Simply Sketched - sneak peek

Hi Stampin' Friends

Hope you are enjoying your weekend.  For me, it's so nice to be home and relaxing.  It was a whirlwind 2 1/2 weeks in California and I am enjoying the peace and quiet back home.

Today's card features the Hostess Stamp Set called Simply Sketched.  I'm also using the new Ginger Garden Designer Series Paper for the background.

I love the blue and yellow combination - it just screams Spring!  

The ladies will be making this card at the Big Shot class on Wednesday, 29 May 2013.  I have one opening left if you live in the Bella Vista, AR area and would like to attend.  Just let me know and I'll send you all the information.

They will learn how to make the roses shown on the card using a die cut (non-SU).  I was going to add a ruffled bow right under the roses on the left but I didn't want to make it too complicated or difficult because two of the ladies are beginners and I would not want to scare them away (LOL). 

The sentiment is from the hostess stamp set, Simply Sketched, and is available with a qualifying order.  Though it is not very clear in the picture, I put the bottom strip of DSP through the Big Shot using the Delicate Designs Embossing Folder and then die cut using the Large Scallops Edgelits Die. 

 

If you need any supplies, please visit my Stampin' Store for 24/7 service - I would love to be your demonstrator!  You can also e-mail me at [email protected] or call me at (479) 876-7453 and I'll place the order for you.

Thanks for Stopping by today!

Happy Birthday to my best friend Becky

Hi Stampin' Friends

It seems like such a long time since I've posted a card!  I made this card for my best friend Becky but couldn't share it before I gave it to her.

The card show cases the Artisan Embellishments Kit which did not make it into the new catalog.  I will have to stock up on this kit because I love using it for my cards.  The leaves are the the Bird Punch.

The top layered was embossed using the Simply Scored Diaganol Plate #125586.  The embossed image above the Happy Birthday is from the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder which is retiring this month (whaaaaaaa).

• Online Retirement List Party (ends 7 May 2013)
• Free Card Kit tutorial (Ombre Technique) (ends 15 May 2013)
• Internet Hostess Club #2 now forming (when filled)

I had so much fun making this card - felt like a little girl playing with paper dolls!  I used the Dressed Up Framelits die to die cut the dress using the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper.  The polka dot dress reminds me if the 1950's - I remember having a polka dot dress but it was navy blue with white polka dots.

The inspiration for this card came from Pinterest.  I love that site, I could get lost and lose so many hours surfing that site!

The button and ribbon is part of Sale-a-bration's Sycamore Street's Ribbon Pack and the sentiment is from the Petite Pairs Clear Mount Stamp Set.  The base card is Calypso Coral Card Stock - did you know this color is retiring?  I use this color a lot when I use the Tea for Two DSP but they are both going away this May so grab the colors before they are gone!

The ladies at my Big Shot class scheduled for Monday, 29 April 2013 will be making this card the card found here.

I made a mistake when I put this card together.  Can you guess what it is?  I didn't even notice it until I took the picture and was adding it to this blog.  Oh well!

Amazing Sister

Hi Stampin' Friends

Frequency Buyers Rewards

Hostess Club #2 now forming

I have such an amazing sister!  She has alwas been there for me throughout the years and I love her dearly.  Today's card is for her - or for her birthday!

I used the Amazing Family Clear Mount Stamp Set and the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper.  I love the vintage look of the stamp set.

I'm not sure which version I like the best.  With the pearls or without the pearls?  I'm not sure about the pearls - they look like a bird's egg on a nest.   Let me know which one you like.

 The flowers are from the 5/8" Flower Trim and were dyed using the Calypso Coral Reinker.  The leaves are from the Bird Punch.

 The base card (Calypso Coral Card Stock) was embossed using the Fancy Fan Embossing Folder.  The sentiment was stamped with Calypso Coral Classic Ink on Very Vanilla Card Stock.  It was then spritzed with the Calypso Coral Stampin' Write Marker and the Color Spritzer Tool for an airbrush look.  This tool is a must for your creative tool belt!

Note:

I received my old fashion vintage clothespins and will be sending out them out to  my online orders - thanks ladies!

70th Birthday Invite

Hi Stampin' Friends

I wanted to share the birthday card I've been working on for my birthday in May.  It was done using My Digital Studio.  The roses are colored in using Baja Breeze and the color tool.  The lettering is Early Espresso.  The background is Kraft Script Designer Series Paper.  I could not find the # for it so it may have come as part of the original package or in one of the updates.

Here's the inside showing different pictures through the years.  I don't have any of my childhood because they were lost in one of our moves.

