Whiff of Joy card

Hello,
For today's post I have a card using I miss you Gnome stamp. I've never used this company before.  Allthatscraps.com was having a sale on them so I decided to check them out. I gotta say they're super cute. I picked up two images and I wish I would of gotten more of them.

My card:

For the card base I used The Paper Company Kraft cardstock. Cut at 5 1/2 x11. Scored in half to make a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 square card.  Stamped Cosmo Cricket/Unit Stamp Comp. row of mushroom houses from Pixie-Licious Fairies Stamp set stamped with Stampin' Up!'s Bermuda Bay ink. Stamped the Whiff of Joy stamp on Cryogen White cardstock and colored it in with my Copics. For his little hat I used a scrap piece of cardstock from Cosmo Crickets Material Girl 6x6 Mini Deck. Popped the hat up with some foam dots and also the house.  For the heart bubble I used Quickutz Speech Bubble 2x2 die stamped with a sentiment from Unity Stamp Co. Lollipop Tree You and Me stamp set. The clouds were punched using the same scrap paper from Cosmo Cricket using Fiskars Medium and Large Cloud punch.

Market Street Stamps Card

Hello,
Today's card featured a couple of stamps from Market Street Stamps. I made this card for the current guest designing challenge they have going on. It actually closes in 40 minutes so I'm really pushing it this time.

My card:

For the card base I used Kraft cardstock from The Paper Studio. Stamped Market Street Stamps Hearts a Plenty background stamp with Stampin' Up! Bermuda Bay ink.  Punched two hearts with Stampin' Up!'s Full Heart Punch using a pattern paper from Cosmo Cricket's Material Girl 6x6 Mini Deck. On the top heart I attached a button with some embroidery thread threaded through it and on the second heart I have a sentiment from Market Street Stamps Computer Cutie stamped on some Recollections Cream Cardstock. I took a square punch to create the banner edge on it and attached it with some foam dots. All my edges were distressed with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. 

That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by:

Lawnscaping Challenge #21

Hello,
I created this card for the current challenge over at Lawscaping challenge blog. The theme is Thank You. I was late with this and missed the deadline but I still wanted to share it with you guys.

My card:

My mom is hosting Thanksgiving this year and I needed to make a card and this is what I came up with. The idea of this card was for it to look like a door with a wreath hanging on the front of it.  Kinda came across. I feel like something is missing but I just can't put my finger on it.  For the card base I used The Paper Company Kraft cardstock. For the pattern paper I used Studio Calico's Wild Flower from the Countryside collection. I cut the card layer the same dimension as the card base and then cut 4 rectangles smaller to make them look like the panel popped up with pop dots. Added a Tim Holtz Hitch Fastener to make it look like it was the door knob. For the wreath I stamped the Turkey from Turkey Days Lawn Fawn Stamp on Copic Xpress Blending Card. Colored in with my Copic Sketch markers. Distressed over top of it with Vintage Photo distress ink and cut it out with Spellbinders Nestabilities Standard Circles LG. For the wreath I used two different Nestabilities set. Classic Inverted Scalloped LG and Beaded Circles cut out of Studio Calico's Atmosphere pattern paper from the Elementary Collection.  Attached some hemp twine so that it looked like it was hanging by the top of the door. The banner at the bottom was created using Papertrey Ink's Double-Ended Banners, two white prima leaves colored with my copics, a button created with Epiphany Craft's 14mm Button Studio Tool Round and a custom sentiments using Lawn Fawn's Harold's ABC stamp set stamped with Jenni Bowlin's Chili Powder ink.

Taylored Expressions Blog Hop

Hello and Welcome to this months Taylored Expressions Blog Hop.  If you came from Tangii's blog then you're in the right order.  This month's theme is Thankful and we were to use a stamp set released before Sept 2011. A sketch was also provided if we wanted to use it.


I did use about 50% of the sketch. I found that with the pattern paper I chose it became too busy so I had to subtract a few things.

My card:

For this card I used It's in the bag stamp set and Shopping Bag and Labels Die Set along with Graphic 45's Le' Romantique 8x8 Paper Pad. My card base is cut out of The Paper Company's Kraft cardstock. The top layer pattern paper was cut at 4x2 and the bottom layer was cut at 3x4. Sewed around the edges before gluing them down to the card base so that the stitching would not show in the inside of the card.  All my edges were distressed with Vintage Photo distress ink.  Next I cut a scallop circle using Spellbinder's Classic Scalloped Circles LG and a circle using Standard Circle LG. Wrapped a piece of lace around the circle and attached it to the scallop circle. Then I tied a bow around the lace using some hemp twine.  For the tiny bag I cut it out of kraft cardstock. Stamped the flourish stamp on to pattern paper using Peeled Pain distress ink and then inked over top of it with Vintage Photo distress ink to tone it down. The small label and the sentiment were both stamped on the kraft cardstock with Peeled Paint distress ink.  Attached it off to the side so that I can add a Recollections mini rose. For the tissue paper I stamped the tissue paper stamp and beige tissue paper. I wanted the movement of the stamp stamped but I also wanted the transparency of real tissue paper. I added 3 layers of the tissue paper. Two attached to the front of the bag and one attached to the back of the bag. 


Inside of the little bag is a mini Crunch bar. I covered around the top of it with a scrap piece of the pattern paper and tied it tight with some hemp. I wanted to make sure that if you looked at the card from above you could not see the bright blue wrapper of the candy bar. 

That finished up my card for this hop.


Now please head over to Kelly's blog. Thanks for stopping by and have a great rest of your day.

MFT Wednesday Stamp Club Sketch 45

Hello,
I have another card for this weeks card sketch challenge from MFT. Here is the sketch for this week. To find out more info click HERE.


The front of my card:

I decided to make this a tag/card combo so the recipient could use it as a book mark if they so choose after they read the message. To make the front of my card I cut the tag using Tim Holtz Sizzix Tag & Bookplates die out of The Paper Company Kraft cardstock.  I used MFT's Rain or Shine stamp set. Stamped the clouds from that set at the top of the tag with Frost Versamark. Cut trips of cardstock from Cosmos Crickets 6x6 Mini Deck Delovely and used Quickutz Scallop Edges die set to cut the small and bigger scallops.  Did some zig zag stitching with my machine. Edged the tag with Prima's Chalk Ink in Vintage Pink. Stamped her on Cryogen White cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored the skin, jacket ruffle, boots and the dog with my Copics. Her jacket was paper pieced with the same Cosmo Cricket collection. For the rain puddle I colored it in with my Copics then gave it a light coat of Glossy Accents.  I had forgotten I wanted to add the rain drop stamp as well. So I very carefully inked my stamp and stamped the rain drops with Ice Blue Chalk ink and added Crystal Stickles to the bottom of the rain drops for some shine. For the umbrella I stamped the image on the back of the cardstock so that I could cut it out. I wanted the shape but not the stamped image. Added some foam dots to the back of the umbrella and added it on. 

The back of my card:

I created a pocket by first measuring the size of cardstock needed to cover the back and then using a circle punch to punch half a circle to make the folded card easier to take out. Yeah I'm completely off center. Inked the edges and adhered it using 1/4 inch Scor-Tape on three sides leaving the top free. Out of scrap cardstock cut the little hole finishers. For the ribbon I used seam binding which I colored with coordinating Copic colors using the broad side. Fed them through the hole and tied them together with hemp twine.

The Greeting Farm Card

Hello,
For today's card it features a The Greeting Farm image. Flapper Anya. This was a limited edition stamp released about two years ago.  Love her. One of my favorite movies is Chicago and when I saw this stamp I knew I had to have it. Then mention limited edition and I can't resist. I created this card for the current  TGF challenge over at Splitcoastamers, Customer challenge: Movie Night. We are to use TGF stamps and re create our favorite movie. A no brainer for me. I knew exactly what I was going to do when I saw the challenge.

My card:

To create this card I first cut a standard size card out of Chocolate Linen Texture Cardstock by The Paper Company. Embossed it using Tim Holtz Sizzix Texture Fade Woodgrain. Distressed the edges using Walnut Stain ink.  Stamped the image on Recollections Cream cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored it with Copics. This cardstock is not recommended for coloring with your Copics but I wanted the image to look vintage, stark white would be too bright and I didn't have any Copic quality cream paper on hand so I made do. It sucked up the ink like crazy. To make the hardwood floors I simply made lines going horizontally then vertically to resemble wood floors. Added some sequin trim, a feather, and some pearls around her neck to finish the image.  Cut a layer just slight smaller than my card base with the same cream paper, stamped Stampendous! Music Score wood stamp with Fired Brick Distress ink, cut the oval out using Fiskars Shape Templates Ovals and Ultra Shape Express. Then used Heidi Swap's Edge Distresser around the outside of the layer and in the oval cut out. Distressed using Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain Distress inks. Curled two of my edges in and added the image behind. The title was cut using my Silhouette with LD Candid Font out of some scrap red and black cardstock and added Christmas Red Stickles for some sparkle. To finish off the card I added some Recollection's mini roses, a feather and some more of the sequin trim.

