrival of fall and the leaves changing that we use the beauty in nature as inspiration for crafting so I decided to use it for today’s 30-Day Gratitude card challenge.

I started with Early Espresso cardstock for the cardbase and then used Very Vanilla cardstock for the main background piece.  To create this I started by stamping the leaves using the Vintage Leaves stamp set using Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow, Cajun Craze, and Hello Honey ink.  After stamping I ran it through the Big Shot and embossed it with the Brickwall Embossing folder.  After embossing to really help the embossing pop I sponged all over the cardstock using Soft Suede ink.

The greeting is from the Six Sayings Hostess stamp set and was stamped with Cajun Craze ink on Very Vanilla cardstock and then matted with Early Espresso cardstock.  For a fun embellishment I stamped two more leaves on a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock, cut them out with the Big Shot and coordinating Leaves Framelits and then sponged them after crumbling them up.  I attached the leaves with dimensionals to the cardfront and then tied a knot using the Mossy Meadow 5/8” Stitched Cotton Ribbon and attached it with a glue dot.

We actually made this during Just Cards class last month and it was a lot of fun to create this fun background effect with some stamps, embossing, and sponging.  This card is so pretty and has lots of texture that really makes you want to reach out and touch it.

Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration Color Challenge SSINKCC26: Oh My Goodies

Good morning!  It's day 2 of the Gratitude challenge and I decided to combine this with the  SSINKspiration color sketch to create a fun card using another new stamp set and some designer series paper multi-purposed.  Anytime you can use a product that is marketed for a specific purpose and show other uses of it really helps extend it's value and functionality!

I started with Crumb Cake cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped on it with the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set using Crumb Cake and Old Olive ink.  Next I used two pieces of DSP from the Merry Moments Designer Series Paper stack (these patterns are great since you can use them for things other than Christmas) and matted them with a strip of Old Olive cardstock.

For the greeting, I used the Oh My Goodies stamp set (another new one in the studio) and stamped it once using Blackberry Bliss ink on Very Vanilla cardstock and then cut it out with the Big Shot and Deco Labels Framelits.  I stamped the greeting a second time, using Cherry Cobbler ink on Old Olive cardstock and then used Paper Snips to just cut out the portion of the greeting and used dimensionals to pop the "thanks" piece up.  The final touch was to add a piece of Blackberry Bliss 5/8" Stitched Cotton Ribbon.

I really like the images in this stamp set and can't wait to use it many more times in the future, and these colors really go will together, will have to remember them again for the future.  The other designers are sharing some great cards using this color combination for ideas and then come play along and share your creations so we all can enjoy!

30 Day Gratitude Challenge: Day 1

Happy November!  After a wonderful family weekend and a fun Halloween we're off the start the new month.  For the last couple of years I've used the month of November to focus on all the things that I'm thankful for and it's important that we let people know we're thankful for them and a hand written message is a wonderful and heartfelt way to do that.  So everyday this month I'll be sharing different cards and projects I've created to show my gratitude.  I decided to start the month off with a super simple and easy card that's perfect for everyday and could be made with any color combination.

I started with Bermuda Bay cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Whisper White cardstock.  I just got the Watercolor Wash background stamp last week (thanks to the stamp sale last month, yeah!!) so I decided to ink it up with some Smoky Slate ink for a fun background effect.  For the greeting, I used the Another Thank You stamp set and stamped the greeting in Bermuda Bay ink.  For a little bit of bling I added a string of rhinestones to help accent the greeting.

I love the simplicity of this card, and I'll admit it came together in less than 5 minutes (sometimes you need a card in a rush.

Quick and Easy Halloween Gift Packaging: Sweet Hauntings

Good morning!  With just a few more days before Halloween (so happy it’s on a Saturday) do you have all your projects complete?  If you’re still looking for a quick and easy gift look no further than the Tag a Bag Gift Boxes (you get 8 I a package and it includes the kraft boxes and acetate sleeves and they are food safe).  All I did was take a piece of the Happy Hauntings Designer Series Paper and scored it on the long sides using my Simply Scored and slid the DSP inside the acetate.  Then I tied a piece of Tangelo Twist 5/8” Stitched Cotton Ribbon around the box and tied a knot.  For the tag I used the Sweet Hauntings and stamped the Happy Halloween Tag on Very Vanilla Cardstock and cut it out with the Note Tag Punch (I also colored in some of the stripes using the Hello Honey Stampin’ Write Marker.  I stamped one of the potion bottle on Tangelo Twist cardstock using Basic Black ink and then cut it out with Paper Snips and attached it to the edge of the tag using dimensionals.  I used a little piece of Gold Baker’s Twine to attach the tag to the ribbon. 

