It’s my Birthday: Let Your Hair Down

Good morning!  It’s the best day of the year, yes it’s my birthday today and I’m celebrating a milestone birthday year so I’m looking forward to an extra special day (no pressure for the hubby, haha!!!!)  We’re currently on vacation and enjoying some well-deserved time off.  I also have a fellow Stampin’ Sister, Maria Pane, who’s my birthday buddy so I decided to make a fun birthday card that has lots of bling for a super fun card (come on, it’s my birthday, time to bling it out!!!)

I started with Bermuda Bay cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Irresistibly Yours Speciality Designer Series Paper (you only have ONE more day to get this DSP for FREE and trust me, you NEED this!!!) and colored it with Melon Mambo ink and a sponge.  I decided to make this card look like a package so I wrapped a piece of 1 ¼” Bermuda Bay Striped Ribbon around the top left corner of the card.  Now it’s time for the bling, I took a piece of Gold Sequin Trim and a piece of Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim, folded them in half and then tied them to the striped ribbon using a piece of Wild Wasabi Cotton Twine from the Painted Blooms Cotton Twine pack.  It’s super thick but looks so luxurious is person, I just want to touch it.

For the greeting I used the Let Your Hair Down Hostess stamp set and used Stampin’ Write Markers to color directly on the stamp before stamping on Whisper White cardstock.  I used the Project Life Corner Rounder Punch to punch all four corners before attaching it to the cardfront.

Sketch Frenzy Friday: Sheer Perfection Designer Vellum

Whoo hoo!  It’s Friday and not just any Friday, but a Friday before vacation so there’s lots to be excited about in our house.  Just wrapping up school and work today before we can get started with all the fun.  I have to admit I haven’t actually taken time off for Spring Break I think since I was in Middle School so I really do feel like a school kid today (haha!)  Before all that gets started I have a really fun card for this weeks Sketch Frenzy Friday sketch challenge.  Since Sale-a-Bration is quickly wrapping up (only 5 more days) I decided to showcase one of the great new FREE items that was added at the beginning of the month, Sheer Perfection Designer Vellum Stack.  This is so fun, the vellum comes in a 6”x6” pad and includes 24 sheets (2 each of 12 designers). 

I started with Crumb Cake for the cardbase and then added a piece of Whisper White cardstock (I do this with vellum so the image really pops).  I used my Stampin’ Write Markers and colored on the back of the vellum for a stained glass effect (I learned this when I first started stamping and it’s still great!)  For the bottom I took a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock and embossed it with the Big Shot and Fancy Fans Embossing Folder.  I wrapped a couple pieces of Thick Baker’s Twine using the 2014-2016 colors that was also released as a new SAB item (In Color Accessory Pack) to help the colors really pop and tied a bow with a different color of the twine.

The greeting is from the Any Many More stamp set and was stamped on Crumb Cake cardstock with Island Indigo ink (the only non-in color I used).  The greeting was cut out with the Big Shot and the Itty Bitty Banners Framelits and popped up dimensionals.

This card is so beautiful in person and I love how the patterns and texture really take center stage.  You really do need this vellum the patterns are so fun and the stack is big enough you can use it with the Treat Bag Thinlit so there are lots of possibilities.  You check out the other design team cards for further ideas and then play along.

Easter Basket: For Peeps Sake

Good morning!  This week is flying by and I have so much to do before we head out for Spring Break.  Since we’ll be on vacation the week before Easter (getting home just in time) I want to make sure I have everything ready before we leave so I’m not stressed.  I recently got the new Berry Basket BigzL Die and knew as soon as I saw it that it would be perfect for Easter so I decided to make this for Aidan’s treat from Mommy and Daddy.  I have to admit I love this die (it made this project so easy and really made me miss when we had a lot more Big Shot Dies (hint, hint Stampin’ Up! for the next calendar.) 