Copic colors:

Studio Calico Challenge Card

For this weeks's challenge we're to dig into our stash and use a stamp that was in main kit or add-on. I have not been a subscriber for that long so I didn't have that much to choose from. I decided to use the stamp from Thimble add-on kit.

My card:

I pretty much used the Thimble kit for the whole card. The card base was created with The Paper Company Kraft cardstock. I stamped the border stamp with Frost Versamark. The pattern paper are scraps from a layout I had just finished. I stamped the small stamp on the back of the pattern paper so that when I cut the stamp out I would get the shape but not the stamped image, if that makes sense.  Added some pearls from the Pin Cushion add-on kit. Tied a bow with some tule and finished it up with the sentiment.

That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by:

MFT card

Hello,
For today I have a card I created using MFT stamps for their weekly sketch. For more info click HERE.

Here is the sketch:

My take of it:


I used MFT's Maid For You stamp set. The card base is cut with The Paper Company's kraft cardstock, found at Joanns, cut at 5x10 scored at 5 inches to make a 5x5 card. The pattern paper is from My Mind's Eye Life Stories A Daily Dose Line collection 2. I colored my image with Prismacolor Pencils, PC 1065 Cool Gray 70%, PC 935 Black, PC924 Crimson Red, PC901 Indigo Blue, PC949 Metallic Silver, PC946 Dark Brown, PC911 and PC938 White. Added Glossy Accents to the TV screen and Cotton Ball White Fun Flock to her skirt ruffle and duster. To make the wood floors I just simple added a line in the middle and lines going up and down with 4 dots to signify the nails. Cut the scallop with some red scrap paper with Quickutz Scallop Edges die. Added some seam binding, a black button and a small red bell to the center of the bow. Stitched around the layers with my sewing machine. For the sentiment I used MFT's Twisted Sentiments stamp set with Versamark embossed with a la mode white embossing powder. Finished with a square black button that reminded me of Santa's buckle. That's all for today.

Unity Stamp Co. Sketch Challenge



This card is created for Unity Stamp Co. Kit of The Month challenge. They provide a sketch and you make a card interpreting it using one of their Kits of the Month stamps. Click here for more info.
I chose Just Be You from Dec. 2010 to complete my card. Stamped the scallop circle with Jenni Bowlin for Ranger Fountain Pen ink on pattern paper from Authentique 6x6 paper pad Blissful. Cut the outside of the scallop with scissors and used one of my Standard Circles Large Nestabilities to cut the middle of the scallop circle and the top later of the card base, I used The Paper Company Kraft cardstock found at Joanns for my base. I have this really old Ellison design die called Tags, Traditional. I cut the large tag with American Crafts Charcoal cardstock. The scallops were cut using Quickutz die Scallop Edges using more of the pattern paper from the same Aunthentique paper pad, stitched around the edges and added a button using Epiphany Crafts Button Studio Tool Hear 20 with some jute twine tied in a bow. For the inside of the card I stamped the bee from the same Unity Kit with Stazon ink in Jet Black and colored it in with Prismacolor pencils in PC915 Lemon Yellow and PC904 Light Cerulean Blue. That finished this card.

Card to share

I've had this idea in my head for such a long time. I was obsessed with it when I saw all these stamps and cricut cartridge. Saved my pennies and I was able to get all the supplies together to make this one card. Yes one card!! I had to make this one card!

Here is the inside of it: I had to color in the image and then figure out the dimensions of the card based on the final size of the image. Honestly I don't even remember what the final dimension of the card is. I though I had it all figured out and then I had to start over cause I was an inch off.  A whole inch.  Math has never been my strong subject.


Breakdown and supplies:
Fist I stamped C.C.Designs Sweet November Lilliane stamp with Memento Dew Drop Tuxedo Black ink. Covered her with a stamped mask made out of Inkadinkado's stamping mask paper.  Used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to help me line up Magnolia's Castle background stamp.  Colored the whole scenery with my Copics and highlighted certain areas with my atyou spica pens all of that done on Cryogen white cardstock. I distressed the edges with Pumice Stone and Vintage Paper distress ink. Cut panels out of Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante 8x8 paper pad to cover the flaps on both sides.  On each panel I took the biggest rose and covered it with Rock Candy Distress Stickles.

