Boo To You

 

Happy Wednesday Peeps!!!

The challenge this week at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge

is a Halloween challenge:

 

I have always been a big fan of Halloween, 

I love everything about it and I have always loved crafting for it,  

this year, however,  I have struggled with getting into it. I don't know why.

Anyways, I did make his fun little card yesterday.

I pulled out the Boo to You stamp set for my Zombie Frankenstein image.

I stamped with black stazon onto thick Whisper Whiter and 

colored with my Aqua Painter and ink pads.

Don't you love his fun Googlie Eyes?!! 

I fussy cut him out and  put him aside to make the rest of the card.

 

 The base of my card is Pumpkin Pie and the DSP is from the Monster Bash DSP pack.

I matted both of my pieces of Designer Series Paper with Basic Black card stock.

I used the Layering Circles Dies for my circle pieces. The scallop piece is Pumpkin Pie and the center is whisper white that I embossed with the Stylish Scroll EF.

"Frankie" is added to he circle piece with dimensionals.

I added a black strip of card stock across the bottom of the card and then layered a piece of

Black Glittered Ribbon across it.

The Layered Circle with Frankie is added next with dimensionals.

The sentiment comes from the Boo To You set and is die cut and matted with a die from the Ornate Frames dies. I added it with dimensionals as well.

 

I finished the card with a few black bats that are punched with one of the 

punches from the Every Season Punch Pack and some rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestone pack.

Listed below are all the "ingredients" used to make this card.

Happy Thursday Peeps!!

Today I have a card to share that features the sketch at 

Stamps, Ink, Paper Challenge.

 This week is a great sketch:

I am using a fave set, All That You Are stamp set.

I went yellow this time using some Daffodil Delight ink and Pear Pizzazz for the leaves.

I stamped with Black Stazon and colored with my water brush.

 

The base of the card is thick whisper white followed by some daffodil delight card stock.

I then embossed another piece of white with the pretty Basketweave EF.

I fussy cut out my floral image and added it to the base with dimensionals.

I used the Well Written Framelits and matching stamp set for my sentiment.

I die cut 3 Happy's with basic black card sock and glued them all together.

I cut up some dimensionals into small pieces to add to the back of the die cut piece and added it to the card.

I stamped the Birthday with Black Memento ink and cut out the small rectangle.

I added it to to the card with more dimensionals.

 

I used my Wink of Stella all over the floral image and the happy die cut for some added shimmer.

I finished with a few sticky back rhinestones.

Thanks for coming by!

Thinking of You

 

Happy Thursday Peeps!!!

Today I have another Floral Romance card to share.

Over at the  SIP Challenge it is Designer's Choice. 

I absolutely love this set with it's matching dies.

The dies are almost better than the stamp set, there are some really nice dies with this set.

A must have in my opinion.

I begun by stamping my image and water coloring.

I die cut it out and I also stamped and colored a few extra flowers.

 

 

The base of the card is Thick Whisper White and I cut and embossed anoher piece of whie using the Tufted EF.

I die cut the "trellis" piece with Pear Pizzazz card stock.

The sentiment piece is another die in this set.

I added a twine bow and a few rhinestones to finish it up.

Thank you for coming by!

Thank You

 

Hello Peeps!!

I have had a busy week, working out of town two days 

and then a short trip to help with the grand babies check up appointments.

I am tired today! LOL!! 

Over at the SIP challenge they have a fun challenge this week.

I love crumb cake with soft suede, so that was what I went with.

 

I used the Bloom by Bloom set.

I off stamped them once to get a lighter image for the leaves and flower heads.

I stamped the dots with Soft Suede.

The sentiment is from the Climbing Rose set and is stamped with Soft Suede as well.

I added a small strip of DSP across the bottom of the image panel and added a twine bow.

 

I used Crumb Cake for my base and followed that with a piece of Soft Suede. I then used the Tufted EF on another piece of Crumb Cake.

I then added my image piece and another piece of Soft Suede at opposite tilts. They are added with dimesionals.

I finished with a few basic rhinestones.

Thanks for coming by today!

Happy Birthday

 

 Happy Thursday Peeps!!!

Sorry for being MIA for a couple of days. 

Life gets busy, I spent some time with the grand babies and also cutting out a new quilt pattern that I have to get made before Mother's Day for a family member.

I have a hard time splitting my time between sewing and stamping. I tend to get caught up with just one and totally ignore the other. I am working on that.

anyway......on to my card

I made this card with a couple of challenges in mind. 

First up is my loose interpretation of this week's Freshly Made Sketches 

AND

Stamps, Ink and Paper Challenge to use Vellum

 I stamped the image from the stamp set All That You Are on thick whisper white card stock with black stazon and colored with my water brush and inks.

 

I colored very lightly with Calypso Coral and leaves are Pear Pizzazz.

I then fussy cut it out. I added an extra flower to my stem.

Can you see the bones of the sketch here? I hope so, I can. LOL!

The base of my card is Thick Whisper white and then I Embossed

 a piece of whisper white with the Basket Weave EF.