I used Crumb Cake cardstock for the basket base and you have to cut two pieces for the basket (which means you can get one basket out of an 8 1/2” x 11” piece of cardstock.  I also cut two handle pieces and two trim pieces using the Best Day Ever Designer Series Paper.  After cutting out the pieces I used the Hardwood stamp set to stamp the woodgain on all the Crumb Cake pieces using Crumb Cake ink.  I used Tombow Liquid Glue to attach the two pieces at the bottom and then used the Mini Stapler to staple the DSP trim piece to the basket which helps form the basket.  I added two handles but you could easily just use one in the center (I’ve made other baskets using the one handle). 

For the tag I used the For Peeps Sake stamp set and after stamping the greeting and easter egss I used the Ornate Tag Topper Punch to punch the tops of the tag and attached the tag to the basket handle using some ribbon from the Best Day Ever Designer Accessory Package.

After adding some paper grass to the basket I started filling it and have to say, I was shocked at how much this basket holds (more candy for Aidan, oh my!!)  It’s nice to have container projects that hold different amounts to suit your needs.  I’ve really been having fun playing with this stamp set (as you can tell) it’s so cute!!!

Stylin' Stampin' INKsiration Masculine Monday: Two Times the Fun

Good morning!  Today over on the Stylin’Stampin’ INKspiration blog it’s Masculine Monday and you know we always need ideas for the guys in our lives.  Aidan just finished his basketball season this weekend and Chris decided to coordinate at the last minute gifts for the coaches and then volunteered me to provide the cards for the kids to sign, oh and I had just a few hours to have them finished (no pressure!!!)  So down to the studio I went, and thanks to the Adventure Abounds Designer Series Paper Stack, I came back shortly later with these two cards that were super easy but really turned out great. 

For this first card I started with Basic Gray for the cardbase and embossed the front of the card using the Big Shot and Woodgrain Embossing Folder.  Next I cut a piece of the Adventure Abounds Designer Series Paper Stack in half (I like to do this so I get two cards with each piece of DSP and don’t have any scraps) and matted it with Sahara Sand Cardstock.  For the greeting I used the Hip Notes stamp set and stamped it with Versamark and then Heat Embossed it using the Heat Tool and Basic Black Embossing Powder on Vellum.  I wrapped the Vellum and a piece of Natural 5/8” Chevron Ribbon around the DSP layer before attaching the whole piece to the cardbase.


 
 




For the second card I started with Sahara Sand for the cardbase and once again embossed the front using the Perfect Polka Dot Embossing Folder.  For this card I used a scrap of DSP from the Adventure Abounds Designer Series Paper Stack and cut tails for a flag.  For the greeting I used the Chalkboard Paper and stamped the greeting from the Simply Wonderful stamp set (a SAB Freebie!!) using Whisper White Craft Ink.  Since I was in a hurry I used the Heat Tool to set the ink and then cut matching flag tails in this layer.  For the final detail I used the 1/8” Handheld Punch to punch two holes to thread some Mossy Meadow Stitched Satin Ribbon into a unique bow.

For not having a lot of time to whip these cards but I really like them (however I later learned I should have added a separate layer for the embossed piece so that both sides of the inside of the card were flat, forgot how big kid’s write, oops!!) and this DSP stack really has some beautiful images that can make cards simple yet impressive.  The rest of the design team is sharing some great masculine cards so make sure to check them out and then pick one to CASE and play along with.

Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge and Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration Stamp Set Focus: Dictionary

Good morning!  Com on weather man, say it isn’t so.  I’m ready for spring and got a beautiful glimpse of it and now it’s been taken away and there’s even mention of the “snow” word, I’m really hoping your wrong buddy.  To help warm things up I have a bright and cheery card today that’s a double dip.  I used the Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge along with the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration blog where we’re focusing on the background stamp set:  Dictionary.  I also decided to combine this with a brand new Sale-a-Bration stamp set that was released this month, For Being You which is so fun! 
 