Here is the front:


Breakdown and supplies:
I cut two panels out of the B side of the same patterned paper I used for the inside of the card. Used my Cricut Expression and the Ornamental Iron cartridge to cut the two gates out of  DCWV The Metallic Stack.  I used May Arts 1 1/2 inch silk ribbon which I cut in half and then colored with my Copics to match. I attached the ribbon with 1/4 inch Scor tape to the card base all the way around so the ribbon would not fall off when opened.  On the corner I die cut two small gears using Tim Holtz's Sizzix Bigz die Gadget Gears with black mat board and some left overs of the patterned paper, sprayed with Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer mist. Some Recollection's Mini Roses that were toned with Copics to match and sprayed with Dazzling Diamond Glimmer Mist, two white Prima leaves sprayed with Olive Vine Glimmer Mist and some Recollections bling finish off the card.

C.C.Designs card

I love C.C. Designs images. They're super CUTE!  Just received this image the other day and I just had to ink it up and color it in.  LOVE her!


Breakdown and supplies:
The card is cut to a standard size card (4 1/2 x 5 3/4) using Recollections gray cardstock, distressed with Pumice Stone distress ink.  I used Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Four with Cosmo Cricket's Girl Friday and Everafter stack. Distressed the patterned paper with Pumice Stone and Wild Honey distress ink. Stamped C.C.Designs Sweet November Lillian Rubber stamp with Memento Dew Drop in Tuxedo Black on some  Cryogen White cardstock.  Colored her in with Copics (will list the colors at the end) and added some sparkle to her atyou Spica pens. Distressed the die cut with Pumice stone distress ink, on the corner I made my own flourish using a Silhouette America cut file (accent_flourish_C20091125023039_20509 11/10/2009), Tulip heat setting tool and Tulip Glam-It-Up Iron on Crystals.  The clay flowers I purchased at Michaels wedding section colored with Copics to match the colors used through the card. Used my Mini Bow Easy to create the bow using random ribbon from my stash. Random Crystals though the  die cut and on her crown finishes up the card.

My first Papertrey Ink card

I've had about 5 of their sets that I've been afraid to ink up. I think they're just so beautiful. Well I finally got the guts to ink one of the sets and make a card. For this card I used Everyday Button Bits. This set was specifically designed for you to use buttons. Love it!! On the website you'll see that there is some gray shading well that part does not stamp. That's where the buttons go. Fantastic HUH?
Here is my card:

Breakdown and supplies:
First I made a standard size card with Papertrey ink's Stamper's select white cardstock. Stamped Hero Art's Cloud Background stamp with Hero Art's Shadow ink in Soft Pool. Took my Papertrey ink set and cut the hot air balloons apart.  All three came together but I wanted them spread out through the card.  Stamped them with Memento Dew Drop in Tuxedo Black. I tied black embroidery floss to random buttons from my collection to fit the size of the hot air balloon.  I attached them either using Zots or Glossy Accents. For the banner die cut I used Papertrey ink's Double-Ended Banners die set and then stamped one of the banners from Papertrey ink's Banner Builder Set, inside I used the sentiment "Soaring by to say hi" from the Everyday button bits set all on Papertrey ink's Stamper's select white cardstock. Inked the edges of the banner with Hero Arts Shadow ink in Soft Pool and to finish the card I rounded the bottom two edges with We R Memory Keepers' round Corner Chomper.

That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by:

Unity card

Hello Everyone,
I have a card to share with you today. This features two stamps from Unity Stamp Company KOM Nov. 2010 Picture Perfect. I'm a new recent subscriber to their monthly kits and I love them.  This kit is what got me hooked. Once I saw this couch and frame collage I knew I had to have it.  

Breakdown and supplies:
First I cut the piece of pattern paper from October Afternoon's The Thrift Shop called Needs Paint. Stamped the frames from the Unity kit with ColorBox's Chestnut Roan Chalk ink. Added some small Prima flowers and pearls from Imaginisce Glam Rocks Pearls attached with my Tulip Heat setting tool. The small birds were images I had seen on the web and asked this company, Imagine Stamps, to make them for me out of clear stamps. Then took the back side of the patterned paper and used Fiskars Apron Lace Border punch to add a decorative edge. Wrapped some white May Arts Silk ribbon distressed with Vintage Photo Distressing Ink. Some Prima flowers, a custom made pin using a Heidi Grace pin from the Woodland collection and some embroidery floss. I stamped the couch using the back side of the patterned paper and cut it out.  Popped it up using pop dots.  It all got attached to a standard size card using Recollection's Kraft paper

That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by:

A manly card

I'm still trying to get a hold of how to make manly/boyish anything.  I'm pretty bad at it.  This is an attempt at a Birthday card.  I thought it wasn't bad.  I need sentiments that are more squarish of sorts. Nothing too swirly or pretty but these were the best sentiments I had that were manly.