I love using My Digital Studio.  Did you know that you can still get the FREE trial MDS for 30 days or buy it at the reduced price of $19.95?  There is so much information on the My Digital Studio website that will help you in learning to use it.  Currently there are over 254 video's on how to use the software, a discussion forum for any questions you may have and over 21,000 samples in case you need inspiration.  Of course, I'm here to help and will answer any questions you may have on how to use the MDS.

Blooming with Kindness

 Hi Stampin' Friends

The stunning Blooming with Kindness six-piece stamp set gives you plenty of options for sending your best regards. Includes expressions of support, gratitude, and even birthday wishes. Or use the floral image as a breathtaking focal point for your next scrapbook page!

This card is for my cousin whose birthday is in April - I am way ahead of the game in this case!  Usually I'm making them at the last minute (LOL).

I colored in the flower image using Calypso Coral and Lucky Limeade Stampin' Write Markers.  I then lightly spritzed it with water to give it a soft look.   If you look closely you can see where it's darker in some places and lightly in other places.  That's from the spritizing.

The background was embossed using the Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder from the Holiday Catalog and it's still available.  The pattern paper is the First Edition Specialty Design Series Paper and  which was punched on the left edge of the DSP with the Eyelet Border Punch (retired).   The gorgeous, gorgeous lace is from the Artisan Embellishments Kit from the Spring Catalog.  Did I say it was gorgeous?

I recently learned that it's easier to attach the lace if you use Sticky Strip.  I was using Tombo Multi-purpose Glue and it would go all over the place (too messy) though I do use it to adhere the card stock together.  But the Sticky Strip is so much better for the lace!

If you need any supplies to make this card, please visit my Stampin' Store for 24/7 service.  Or you can send me your wish list and I'll be more than happy to place the order for you.

Feeling Sentimental

Hi Stampin' Friends

The Feeling Sentimental Clear Mount Stamp Set is one of my favorite sets from the Sale-a-bration Catalog.   I love the vintage look of this set.  

I cased this from a card I found on Pinterest but I can't remember whose it was and it didn't have a watermark on it.  I changed a couple of items to make it my own, i.e., different embossing folder, etc. The ladies made this card at stamp camp today and they really liked the color combination (Midnight Muse and Crumb Cake).

Since it's such a simple card that I won't go into details on how to make this card.

These are the cards the ladies made at stamp camp today.  I thought I would attached the supply list for each card in case you wanted to make any of them.

Elegant Butterfly

Hi Stampin' Friends

I saw this technique on Pinterest (love that Pinterest!)  I'll have a video showing how to do the double embossing sometime next week because  I have a head cold and you don't want to hear my voice right now (LOL).

The Very Vanilla Card Stock was embossed using the Perfect Polka Dots and the Designer Frames Embossing Folders.  That was layered onto Floral District Designer Series Paper.  The butterfly is also from the same DSP and was punched out using the Elegant Butterfly Punch.

The sentiment is from the Bring on the Cake Stamp Brush Set and was printed out on Very Vanilla Card Stock and then die cut using the Bitty Banners Framelits.

The base card is Rose Red Card Stock.

Happy Birthday David

Hi Stampin' Friends It seems that for the first couple of months each year, I'm making birthday cards almost every day!  Today's card is for my hubby David.

I wanted to make a card that showed moonlight sailing.  I tried using the Sail Away stamp but I couldn't get it to come out right and you don't want to see my mistakes!  So I decided to do a search in google for an image that I could use.

When David and I lived in California we used to go moonlight sailing and it was so beautiful being out on the water with the moon shining on the ocean.   It was amazing how much you see out there!

The base card is Not Quite Navy which was embossed using the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  The image was layered with Whisper White Card Stock, then Basic Black Card Stock.  The sentiment was printed out using My Digital Studio.

Happy Birthday BJ

Hi Stampin' Friends

Today's card is for my nephew Bobby John.  His birthday is the 1st week in March but since I'll be on a cruise, I thought I'd make it early and get it in the mail before I leave.

I cased this card from Nancy Riley and I love it for its simpicity.  All the squares are retired designer series paper but it is still available on the Clearance Rack.  Since it's such a quick and simple card, I won't include any directions but I will tell you I used the 1 1/4" square punch for the squares.

I'll have some blog candy while I am gone so stay tune for the details!  I also put out a special via my newsletter that's good during my cruise.  And I will send out a reminder right before I leave so if you are not on my newsletter list, please subscribe now (upper left hand).  You don't want to miss this special!

The Open Sea - Masculine Monday

Hi Stampin' Friends

Hope you had a wonderful weekend.  My husband is off skiing so I'm enjoying a couple of days by myself!