The great thing about how this box is decorated is that you can decorate them ahead of time and then fill them closer to when you want to gift them using candies, cookies, chocolates, wine, etc.  This is a great hostess or teacher’s gift and can easily be modified for any occasion.

SSINKspiration Mystery Challenge #SSINKMC26: For All Things

Happy Monday! We had a wonderful weekend, Aidan had his 2nd Degree Black Belt Test on Saturday and despite being one of the hardest things he's ever did he worked hard and successfully completed the test, I'm such a proud mama.  Yesterday I spent most of the day stamping with some great ladies and was a great way to spend a Sunday.  Today it's back to school and work and getting ready for Halloween.  Today on the SSINKinkspration blog we have a fun mystery challenge.  This is a fun new monthly feature we have where you pick the amount of items from a given list in the creation of your card, lots of fun.

 

I started with Island Indigo cardstock for the cardbase and then took a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and embossed it with the Big Shot and Woodland Embossing Folder (after embossing I took my Early Espresso Marker to color in the lines on the trees and then sponged all over them with Soft Suede ink, really makes the embossing pop).  Next I took a piece of the new Kraft Corrugated cardstock and made a flag and matted it with Early Espresso Cardstock and then added a piece of Blackberry Bliss 5/8" Stitched Cotton Ribbon on top. 

 

The greeting is from the For All Things stamp set and as colored using Stampin' Write Markers.  I also used the watermark image to and stamped it in Crumb Cake ink (stamped off once first) for a fun background before punching it out with the Extra Large Oval Punch and matted it with a piece of Island Indigo cardstock that was punched out with the Decorative Label Punch.  I used dimensionals to attach the greeting to the cardfront.  For some fun texture I took a piece of the edge of the 1 1/4" Burlap Ribbon (you never know when you're going to use those little scraps) and tied it in a small knot.  I also used one of the wood acorns from the Into the Woods Wooden Embellishments and colored it using Blackberry Bliss and Soft Suede ink.

I'm so in love with all the different textures on this card, you don't need lots of something, a small element can really help pack a punch, it's so fun!

Sketch Frenzy Friday Sketch Challenge: Remembering Your Birthday

 
 
 
Good morning and Happy Friday!  I know I have had holidays on the brain lately which has been influencing my creative projects lately (and let’s be honest will continue to) but we all know that people have birthdays year round so I decided to take a break and work on a birthday card for this weeks Sketch Frenzy Friday Sketch Challenge so I’m ready to go.  Elizabeth gave us this fun sketch that’s a great way to either showcase a large stamped image or some fabulous designer series paper (you know I love my DSP).  I decided to go bright and cheery using the Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper Stack and all it’s wonderful colors. 

I started with Mint Macaron cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Basic Black cardstock that was embossed with the Big Shot and the Brickwall Embossing Folder (who says bricks can’t be non-standard colors?).  I added a large piece of the Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper and matted it with Pacific Point cardstock.  For a fun, shiny accent I used half of a silver foil doily (one of the small ones) at the bottom of the DSP piece.  For the greeting I used  the Remembering Your Birthday stamp set and I stamped it in Basic Black ink on Calypso Coral cardstock.  I cut tails on the ends of the greeting piece and then folded the end inside so it looks like a ruffled piece and dimensionals help make the greeting really pop up off the cardfront.

 

 

This birthday stamp set is really a must have and remember, today is the last day to save 15% off all stamp sets.  I was so happy to get some of the stamp sets that have been on my wish list for awhile (sets from the Annual Catalog and Holiday catalog are part of this sale, whoo hoo!)

SSINKspiration Stamp Set Focus: Sheltering Tree

Good morning!  Fall has definitely arrived but I was really hoping we would have some more comfortable weather before the cold of winter arrives (like we experienced this weekend).  Today over on the Stylin Stampin' INKspiration blog we're showcasing the Sheltering Tree stamp set and I decided to channel the beautiful fall weather for my card using this stamp set.  I love stamp sets that you get extra mileage from and this one really fits the bill since you can us it for all seasons, perfect.

I started with Soft Suede cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Hello Honey cardstock that I embossed with the Big Shot and Polka Dot embossing folder (I did lightly sponge all over the embossed piece to tone down the color and make the embossing pop.  Next I added a piece of designer series paper from the Into the Woods Designer Series Paper and matted it with Tangelo Twist cardstock.

For the stamped image I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock and punched the top using the Ornate Tag Topper Punch.  I used the Sheltering Tree stamp set to stamp the fall scene on the tag and then used some Mossy Meadow Stitched Cotton Ribbon for the tag and then used dimensionals to attach the tag to the cardfront.  The greeting is from the stamp stamp set and was stamped on Crumb Cake cardstock using Early Espresso ink.

This is such a great stamp set to have in your toolbox since you can use it for all occasions and right now you can save 15% on all stamp sets (including this one) if you purchase it by October 23.   I know I was able to get several stamp sets from my wish list during this sale, you should take advantage as well!

Sketch Frenzy Friday Sketch Challenge: Cozy Christmas

Hello Friday, so glad to see you again!  I’m looking forward to this weekend, I have race on Sunday and we’re off on a family “racecation” to Hershey (chocolate, amusement park, running, family, what’s not to love??)  Before all the fun begins I wanted to share my card for this weeks  Sketch Frenzy Friday sketch challenge.  Karen gave us an interesting sketch that was quite the challenge.  I decided to keep it nice and simple for a Christmas card (nice and mailable!!)

I started with Smoky Slate cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Whisper White cardstock for the cardfront.  I added a couple pieces of designer series paper from the Merry Moments Designer Series Paper Package running diagonally across the card.  I stamped the little tree from the Project Life Seasonal Snapshot 2015 set using Old Olive ink.  In the bottom of the card I used the Cozy Christmas stamp set and Stampin’ Write Markers to ink the stamp for the greeting.  For a little bling I added three silver sequins from the Silver Sequin Trim (I always seem to have a few of those suckers floating around my desk).

This sketch is a great way to use of scraps of paper if you have them floating around which is always a great thing!

SSINKspiration October Blog Hop: Halloween Hauntings!

Good morning!  For all you who follow my blog (and I love you) you know that I have a serious thing for all things Halloween right now (I promise once Halloween is over I will not show Halloween projects for awhile) so it’s only fitting that the theme for this months SSINKspiration blog hop is all about Halloween.  All the designers are excited to share some great projects to help get you in the spooky spirit and will make you want to run out and whip up these projects for your own friends and family.

As you hop along, please be sure to comment and show some love on every blog! We are always excited to hear from our followers! You should have just left stop number #1 on the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration Blog Hop - Kathy at Kathy'sStamping World. If so, you are in the right spot. If a link doesn't work or you get off track, you will find the full blog hop lineup below.

Today I have two projects that use several of the same items so you don’t have to spend a lot to have the perfect coordination.  First up is a card and I’ll be honest I had several pieces already stamped and cut out sitting on my desk and rather than throwing them away I decided to use them for this card with happy results. 

I started with Tip Top Toupe cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamped on it with the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set using Tip Top Toupe and Pumpkin Pie ink.  Next I took one of the striped decorative pieces from the Witching Décor Project Kit (I know it’s retired but you can cut the same shape out using the Lots of Tags Framelits and Big Shot).  Next I used some Fast Fuse Adhesive to add a strip of ruffled Basic black 3/8” Stitched Satin Ribbon.  The witches hat and pumpkin treat holder are both from the Howl-o-ween Treat Stamp set and were cut out with the coordinating Boo to You Framelits and were attached to the cardfront with dimensionals.  I also used the same framelit set and Silver Glimmer Paper to cut out the “Boo” greeting and used the Fine Tip Glue Pen to attach the words.  The final touch was to add some rhinestones to the witches hat (every good witch deserves a little bling!).