I started with Blushing Bride cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Whisper White cardstock.  On this layer I stamped the background using the Dictionary stamp set and Blushing Bride ink and then sponged around the edges with the same ink. 

Next I stamped the “Thanks” from the For Being You stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and then colored it in with Stampin’ Write Markers with Blushing Bride, Wilde Wasabi, and Blackberry Bliss for a rainbow effect.  I also wrapped some Wild Wasabi Cotton Twine from the Painted Blooms Cotton Twine pack (this stuff is so soft and pretty!).  I stamped the rest of the greeting in Wild Wasabi Ink, punched it out with the Word Window Punch and then sponged around the edges with Blackberry Bliss ink before attaching it with dimensionals. 
This card is so fun and I love our background stamps since I can create exactly what I want in the colors I want, quick and easy.  Make sure to check out the other design team creations for further inspiration.

Can You Case it? Design Team - Sketch Challenge CYCI #61

Good morning!  It’s time to try out after our soggy Saturday and enjoy a much nicer Sunday (most of you know I enjoying running races and I had been regretting not signing up for a race that was yesterday but with the race I felt much better about not going, I really don’t like my feet being wet when I run, plus I would have missed Aidan’s basketball game which wouldn’t have been good.  Anyway, it’s time for a little creative inspiration and this weeks Can You Case It? Sketch challenge.  Again we were given complete freedom to make anything we wanted, with any products we want but we had to make the card in 10 minutes or less.  Thankfully I had the Lotus Blossom stamp set sitting on my desk recently and with the two-step stamping it makes beautiful cards a breeze. 

I started with Lost Lagoon for the cardbase and sponged random polka dots on the background using the Dots and Strips Mask and a sponge dauber.  Next I added a strip of DSP from the Typeset Speciality Designer Series Paper .  For the stamped image I took a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and started by stamping darkest to lightest which each of the flower and stem images using Lost Lagoon (full strength), Lost Lagoon (stamped off), and Pool Party inks for the flower and Mossy Meadow and Pear Pizzaz for the flower stems.  Next I added another piece of DSP from the Typeset Speciality Designer Series Paper package and tied a piece of Lost Lagoon Stitched Satin Ribbon around the layer before adhering it to the cardfront.

For the greeting, I used the same stamp set and stamped the greeting in Lost Lagoon ink and punched it out with a 1” Circle Punch and cut a mat for the greeting with the Big Shot and the Window Frames Framelits, and then attached it to the card with dimensionals.

This card turned out so soft and pretty you could really use it for any occasion (in fact I made a second one using a birthday greeting and different punches).  Remember, this is a Sale-a-bration stamp set and can earn if for FREE, but only through the end of the month so don’t miss out.  The other design team members shared wonderful cards as well so please go check them out and then play along with the sketch; I would love to see what you come up with.

Sketch Frenzy Friday Sketch Challenge: A Happy Thing

Happy Friday peeps!  The return of warmer weather has made such a difference this week, I love it!  Looking forward to a fun weekend that’s going to be focused on Aidan’s Basketball playoffs and I have a fun class on Sunday so I can’t wait!  Before all the fun and craziness begins it’s time for our weekly Sketch Frenzy Friday Sketch challenge.  I designed this weeks challenge and it’s always fun to see what is generated from an easy basic layout.  Since this is the last month of Sale-a-Bration I’ve been getting as much use and fun out of all the great products I earned for FREE while I can (well there’s nothing to say I won’t continue to use some of these products for my personal projects but I know Stampin’ Up' has even more fun in store for us this spring and I’ll have new things to play with). 

 

I started with Old Olive for the cardbase and then added a piece of Typeset Speciality Designer Series Paper (I know I’ve told you in the past how fun this paper is but it really is great!)  I did fold the bottom right corner at a right angle for a little fun and added a Daffodil Delight Candy Dot (from the Brights Candy Dots).  For the stamped image I stamped the lemon from the A Happy Thing stamp set in Memento Ink on Very Vanilla cardstock and then colored it in with Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Blendabilities Markers (I created this card before the Blendabilities were discontinued and will continue to enjoy my markers but you can get a similar effect by using your blender pens and Classic Ink Pad.  The greeting is from the same stamp set and was stamped in Old Olive ink. 

