Paris, Paris

2012-01-23T13:30:00.000-08:00

I had to make two cards that were both Paris themed for my Inkyfunstampers and Stampers Corner Yahoo groups. I made them very similar with just a few mods.

CARD #1:
CARD #2:

All supplies are Stampin Up! unless noted.

Stamps: Paris in Spring, French Script Background, Print Pattern Background

Cardstock: Basic Gray, Basic Black, Regal Rose, Melon Mambo
Ink: Basic Black, Pretty in Pink

Skiing Cat

2012-01-13T15:07:00.000-08:00

As I post this card, it is 75 degrees outside but since this is how I image winter is like in most of the country, this is my Happy Winter card for today. This is the card that I going to send for my Glitter Girls and Guys Yahoo Group Card of the Month. The main image is from Cat's Pajamas. The sentiment is from DRS Designs (I think!). For the small amount of coloring that I did, I used gel pens. The sentiment was stamped with Brilliance Pearlescent Sky Blue.

Crafty Gals January Challenge

2012-01-05T14:44:00.000-08:00

This month, Heather posted the following January challenge "As mentioned, I am expecting my first baby at the end of February. We're pretty excited to celebrate this new addition and new stage in our lives. My challenge to you for the Crafty Girls January challenge is to celebrate NEWNESS ....it doesn't have to be a new baby...perhaps it's a New Year, new marriage, new job, new friend, etc. In addition, use the opportunity to try a out a new technique (or template, something you haven't tried before).

I decided to use one of my newest Hero Arts/Operation Write Home stamp sets. I used the "All The Time" set. I love to use clocks, so I was excited to get this set.

I used SU! Not Quite Navy for the card base. I mounted the DSP (SU! Letters from Santa) on Chocolate Chip card stock. I took another piece of Chocolate Chip card stock and used the scalloped punch. I stamped the clock image onto a piece of Crumb Cake card stock with Not Quite Navy and cut it out and mounted it with Stampin Dimensionals.

Happy Birthday Horses

2011-12-22T18:44:00.000-08:00

This is a belated Birthday card I made for my father. His birthday was in November but I just hand delivered it to him this morning. I'm not sure of the source of the image but I love those galloping horses. I used SU! Crumb Cake (I still have to stop myself from typing Kraft!) for the card base. I embossed at piece of Cajun Craze cs with the SU! Houndstooth embossing folder and mounted that to the card base. I added a piece of Chocolate Chip strip to the Cajun Craze layer. I stamped the image and sentiment on a piece of Crumb Cake with Chocolate Chip ink and mounted it a Chocolate Chip piece. I used my new Corner Chomper on the image and Chocolate Chip layer and added three brads.

Crafty Gals December Challenge

2011-12-06T13:03:00.000-08:00

The Crafty Gals Blog Group's December Challenge is the THE POWER OF THREE! We were required to make a holiday card keeping the number 3 in mind. Everything on the card had to be in 3's. 3 layers (card base does NOT count as a layer), 3 stamped images (or an image with 3 things on it), 3 embellishments (3 buttons, 3 ribbons etc. or 1 ribbon, 1 pearl, and 1 brad etc).

I used my favorite Stampin Up! set, Lovely as a Tree, again. I stamped it in Chocolate Chip ink on Very Vanilla cardstock and then cut the image into 3 pieces. I then mounted the images on to pieces to Chocolate Chip cardstock and then mounted those pieces to an embossed piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock making up my three layers excluding the Crumb Cake based that I used. I finished the card by adding three brads in the bottom corner.

Gold Embossed Lovely as a Tree

2011-11-29T00:59:00.000-08:00

This is a quick card I made for one of my daughter's friends for her birthday. I cased this from a card my mother made a few years ago and she may have cased it from someone else, so that is my official disclaimer.

I used glitter embossing powder from Creations Unlimited, the Lovely as a Tree stamp set and Whisper White and Brushed card stock from Stampin Up.

