SFYTT Thank You

Good Tuesday Morning Peeps!

Today's card is made for the sketch for you to try.

I sure had trouble with this one! I am not real thrilled with it still. My picture is a bit off too. Wow, maybe I shouldn't even post it...LOL!!!

This is made with all retiring stuff from SU. The base is pink piourette and layered with riding hood red and the DS paper is Bella Rose. The flower and sentiment all come from the Bella Flower set.

I stamped the small flower twice onto scrap paper and cut it out and added a bunch of crystal effects. The rest is pretty self explantory so if you have any questions just let me know.

Thanks so much for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!

Sweet-Heart

Good Monday Morning Peeps! Hope you all had a great weekend!

Today's card is made for the Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

I used some of the new in-colors for this card and paired it up with a favorite old set of mine, Happy Harmony. The sentiment is from the Small Sayings set. The base is Rich Razzleberry followed with whisper white and then Melon Mambo and then some of the yummy Razzleberry Lemonade DS paper. I cut the circle and the scallop circle with my nesties and cuttlebug. I inked up the flower heads of the stamp with Melon Mambo and then used a old olive marker to color in the stems. I used some rich razzleberry ink from my ink pad and my aqua painter to add a bit of darker color onto the flowers.

The two strips across the card are melon mambo and one is ran through the cuttlebug with a embossing strip and I punched the end of both the sentiment strip and two melon strips with my photo corner punch to make the ends.

Well, that is all for now, Thanks so much for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!

Upside Down Kind & Caring Thoughts

Good Sunday Morning Peeps. I don't usually post on Sunday but I was super excited about this card, I couldn't wait!!!

I had the idea a couple of days ago when playing with the new Level 3 hostess set, Kind & Caring Thoughts. I thought the flower if turned up-side down would look like fireworks! I think it really does!

I used shimmer white cardstock and masked off the stem and inked the flower up with real red ink and night of navy ink and stamped them. I used a sentiment from A Little Birdie Told Me.

I added some dazzling diamonds glitter to the "fireworks" with my quickie glue pen. The base of the card is Night of Navy followed by white and then real red. I used Classic Stars wheel, for the BG on the real red cardstock, rolled it with real red ink. The night of navy strip is punched on the end with a square punch on an angle and pierced with my piercing tool and mat pack. I added a strip of night of navy punched with the lace edge punch to the bottom of the main image panel that is up on pop dots. I finished off with three white brads in the top left corner and it is done, no ribbon and no DS paper!!!!!

Well, that is all for today, thanks for coming by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!

Wild About You!

TGIF Peeps!!!! Hope you are having a fabulous week and looking forward to a fun weekend!!! It has been sooo HOT here in southwest Missouri, I have been doing nothing but hibernating inside! I am getting out today, my friend Lois is picking me up and we are heading into town and then to her house for some FUN and some stamping!!!

Today's card is another sneak peek of new in colors, DS paper and stamps! I used the sketch on the Stamps and Smiles Fresh Batch Blog.

I started my card with a base of crushed curry cardstock. The card is a 5 inch square. I followed with a layer of old olive and then some of the fun Tall Tales DS paper. The next layer is old olive and then more tall tales paper, the next is crushed curry and more tall tales DS paper. I used old olive grosgrain ribbon. The giraffe is stampe onto whisper white with crushed curry. I used my really rust marker to color in the tail and mane. I used my coluzzle and nesties to cut the oval and oval scallops. I added silver brads matted with a 3/4 inch circle. The sentiment comes from the Wild about You set and is stamped with dusty durango and stamped onto whisper white and punched out with the word window punch.

Well, that is it for now, thanks so much for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!

......And it is all Good

Good Thursday Morning Peeps!!

Today I am sharing some more of the new in-colors and stamp sets! I used this weeks
sketch challenge on Splitcoast.

I started my card with a base of Melon Mambo. I Used the Razzleberry Lemonade DS paper, every layer is mated with basic black except the top layer and I used Crushed Curry on it. The stamp set is a level 3 hostess set called Kind & Caring Thoughts. I really love this set, the sentiments and font are excellent!

The ink colors are melon mambo and crushed curry. I used the new modern label punch along with the word window for the layers of my sentiment. The buttons are from my stash and my friend Lois' stash too.

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

"Thanks So Much" for new stuff!

Happy Hump Day Peeps!!! Hope you are ready for some more new stuff!! I have to say, I have heard some demos say they are not fond of the new in colors, but I just love them! I always think I will have a hard time letting go of the "old" in colors and every year when the new ones come out and we get our first glimpse I think WHAT??? I don't think I would want to give up Baja Breeze or Riding hood red, but then the Razzleberry and Melon Mambo are so fabulous!

Today I am using Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge and some more new stuff! I am using the new in colors Soft Suede and Crushed Curry. Again no ribbon, so I created a "ribbon look" with the paper. The stamp set used is also a new sneak peek set, "Autumn Days" and the sentiment is from the new Level 3 Hostess set "Kind & Caring Thoughts".

Well, that is all for today Thanks so much for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!!

NEW STUFF!!!

Good Tuesday Morning Peeps! I am super excited to show you some sneak peeks from the upcoming cattie!! I finally got some of my new stuff, I did have to limit what I got somewhat, I am still unemployed and still waiting on my first un-employment benefits to kick in, so I did not get the new ribbon, yet. That will be the next order.

I am still thrilled with this card. The stamp set is a Level 3 hostess called Kind & Caring Thoughts. I did use a retiring set for the sentiment, Bella Blossom. The new in colors are really pretty, love the rich colors!!!

This card is made with Rich Razzleberry and the Razzleberry Lemonade DS paper. It is just gorgeous, I am stepping out on a limb and saying this rich razzleberry is my favorite, so far. Well, it will be until my next card with another in color....LOL!!!!!

The flower is stamped with rich razzleberry, melon mambo and pumpkin pie. This is a Verve Sketch.

Well, thanks so much for stopping by today and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!