I was working on finishing the packaging for Aidan’s Halloween teacher gifts and some of them are receiving small jar candles so I decided these cute little craft bags would be perfect (we actually used to sell them several years ago and I stocked up (A LOT) when they were added to the clearance rack, but any small paper bag would be the perfect base).  All I did was cut a decorative piece using the same Lots of Tags Framelits and some Happy Hauntings Designer Series Paper (this piece is the same size as the one for the card).  I cut the inside out of one of the spider web doilies (love this tip so you can get double the use of these doilies) and then added a witches hat and “Boo” greeting just as above.  To close the bag I just folded the top over and then used a Silver Mini Metallic Clothespin and tied a bow using Basic Black Baker’s Twine as the final touch.  The cool thing about this back it it’s totally reusable, the recipient could add a different gift and pass on the fun.

The matching stamp sets and framelits really make it fun and easy to make the perfect embellishments for any project and love how it doesn’t take a lot of time or money to make something that the recipient will appreciate, AWESOME!!!

SSINKspiration Card Sketch Challenge SSINKCC26: Project Life Seasonal Snapshot 2015

Good morning and Happy Columbus Day!  I'm a little jealous of those who have off today (including Chris and Aidan), anytime you can get a long weekend it's always great.  I had a lot of fun with some extended stamping time this weekend which I haven't had for awhile and really missed.  Today I'm sharing another fun Halloween card I made using this months SSINKspiration blog.  We were given a fun and unique sketch this month that gave me lots to think about and work with, including a great way to show off lots of different designer series papers.

I started with Smoky Slate for the card base and then added this super fun pattern from the Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper pack.  I used another pattern from the pack and cut out the decorative piece using the Big Shot and Lots of Labels Framelits.   I used the outline of the same framelit and cut out a mat using the Basic Black Glimmer Paper (I love these glimmer papers).

I decided to us another piece of the designer series paper, used the Project Life Corner Rounder Punch to punch around all corners and then sponged all over using Basic Black and Basic Gray ink.  For the greeting I used the Project Life Seasonal Snapshot 2015 stamp set and stamped the words in Basic Black and Rich Razzleberry ink.  I used a couple of he Black rhinestones from the Witching Décor Hat Kit (left over from when I made my kit).  Before attaching the greeting piece to the cardfront (with dimensionals) I added a piece of the Spider Web Doily to the back.

I added a piece of Rich Razzleberry Cotton Ribbon that  ruffled up for texture and then stamped an apothecary bottle from the Sweet Haunting stamp set on Smoky Slate cardstock, cut it out with Paper Snips, and attached it with dimensionals.

I can't believe I'm having so much fun with all the great Halloween products in this years Holiday catalog, I can't stop creating (there will be even more fun to share later this week, hint hint).  Make sure to check out the other design team cards and the sketch challenge, we would love for you to come and play along and share what you created.

Sketch Frenzy Friday Sketch Challenge: All Boxed Up

Good morning!  It’s Friday and I’m so happy to be saying goodbye to this week, it was a rough one (we’ve all been there).  We have a light schedule this weekend which is great and card class on Sunday and stamping with friends is always lots of fun!  To get things started I have my card for this weeks Sketch Frenzy Friday sketch challenge.  I decided this weeks sketch and decided to change things up and use products from the Into the Woods Thanksgiving Suite in the Holiday catalog and use it for a non-fall themed card.   

I started with Soft Suede cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock that was embossed with the Big Shot and new Decorative Dots Embossing Folder.  Next I took a piece of Into the Woods Designer Series Paper and cut a circle using the Big Shot and Circle Collection Framelits.  I took a second pattern from the DSP package and matted it with Rich Razzleberry cardstock before attaching it to the cardfront. 

For the greeting I decided to change things up and use the All Box Up stamp set (these are some great sayings so don’t overlook it just because it sold next to one of our box dies!).  I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock and used the Elegant Tag Topper Punch to punch the top and then used Stampin’ Write Markers to color in the greeting on the stamp before stamping.  I used a piee of the Into the Woods 3/8” Cotton Ribbon to tie the knot before attaching the tag with dimensionals.  The final touch was to add one of the Into the Woods Elements (I used a sponge and some Mossy Meadow and Soft Suede ink to color the wooden leaf before attaching it with a glue dot).