And a piece of DSP from the Gingham Gala to mat my Embossed piece.

 

I used one of the dies in he Wonderful Floral Framelit set and die cut with Vellum.

I added these to my card next to the flower and by the sentiment piece.

The sentiment comes from the same set and I stamped with Black Memento ink.

I added the floral image and sentiment to my card with dimensionals.

Thanks for coming by today.

SIP.....Harvest of Blessings

Happy Tuesday Peeps!

Today I am sharing a card made using the challenge this week at Stamps, Ink, Paper Challenge Blog.

I know the challenge says Trick or Treat, but that big ol pumpkin sent my thoughts in another direction. 

I decided to make a pumpkin with my oval dies. I die cut three ovals using some Tangelo Twist card stock. I embossed using the basket weave embossing folder and then sponged the edges with some pumpkin pie ink.

I die cut the swirls and leaves using a MFT die with Crumb Cake cardstock, I sponged it with a bit of chocolate chip ink.

I layered up my pumpkin and and hand cut a little stem. I cut apart my swirls and tucked them under he middle layer of the pumpkin and then set it aside to make the rest of the card.

The base of the card is thick whisper white card stock and the DSP is from the retired Motley Monsters paper pack and from the Wood Textures pack.

The sentiment comes from MFT's Harvest Mouse.

I finished it up by adding a small twine bow to the pumpkin. 

Thanks for stopping by today!

SIP........Happy Birthday

Hello Peeps!!!

The challenge this week at Stamps, Ink, Paper is a flower challenge:

How could I resist?

I had this flower from the Rose Wonder set colored up earlier this week but had not made it into a card. I pulled it out to use for this challenge, I used the new in color Peekaboo Peach along wth some Cajun Craze and Whisper White Craft ink to color my flower. I love the chalk effect that the craft ink brings to the look when appled with my aqua painter.  I also worked in a bit of Daffodil Delight.

I fussy cut out the flower and then die cut a couple of leaves with the matching dies to use.

My base s Sahara Sand and then a layer of White and another layer of Sahara.

I used a bit of DSP from the Go Wild pad and a pretty doily to showcase my rose.

The sentiment is from the Cottage Greetings stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happiest of Birthdays to You

Happy Thursday Peeps!

Today I am sharing a card I made with a few challenges.

First up I used the sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches. 

I also used the color challenge this week at Stamp Ink Paper Challenge.

The base of my card is Chocolate Chip card stock and then I used a strip of DSP from the Neutrals paper pad.  I followed that up with a piece of thick white card stock.

You know how the swirl of twine, jute or thread behind the elements on a card is trendy right now? I love the look but have not been very successful at getting my attempts to look right. It came to me when looking at the new Swirly Bird stamp set, that I could die cut a swirl and lay it down to sort of mimic that look.  Much easier for me anyway and I like the look.

I die cut the large swirl in the die set using Pool Party card stock and glued it down to the center of my thick white card stock.

I used the Botanical die set for my flowers, I used Calypso Coral, Pool Party and white along with some Mossy Meadow for the leaves.

I embellished the flowers with some rhinestones and some enamel dots from the It's My Party pack.

The sentiment is from the Birthday Blooms stamp set and is stamped using Chocolate Chip ink.

Gonna leave you with another pic of our sweet little Audrey, a collage pic from her 1 month photo session

Thanks for stopping by today!

SIP One Element......Heartfelt Sympathy

Hello Peeps!

Today I sharing a card I made using the challenge this week at Stamp Ink Paper.

This was a fun challenge, a One element Wonder. I pulled out my neglected You've Got this Stamp set from Stampin Up and paired it with one of the new in colors.

I stamped the flower with Black Stazon onto some thick white card stock and colored with my aqua painter using the Peekaboo Peach ink pad. I used some daffodil Delight for the center and Old Olive for the leaves and stems. I used my Clear Wink of Stella Pen to add some shimmer to the flower, I love the look you get with this pen, it does not show in the pic, but is really nice in person.

I stamped the BG image from the same set using Soft Sky ink.

I fussy cut the flower and added it to the panel with dimensionals. 

The sentiment is from a retired Stampin Up set called Close As A Memory.

I matted this panel with a piece of Peekaboo Peach Card stock. 

All of the new in colors are awesome and I can not choose a fave.

I finished it up with three small rhinestones.

Thanks for stopping by today!!

Happy Birthday

Happy Friday peeps!

Yesterday evening I took a few minutes to make this card, I used the sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches:

and I also took a peek at the challenge this week at Stamp Paper Ink Challenge Blog, which was a fun tic-tac-toe challenge:

I went with the flowers, Birthday and Black, hope I have enough black on my card.

I pulled out a color I seldom use, Sahara Sand for the base and inner layer.

I paired this up with some Elegant Eggplant and Daffodil Delight flowers made with the Stampin Up Botanical Builder thinlits, I am loving these thinlits, you all know that flowers are my thing and these dies make some really pretty flowers and leaves.

The sentiment is a Lawn Fawn die.

I have to share another beautiful picture of baby Audrey:
