Stamping 411......Birthday Wishes

Happy Monday Peeps!!

Hope you all had a great weekend and are ready to tackle another week!

Today I am sharing a card I made yesterday using the sketch this week on the Stamping 411 Blog.

I started out with the image, this fabulous truck from the Stampin Up "Countryside" stamp set.

I stamped the image onto some confetti white card stock with black stazon and colored using my aqua painter and ink pads. I used Island Indigo for the truck.

I thought I might be able to make a masculine card with this image, but in the end I had to go and "girl" it up with the little flowers! I just couldn't help myself, it is just how I roll!!! LOL!!

The base of the card is Island Indigo card stock and then I followed that up with some Pool Party card stock that I embossed using the square lattice EF. The DSP on here, the red and blue are both from the "Summer Smooches" pack.

The sentiment is from the Stampin Up "Petite Pairs" set. I used my circle punches, 1-1/4" and 1-3/8" to punch out the sentiment and for the mat. 

So who would get this card, a guy or a girl or could it go either way? Not sure....hmmmm?

Well, that is all from me today, thanks for stopping by today and be sure and leave me a comment, I love hearing from you!

HAPPY STAMPING!!

OCC...Masculine Cards

Happy Saturday Peeps, 

It is time for another Our Creative Corner Challenge. 

This week our hostess is the fabulous Tui Nathan from Stampin-Time. Her challenge for us is:

Masculine cards are the type of cards I have the most difficulty with, therefore my challenge is to create a masculine card or project.  However, if you would like a real challenge and to step up the heat a bit try creating a masculine card .... using .... non-traditional masculine colours - plus, any neutrals of your choice.

Masculine cards are very hard for me, it is not something I do much of, I admit I like my ribbon and pearls and embellishments, in other words I like to "girl" it up. So I cringed when I saw this challenge, but hey, that is why they are called challenges, right?

We originally was suppose to make our masculine card with non masculine colors, but Tui modified that when we all complained so much....:(

I did try tho, I used Pool Party and Tempting Turquoise to color the truck, which I think or non traditional colors for a guy card. I added in black, for the base  and to matt the main image. The DSP is from the retired Love Letters paper pack. 

The main image is fro the Stampin UP set called "Countryside". I stamped with black stazon onto very vanilla card stock and colored with my aqua painter and ink pads.

The second layer is a piece of embossed pool party card stock. I embossed with the square lattice EF and then sponged it with some crumb cake ink.  I added two black brads and some twine with two stacked buttons.

Be sure to check the Our Creative Corner Blog to see what the rest of the design team came up with for this fun  challenge.
I hope you can find some time to play along and if you do, don't forget to link it up over on the Our Creative Corner Blog so we can all see it!

Thanks for stopping by today and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

GOOD MORNING PEEPS!!! It's Sunday which means it is time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Sample

This is the fabulous sketch Karen has for us this week;



Awesome sketch Huh? I know lots of people won't love this one because of the tilted panel, but I don't mind them, in fact I kinda like them!!! LOL!

I started this card with a base of basic black and then for the next layers I used more basic black, some newsprint DSP and another piece of basic black. I ran all these layers through the square lattice embossing folder with my Big Shot.

The main panel is from a set I just got, just got for free I might add! Nothing much better than free rubber!! I stamped the truck image onto some watercolor paper with black stazon. I used my aqua painter and my ink pads to color it. I used Pacific Point ink for the truck and some crumb cake for the sign and baskets and then real red and cherry cobbler for the apples. I colored in the grass and ground with old olive and soft suede. I matted this with basic black and the DSP I used is from a retired pack. The sentiment comes from the Thank You Kindly Stamp set and is stamped onto some watercolor paper and punched out with the wide oval punch. I mated this with more of the DSP. I added some silver pearls to the sentiment piece and to the card base bottom and side.





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