Sketch Frenzy Friday Sketch Challenge and SSINK Friday Favorites: Friendly Wishes

Happy Friday!  It’s the last day of July, can’t believe we’re starting to think about summer winding down, it’s really not possible.  We’re looking forward to a fun weekend now that everyone is back at home, whoo hoo!  Today over on the Sketch Frenzy Friday blog we have a fun sketch challenge and I decided to combine it with the Stylin' Stampin' INKspirationblog Friday Favorities post.  There are lots of favorites in this new catalog but the two I used on today’s card are the Friendly Wishes Stamp set and Deco Labels Framelits (originally I thought these framelits were retired so I was so excited to see them around for another year).  This sketch is nice and easy and is a great way to show off lots of great DSP, embossing, etc. lots of possibilities.

I started with Marina Mist cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Basic Black cardstock for a mat before adding a piece of Watermelon Wonder cardstock that was embossed with the Big Shot and Chevron Embossing Folder and a piece of Gold Designer Series Paper from the Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack (I love this font print and the addition of silver and gold paper to this years pack is fabulous!!)  Next I wrapped a piece of Whisper White 3/8” Stitched Satin Ribbon around the cardfront and tied a knot.

The greeting is from the Friendly Wishes stamp set and all I did was use some Tuxedo Memento Black Ink to stamp on Marina Mist cardstock and then cut it out with the Big Shot and Deco Labels Framelits before attaching with dimensionals.

I really like the clean easy lines with this sketch and the other design team members came up with some great cards you should go check out for inspiration and then play along (try using this sketch for your next project and see how you like it!!)

Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration Masculine Monday: The Open Sea

Good morning and Happy Monday!  After a wonderfully fun week it's definitely nice to be home.  I'm still on a convention high and have so many great ideas I can't wait to share, but today it's Masculine Monday on the  Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration blog.  The decided to use The Open Sea stamp set, a classic.

I started with Crumb Cake for the cardbase and then added a piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock that was embossed with the Big Shot and the Zig Zag Embossing Folder.  Next I added a piece of Early Espresso DSP from the Neutrals Designer Series Paper Package (and sponged all over with Crumb Cake ink so the white stripes weren't so bright and would add match the Very Vanilla piece I'm using).

I stamped two circles for this card, the first using Very Vanilla cardstock and using the globe image that was stamped in Soft Suede ink, punched out with the 2" Circle Punch and then sponged around the edge with Crumb Cake ink.  I used the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set to stamp the greeting in Mossy Meadow ink.  The second circle uses the journal stamp image and was stamped with Dijon Delight Ink on Dijon Delight cardstock before cutting it out with the Big Shot and the Circle Collection Framelits.  I used Cajun Craze ink to sponge around the edge of this circle.

For some fun accents I started with a little piece of the 1 1/4" Burlap Ribbon, trimmed off both edges and frayed it.  I stamped the anchor image using the Dijon Delight ink on Very Vanilla cardstock and then cut it out with Paper Snips.  The final touch is  little bow using some Early Espresso Baker's Twine.

All the different elements play well with each other to make a great "dude" card.  I did realize it's funny that I made a nautical themed card but didn't use any blues in the it, but that's OK, it's all fun, right?  The other design team members are sharing some fun cards so please, go check them out and see what inspires you for your next guy card!

Convention 2015 Swap Gift Tag: Lots of Joy

Happy Saturday!  We’re up early and ready for our last events of convention!  It’s been a wonderful time and I love seeing all the fabulous friends I’ve gained because of Stampin’ Up! but I must admit I’m a little excited for convention to end, because that means I’m heading up to Seattle to pick up Aidan and bring him home. It’s been two weeks since I’ve seen him and let’s just say I miss my little guy to pieces.  Anyway, during the convention swaps it’s not just cards we make, it can be scrapbook pages, 3d items, gift packaging, anything.  I was in a gift tag swap (I love the idea of making beautiful one of a kind gift tags for gifts but I don’t always have time so I thought this would be a great way to get new ideas I can share so we can have these tags already made and ready to go.  Since we all know Christmas and the winter holidays will be here before we know it I decided to make a Christmas themed tag for my swap.

I started with Cherry Cobbler cardstock and added a piece of Merry Moments Designer Series Paper.  Before I glued the DSP down I added a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock that I punched with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch so I had an easy place to add some Cherry Cobbler Baker’s Twine to attach the tag to my gift when the time comes.  Next I used the Lots of Joy stamp set and stamp the greeting by inking the stamp with Mossy Meadow and Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Write Markers and stamping on Whisper White cardstock before punching it out with the 1 3/8” Circle Punch. I also punched out a piece of Old Olive cardstock using the 1 ¾” Circle Punch and then embossed it with the Big Shot and Chevron Embossing Folder.  I added a piece of Mossy Meadow 5/8” Stitched Cotton Ribbon as a little flag and a star I punched out of Gold Glimmer Paper and it Itty Bitty Accent Punch Pack.  I used dimensionals on the greeting and the glimmer star for different layers to be raised.

The holidays are approaching quickly, we got to see this years Holiday catalog and there are so many great products that will help in all your holiday projects.  I’ve already started on some of my projects but now it’s time to really kick it in to gear, I’m going to try to get a couple things done each month leading up to the holidays so “hopefully” it lessens the stress come December (we’ll see how it goes!!)

Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration Stamp Set Focus: No Bones About It

 
 


I’m back and it’s time for another fun card share.  Today over on the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration blog we’re doing a Stamp Set Focus, this time it’s the set No Bones About It!  This is such a cute set and if you have little boys in your life this is a must have stamp set. Unfortunately this is not a set I know (yes, I don’t own everything in the catalog, yet) but I myself and several of the designers wanted to play along so Kim Ryden was super nice and agreed to send us some stamped images from the set and then we had to take what she sent us (she picked the images, colors, etc.) and see what we could come up with (it’s kind of like Chopped!)  So I received 4 quarter sheets of stamped images and I came up with this card (one sheet was stamped perfect for the inside so it was glued inside as is).

I started with Cucumber Crush cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of the Crumb Cake cardstock that I embossed with the Big Shot and the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder (I did sponge all over the embossed piece with Crumb Cake ink to help highlight all the perfect dots that remind me of the skin of a dinosaur).  Next I added a piece of Crumb Cake DSP from the Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack and matted it with Pumpkin Pie cardstock.

So I started with the stamped leaves and cut it out with the 2 ½” Circle Punch and punched out the greeting with the 1 ¾” Circle Punch and matted it with a piece of Cucumber Crush cardstock that was punched out with the 2” Circle Punch.  Kim provided this awesome dinosaur that she heat embossed so I just cut him out using my Paper Snips and attached him so it looks like he’s eating the leaves.  I used dimensionals to attach the greeting circle and the cut out dinosaur.  I had a little piece of the 5/8” Neutrals Chevron Ribbon so I folded it over and attached it to the cardfront and then used a medium Pumpkin Pie button from the Brights Designer Button Package and tied a bow using Old Olive Baker’s Twine for the final touch.

This is such a fun stamp set, it just makes me smile and I can’t wait to share this card with a little guy who needs to know I’m thinking of him.  Make sure to check out the other cards the design team shared.  We had a lot of fun with this “mystery basket” idea so don’t be surprised if you see more of this in the future (it’s great to help stretch our creativity!)

Sketch Frenzy Friday Card Sketch Challenge: Endless Birthday Wishes

 Good morning!  It’s Friday and we’re having a blast at convention.  Before the events start this morning a few of us are heading out to run the Deseret Classic Half Marathon as part of the Utah’s Pioneer Day holiday.  We’re really looking forward to the opportunity to run with friends that don’t live close and see some of the sights of the city. I’m have several fun posts scheduled for today so you’ll want to make sure to come back and check them out for lots of fun.  I’m going to start this morning with this weeks Sketch Frenzy Friday sketch challenge.  I provided this weeks sketch and it’s really fun to see what different designers come up with using your basic sketch idea, love all the possibilities!  I have lots of friends birthdays in July so I’m busy making sure I’m ready for all the birthday greetings.

For this card I started with Tip Top Toupe cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Pool Party cardstock that was embossed with the Big Shot and the Arrows Embossing Folder.  Next I added a piece of the Cherry on Top DSP and used some Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim along the top of the DSP.  I added a couple of flags using the different patterns from the same DSP and tied a double bow using Bermuda Bay Baker’s Twine for a fun touch.

For the greeting I used the Endless Birthday Wishes stamp set and stamped the cake using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, colored it in with Stampin’ Write Markers and then punched it out with the 1 3/8” Circle Punch.  For a little extra bling I added some Dazzling Details to the birthday cake candles using the 2 Way Glue Pen.  It was matted with Cucumber Crush cardstock that was punched out with the 1 ¾” Scallop Circle Punch and attached with dimensionals.   The greeting is from the same stamp set (I really like how all the words are separate so you can build your own greeting) and was punched out with the new Washi Punch.