There are lots of different patterns and textures with this card that really help attract the eye and makes it fun.  I also love that with all the great accessories we have that coordinate I was able to pull this card together in a flash (to be honest I was working on this card way too late for me when I’m usually asleep, we’ve all been there!)

SSINKspiration Hostess Stamp Set Focus: Six Sayings

Good morning!  I was completely wiped after this weekends race and am still recovering, I wasn’t even able to step foot in the studio (so sad).  By now you know how much I’m in love with this years Holiday catalog (it really is awesome) and one of the areas that I really love are the hostess sets that are available under the Holiday Catalog (they are perfect!!)  Today on the SSINKspiration blog we’re sharing some ideas using the hostess sets available (both in the Idea Book and Catalog as well as the Holiday Catalog).  It was an easy choice for me to showcase the Six Sayings stamp set from the Holiday Catalog.

I started with Basic Gray cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Very
Vanilla cardstock and I stamped the greeting from the Six Sayings hostess stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink (I used the stamp repeated all over the cardstock to create a patterned paper).  Next I took a sponge and lightly smudged it with Basic Black ink (I actually used my sponge I had used previously and didn’t add and new ink and had just the right amount). Next I added a piece of designer series paper from the Happy Hauntings Designer Series Paper Package and crumpled it up first for some added texture.  Next I used one of the decorative strips from the Treat Bag Thinlit set and the Big Shot to cut the strip of stars out of Basic Black cardstock and added a piece of Silver Glimmer Paper for a hint of sparkle.

I created the cute potion bottles using the Sweet Hauntings stamp set and stamped on Rich Razzleberry, Tangelo Twist, and Basic Gray cardstock before cutting them out with Paper Snips and attaching the outer two with dimensionals.  For a final touch, I had a remnant piece of the 1 ¼” Burlap Ribbon sitting on my desk so I decided to attach it to the cardfront to look like a wooden shelf for the bottles to rest.

I love how this card turned out!  The sayings from the hostess set make the perfect background and the potion bottles, stars, and glitter add lots of fun!  Make sure to check out the other design team cards, you’re going to love these sets and want to host your own party so you can get any of these sets for FREE (make sure to stay tuned there will be a special hostess incentive starting on Friday, October 9 that will make it an even better time to have your friends over for a party!)

Sketch Frenzy Friday Sketc Challenge: Versatile Christmas

Good morning!  It’s Friday again and it’s looking to be an exciting and interesting weekend.  Here in VA we’re looking forward to several days of rain and wind, highlighted by Hurricane Joaquin and guessing where it’s going to travel.  To add to this, I’m running the Ragnar DC relay race this weekend (and it’s not cancelled) so along with 11 other team members I’ll be running from Cumberland, MD to Nationals Park in D.C., this weather should definitely make for an interesting adventure so I would ask you to keep us in your thoughts!  Before I head out for the race I wanted to share my card for this weeks Sketch Frenzy Friday sketch challenge.  

For this card I started with Pool Party cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock that was embossed with the Big Shot and the Brickwall Embossing Folder (I sponged all over the cardstock with Mossy Meadow ink to add depth the embossing).  Next I took a piece of Smoky Slate cardstock and cute a circle using the 2 ½” Circle punch and stamped the greeting from the Versatile Christmas stamp set using Real Red Ink.  Next I took some Merry Moments Designer Series Paper and cut three squares to run along the right side.

Isn’t that little Santa too cute?  He was also super easy. It’s one of the prints in the Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper package and I just cut him out with my Paper Snips (no coloring needed, love that!!)  For the final touch I added a couple pieces of the Real Red 1/8” Stitched Ribbon and then tied a knot using the Silver 1/8” Silver Ribbon.

This is a fun card with a lot of little elements, which by themselves are simple and easy but all added together really help make the card fun and festive.  I can’t wait to give this away and spread some holiday cheer!  You can check out the other design team cards for further ideas and their favorite items and then play along (perfect crafting time is when it’s stormy and rainy so you can stay nice and warm in the studio).