Along the top of the Very Vanilla Piece I used my Spiral Punch to punch along the top before matting with Daffodil Delight cardstock.  The final touch was to add some Old Olive 1/8” Taffeta Ribbon (this is one of my favorite ribbons since it’s so soft and lays flat when knotted which is great for mailing).

I had a lot of fun with this card, in fact so much fun that we made this as one of the cards in last months card class.  This lemon image definitely makes me think warm, spring and summer thoughts which we all need after this winter.  The other design team members shared some great cards as well so please go check them out and then play along with the sketch, I would love to see what you come up with.

Project Life for Quick and Easy Cards

Good morning!  It’s amazing to me how quickly we seemed that we are wrapping up winter and spring is starting to finally come around, the longer daylight and warmer weather seems to make everyone happier.  I’ve had a slew of friends and family that have birthdays so I’ve been working to try to keep up with all these occasions.  Thankfully, I had the This Day Project Life Mini Kit (free during Sale-a-Bration) open on my desk so I decided to use the different card pieces from the kit to whip up some quick and easy birthday card.  All I had to do was add a few stamps, ribbon, etc. and these came together in a flash.


 
This kit has so many great pieces I’ve order extra kits so I have on hand for future cards, scrapbook pages, whatever.  This mini kit will only be available through the end of March (and you can get it (along with 13 other SAB options) FREE with every $50 order.
Enjoy!

Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration Chalk Board: Birthday Bash

I'm back!  I told you I would have a second fun card to share with you.  Today on the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration blog we're showcasing the calkboard products or chalkboard effect.  I absolutely love this look so I was really excited when the new Chalkboard Paper and coordinating Chalkboard Inks were released in this years Occasions Catalog.  It makes it very easy to great this fun effect (which a softer look than if you were to use the White Heat Embossing I've shown in the past).  Since I have several birthdays in the near future I thought this technique would be great for a birthday card using the Balloon Bash stamp set.

I started with Bermuda Bay cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock.  On this piece I randomly stamped the graffiti stamp from the Balloon Bash stamp set in Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral, and Bermuda Bay ink.  Next I stamped the greeting on the Chalkboard paper using the Aquamarine Chalkboard Ink.  I also wanted to give it more of a chalkboard effect so I used a Sponge Dauber and some Whisper White Craft Ink to add some ink around the edges of the chalkboard paper.  This piece was matted with some Calypso Coral cardstock.  The final touch was to add a Crushed Curry button (from the SAB Best Day Ever Accessory Pack) and used Calypso Coral Baker's Twine to tie a bow in the button.

This card is quick and easy and still loads of fun, perfect for birthday greetings!  There are some other great ideas using these products and technique so make sure to check them out for further inspiration.

Sketch Frenzy Friday Sketch Challenge: One Tag Fits All

Happy Friday!  Well yesterday's snow storm certainly didn't disappoint, after a slow start there's plenty of snow for the kiddos to enjoy and they get a 4-day weekend.  Today I have double the fun for you and have two separate posts with fun cards so make sure you don't miss out.  For my first card Elizabeth gave us a great sketch over on the  Sketch Frenzy Friday sketch challenge blog and I decided to use it for a cute baby card.  I choose colors that you could use for either a boy or girl so it's great to have in your card stash, ready to go when needed.

I started with Calypso Coral for the cardbase and then added a layer of Sahara Sand.  On this piece I stamped the little images from the Best Day Ever stamp set in Sahara Sand, Soft Suede, Coastal Cabana, and Calypso Coral inks.  I also added some random rhinestones amongst the images.