I made this for a special friend and this fits her cheery personality perfectly and she loves bling and sparkle just like me.  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 crazy hot since I can escape to my studio which is nice and cool).

GoDivas Convention Swap: That Thing You Did

Good afternoon!  It’s been a whirlwind of a first day and it’s only just starting we have lots of classes this afternoon and the we have the awards program and big 1920’s afterparty tonight (I can’t wait but I’m going to have to make it an early night tonight since some of us are getting up early, early, early tomorrow to go run the Deseret Classic Half Marathon which is part of Utah’s Pioneer Day festivities (yeah I know I’m crazy, but love every minute of it!)  So as you may know one of the big activities during any gathering of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators is swapping.  Basically you make a lot of the one card design and so does everyone else and then you “swap” so you get lots of new ideas from other demonstrators.  It’s super fun!  So this afternoon I had a group swap with a new swap group I joined the GoDivas, let me tell you these ladies rock!!! And I’m so honored to be part of the group.  So this is the card I made for this swap and I hope the ladies love it.

I started with Soft Suede cardstock for the cardbase and then layered a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock that was stamped all over with the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set.  Next I took a piece of Cajun Craze cardstock and embossed it with the Big Shot and the Brickwall Embossing Folder (I also sponged all over the embossing with Crumb Cake ink for a more distressed look).  Next I took a piece of Basic Black Cardstock and heat embossed the greeting from the That Thing You Did stamp set using Versamark ink, White Embossing Powder and the Heat Tool.  After that was done I took a sponge dauber and some Whisper White Craft Ink and rubbed it on the cardstock for a chalkboard effect.  This piece was then matted with Soft Suede cardstock.

For some texture I ruffled up a piece of Chevron 5/8” Natural Ribbon and attached it to the cardfront with the Handheld stapler.  The final touch was to add a small star using the Gold Foil Paper and the Big Shot and the Circle Card Thinlit die and attached it to the card with a dimensional.

I absolutely love this new stamp set, so much so that I have to warn you now I used it on several other swap cards so you’ll get lots of ideas using the same set (trust me you will have to have this when I’m done sharing!!!)

Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration Design Team Swap: Vintage Leaves

Good morning!  Convention officially starts today so we’re heading over to the convention center to dive right into the fun.  Last night we had a team dinner with other design team members (at least those that are here in Salt Lake City, we missed those who couldn’t attend) from the Stylin’ Stampin’ INKspiration blog and we had a great evening.  Of course we decided to swap cards amongst the team members (those who couldn’t travel still participated in the swap if they wanted) and boy did these ladies really outdo themselves, I love all there work!  We each picked a stamp set and I decided to use the new Vintage Leaves stamp set with the matching framelits.  It was fun to make a fall themed card but I’m really excited to see what other products will be in this years holiday catalog that can also work for fall (we get to see the catalog and some of the products during this mornings General Session, whoo hoo!!)

I started with Cajun Craze cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Whisper White cardstock that I stamped with the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set before attaching a piece of Chocolate Chip DSP from the Neutrals Designer Series Paper.  I used the Vintage Leaves stamp set and stamped leaves out of Cajun Craze, Mossy Meadow, and Blackberry Bliss and then cut them out with the coordinating Leaflets Framelits (makes easy work of these).  Then I crumbled up each of the leaves to add more texture to them before attaching them to the cardfront.  I tied a knot bow out of Dijon Delight 1” Dotted Lace Trim and attached it using glue dots.  Instead of stamping a greeting I decided to use the new Greetings Framelits and cut them out of Blackberry Bliss cardstock.

I can definitely see I’m going to have fun with this stamp set and framelits on lots of projects in the coming months, plus it will be great for gift packaging and scrapbooking.  I hope the ladies liked my card as much as I do.

Fab Friday Sketch Challenge: Stake Your Claim

Good morning!  I arrived safely last night in Salt Lake City and are looking forward to relaxing this morning and then some pre-convention fun today, including heading to the Stampin’ Up! Home Office for a tour, which is always a lot of fun.  With everything I had to do to get thread to leave I realize I haven’t shared any projects with you but I promise I will make up for it the rest of week.  Today I decided to play along with the sketch challenge over on the Fab Fridayblog (this is always a fun sketch group) and used the card for another birthday card I needed.  This was a nice, simple layout which is great for letting the embellishments really shine. 

I started with Crumb Cake cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Pacific Point cardstock that I embossed with the Big Shot and Lovely Lace Embossing Folder. Next I took a piece of DSP from the Pretty Petals Designer Series Pack and matted with Basic Black cardstock.  I used two different patterns of the DSP and the flower punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch pack to make the little flowers and after folding up the petals for more dimension added a small pearl to the center of each flower.