The breakdown and supplies:

First I stamped Printworks Collection Dad's truck stamp on some Papertrey ink's Stamper's select white cardstock. Colored with my Copics (I'll list the colors at the end).  I stamped the sentiment "celebrate" from Inque Boutique's Mini Birthday stamps set ( I think they went out of business), using my EKSucess Stamp-a-ma-jig stamp positioner to make sure that the sentiment ends up in the center of the license plate area with Memento Dew Drop in Tuxedo Black ink. I cut the image out using my EKSucess Precision Snips Scissors. Those things are amazing for cutting out all those tiny details. Love them! I used my retired SU! My ABC wheel stamp (it looked like a road to me) with the Stampin' around handle that had an un-Inked stamping around cartridge  re-filled with VersaMark and embossed with Stampendous! Stamp-n Stuff Embossing Powder in Detail Black Opaque on Papertrey Inks Stamper's select white cardstock and distressed with Pumice Stone distress ink. The background paper is from Cloud 9 Designs Wild Indigo Specialty 12x12 Paper pad, I distressed the edges with Heidi Swapp's Edge Distresser. With American Crafts Ginger Alphabet stamp set I created the sentiment "beep!" using Memento Dew Drop in Tuxedo Black ink.  For the card base I used Recollection's Kraft cardstock, put on the "road" flat on the card and popped the car up with some pop dots.

Valentina


Just another card share.  This is using Green Bean Baby stamps by Ellia called Valentina. Isn't she just the cutest!


Break down and supplies:

 First I stamped Green Bean Baby stamps by Ellia called Valentina on some Papertrey Ink's Stamper's Select  White Cardstock  with Momento Dew Drop Tuxedo Black.  Colored her in using my Copics and atyou Spika pens (I'll post the colors at the end).  Once she was all colored and looking pretty I cut her out using my Spellbinders Nestabilities Standard Circles Large.  I took some KolorFast Brown Crepe Streamer and made a frame around the circle. Then using my Fiskars fabric scalloped shears I cut scallops on the streamer. Added some some scrap ribbon, some Recollections bling (that's the Michaels brand) and some white paper roses I got from Favorpro colored with my Copics to  match. Layered all on top of Recollections white cardstock, I believe. Have had it for a while. Don't remember where it came from.

Stamping Bella Card


Hello,
It's snowing it's butt of here in Cinci.  We're supposed to get like 8 inches or something so schools got canceled.  Husband is home playing and watching the children so I'm enjoying some peace and quiet in my room making the Thank You cards for Christmas. I'm almost done. I needed a little break so why not update the blog. I think I got my mojo back. It's been a while since I've been able to just sit down and create so I'm enjoying this very much.  I created this card a few days ago.  Stamping Bella had a fantastic sale for Cyber Monday and I've been itching to play. I got some refills for my copics so I can start playing around with them some more.

The breakdown and supplies:
I stamped Stamping Bella's gidyupabella with Dew Drop Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Colored in with Copics and atyou spika pens. I'll post the colors bellow. After everything was colored in I used  inkadinkado Stamping mask paper to cover the bella.  Then I stamped the barn from Pink Cat studio Background Plate #5-Farm as the background with Colorbox Scarlet pigment ink and grass from Flopsy I'm pulling from you MFT Stamp set(that's the best link I could find, It's an old stamp set) stamped with some green ink I've had in my stash. It doesn't have a name on it and I have not idea where I got it from. I used my Copic multi liner olive 0.05  to add a few extra streaks of grass. After everything was stamped I cut it out with Nestabilities Large Octagon. While the paper was still in the die, I used the die as a stencil. Used my Copic Airbrush systems to add some blue for the sky with my Copics. Removed the die and there is a white border around the whole image now. Added some pop dots and cut Nestabilities Large Scalloped Octagon to add another layer underneath.  Used Recollections Kraft cardstock as the card based embossed using my Provo Craft Cuttlebug and Sizzix's embossing folder Argyle #2.  Then I inked over the raised area with SU!'s Crumb Cake Classic ink. I stamped Stamping bella yeeeehawwww! sentiment and cut it out with  Shapeabilities Ribbon Tags Trio and edged it with Colorbox Scarlet Pigment ink. I took some scrap ribbon layered it thought the hole of the tag. To make it pop out is simply just tied the ribbon too tight. It was an accident at first but I liked the way it looked so I left it like that. If I wanted it to lay down all I had to do was just loosen the ribbon some.
