Riley CAS

It has been awhile since I played with my Riley stamps. I saw the clean and simple challenge this week and thought I would join in. This card is just that. I added some shimmery green paper that I had in my scrap collection onto this patterned card. Riley is colored with Copics. I added a Sweet N Sassy sentiment that goes well with this cutie. I embossed a small piece of the green paper which look so good on here. Added a few metal embellishment and there you have it. I am sending this one in to OWH. Hopefully it will make someone smile.

Get Well Sketch Card

Here is my first post of the day.

The get well and the bandaid stamp are from Stampin Up and the moose is Riley. I colored Riley with Copics and inked the edges. The paper is Recollections Bright and Basic stack.

I followed this sketch. I can't seem to make a card without a sketch lately.

Here is the challenge link for the sketch http://kgiron.blogspot.com/2012/07/sweet-sunday-sketch-challenge-163.html
Here are two other challenges I am entering this card into.

Here is a notebook I made for one of my students. If you would like to see how I made the background paper click here.  This was a notebook I bought for $1 and took apart and decorated then put back together.

Riley Punny/Funny Challenge

 Here is a bookmark I made to hold my place in a cookbook. I liked this fun saying to go with it.

The paper is DCWV. I colored Mixing Bowl Riley with Copics and inked the edges of the ovals. I used my spellbinders to cut them out and Lacy Ovals for the one behind Riley.

Riley Sneak Peek Week 3

 I made a mini card with Cell Phone Riley. The perfect stamp for a general/just because card. 

I used paper from my scraps. Spellbinders Lacy squares to cut Riley out and inked the edges. The pink-blue twine was perfect with this paper. The Hello stamp is a Fiskar stamp. A couple more days until the release of all these sneak peek images! Come back tomorrow for another peek :)

Birthday Set

I made this set for my nephew's birthday. His bookmark I used Plantin for the letters and the faux stitched them. I then laminated it and added a ribbon.

This is a candy bar wrapper which he was most excited by. I used Riley and colored him with copics. I added some Glossy Accents dots. If you have not made one of these yet they are super easy. I just wrap paper around a candy bar and use Tacky Tape to secure the top, bottom, and side. I use my paper crimper for the top and bottom.

 

I am so bummed I can not find the picture I took of the inside card. I know I took a picture but it is no where to be found which is a bummer because this has a gift card folder on the inside. I cut the cake from Smiley Card and spray glittered it. The rest is pretty simple to see. 

Thanks for stopping by!

R is for Riley

I made this card for the current Riley challenge.
R is for a Riley Recipe - create a card or project incorporating the following - Riley, Red (along with any other colors you like) Ribbon, and Rhinestones!

I used my paper punch to give the card a little more elegance and added rhinestones along the bottom. The paper is DCWV. I think you can see what else I did on here.

Thanks for stopping by! 

Riley Birthday Card

 Here is a simple card. I just loved this shape and the colors. I made the card on my cricut awhile back so I can not remember which cart I used. I used my new Riley stamp and colored it with Copics. I used my paper crinkler for the purple background paper. I added a couple brads and there you have it.

I am entering this card in this challenge.