For the greeting I stamped the images from the One Tag Fits All stamp set in Soft Suede ink and punched it out with the Notetag punch.  I stamped the rubber duck a second time and then colored all the pieces in with Stampin' Write Markers.  I used Paper Snips to cut out the rubber duck and attached it with dimensionals.  The final touch was to use the 1/8" Circle Punch to punch a hole so we could add a tag ribbon using some Coastal Cabana Ribbon from the Best Day Every Accessory Kit.

This is a great card that super mailable and has lots of fun elements while still be understated.  The One Tag Fits All stamp set has some great greetings and images that are super fun for any occasion.  The design team are sharing some great card using this sketch so make sure to check them out and then come play along and share what you create, it's a perfect time for all those that may still be snowbound and looking for something to do.

Can You Case it? Design Team - Sketch Challenge CYCI #59

Good morning! It's going to be another great Sunday and we're supposed to get another set of winter weather, really I think we've had enough. I decided to use this weeks Can You Case It? sketch challenge to help me get in the spring time mood.  The A Happy Thing stamp set has this cut little bird and is perfect for coloring using the Blendabilities markers.  I started with Bermuda Bay cardstock for the cardbase and then added a layer of Old Olive cardstock that was embossed with the Big Shot and Fancy Frames Embossing Folder (I decided to change things up and leave the bottom of the cardstock unembossed so I could add the greeting).  The greeting is from the And Many More stamp set and was stamped in Night of Navy ink.






For the main stamped image I stamped the bird from the A Happy Thing stamp set in Black Memento Ink and then colored it in with Bermuda Bay, Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight,and Old Olive Blendabilities Markers.  I used Night of Navy for the mat behind the stamped image.  I used some Sticky Strip to attach a piece of Hello Honey Stitched Satin Ribbon along the bottom of the stamped image and then added a couple of staples using the Handheld Stapler.

Isn't this bird cute?  I can't wait to start seeing the birds heading back as spring comes around so we can say goodbye to snow and cold for this season.  I also have lots of friends with upcoming birthdays so it's always good to stock up my card stash so I'm ready when  we need it.

Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration Masculine Monday: Boys will be Boys

Good morning!  It’s Monday and we’re heading home today so I can’t really call it “Happy Monday” since it’s always sad leaving Disney but we’ve had a fabulous time with the races and celebrating Aidan’s birthday, lots of memories!  Today over on the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration blog it’s Masculine Monday and you know it’s fun to work on those dude cards.  So today I decided to do something different and make a card for the “little dudes” since they’re just as important.  When the Boys will be Boys stamp set was released I had to have it since it’s so perfect for all the boys, you and young at heart.  This card is also bright and cheery and with a little metallic the guys will love it.

I started with Real Red cardstock and then added a piece of the Irresistibly Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper (another SAB freebie!!)  I used sponges and a rainbow of colors to create the rainbow effect on the paper and once I rubbed the paper with a paper towel to remove the excess ink the printed stars stay while and really pop against the colors.  I decided to mat this layer with Whisper White cardstock to help it really pop against the cardbase.

For the main stamped image I stamped the robot on Whisper White cardstock with Memento Black ink and then colored it in with my Stampin’ Write Markers (I could have used blendabilities but I was worried with all the small spaces I wouldn’t be able to really color like I wanted).  I punched the robot out with the 2” Circle Punch and then matted it with a piece of Pacific Point that was cut out with the Big Shot and Starburst Framelits.  For some accents to kind of look like cogs I cut out a coup of different size starburst using Silver Foil cardstock.  For the larger piece I layered it with a piece of Old Olive cardstock that was punched with the 1” circle Punch.  For the other I cut the inside of the silver starburst out with the ½” Circle Punch (hint:  punch the center out first and then you can center the starburst framelit so the hole is in the middle).  I used dimensionals to attach the smaller cog for dimension.

The greeting is from the same stamp set and was stamped on Pumpkin Pie cardstock.  To cut it out I used the Big Shot and Apothecary Accent Framelits (I just centered my strip so I just cut the decorative pieces on the edges of the greeting) and then attached it with dimensionals.