This card is for my son-in-law Gary who lives out in California.  He has a beautiful view of the ocean from his house so I thought using the Open Sea Stamp Brush Set on his card would be perfect!

The image was printed on Very Vanilla Card Stock using the My Digital Studio.  I colored in the sea in Island Indigo using the coloring tool in MDS2.  The background DSP is the Fan Fair Designer Series Paper and I love the sheet with the world atlas in muted colors.  The base card is Island Indigo Card Stock.

Beautiful Birthday

Hi Stampin' Friends

This is the perfect card for an old friend from work.  I haven't seen her in several years but we do keep in touch through birthday cards and Christmas cards.

I'm not sure what the technique is called but I brayered Crumb Cake Classic Ink directly on the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder and then embossed it on Very Vanilla Card Stock.  

The rose is part of the stash I found when we moved last year.  The ribbon is the Very Vanilla 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon.  Love it because of it's silky feeling and that you can manipulate it with the Heat Tool to give it a scrunchy look.

The leaf is from a Non-SU framelits that was also embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder.

She's All That

Hi Stampin' Friends

I love to play with My Digital Studio.  Today's card is using the She's All That Stamp Brush Set.

I printed out the image on Tea for Two Designer Series Paper and then use our new Ovals Collection Framelits Dies from the Spring Catalog to die cut it.  It was layered onto So Saffron Card Stock which was embossed with the Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder and then die cut with the Ovals Collection Framelits Dies.

The flower is from the Flower Trim from the Spring Catalog.   I colored it using the So Saffron Stampin' Write Marker.   I love how you can color the flowers any color you like.  I'm going to buy several packages because I can see me using them for a long, long time!

The pearls were colored in using a yellow sharpie.

Beautiful Birthday and blog candy winner

Hi Stampin' Friends

Today's cards features the single stamp called Beautiful Birthday.  Sometimes all you need is a sweet and simple birthday stamp--and this is it! Use it to make cards in advance--so you're always ready with handmade birthday greetings for those you love.

I used the Mojo Monday sketch for this card and it was so much easier using a premade sketch than to try and figure out what looks good.   Do you know of any other blogs that have sketches?

The background paper is from the Spring Catalog and is called Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack.  I used one of the flowers from the 5/8" Flower Trim.  This is quickly becoming one of my favorite accessories - love the dimensional flowers.

The leaves are from the Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack and were punched out using the Bird Punch.

BLOG CANDY WINNER:

Random.org selected the following winner for an accessory from the Spring Catalog:

White ([email protected]) has left you a comment:

That is hard to just pick one. I love the lace tape but I am seeing lots of DP that is pretty awesome also. The secret garden bundle looks neat too.

Linda - please send me your address and I'll get the lace tape out to you.

Thanks to everyone who submitted comments.  I also found it hard to select one because so many fit my style of stamping.  I have to absolutely say that this is my favorite catalog ever!

Autumn Field Flowers

Hi Stampin' Friends

I saw a beautiful card on Lee Conroy's blog using the Field Flowers Stamp Set in the colors More Mustard and Cajun Craze.  I made my own version of the flowers and I love the way they came out.  It would be the perfect birthday card for someone whose birthday falls during the months of September, October or November.

Sassy Salutations

Hi Stampin' Friends

Hope you are enjoying your fall weekend!  I love driving down the road and seeing what tree leaves have turned - love, love the beautiful colors of fall.

Speaking of fall this card was made using the Orchard Harvest Designer Fabric.  I brought out the mini Janome sewing machine and sewed the fabric and burlap to a layer of Island Indigo Card Stock.

The edges were frayed using the Paper Piercing Tool.  The sentiment is from Sassy Salutations Stamp Brush Set and printed out in Island Indigo on Crumb Cake Card Stock using the MDS2.

Chevrons

Hi Stampin' Friends

Chevrons are popular and showing up all the time on layouts, cards and projects.  Though it isn't my style, I decided to make a masculine using chevrons.

It was another good way to use the International Bazzar Designer Series Paper.  I used the Tasteful Trim Bigz Die and Big Shot to die cut the strips.

Masculine Monday

Hi Stampin' Friends

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!  The Hogs lost yesterday so things were a little down around here.  For my husband, not me!  He's a Hog fan and alumni and he takes his sports seriously!

Today's card was made using Timeless Stamp Brush Set, The Open Sea Stamp Brush Set (for the background) and MDS2.  It's for my best friend's husband, Bob who will be turning 71.  I can't believe I've known him since 1957!

I won't go into details on how I made this card since it is so simple and I don't think directions are necessary.  The only non-SU item is the black embroidery thread.