Upsy Daisy Gell Well Soon

2011-11-10T11:13:00.000-08:00

I made a get well card for the Topic of the Month (TOTM) swap on the Glitter Gals and Guys Yahoo Group. The requirement was to make a get well card using blue and a touch of silver. I used the same layout and stamp set as my last post so that's why they look so similar.

Stamps: SU Upsy Daisy, Sincere Salutations

Cardstock: Marina Mist, Night of Navy, Whisper White, Silver

Ink: Marina Mist, Night of Navy

Hope You Can Cling To 2011 - Give 'Em A Squeeze

2011-10-19T15:20:00.000-07:00

I made this card for today's Splitcoastampers Hope You Can Cling Challenge (HYCCT1119) and I used the latest sketch from today's Splitcoastampers Sketch Challenge (SC355). I used the Stampin Up set, Upsy Daisy, and lots of pink paper. The challenge was to use dry embossing on the card.

For the entire month of October, Splitcoaststampers is hosting at least one challenge each day. Most of the cards made for these challenges will be donated to the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas to be used by visitors for the patients. This is the first card I have been able to make so far, but I plan to catch up before the end of the month.

Cardstock: Melon Mambo, Rose Red, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla

I gold embossed the sentiment (Bells and Boughs set) on a oval punched (Marvy punches) piece of Cherry Cobbler and then layered that onto a oval scallop punched piece of Soft Suede. I then used a gold Krylon pen on the edges of the scalloped oval. I meant to add a piece of Very Vanilla satin ribbon but I had adhered the pieces done before I remembered. Oh well. Maybe next time. My sister's birthday is Saturday, so I will be posting her card tomorrow.

2010-12-06T23:48:00.000-08:00

I have finally made a new card to add to my blog. It is a card I made for a monthly Demo swap on Splitcoaststampers. It's a little late. It was due in July. Yikes.

The picture has some glare, so I will try to take a better picture later and repost it.

This is the first card I made with my Sweet Scoops set from the Summer Mini. The card base is made with Marina Mist. I stamped the sentiment on the Whisper White panel and then used the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder in my Big Shot. I used the Scallop Trim Border on the Cherry Cobbler layer. For the ice cream cones, I stamped the cones in Early Espresso, stamped off once. I stamped one each of the ice cream tops in Certainly Celery, Pumpkin Pie and Regal Rose, cut them out and adhered them with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed the card and the rest of the blog hop. Please visit http://kimme-thelifeofaprincess.blogspot.com/2010/05/red-white-and-blue-thinking-of-you.html for the next stop on the tour.

VC Rocks 2010 Blog Hop 1

2010-05-15T04:59:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the next stop on the first VC Rocks Blog Hop. Hopefully you arrived here from http://www.scrappin-for-sanity.blogspot.com/. If not, you can go to the beginning of the tour at http://www.vcrocks.blogspot.com/ .

The theme for the first VC Rocks Blog Hop is retiring Stampin Up! colors or Summer Mini. I decided to use two of my favorite retiring colors, Cameo Coral and Ruby Red along with Handsome Hunter. I started with the Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge SC280 but removed one of the layers. I used the Upsy Daisy and Friends 24-7 stamp sets, the Polka Dots embossing folder and Cameo Coral and Ruby Red ink. I hope you enjoy this card and the entire tour.

As I was uploading this card, we had an earthquake here in Los Angeles. Hopefully everyone is okay.

Thanks for stopping by. Now please hop on over to http://www.stampwithjane.com/ for the next stop on the tour.

Since summer is finally here, I thought beachabella would be perfect for the hop. For my card I used Splitcoast Sketch Challenge SC232 and Stampin Up! Baja Breeze and Pacific Point cardstock and Pacific Point Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is from Rubbernecker. I colored her in with Prisma Premier pencils and blended with baby oil.

I hope you enjoy the hop. In addition to the fabulous eye candy, we have decided to hide a prize somewhere along the hop! One pre-selected blogger will draw a random winner from the comments on her post, and the winner will receive a $40 Gift Voucher to Stamping Bella!!! The fun part is...we're not telling you who it is! So as you hop, make sure you leave comments on every post so you have a chance to win!! We will announce the winner on Monday in the Splitcoast forum. MWAH!