For the greeting I used the Stake Your Claim stamp set (this little greetings on the stake tags are so cut and after stamping it with Old Olive ink on Crumb Cake cardstock I cut it out with the Big Shot and the Handpicked Framelits.  I tucked the stake of the greeting behind my DSP square and used a dimensional top up the top of the greeting.  For a little added texture I added a piece of Crumb Cake 3/8” Stitched Satin Ribbon (this is one of my favorite types of ribbon we have in the catalog and was so excited to see it offered in more of our traditional color family colors this year) ruffled up along the bottom of the DSP.

With the flowers and the garden stake this is a perfect card for a summer birthday and I know my friend will really enjoy it.

Can You Case it? Design Team - Sketch Challenge CYCI #79

Happy Sunday!  This will sound a little selfish but we have been enjoying our relaxing, kidless week (we miss the kiddo but it’s a little fun to have a break, just being honest!)  Today I’m meeting a friend for manis/pedis and I’m really looking forward to this, plus I’m hoping to finish getting ready for convention since I leave on Tuesday.  For this weeks Can You Case It? Sketch challenge since several of the designers are getting ready for convention we were given a play day and we could create anything we wanted.  I’ve been making a lot of birthday cards so I wanted to break out and do something different and I was so excited when the Groovy Love stamp set was in the new catalog so I decided to give it a little love. 

I started with Rich Razzleberry cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Whisper White that I sponged with the Hearts and Stars Decorative Mask (these are such a great tool, and very inexpensive!!)  The greeting is from the Lovely Amazing You stamp set (this stamp set was the last one released as part of the original monthly Photopolymer Stamp set program which means it may only be available for 6 months after it’s release so if you want this set in your stamping toolbox make sure to order soon!) and was stamped in Tuxedo Black Momento Ink (I will admit it depends on the day if this saying is true, don’t you agree???,  Haha!!)  Next I added a piece of Gold Designer Series Paper (from the Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack (this is a new addition this year and it’s great!!) and matted it with Basic Black before attaching it to the cardfront.  I used the ½” Circle Punch to punch little notches on the sides so I could wrap some Basic Black Baker’s Twine around the DSP layers and then tie a bow.

For the main stamped image I used the Groovy Love stamp set and stamped the heart outline in black ink on Rich Razzleberry cardstock before cutting it out with the 2” Circle Punch.  Next I stamped the dotted heart in Versamark Ink on Basic Black cardstock and then heat embossed it with the Heat Tool and Gold Embossing Powder and then punched it out with the Sweetheart Punch and attached both layers with dimensionals so it really pops up.

It was fun to change things up and add lot of “luxury” to this card with the gold, embossing, and sponging, this could be a great anniversary card or just letting someone know you’re thinking of them, it’s fun to surprise people with card, just because.  The other designers have come up with some great cards to inspire you so please, go check them out and then share your card so we can see all the fun!

Sketch Frenzy Friday: A World of Thanks

Good morning!  It’s been a nice and quiet week with Aidan being out of town but I’ll admit our exciting activities have been going to bed early (I know, so sad but so good at the same time).  It’s Friday so I have a new Sketch Frenzy Friday Sketch Challenge to share and we were given a unique panel layout so I decided to break out one of the new background stamps, A World of Thanks and used it for all the panels on the card.

I started with Old Olive for the cardbase and then added a piece of Basic Black cardstock that was the basis for my panels.  Next I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamped on the one large piece after using my Stampin’ Write Markers to ink up the stamp so I have lots of color.  After stamping then I cut my panels, quick and easy and then attached it the card front.

There is so much going on with all the panels I didn’t want to add a lot to detract so  I added a some Basic Black Baker’s Twine around the cardfront and then tied a bow.  Of course I needed a little bling so I used some Silver and Red Glimmer Paper and the Medium Heart Punch, Itty Bitty Accent Punch Pack and the Big Shot and Star Collection Framelits to create the small center star and the larger glimmer star outline.  I glued the larger star directly to the cardfront and then used a dimensional to pop up the smaller star.

This background stamp is so fun I can see lots of uses for it using all the different language greetings either as they are or stamped individually, a real “bang for your buck” stamp, I will definitely be using it for lots of projects in the future.  The design team is also sharing some great designs so go check them out and come play along, this is also a great sketch for using scraps of DSP.

Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration/Hand Stamped Sentiments Card Sketch Challenge: Boys will Be Boys

Good morning!  After a weekend full of travel Aidan is safe visiting his grandparents and having and blast and I'm back home and enjoying a little time with just Chris (doesn't happen very often).  Today I decided to combine a couple challenges, the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration blog card sketch and Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge.  I love when I can combine things and get twice the bang for the effort.  Bree gave us a fun sketch this month and I decided to stick pretty close to the sketch and try cutting out the angled shape, it took a little time to figure out, especially the mat but in the end I really liked the effect.

I started with Pacific Point cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Whisper White cardstock that was embossed with the Big Shot and Lucky Stars Embossing Folder.  Next I took a piece of Real Red DSP from the Brights Designer Series Paper Stack and trimmed it down using my paper trimmer (I used my ruler to mark the center point on the sides of the DSP and then trimmed 1/2" down).  Then I took a piece of Pacific Point cardstock for the mat and attached it to the DSP and then trimmed it down to match.






For the greeting I used the Boys will be Boys stamp set and stamped it with Pacific Point ink and punched it out with the new Washi Label Punch (I love this punch and it's perfect for greetings!)  I did also sponge around the edges with Real Red ink.  The final touch was to add a piece of Pacific Point 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon (love this ribbon!!!)










 
 




I loved the Red, White, and Blue inspiration from Hand Stamped Sentiments and it worked perfect for this card.  I actually made this card for Aidan to leave in his suitcase as a little remember while he's away (unfortunately, I forgot that the card was in my backpack until he was gone so I'll have to drop this in the mail, good intentions!)

The designers have made some great cards today so go check them out and play along, you never know what you'll come up with.

Can You Case it? Design Team - Sketch Challenge CYCI #78

Happy Sunday!  After my world wind trip to Seattle this weekend I’m so happy to be waking up this morning at home.  I’m so excited Aidan has this opportunity to spend time with his grandparents and look forward to hearing about all their adventures.  Today it’s time for another edition of the Can You Case It? weekly challenge and this week we have a color challenge we’re we were provided two colors (black and white) and we got to pick the third color.  When I started working on this card I had a piece of the Cherry on Top Designer Series Paper sitting out on my desk so I decided to use it for this card and it was Bermuda Bay.

 I started with a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock for the cardbase (this is a new product in this catalog and I love how thick it is, perfect for cardbases!)  Next I added a piece of Basic Black cardstock that was embossed with the Big Shot and Zig Zag Embossing Folder.  For the main stamped image I used the Giggle Greetings stamp set and stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Whisper White ink before coloring it in with a blender pen and Bermuda Bay ink (trust me if I had a hairball I would be a little green in the face, hence the blue cat, haha!)

I decided to add several embellishments to kick the WOW factor up on this card, including Whisper White Satin Ribbon, a Basic Black Button from the Neutrals Button Assortment with a bow tied in the center with some Bermuda Bay Baker’s Twine.

This stamp set has some great images and funny greetings which just make me smile.  We all have friends with that odd sense of humor that would totally get this card.  The other design team members are sharing some wonderful cards for inspiration so please, go check them out and then play along and share what you create so we can all enjoy.

Sketch Frenzy Friday: Remember your Birthday Washi Wishes

Good morning!  It’s another Friday and today is going to be crazy.  After work Aidan and I are flying out to Seattle so he can spend a couple of weeks with his Grandparents (he looks forward to this every year) then I’m flying back Saturday morning so let’s just say me and the airplane seat are going to become good friends for several hours (thankfully I have lots of projects planned to help keep me occupied).  For this weeks Sketch Frenzy Friday sketch challenge Kim gave us a unique layout that’s great for using Washi tape (or scraps of DSP) and I decided to use this sketch as inspiration for a birthday I have coming up.


 







 

 
 
 
I started with Mint Macaron cardstock  for the cardbase and then added a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped the greeting from the Remembering Your Birthday stamp set using Calypso Coral ink .  Next I took several pieces of the Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper Stack that were cut at varying lengths and used Paper Snips to trim the edges of the DSP in different patterns to mimic tears on washi tape.  I added three flowers that I punched out use the flower from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack (using Mint Macaron and Calypso Coral cardstock) attached them to the cardfront and bent the petals up for dimension.  I added pearls to the center of each flower and then used my Old Olive Stampin’ Write Marker to draw lines down from the flowers to mimic stems.  The final touch was to add a bow I tied with a couple pieces of Basic Black Baker’s Twine.

I was worried about this card when I first saw the sketch but using the different DSP patterns was a lot of fun and made this card come together in a flash (perfect for those last minute needs!!)