This card is so fun, it can’t help but brighten your little one’s day.  Make sure to check out the other design team creations for further inspiration.

Can You Case it? Design Team - Sketch Challenge CYCI #58

Good morning and Happy Sunday.  As you wake up and are reading this I’m just finishing up running the Princess Half Marathon and this weekend has been so wonderful (I definitely see how people get hooked on running Disney races, they really are amazing!!)   For this weeks Can You Case It? Sketch challenge we were given complete freedom to make anything we wanted, with any products we want.  In honor of this special day of course I had to use the Best Day Ever product suite (all of which you can earn for FREE during Sale-a-bration) since it really fits the day!  I started with Coastal Cabana for the cardbase (can’t believe this color will be retiring in a few months, I need to remember to stock up!  Next I added a piece of Soft Suede that was embossed with the Big Shot and Lovely Lace Embossing Folder.  I added a strip of the Best Day Ever Designer Series Paper along the side (this pack has some great patterns and colors). 

For the greeting I sued the Best Day Ever Stamp set and stamped with Soft Suede ink on Crumb Cake cardstock.  Then I used the Scallop Tag Topper Punch to punch the top and added a piece of Calypso Coral ribbon from the Best Day Ever Accessory Pack.  I also added another strip of the DSP to the bottom of the tag and used dimensionals to attach the tag to the cardfront.  The final touch was to add a Crushed Curry button (from the same accessory pack, see I managed to used every single item from that product suite on this one card) and threaded Calypso Coral Baker’s Twine through but button for a cute bow. 

I have to say, this card makes me smile and think happy thoughts every time I look at it.  And most of the products I earned for FREE, which also makes me happy.  The other design team members shared wonderful cards as well so please go check them out and then play along with the sketch, I would love to see what you come up with, and I hope your Sunday is the Best.Day.Ever.

Sketch Frenzy Friday Sketch Challenge: Simply Wonderful

Good morning and it’s a magical Friday!  We’ve arrived safely in FL and looking forward to a fun-filled, magical weekend.  I’ve been looking forward to this weekend for almost a year and can’t believe it’s finally here.  This morning I’m heading over to the race expo and then it’s off to Hollywood Studios for some park fun.  Of course I can’t leave you hanging for inspiration so since it’s Friday it’s time for our weekly Sketch Frenzy Friday Sketch challenge.  This week Patrice gave us a fun layout and I decided to use it to showcase some of the great Sale-a-bration items you can earn for FREE right now!!!  The card started with the This Day Project Life Mini Kit (these kits are good for so much more than just memory keeping!!).

I started with Crushed Curry for the cardbase and then added a piece Island Indigo cardstock that I embossed with the Big Shot and Fancy Fans Embossing Folder.  I added two pieces of ribbon from the Best Day Ever Accessory Kit (also a SAB freebie).  I used the Hexagon Punch to punch three pieces from the This Day Project Life kit for the patterned paper.  For the greeting I used the Simply Wonderful stamp set and used my Stampin’ Write Marker to just ink the part of the stamp I wanted and then punched it out with the Modern Label Punch and used dimensionals to attach the greeting to the cardfront.
 

For a fun accent I created a flower piece. First I stamped the flower using the Petite Petals stamp set and stamped on Rich Razzleberry cardstock and then used the Petite Flower Punch to punch it out.  I used my bone folder to help curl up the edges to create dimension to the flower.  For the center of the flower I used a Crushed Curry button from the Best Day Ever Accessory Pack and used some Calypso Coral Baker’s Twine to tie a bow in the center of the button.

I used a lot of different items on this card, but thanks to Sale-a-bration most of the items were free, plus this was a really quick card to pull together.  The other design team members shared some fun cards as well so please go check them out and then play along with the sketch, I would love to see what you come up with, it’ll be great for any project on your To Do list this weekend.
